Wither or not he is worth it he is worth that is irrelevant because free agents almost always get overpaid and there are a ton of teams with lots of cap space that need WR's to pair with young QB's.

He's 6-4 yet runs the same 4.45 as Zay. No one says he's a #1 caliber we yet, but let's sign him and let Josh decide. Every time I saw him play for the Chargers, he looked great. I don't want a 30 yr old Tate or even Funchess. Get this done OBD and then draft the best we in the 2nd round. He's on my list of UFAs I'd sign, I just see him as a complimentary WR (in Woods/Marvin Jones mold) not a true number 1. 1

Full court press one of the edge rushers and interior lineman and then sign some young guys to prove it deals after the rush dies down. Bringing a guy in because you have the money is not the answer imo. Especially, where the draft meets your value. So who is your big game on the DL? Do you have specific names? They will no doubt be in demand and still have to agree to come here.. I think their immeadiate needs are on offense, and if they cant find a big name then I'll be happy with 3-4 mid levels if you are using Tyrell Williams as an example of a mid level guy.... Fill your needs in FA and look to the draft for BPA, although they have enough picks to find a decent WR and OL piece in the draft on top of what they pick up in FA...

I think he and Josh would have instant chemistry. I think he gets at worst 12 million aav and could get as high as 14-15 million aav. Personally I am not sure which vet WR the Bills will land. T.Williams and Tate are going to command huge money, I am not sure who else is really good on the market, John Brown will get paid close to 10 million aav not sure if he is a quality WR2 or not. There doesn't seem to be much else on the market other than Cole Beasely or maybe a released veteran like DeSean Jackson. 1

The Now Moment Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 31 minutes ago, Mat68 said: Comes down to what him and his agent feel his worth is. I imagine that is more than what Buffalo feels his worth is. 4 to 6 mil a year is a stretch to me. I think he will ask for more. The wr class is deep l, the FA market is shallow. I think they would be better off looking elsewhere for outside help than FA. I don't think you understand how big contracts will jump with the new cap for each team. THere's a lot more money and players are asking for more. The great players will all be looking for 20 plus million and up. Mid level players are needed as well as a few great players. 2

Clowney and Lawerance are the top ofcourse. I also really like Frank Clark. Depending on what position you think he is best at Barr is intriguing as well. Buffalo has a pile of cash. Imo they would be better off paying a premium for a premier position. Depending who is available on the Oline, that needs to be a priority obviously as well. The Wrs are very poor. No real value outside of getting a guy on a prove it deal coming off an unproductive rookie deal.
Turk71 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 speedy John Brown will not cost as much or command as long of a contract, will stretch the field by outrunning almost any db in the league. Speed kills, and with an arm like Allen's the safety will have to respect that. He is only a year and a half older. Then draft another receiver in the first 3 rnds. I would not want to overly commit $ and length of contract to Williams, an udfa with one good year 2 yrs ago. 1

I would rather pay 20 mil for a priority position than 10 mil for a guy who will never meet the production.
Turk71 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Plus Brown has played in the cold in college and the pros while Williams played in very mild winter in college and no winter in pros.

These D Line guys would be great but they need to become available in the first place...and then agree to come here... Barr I will pass... I disagree that either Williams or Tate are "very poor".. we could do with either...

Except no team needs a number 1 WR to go to the super bowl. You need plenty of options though. Reliable receivers and pass catchers at the RB and TE positions. Julio, Beckham, Green...were any of those offenses even top ten this season? It's just unnecessary and riskier because all your eggs are in one basket and if the guy gets hurt, you're screwed. Tyrell looks like a solid receiver and would pair nicely with a 2nd-4th round rookie receiver. That seems to be where the value of the position is in the draft.

I guess they didn’t make the SB cause of that though.
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Like I have stated in other threads about Williams, he has decent hands, excellent straight line speed, and is a strider. However, he is not a crisp route runner. He would be a solid #2 or #3, but he's not worth #1 money. He really excels at shallow drags and medium crossing routes because he can out run the defender and turn an 8yd crosser into 15-20 yard gains. He's a decent bomb threat. Where he struggles is trying to sell double cut moves because of his long legs, he tends to round his cuts. 2
