Honestly, I can understand people being down on Zay, as he has not lived up to his draft status yet. I just personally think he deserves one more year to prove it. He did improve from year 1 to year 2. And he wasn't meant to come in and be a #1 receiver in the league, but circumstances forced him into that role, which also meant that he was going against the best corners and maybe getting double teams before he was ready for that level. (And don't get me started again about the poor coaching he received.) Yes, a player like JuJu is way ahead of Zay right now, but how much easier was life for JuJu with HOFer AB on the opposite side of the field drawing all of the attention (not to mention having a HOF QB throwing to him instead of the likes of Tyrod, Peterman, Anderson, Barkley, and rookie Allen). I just think he deserves a year where the QB play and O-line play is better.
He'll get the year to prove it but I can't imagine he beats out Brown or Foster for an outside starting role, and he's definitely not beating Beasley for the slot position. The fact that we gave two big contracts to receivers tells me this regime isn't going to wait for Zay to develop. Right now he's just depth in case of injury. He did improve in year 2, but only insofar as he went from historically bad to somewhat competent.
JuJu makes plays happen:
Yeah it helps having elite offensive talent around him. But look at these plays. I haven't seen Zay do anything like this.

But I just can't figure out why any fan would be higher on McKenzie than Zay.
McKenzie offers speed. When the ball is in his hands defenses have to pay attention. What does Zay bring to our offense? I don't understand any optimism for him. He has below average separation, catch ability, and speed. He is an average route runner. What does he do that's impressive?

Uhhhh Tannehill and Mariota? That's a weird depth chart.

It isn't my money. It had no future implications on the cap. Pegula is willing to spend $3.5 million just to let this regime turn over a rock. Why should that bother me?

he released Corey Coleman after a 1 month rental that cost 3.5 million.
Why is this bad?

However, if he shows improvement from last season to the end of camp then he isnt going anywhere.
But where does he fit in as a starter? Foster, Brown, and Beasley are all ahead of him. Right now I'd pencil him in as our #4. If McDermott and Beane thought he was worth developing they wouldn't have overhauled the receiving group in free agency.

Absolutely FLEECED the Raiders in that trade.
Never understood the people who complained about that trade. I would trade any backup in the league for a 5th rounder. It was a free pick for nothing. I still don't know how we pulled it off.

I have to think Ziggy is causing the delay. They're running later than usual.
-
I think in the later rounds of the draft they will be looking for players that excel at special teams. They've been overhauling that whole group this offseason.

I wish Cleveland was on Hard Knocks again. Last year was the best yet and this year would be even better.

Not sure if he'll be cut but he won't be any higher than #4 on the depth chart which means he is officially a backup. I love that this regime didn't sit back and wait for a failed pick to "develop." Cut your losses and move on. Zay will never be a playmaker in the NFL.

I've sold myself so hard on Oliver, I'll be disappointed if he isn't available. Perfect fit for this defense

Honestly I’m glad he went to LA, he was an amazing talent but the Bills were holding him back so I’m glad he’s in the spotlight
You must be looking for the Tyrod thread

Kerley is not that diff than Beasley stats wise and many thought would be a solid contributor like he was in SF.
Did you just compare Jeremy Kerley to Cole Beasley??

Glad we stayed away from that contract. Curious to see the guaranteed.

Giants fleeced the Browns. A first, 3rd, and Peppers for a WR??? Holy hell
I don't agree that the Browns were fleeced but I will say people are overreacting about how bad this is for the Giants. 2 fairly high picks for a WR that isn't going to be worth anything to them while they rebuild over the next couple years. I mean they should have drafted a QB last year, but since they didn't they might as well prepare for a couple bad seasons and stock draft picks for their future QB.
Also not convinced on the Browns yet. Every year a dream team is formed and every year it fails. Rams came pretty close last year, that's about it.

So if all the qbs from last year besides Mayfield suck, and Barkley is a HOF rb, it’s a bad move?
Taking a RB anywhere in the top of the 1st round is a bad move. Taking one in the top 3 is indefensible.

Wouldn't surprise me if he is running the account posted in the OP. He is Buffalo's version of Incarcerated Bob.

Joey Bosa raved about him that one time.

This has been the craziest start to the offseason in living memory. What a fun day.

This simple play would have in the top 5 for our receivers last year.

Brown is virtually Foster and Beasley is virtually Jones. There is no upgrade.
If Brown is like Foster that means we actually have 2 starting outside receivers, which is a huge upgrade. And if Jones was a free agent he wouldn't come close to $7 million per year. This signing makes me think Zay is being phased out. They aren't waiting for him to "develop," they're going to cut their losses and move on. I love to see it.
-
This might be my favorite signing yet. Finally a receiver that you can rely on to make a tough catch.
Calling it now: Zay Jones will not be on the week 1 roster.

I mean I don't see any comparison between those highlight videos. JuJu makes a bunch of tough catches and shows more speed. Zay makes some competent plays. It's a world of difference.
I guess I don't remember any incredible plays he had with the ball in his hands, or any incredible catches. He is just a guy on the field. Defenses aren't watching film to figure out how to stop Zay Jones. That's why we signed John Brown and Cole Beasley. Defenses have to worry about them.
