OldTimer1960 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Depending upon where Andre Johnson's price lands, he may be an interesting option instead of a big TE. I know that he is older, but I'd rather pay him than Charles Clay or Jordan Cameron - of course if the $ are roughly equivalent.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I think that wouldn't solve anything. Part of the benefit of a good TE would be there added blocking ability. We'd be avoiding the position

We'd be avoiding the position Most of the TEs that are good receiving options are nothing special as blockers. Â Johnson is within 20lbs of Clay and Jordan Cameron with much less injury history than Cameron and more production than either last year.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 It would solve the lack of experience and leadership at the position that was a glaring issue last season. Everyone is one year older, a year more experienced. And again, we continue to avoid a position of importance in Romans offense Most of the TEs that are good receiving options are nothing special as blockers. Â Johnson is within 20lbs of Clay and Jordan Cameron with much less injury history than Cameron and more production than either last year. Are you suggesting playing Johnson as a traditional TE? Cuz if not, it's still avoiding the position.

No, not suggesting playing Johnson at "traditional" TE, but Clay and Cameron are not really traditional TEs, either. I think Johnson at 33 can provide better receiving production than either Clay or Cameron. Can you get the same run game production withspreading the WRs out (including Johnson) as you can with average or less blocking from Clay or Cameron for pretty equivalent money?

It's an interesting take, I just can't picture how he'd fit in
Solomon Grundy Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The Bills STILL need a "big" receiver. A "throw it up to" guy. Was really hoping for Brandon Marshall, but would accept Andre Johnson(for the right price)

What is a traditional TE and does any team use that type of player?

Was really hoping for Brandon Marshall, but would accept Andre Johnson(for the right price) I think the idea of these types of players are overrated and inefficient. The goal line fade is as much as the QB as it is the receiver. I'd prefer to not have our offense need to have a "throw it up" to him guy.
billsfan89 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I don't think Johnson is going to want to play for no QB again. I think Johnson is going to want to play for a contender with a QB.
buffalo2218 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 A shell of his former self, IMO. Johnson never had anyone better than Schaub throwing him the ball, I seriously doubt he's anywhere near finished
negativo Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hard to believe he's gonna be 34 in July. Seems like just yesterday he was a young superstar. Time flies.
bkep32 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 for only getting 10 games out of him in a year not worth it...give him league vet minium with incentives
