Giving out a significant contract to a scrub player just for the sake of saying “HEY we tried” is a horrible idea. The draft has some depth at WR, FA not so much. You can do both you know.....draft at WR AND bring in a free agent it has been done before
Dr. Who Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 I would like to get DK Metcalf in the draft. I hope we concentrate on getting o-linemen in free agency. We'll have to overpay, because they are a hot commodity and teams like Jets and Jags have lots of cap space and need as well. I think a fella like Tate would be available at a reasonable price and be the right kind of reliable veteran to add to the mix.

That's a good point. We should grab Tyrell. The real questions we should be asking are 1. what are the best Williams' we can acquire in FA and 2. what Williams' are there to target in the draft. We kind of have our hands tied there. BPA and positions of need simply might not be an option. Greedy Williams should be our target in the 1st round. We're low on Williamses and that deficiency needs to be priority #1 this offseason. 1
John from Riverside Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 I will definately defer to ppl who have watched him play more and I dont want to be paying number 1 money to someone who is not a number 1....that is the kind of thing that has gotten us where we are at now. Just show me the alternatives....I personally have always liked Golden Tate......we should draft a WR high....we have found a couple of guys this year that can play on the team but need that one guy who will take pressure off of them. I dont JUST want to depend on a rookie

You missed my point. NO MORE WILLIAMSES! While some of them (Kyle, Marrio, Aaron) are/were good players, the Bills have sucked with them. Tounge in cheek....what evs.
LABILLBACKER Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 I would prefer a Moncrief type wr but I think T Williams has the capacity to be a solid #2. But only on a reasonable contract. Our #1 will come out of this draft.

Nice, Austin Proehl and Ray Ray part two.

I hadn't realised until speaking to our Jets correspondent on here the other day that Robby Anderson is a RFA. He is now head and shoulders my #1 choice at receiver. If the Jets try and whack the low tender on him I'd make my move. Ironically my 2nd choice remains Onunwa but his constant injuries do worry me. I like Enunwa as a player too, from the old eye test. But I think they're going to keep him, it sounds like he's a big part of their leadership.

Tate’s best football is behind him. I would actually love Tate on a 1-3 year deal. Exactly the type of receiver who is going to find an open spot after Allen does his scrambling out of the pocket. I think it would be a good fit.

Because I really don't. I don't think he's a #1 or 2, and I think we have a couple of depth WR's in Zay and Foster and can probably find one or two more like that at cheaper prices. I think Tyrell's going to get overpaid. 8 minutes ago, K-GunJimKelly12 said: I would actually love Tate on a 1-3 year deal.

I like Tate too, and I'm usually opposed to bringing older players (or Notre Dame guys) in. But I think he still has something left and I like his game. You're right about him being a good fit for Allen too. Hes an instinctive player that could definitely help Allen when he's on the run. 8 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Would not be opposed to Sanu either....... Sanu's OK. I'd rather have Tate and another guy by trade or a high draft pick. Edited December 14, 2018 by HomeskillitMoorman

Tounge in cheek....what evs. Lol I understand your concern but maybe.. just maybe we just didn't have enough to clear the hurdle! We were pretty close with all the Williamsons on deck in 2014. Maybe we were just one or 2 short. Edited December 14, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks
NewEra Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 I just want guys that can catch Josh Allen’s fastballs on big third downs.
LSHMEAB Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I remember a thread about Julio Jones and the consensus was against it because he's 30, yada, yada, yada. You're not getting Jerry Rice in his prime. We're not getting perfection. All UPGRADES should be explored. The Eagles were terrible at receiver Wentz's first year so they acquired a bunch of guys to see who would stick. That's the approach we need to take. Edited December 15, 2018 by LSHMEAB
Laughing Coffin Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 We won't be going after a WR this free agency. It's slim pickens and nobody will want to be here. Need to get one in the draft

Julio Jones would be great. But Beane has been frugal with salary cap. And a player like Benjamin provides a veteran who makes tough, clutch catches. And whom blows away our #3, and will not break the bank. Veteran, clutch, cheap- sign me up
