well sure they can. If you have a burner, the defense has to account for that regardless of whether or not he gets the ball.

 

If there's a legitimate burner who has proven he can run routes and produce big plays against single coverage, then yes. The Bills have no such player on the current roster.

my apologies. i reread your post and you were alluding to current bills players. you sir, are correct. i originally read it as a generic post about receivers in general, my bad.

I feel like Sammy will want more than 12.2 million per;

I did not agree with the Sammy trade. But for him to get the kind of money he thinks he should get, he will have to have a complete 16 game season and absolutely light it up with a guy in Goff throwing the ball. Seems like the odds are more against than for those to occur.

they were actually having a conversation on sirius about this recently. apparently there are some rumblings from the veterans on la concerning how they may not be paid what they feel they should be due to new acquisitions, (new money for wood, what they're going to have to pay sammy, and some other examples were used). they didn't think there was any way they would be able to keep everyone happy. just a reality of football i suppose.

Rams are going to have to try to trade Tavon Austin. They can't pay Sammy with the contracts in place for him and Woods. Brutal allocation of cap space to one position. They have to figure out a way to pay both Donald and Sammy or its an egregious waste of draft capital and Donald is by far their best player.

Aren't the Rams already paying Woods and Austin (!) something like $16M together this year and next?

You beat me to it Yolo. The Rams have some problems... and no one - NO ONE - is trading for Tavon Austin at that contract.

Trade Dareus to LA for Donald after this season. I'm sure we would have to give up a little more.

and giving up a 2nd if they can't sign Sammy is even worse considering the picks they gave up with Goff, they didn't have a lot to begin with. Complicating matters is that the HC and GM didn't come in together. Mcvay is dealing with Snead's previous contracts and picks and like we saw with Marrone and Rex vs Whaley that can cause conflict.

They've already paid Austin a ton ($10.5M/year) and gave Woods a sizeable deal. To justify trading Gaines and a 2nd for Sammy, are they going to force the ball to him?

i think that Sammy will squawk if that doesn't happen, since he's in a contract year.

 

I kind of feel bad for Woods. He's like deja vu

Seems like the sour grape juice is flowing like a river among certain TBD members. :rolleyes: It might just be that Watkins will make Goff a better QB just the way that AJ Green has made Andy Dalton better. It's amazing how much a QB's play can improve when he has protection and targets ... or fall off if his team messes up his OL and trades away his best target. :thumbdown:
