At this stage. Kupp, Dhop, Copper even Adams imo are names. 2025 Palmer is as good as any of them outside looking at the analytics and efficiency ratings. He has been successful where the Bills offense has been lacking. He is 25 and entering his prime. Dont hate it. Big jump for Coleman? No. Offering more for the offense than what Hollins brought? Yes. Coleman and Hollins accounted for 950 plus yards and 10 plus Tds. If Coleman does 80% of that I'm happy. I think that is also realistic projection 750 and 8? That would be a very good year.

Understanding why a situation is taking place doesn't change a persons emotions towards it. He tried to solider through it. The organization saw a difference in his play. Seems it was more a challenge mentally returning than a physical limitation. Realizing the season wont go the way he wanted had an effect. I don't think it’s from a place of being a bad teammate or lack of effort. I think its more so a less then 10% difference in his focus or preparation. At the highest level the 5-10% change is the difference in a starter or a back up or a practice squad player. He was honest about it. A level of experience and maturity can make that a different situation in the future. Seems to fit what both Mcdermott and Beane were talking about.

I expect Shakir to emerge as the primary option. Coleman and Kincaid as secondary options. Buffalo has lacked a player outside since Smoke. I think Palmer could have a career year with Allen. Like his age and efficiency. Not THE guy but a player with upside and a role that was needed.

Another Beane after dark?

Von Miller & Bills trying to agree on contract?
Mat68 replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
If he agrees to a similar slightly less deal he did last season do it. His production and injury history is better than Bosa and likely less expensive. Would still want Hendrickson. Hendrickson, Miller, Rousseau and a rookie with Epenesea and Solomon is not a bad room. -
I agree with defense being priority at 30. I like what Burden offers after the catch. I think that translates to having the ability to improve his route running. I see him as potentially becoming a complete wr who can win at all levels of the field.
-
I think they have to. Bring his cap down so we can Hendricksons contract under the cap before he is signed to a massive deal.
-
Idk. Bedford is going to be most expensive. Likley the hardest to get to the finish line.
-
Imo both are more explosive. I think they have potential to be #1 WR. I do not see that with Embuka . Maybe I’m wrong and he is Jefferson or Thomas playing with Chase and Nabers. I think he is a 2 in the NFL. In the first rd even late would want more at whatever position. If they draft him I would be ok with it. He isnt a bad player.
-
First rd I would want a player with more potential. Luther Burden or Golden. If they are drafted higher ok. Late second the options at wr are the same to Embuka. Higgins, Elamoyer(sp), or Restrepo imo are in the same tier and im probably leaving a few out. I think DT, DE and DB will have higher ceiling players available. I can see the idea of waiting because the dline class is deep. I would rather have a higher impact player there vs the typical rotational pieces.

Another one - Trey Hendrickson asks for a trade from Cincy
Mat68 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
They are cutting money to pay Chase imo. Chase is Burrows best friend and a must get done. Higgins I doubt. Yes, and they have just tried to run it back every year. With weaker versions of themselves each season getting worst. -

Mat68 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
I dont agree about the dirty part. Dawkins said be is one of the toughest to go against and spoke highly of him. I think he would give him that praise if he was dirty. -
Another one - Trey Hendrickson asks for a trade from Cincy
Mat68 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Of all the names this has been the most realistic. Id prefer him over a WR. Cincy is keeping guys to make Burrow happy and cutting corners on defense. -
Thoughts about older draft eligible players?
Mat68 replied to OldTimer1960's topic in The Stadium Wall
Most part yes. Porter changed positions so less extreme. Imo potential is a prerequisite for a day 1 or day 2 pick. Physical metrics bench marks and production too. Most cases there is not much juice left in the fruit. They are who they are. Whether you see them as a starter, backup, or bottom of the roster that is the peak. Scheme fit is critical to get that level out of them. So scheme limits who can draft them. Team needs limits who will draft. That all results in them dropping lower than what their possible impact could be. Contract wise you dont want to extend someone who has already played their best football. You are paying for more. Guys you think are 1 contract go later. I think this is my position with Cook. He was drafted early for his running and catching ability. He also had an insanely low work rate at GA. Has about the same amount of carries combined college and NFL right now as guys being drafted in 25. Only 2 season of primary back load lends to his best still infront of him. -
Jags release Christian Kirk, seems like a Billsy move
Mat68 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
5’11 I would consider average. Not Mckenzie, Beasely and Brown small. 3 guys who can play anywhere. Assume in man situations one of them would have to have a favorable matchup to exploit. Not a number 1 but solid wr who is dependable. Attended Allens Bachelor party?? Thats the rumored outing? Beyond a splash move him paired with a rookie improves the room. -

Mat68 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Slayton is grossly over rated. Garbage time merchant. Over 5 mil a year is insane to me. People normalizing paying him 15 a year and insulted by Cook asking for 15 makes 0 sense to me. -
If they are not able to make a splash move at Edge. Cut Miller and go with an early pick and Bosa at edge is ok to me.
-
This screams. Please someone offer us a 1st. I believe a 3rd is the best they got so far. I would offer 61 for Metcalf plus their first day 3 pick.
-
Answer is the Gronkowskis lol
-
The last part is what all contracts are. Give the agent the 15 avp win. Give buffalo the cap space and flexibility that is really a 2 year deal instead of 4. I dislike the idea of a lateral move with day 1 or day 2 picks. They need to enhance the roster not maintain it. Moving Cook hurts one of the team strengths.
-
Maybe. With no Diggs and Dell now getting knee surgery it is def a need for them. As a two it makes complete sense. With Shakir and Coleman I dont see the fit as much. I like Colemans upside more. I think he could be what Nico Collins is now in a year or 2. It took him a few years too. If Embuka was there at 30 and Buffalo did draft him I would not hate it just not my first choice. Same with Coleman last season.
