Defense doesn’t help a WR unless it helped them win a super bowl. Not the case here. It’s pretty much the opposite. Teams with bad defenses throw much more because they have to.

Could be from a talent perspective, but the patience had worn thin after so many years waiting.

I think it’s mostly that they are down to 4 healthy WRs, one of which is breshard perriman who will practice for the first time tomorrow. landry has had to play on the outside where he’s not as effective as in the slot. Calloway has been drop city, too. Edited October 16, 2018 by YoloinOhio

The player comes here, learn the playbook and ball out. He becomes the man and have a better chance of making the playoffs. For all we know, we might be a player away from making some serious noise.

Gordon hasn't light it up for the Pats just yet, don't get me wrong he has been solid the past two weeks but he has yet to go out and be a major factor in the game. If Gordon is anywhere close to what he was at his best for that Pats team then look out because they are going to be super scary. Gordon at a high level is a legit number 1 receiver, Gronk is the second best tight end in the game, Edleman is a legit slot receiver, White out of the backfield is a very good pass catching back, Michel is looking very good as an early down back between the tackles, while Hogan and Paterson are nice complementary players. Now if Gordon gets hurt/suspended or just never becomes close to what he was then the offense comes down to Earth a bit as they don't have that one commanding reviving threat but they still probably are a top offense in the league.

For all we know.....:sure. But if your HIM. You aren’t looking at it like that. You look at our offense and how putrid it is. The likelihood of being able to improve your stock over the rest of the year in Buffalo isn’t very high. We’re the WR graveyard. Everyone knows this. He ain’t coming here
Doc Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I'm guessing that since he hasn't signed yet, no team really wants him.

GG Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 There's definitely something behind the scenes with Matthews. Falling out with his OC last year Falling out with his OC this year Team grants his release (and it costs them a W) Remains unsigned, despite deep WR need by many teams (the guy who replaced him and dropped the TD was signed)

All we can offer them is playing time and almost no chance to put up numbers. Or money after this season - money is a pretty fantastic motivator as far as the history of signing WRs goes. But yea, we're not exactly a prime destination at the moment for any player looking to win now - anyone who would sign would need to understand and be hopeful for this rebuild. There are solid WRs out there who would go for this with the right price, but better to build this corps through the draft with FA help if needed. Same with the OL if we can.
whatdrought Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Wonder if that means Pryor is not going back to the Big Apple? Also might explain why they cut him to begin with. Also, It just seems like WR is a overall diminishing position in the NFL. Probably the air raid college systems that are producing unrefined talent. Edited October 23, 2018 by whatdrought
