If we're moving Buff it's partly because of money, and partly because we already have Myers and Trouba on the right. Franson is going to get more money than he deserves due to the inflated UFA market so that kind of negates a lot of the money reason to move Buff. And he also plays on the right, so we're in the same position of having a extremely expensive right side (when Trouba gets his raise).
I don't see a fit from a roster perspective, nor a cap management perspective myself.
I think that the only way we re-sign Buff is to play on LD in the top-4. Buff won't sign unless he has assurances that the Jets will play him on D, and the Jets won't pay his price unless they can play him in the top-4. Maurice is on record as saying that he envisions one of his RD moving to the left side in the future. Buff seems like the best candidate, though Myers might be able to do it, too. I wouldn't want to switch Trouba over at this point in his career.
