They have a decision to make on Dawson Knox.

That's going to be a dead cap hit or restructure that's going to cost them some money.

So you do have to pay for it, but at the same time, you can't worry about that when you're trying to win a Super Bowl.

So it's so amazing we're having this discussion.

I mean, it's like deja vu all over again, because Tremaine Evans for five years in Buffalo, really nice player, but the criticism of him, and I fully agree, he just never made really impactful plays, game-changing plays.

Solid player,

He was there.

He was generally available, had a couple injuries along the way, but he never truly made a difference.

Like a first-round pick that his size and his athleticism, he should be making game-changing plays.

The Bills moved on from him.

They go to a smaller linebacker, Terrell Bernard, and maybe you don't get all that consistency, but he made game-changing plays and recoveries of fumbles and interceptions.

It was kind of funny for that.

He goes to Chicago, and I actually think watching him from afar, maybe he made a few more of those kind of splash plays, but not enough.

And it was a lot of money, and he's still young after all these years, still 27.

I know, right?

I've always believed, and I've always said this, that I always felt Tremaine Edmonds was most suited for a 3-4 inside linebacker role than a 4-3 middle or weak side linebacker role.

I actually think that suits him better.

So what's ironic is...

the Bills are going to transition back to a 3-4 under Jim Leonard.

I don't think they're going to revisit Tremaine Edmonds.
