Add depth free agents on inexpensive contracts. The Bills made a big splash by trading for Moore, and though more moves will come, some of the most important will be in identifying veterans who will sign team-friendly deals. It's a formula the team has used to find eventual starters in the past.
On February 21st, they signed Javonte Williams to a 3-year deal worth $24M in total. Williams, 25, gets $8M per year and a very solid $16M in guaranteed money with the extension. It will keep him in Dallas, at least contractually, through the 2028 season. He ran for over 1,200 yards a year ago, so it was important that they got a guy finally locked up, and they did it a bit early so that they did not have to overpay for him if other guys get more.
Maxx Crosby will not only cost one or two first round picks in a trade, his contract would cost the Cowboys $35.5 million a year. Trey Hendrickson won't cost the Cowboys any draft picks. However, his projected contract value is looking to be around $25 million a year. Odafe Oweh and Boye Mafe looked to be projected at around $19 million and $8-12 million.
There's been no deadline that's been put in front of me. There's no contract offer or anything, so there's nothing that I'm having to debate between. I'm a free agent. I'm enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying this part of the off season, and I think there's conversations to be had down the line, but right now, there hasn't been any progressive conversations.
Phillips had two sacks and 27 pressures after he was traded to the Eagles from Miami at midseason. His 12.4% pass rush win rate ranked 24th among qualifying edge rushers. Phillips could replace free agent K'Lavon Chaisson and/or make a good partner for Harold Landry III.
