I'm not saying Matthews is a top-tier wide receiver but he had decent production with Philadelphia before coming to Buffalo. Hogan’s numbers this year were pretty similar to his time in Buffalo. Watkins were worse. Goodwin and Woods improved but Goodwin was a number 1 in a receiver friendly system. His numbers were going to go up. You can add Thompson and his $2.5M to the list as well. The point is that they all signed for more money than people projected. They weren’t held back. They made more money than anticipated PRIOR to going elsewhere. They weren’t held back. Matthews isn’t being held back either. He just isn’t that good. He was a function of volume when he had success. He WAS 4th on the Eagles depth chart when they dealt him. He is a JAG.

Just as many here said before the season when he was acquired.

A player that can stretch the field and and play wideout. Zay is our slot guy. At this point the Bills should not count on Zay for anything. If he shows up in camp in shape and catching the football (for a Change) GREAT, it's like found money. We need to plan like he ain't gonna be there IMHO. 1 2

YodaMan79 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 If he'll take a one year "show me" deal I think they should entertain it. Other than that, someone had to catch those balls in Philadelphia. He is a nice player on an established team from here out. A slot 3 is his ceiling.
MrEpsYtown Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Man I like Troy Niklas. He will be a beast there. I'd love to have him here. Mathews not so much. I suppose he would replace Amendola? Unless they are going to wind up cutting Chris Hogan, which is possible.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 2, 2018 Author Posted April 2, 2018 No rush to sign him with the draft only 24 days away. Teams can always circle back afterward. 1

When he mentioned his expectations to be a #1 and semi blaming the Eagles for his poor performance last year was enough for me. Best wishes ! Good Guy , just not good enough Chip Kelly dumped desean and maclin for him. The worst HC/GM was all in on Matthews.. so i don't really trust Matthews' resume, which is still pretty bad given that he was supposed to be the guy in Philly and then gets dumped to #4 and traded for pennies
