How many WR's are the Bills going to keep?

[njbuff]

Is it 5 or 6?

 

Right now the 5 seem pretty simple given the different abilities.

 

1. Benjamin

2. Coleman

3. Kerley

4. Jones

5. Holmes

 

And do they keep Ray Ray if there are 6?

[buffalo2218]

Given Coleman’s injury history, I’m inclined to think they may keep 6 on the roster. 

[Rad Likes The Bills]

definitely keeping 6. Hopefully Reilly can prove his worth on special teams to get Holmes off the roster. Ray Ray seems to have taken a step ahead amongst our young receivers, but things can change quickly.  

 

Right now I have it 

1. Kelvin Benjamin

2. Corey Coleman 

3. Jeremy Kerley

4. Zay Jones

5. Reilly 

6. Mccloud

———————————

7. Holmes

8. Streater

9. Dupre

10. Proehl

11. Foster

Not to mention Benjamin’s prior leg issues as well. And all the unknowns connected to Zay.

I’m guessing 6.  Possibly Streater or They pick someone up from other teams castoff.

The whole list is not exactly something to get excited about.

[CaptnCoke11]

I don’t think Holmes is a lock by any means.  I can easily see them keeping Streeter or Riley over him

[hemma]

I agree with your 5 and also lean to McCloud for the 6th. 

Somebody has to return punts and he seems to have hands + some wiggle.

I like, nay, LOVE this list!!  

[billsredneck1]

i'd be surprised if there isn't one injury between now and week 1.  i think reilly is a must keep. i got a feeling if he gets cut, he will be a pat the next day.

Speaking of which, exactly how is Holmes so valuable to special teams that he's irreplaceable? He has always seemed a very mediocre wide receiver...

This is what I’m hoping for as well.

 

would like to see one of the rookies step up and take Kerleys spot too.

 

i hope cam philips/proehl/Foster can do something roster worthy

Is it out of the question that they keep 7? 

[frostbitmic]

With the injury history of Benjamin, Coleman and possibly Jones, I could easily see them keeping 7.

[BuffaloFan68]

I can definitely see us keeping 7.  8?, 8, do I hear an 8? 

[ny33]

What is this obsession people have with Brandon Reilly? I’d rather have a proven mediocre receiver in Holmes. 

[MAJBobby]

They Kept 5 last year. 

 

However with the new KO Rules I think you will see a change in how Back End of Rosters are built. Gone will be the bigger ST players and more athletic guys. 

 

So could see 7 kept.

Because Reilly gives you what Holmes already does with Room for Growth. Over Holmes gives Mediocre play at WR and no room for Growth. 

Here is what I have so far. 

 

1. KB - Lock

2. Kerley

3. Jones

4. Coleman

5. McCloud

6. Reilly

7. Holmes

8 Phillips - PS if eligible or IR stash

9. Dupre - PS if eligible 

10. Streater

11 Foster - PS if eligible

12  Proehl

I would not be surprised to see McCloud on the practice squad unless he takes over punt/ kick off return duties.  Similar in height/ size to Kerley.  Don't count out Streater either.  I believe they will keep 6 depending on how many TEs they keep.  I wonder about Holmes who hardly played last year with the poor cast they had then.  If he makes it I believe they think he is too valuable on special teams/ inside 20 to let go.

[NewEraBills]

My six would be:

 

Benjamin

Coleman

Jones

Reilly

Ray Ray

Kerley

 

I do like what Streater brings though.  I'd toss Foster on the PS for sure.  Work on his hands the entire season and see what he has next year.  I think there's some untapped potential in Foster.  You don't get open like that if something isn't good about you.  He gets open a lot.  He just doesn't catch a lot.
