He's nothing special and he's redundant with Zay Jones already on the roster. The Bills need a consistent outside receiver who threatens defenses vertically.

He’s dunzo happy to keep: - Gains I’d love to see stay -Brown, unless they can find better for same $ - O’Leary should be extended -consider mathews if great value (I think he got a raw deal and can be a solid #2 wr or slot) - Kyle if he wants back on team first deal - if Logan Thomas wants to be back as a continuing dev project, perhaps? Thats all all I have here, and re ordered by my opinion of priority Edited February 13, 2018 by Over 29 years of fanhood
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Gaines, Yarborough and O'Leary are the only ones I'd be interested in, all those others are very much replaceable. Meatball is a great leader but his 3 sacks are very much replaceable.

Meatball is a great leader but his 3 sacks are very much replaceable. There's a lot more to playing DT beyond sack numbers. Kyle can still be effective if he's paired with a DT who can handle double teams. He's also important to the team in a leadership role. Edited February 13, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz

I'm willing to let the rest walk unless they are taking a very cap friendly deal. I dont know how we let Gaines walk when he was such a stud

My big thing is if we had better quality rotating in with him they would look so much better Adolphus Washington is a dissapointment and needs to be cut

We dont even know what Gaines price tag is....he fits this defense very well. I get that he has had injury issues......but imo the best thing to do would be to bring back Gaines and Johnson and keep the group intact Just now, 26CornerBlitz said: Too soon to outright release him.

I am not big on talking bad about bills players.....but I sure hope the "developing" starts happening soon Liability on run defense Cant get there on the pass rush

Of course he could be expendable depending on what the Bills do in UFA and the draft.
Chicken Boo Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 2 hours ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: Jordan Matthews' skillset is redundant and unnecessary to our WR corps. Zay will have to earn his #2 spot back. Expect at least 1 FA pickup at WR, maybe a mid round draft pick as well. Redundant? You mean like Edelman and Amendola? I understand our receivers didn't have the best of seasons, but I think people's opinions here are skewed by below average QB play and the basic scheme that was ran in 2017. Jordan Matthews is a good receiver that can be had relatively cheap, I'd think. That's not to say we can't add more guys, but I'm 100% against just letting him walk. 1

We should keep Jordan Matthews. He's a good receiver, and I think would be a very good compliment to Benjamin.

Unrestricted Free Agents QB Joe Webb RB Mike TolbertRB Travaris CadetRB Taiwan Jones WR Deonte ThompsonWR Jordan MatthewsWR Brandon ateWR Jeremy Butler OT Seantrel Henderson DL Kyle WilliamsDL Cedric Thornton LB Preston BrownLB Ramon Humber CB EJ GainesCB Leonard JohnsonCB Shareece Wright S Colt AndersonS Shamarko Thomas Exclusive Rights Free Agents TE Nick O’LearyTE Logan Thomas DE Eddie Yarbrough CB Lafayette Pitts By the way, I wonder what it was that Brandon ate. Quoting because i dont care to go back and forth to the list. but this is probably the best year to have FA money. This list can be replaced and we don't have to bat an eye. My personal caveats include: If Cadets ankle checks out, i would consider. Tolbert and Taiwan gave me nothing. We could try to improve upon D Thompson but could bring him back if asking price is reasonable. Seantrell has potential. I could see him as a better RT than mills. Kyle, if he wants back, he gave us enough to warrant one last run. Preston does not fit, we need to get faster. Thank you for your services sir EJ Gaines woyld be the signing IF he could stay healthy. I almost feel like we have to move on from him as well Leonard Johnson, i like. He is feisty and isn't afraid to be physical. Good inside guy. ERs lets resign Yarborough and O Leary, Yarb played wrll on the left end spot and is also a good backup on the right side. Oleary seems to be a jack of all trades TE. Not great but will do what's asked if him.
