Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Just now, K-9 said: Nothing against you or your post personally, but I’ve never liked the term “letting them walk” when it comes to UFAs. Once they played out their contracts, the players were in total control of their futures. We simply weren’t in a position to “let” them do anything. Or not. Point granted, but will you grant the counter-point that if one values a player, a team re-negotiates before the player plays out his contract? If he gets the point where he's played out his contract and reaches FA, the team has effectively "let him walk" I do see your point though, that it's imprecise language
wppete Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I love the move. We have a lot of speed at WR right now. I like what we have at WR.

I also think Goodwin was underutilized and would have been nice to keep. Can't say I am with you on Watkins though. He really hasn't done anything to prove himself more than a highly paid, highly talented JAG. That's why my point on Watkins was: if the team wants to move on, why not trade him in FA or early in trading camp, and make a push to sign a quality WR? Just now, wppete said: I love the move.

Great question. I think that was mismanaged. I mean... We did have Zay Jones and eventually Jordan Matthews... So... We're kinda a big deal.

This was a move to the future- clearly out of playoff mix now. Time to kick the tires on the new guys. KB and Holmes arent part of next years plan anyway.

buffaloboyinATL Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I can see the conversation that lead to Andre Holmes release right now McDermott addressing the team: “Does anyone here believe Kelvin deserves to be on this team?” <Holmes raises his hand to support his fellow receiver> McDermott: “OK, Benjamin and Holmes are both released. Does anyone else believe Benjamin deserves to be on this team?” <crickets> 8

If only he doesn't strip off and break windows for Jesus in future offseasons. The whole Jordan Matthews etc thing just has me jittery about our ability to scout offensive talent. 1

Matthews value was definitely overestimated. I feel like if he had been healthy he could have been a nice possession guy.

Both points are valid. i have concerns about scouting WRs and Offense in general at this point. Certainly not a hater. just concerns. Btw Jones is turning my opinion 180 degrees. all hustle and looking smarter on his routes. I hope i was wrong again : ) 1

Beane and McD need to take some advice from Daboll moving forward. Dennison was a nut
78thealltimegreat Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) Any doubt we are completely overhauling this offense went out the window I’m just surprised Charles Clay still is employed but probably not for long Edited December 5, 2018 by 78thealltimegreat

Even a terrible athlete that tries hard is better than someone like Benjamin who collects a check and dogs it all game.
