    Quasi-Rumor: Lavonte David and Bills

    Per ESPN Last Minute Free Agency Buzz one fit that is getting whispered about is the Bills and LB Lavonte David.
    Presumably this would be the replacement for Edmunds. David is a classic Cover 2 LB with good range and great instincts. He is older and the contract would be key here.

    With the NFL free agency negotiating window kicking off Monday, our insiders empty their notebooks on all the latest buzz, including what's happening in the quarterback market and more.

    Wouldn't hate it...depending on the contract...but I'd rather go younger.

      Me too, if we are going in this direction I’d rather have Wagner, David’s production went down this past season. But I would rather have T. J. Edwards!

        I'd rather have Wagner too.

          David is far more likely to be in our price range than Wagner or Edwards.

                So would I. Which is why extending Edmunds (for the right money....like Joe B. projects, $16M APY with a $7.92M 2023 cap hit would be a no-brainer and the smart move.

                Lavonte David would be an expensive band-aid and Edmunds was better than his last season, and still have upside....David is on the downside of his career.

                I know you don’t agree, but as we are going to see in the next couple of weeks, Tremaine Edmunds is going to be a hot commodity and IS going to become one of the highest paid off-ball LB’s in the NFL, as he deserves.

                  I was hopeful for an Edmunds extension, but that feels like it's not going to happen at this point.

                  David would make a lot of sense as a short term vet replacement. Tampa has the worst cap situation and no QB. They're probably looking at a pretty bad year. David has been really durable, a consistent performer and would fit in well. For how much they put on that MLB position, I could see McD really wanting a player like David for that role.

                    There's no way I'm tying up 17mil on a LB whose success depends on everyone around him. He's never taken over a game. He's a great compliment to this defense but not 17mil worth on his own.

                      I agree he's going to be a hot commodity.
                      I also agree he's going to make some bank.

                      I don't agree he deserves it, however, and hope it's not us that backs up the Brinks Truck.

                      If I were a GM of a poor-middling team with a ton of cap space I'd throw money at him, but I'd move to him to edge in more of a Von Miller-type role.

                        David can still play, I wish we drafted him when he came out. Never fell more in love with a player, 2nd round too, ridiculous.

                          Sportrac has the market values at:
                          Edmunds - $11.9M/yr
                          Edwards - $11.9M/yr
                          David - $9.7M/yr

                          Wagner was on a 5 year $50M contract.

                          The article I posted referenced that Edmunds may try and push the market and ask for around $20M/yr, Edwards will likely go in the mid teens I'd bet. Wagner and David could be closer, but I think you can get David at sub $8M per year where you probably need to be close to $10M for Wagner.

                            I’d be happy with Wagner at $10 million for two years, but I’d go hard after Edwards before Edmunds signs and inflates the market.

                              Cowboys are reportedly the team all over Wagner, so you would have to outbid them.
