but.. but.. I read somewhere that this was a dumb question ??

 

I mean technically the question was posed prior to the Coleman trade, so any comments on Jones prior to that trade are now up for debate

The end for Zay in Buffalo?

 

 

To have an end, dont you need a start?

Checked last page.

 

How are people not more excited about an incredibly low risk (sounds like we lose a 5th at worst, is that right?) and incredibly high reward acquisition????

 

Love it!

 

 

Enjoy your coffee this morning, transplant, because whether you realize it or not you have already won the internet today.

 

I just don't get it, either.  How can some of you virtually be aggro over this move, or are you just plan mad at Beane for not trading for Julio Jones?

 

Browns fans can make fun of us in their tweets all they want (yes, can't believe I wrote that, either), but regardless of some of our optimism over some of these young guys we were eerily thin at WR.

Bills will most likely grab a top 3 WR in next year’s draft. 

 

I don’t see it after this acquisition, especially if KB re-signs.

 

I think it will be a guard or center. Could even be RB since shady is aging.

 

...edits were made because of spelling errors and other crap

This board was so happy to trade Watkins but is happy to add this guy.  Watkins at least produced, this guy hasn't. 

But if it us a low round pick, the risk is low.

I still doubt they cut Zay. But maybe he is also moved for a low round pick.

 

From the sounds of it coleman was in danger of being cut. He hasn't produced, and injuries have hindered his development. He's getting a 2nd chance on a team lacking young talent at the position - especially with zay on the shelf.  I can't imagine we gave up much at all to acquire him.

You have been lobbying for this one for a while.  Good call, Kirby!  They are likely activating Gordon tomorrow and needed the roster spot.

Yesssss this guy has HOF type of talent.

Bpa? If next year is the year you want to make a big impact... You don't draft a WR, they rarely make one in year 1.  We could really use an influx of talent on the offensive line though. Especially cheap young cost controlled talent

Love this move low risk high reward. This guy has been injured a lot over the past 2 years but it was a broken hand twice( same hand). Other than that he was fairly reliable in college and such. I like this move and suggested we do this a while ago. Think he gives us that vertical threat we needed in this offense

DeShone Kiser, Cody Kessler, RGIII, Kevin Hogan and Josh McCown (three games)

 

That couldn't have anything to do with it right?

 

I'll take our 3 QBs throwing to him vs. his former crew ... great pick up at discounted price and 2 years limited cap hit with option for 3rd.

Albert Beer on si.com this morning says he couldn't handle more complicated route trees in Cleveland.  We'll see what happens, but if that's the issue I'd bet he gets cut.

[BarleyNY]

Truly an excellent speed WR except that he hasn’t been able to stay healthy or catch the ball.  I’m not being snarky here.  His speed and elusiveness are top shelf.  Im sure taking a shot with him was worth whatever late pick the Bills gave up.

Well, I'm sorry if I deal with reality rather than pretending that the Bills situation, past and present, is all rainbows and unicorns.

if anything this moves Zay to the slot which is imo his natural fit

I agree! KB and CC on the outside, Kerley and Zay in the slot. That right there looks like a respectable receiving corp.

[sodbuster]

A 7th in 2020? Love it.

 

[MAJBobby]

Bills get Corey Coleman - a top talent that struggled for two years 

 

Cleveland gets - 7th round pick in 2020

 

yeah no one can dog this trade. 

[oldmanfan]

I think one of the rookies comes on (Foster most likely) and Coleman gets cut.  But we'll see

I just heard this on WGR...and after I got up off of the ground in disbelief I responded in this thread.

 

is there a better definition of "low risk, high reward" than this?
