The Bills Blog Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) It appears we may have seen the last of the Kelvinator. He remains unsigned, and it's hard to envision a team finding a role for a slow, lazy ex-star with suddenly brick-like hands. At one point, he was referred to as the top WR in this free agency class. It's one of the more sudden non-injury-related falls from grace I've seen for a first-round pick in recent years, especially one who was a borderline household name at one point.

BruceVilanch Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 That one above average season and his first round draft status will get him signed somewhere for the next couple years, and he's still relatively young.

Saying he was a star at any point in his career is completely wrong. He was a borderline #1 WR for a few years.Thats it. He's done
Happy Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 IMO, it was over sometime before KB came to Buffalo. We just extended it. 4 6
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 KC needs to learn that any cast off WR from the Bills isn’t worth their time or money. ? ps: Woods was not cast off just not resigned due to cap 1
Estro Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Overweight, slow, not quick, doesnt fight for the ball, and appears to have no desire to be out on a football field when he plays. I dont remember disliking a player on the Bills quite like I loathed Benjamin. For all the credit Beane gets around here, he deserves a ton of blame for blowing a 3rd rounder on that guy. 11
billsbackto81 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 No. He'll catch on somewhere, but the hope of ever seeing a big money contract is history. He'll be relegated to 1 year "prove it" deals until his career ends.
Thunderstruck Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Should make the move to TE, honestly He isn't going to cut it at WR anymore 2
mrags Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 If he wants to resurrect his career, he should do what I did with him in Madden. Convert to TE. 1 3

TEs have to work pretty hard in the blocking game. I don't think he has the desire in him to make that change. 8 1
HansLanda Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 He'll get signed by a team that is trying to tank. 1

HardyBoy Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I think his knee issues are impacting his game much more than being lazy. Watch how he breaks out of curl routes, he has to take 4 or 5 real tentative steps consistently to turn around with a super wide base. Looks like a washed beer league player, and no way that's an effort thing, not entirely at least, he has no explosion in his legs left. It's actually really sad and unfortunate, and hopefully he can keep out of the same mind traps that ended up overtaking Hardy. 5
BuffaloBillies Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 At least he proved to everyone that it was all Cam's fault. 8

No one is saying that he's omniscient. Good GMs take smart calculated risks, especially when your team has a glaring need. At the time he was signed he was suppose to be a number 1 receiver, the fact that he wasn't hasn't set the team back at all. Next you'll be criticizing him for every third round pick that didn't pan out?
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Strongly disagree. A top 5 GM just traded two draft picks for him. He’ll get another chance on that alone. 1
