How much is Kelvin Benjamin worth?

Doesn't he look a lot lighter to you.  Seems to have trimmed down.

Not just boost his offer, but if I'm KB, I want to know who is throwing to me on the Bills and what they got before I re-up. 

 

And if I'm the Bills, I want to see what KB shows and can he stay healthy before I back up the truck for him.  I wasn't impressed last year, frankly, though I acknowledge he played hurt.

 

Is it just me or does he look a bit pudgy and not very cut?

Ha.  I said opposite.  Check the pics from buffalobills.com.  he actually looks leaner to me

Could be. That would be good for him from both a health and production perspective if so.

sign him to an incentive contract now or let him prove he is defintiley worth the investment

I'd like to re-sign him, but there's no way he's worth the $14-16M those WRs got this offseason, no matter what he does next year. Nobody will be offering him that.

On WGR he said he's much leaner this year.

Which to me seems like the right move.

 

Gotta see how his knee holds up and if he is able to regain his previous higher end WR play.

How on earth did Sammy get $16 million a year?

 

Maybe agent has relationship on side with GM; no way would I pay him that much.

No reason to sign him long-term now.  Wait to see how he does and if he can stay healthy.

 

That there’s some risk would ideally save money. That’s the reason.

Tyrods fault obviously. 

 

So is world hunger, global warming/cooling, Trump in White House, proliferation of posters from BBMB, etc. What is new?

If we're playing the what if game, you could possibly save money by not signing him as well.  What if you sign him, he very much under performs or injures again, and you have to cut/trade.  End up with a huge dead cap hit and continues the situation we are in this season, with all those crap contracts.

 

I don't really think either side is very interested in signing a longer term contract at this point.  The bills would want some insurances in case of injury or lack of performance, KB would want to be guaranteed what he thinks he is worth.  For those reasons it is highly unlikely any contract extension gets done at this point.

Definitely.

Your knee, in single leg stance (so just during walking while on one leg) takes 4x your body weight LBS per square inch of pressure (psi).

That's not running or jumping, just standing on one leg.

So 225 is 900lbs of pressure

210 is 840lbs and so on

 

Knee health is directly related to body weight in many ways.

Best thing for him is to cut 15+lbs

You said there was no reason. I was just giving the possible reason. Not saying it’s a slam dunk towork out.  You guarantee a bit extra, give a little less per year, he gets some coin in his pocket up front....

 

its a risk but that’s how you get a discount if you want one.

You keep him. No more throwing out draft picks for rental players.  You have a cheap QB for the immediate future, and that QB needs WR's like Kelvin to go get the ball.
