The Eagles absolutely won the trade. Because the value to them at CB, is higher than WR to us. Jim is doing a penalty incurring and fine inducing Celebration Dance right now. And he doesn't care a dingy about Matthews. He scored well here. The Eagles made the right move. I like Matthews long term. He aint no Watkins. Bills should hope Zay shines his light and draft another one or two for the future. Gaines? well. I remain open minded. Go Bills

Will be fun for me to Watch Robert and Sam play off the West Coast together. Gotta be pretty cool really. Sometimes I truly think they nod and wink about these trades and deals. Sometimes. Glad to see the thread winding down. There will plenty to compare when the season starts for those that enjoy that feature of the Forum ! Definitely going to keep n eye on Gilmore and TD MIKE, add to that Watkins and Woods ! Bills fans have always reacted the same way to in those days. I was one who bitched about Kelly among others at times. Now our reactions are quicker and create a longer chain. Lets see how it rolls for a bit. This really could be ugly, or a slow moving train that gains traction during the season. But I do not feel it definitive yet. I do see why some have defined the reasoning and then the result even in some cases here. Bills Fans stay the same. hard headed loyalists (some are in denial)

poor Kid. as I said. Wish him well.

New Staff and Coaches, he must have been aware everyone is expendable. Has anyone even considered Watkins had suggested it at some point. Or that Sean said something as a simple as " Maybe you want to play somewhere else? " jk about the last bit

Both you and The Old Man have opinions that closer align with mine. Because of what we don't know this really could go either way at this point. Truly open ended from my field of view. Folks can take a hard stance of even dig in their heels about these moves. I just cannot do that yet.. Great Main Course for discussion and then digestion ! stupid trade Stupid Trade! I don't like him. He mispelled wants, with once in his tweets. really irks me. and heey nucci callin someone dicjk is truly poor form Because? I might know your answer. But want to check in again ; )

I think you are leaning the right way with Streater. These are all storylines i will follow as the season develops !

Team effort my Friend ! Thank for the clarification. Good call. Thank you !

They were merged. I started the thread. No reason for them not to merged. The story is great and that is what matters

I was thinking more about High end WRs being a a luxury. When Bills picked Watkins, i did think. Why? EJ really isn't ready to use that weapon yet. Cooks is just Belichick being bored and messing with teams. Much like Gillislee is thumbing their nose to Buffalo. I would love to have Cooks here honestly. jealous of those basterdos

How long ago was it that you fell off the turnip truck? I fell off a couple times. but got the hang of it now. Mostly. Not down with the rutabagas yet to be honest. #keepgrinding

Flexibility to create mismatches is a thing I hear. Go Bills !

Interesting take

he is likely a very good fit with Dennison and the "kind" of Team B and S are building. Bills will find a speedster already on the team methinks. Darby is going to do well under Jim. Good for Him, Nice Kid for sure.

love stories like this. Thanks for the special edition/addition T&C !!

It is a business pure and simple. I had mentioned i felt he was less than delighted being a Bill for multiple reasons. and likely few of them his doing. But that is not why players sign or resign is it ? Indeed we will. Much too soon to reach long term conclusions my friend. and there is Almost Always more to the story : )

this is a fair perception Yep. Never had the mentor to help him achieve his potential. And The Ryan Circus was not good for anyone's development

My opinion. I do not think he liked being in a run first offense all these years and how he was used.. My opinion is he was pretty unhappy not being used to his ability. I wish him well

I can feel that as well.

Well defensed I like the cut of your jib on this one. Sammy was likely not all in. Best thing for everyone was to get him a fresh start. And I am learning to like Matthews as a very god fit in Beane/McDermott vision of the Bills.

He always looked suspicious to me

yeppers Kiddo. when he made it to Buffalo they looked into why he was never making interceptions even though he was on the ball. He said the lights were often an issue as well. I miss Donnie Henderson

Kid has the body the size . He read up well coming in. I think he had to sit his senior year due to injury and we picked him up late. a fifth ? I don't recall details. I just decided at some point i liked him on the field. mistakes and good plays. Cbs take some time, even today.

I will even bring my own oar ! yup. you can hope for Nathan, but the Bills will hope on Tyrod as they should. and next hope they should have is.. nailing the next QB in the draft That's our best hope. Love the Peterman Kid though !

Yep it was a damn full on surprise what Beane and Sean did. Your Son can wish him well playing with his buddy Robert Wood ! can still be a fan of the player

I dont think these guys are going to be used as we have considered Bills Football has previous. Are you suggesting Boldin cannot run a sweet curl? : ) Jones will line up outside mostly I bet if they want to threaten deep. and Bills will have to find a speedster somehow. Whether he is on the roster already or not. Jordan Matthews! Go Bills! and welcome to Buffalo
