I'd love to sign him too, but is this where the money is coming from??
Taron. Maybe Milano or Diggs. -

I wouldn't worry about the board members who don't like the signing. You won't convince them to change their minds.
Going to be fun to unearth some takes come Fall though-

Why are people so against…
… moves that clearly give JA17 more dangerous weapons
… having RBs/WRs who can be deployed all over the field
… being able to disguise which pass catchers are doing what (remember that pre-snap motion is a thing)
… stats showing Samuel is not strictly a slot WR but is a model of production consistency
… the idea that a “boundary WR” can be less than 6’3” 215 and still win because separation is actually the most important attribute
… ?

Samuel is one of the most explosive WR's off the line and his separation yards were the same as Tyreek Hill at 3.3 avg
Would you just stop it with these facts? Getting in the way of many people’s predetermined emotional response!-

Elliott is intriguing. Other FAs available. Otherwise, day 3 pick.

I’ve gone from wanting Worthy because I think he’s at least WR4 in the draft…
To wanting Worthy just to see the board complain that “He’S aNoThEr SmAlL sLoT wR!” despite the facts that he plays big, runs great routes, and is consistently productive on the boundary.

Couldn’t just let us enjoy our new WR for a bit? Such T Swiftesque attention seekers.
But practically, I hope this means they are not targeting Worthy or McConkey.

Where are all the people who should be upset we signed a slot WR? Or who think WRs only operate from the slot or only operate outside?
Also, I feel these lists of our healthy fleet of pass catchers are sleeping on Knox.

Huge! Anticipated this somewhat with the Brady connection.
Now get a FA starting safety so we can go into this draft with true positional flexibility.

People commenting on the page count, you do know if we were just in talks with him this whole time instead of having signed him that this would be at like 50-60 pages, right?

We’ll see if ATL can take the division from the Bucs or sneak in as a Wild Card.
Is their OL good enough to keep Cousins upright? -

I think you have an old school mindset about formations and lining up. Kupp, Nacua, and Atwell are all classified as slots guys and they made it work. I get the idea of a bigger body across from Diggs but this is 2024 not 1995. If you have an innovator on offense body types shouldn’t matter.
Waddle and Tyreek Hill neither is a traditional X
Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel , Jahan Dotson
Jags had Ridley , Christian Kirk, and Zay Jones none of which are X WRs
Please stop making so much sense -
Would love news about Hollywood Brown or Curtis Samuel

By my calculation we lost 2 and gained 2.
Yeah, I’m not sure that’s how comp picks work-

We’re not getting comp picks, we picked up two UFA scrubs.
How do you know what comp picks are being awarded next year?-

Hmmm an outside WR who does not affect comp picks…

The #4. Beane spoke about the 4 spot last year being a guy who can play in the slot, can play outside, and is a vertical threat. That's what they brought in Harty for. He was the 4 who also doubled as a backup slot. A guy like Renfrow is redundant and offers pretty much nothing outside of slot play. I don't think you need a straight backup slot. You also have Kincaid who plays some slot. Renfrow would serve no purpose on this roster IMO.
Fair enough. Do you have a good source for slot vs wide reps? -

I don't really get why..
Shakir, imo, is a good player. I'm completely fine with him being our starting slot for the next few seasons.
Diggs will play outside, but has always been a guy - compared to the other top guys - who's taken way more snaps solely outside. He, as he gets older, should probably start getting moved around more. That means an increased snap share in the slot.
Kincaid is a future star. He's a TE, but like Kelce, will also take slot snaps.
Cook, if we want to truly maximize the reason we drafted him, should also be a guy who flexes out into the slot.
That's 4 guys. 1 of them a slot with outside flex and the other 3 as guys who should all see increased snap share in the slot.
No one out of Shakir, Diggs, Kincaid, or Cook solely plays in the slot.
Personally, I like having multiple pass catchers who can play all over.
Really not trying to die on the Hunter Renfrow hill but I am not against signing him on a prove it deal.
Anyone have a good source for slot vs wide percentages?

I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind. Shakir showed improvement all season and was one of the only reliable post-season performers outside JA.. and everyone seems to want to replace him and/or draft/sign slot WR's... when we have zero outside WR's and the one we have should probably see an increased snap share from the slot... oh, and we have a potentially (future) elite TE who needs slot snaps as well.
Do you think it is possible the people who are open to bringing in a slot WR also want to bring in an outside WR? -

The Bills don't need as many WR bodies as everyone seems to be implying.
Going into the season, they will only have 5-6 guys.
Stefon Diggs, Khalil Shakir are the obvious ones. They also really like Justin Shorter.
I'm absolutely certain Beane is looking to add a WR on either Day 1-2 of the draft. That already brings you to four guys.
Add one more cheap veteran in Free Agency. Then vets Andy Isabella and KJ Hamler have the potential to contribute. Tyrell Shavers also showed some promise in preseason/training camp last year.
I think they need to add at least three guys including a WR2 and two others who figure to at least compete for WR4/5. Whether that’s two FAs/one draft or vice versa I do not know although with such a deep draft I hope it is the latter. Not necessarily banging the drum for Renfrow but do not think the slot label should preclude us from signing someone. -
5 minutes ago, MrEpsYtown said:
Shakir and Kincaid are the slot players here. If you add a guy to the WR mix as the #4, it should be a pure speed guy, Quez Watkins, Andy Isabella, Scotty Miller, Mecole Hardman. I know Renfrow brings a lunchpail, but he doesn't move the needle at all.
Ok, but who is our back-up slot WR?-

You’re right, but if/when he mentions ranch dressing…
