PatsFanNH Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 7 hours ago, 2020 Our Year For Sure said: Scheduled to hit free agency. Wonder if he'd be open to Buffalo? I'll bet he'll be a man on a mission in 2020. John Brown is nice but he's not enough on his own-- let's give Josh the confidence in knowing the guys around him can win matchups and make plays for him. I have read that the Bengals are going to franchise him, so to get him will take a trade.
Acattack15 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 It is a no brainer to add multiple wide receivers to the roster this offseason. How Beane decides to do that (Draft vs. FA, or combination of both) is up for discussion, but the need to improve our WR talent was 100% apparent on Saturday. I fully expect the WR's in this upcoming draft to be looked at super closely, and expect one of our first 2 picks to be a WR. My preference would be one with size (Tee Higgins and Shenault are my top guys at this moment). 1
MAJBobby Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I would not offer anything more than a 2 year deal (second year club option) with a little bit of guaranteed money. And very incentive based. anything more than that PASS. Edited January 6, 2020 by MAJBobby
ExWNYer Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 3 hours ago, 1ManRaid said: I would also double down on him plus a first or second round WR. One year deal with maybe a second year team option if he stays healthy and performs while the rookie learns the ropes the first year. Allen could have a real breakout year with AJ/Brown/Beasley and a year under the belts of Ford/Singletary/Knox. Maybe a healthy Kroft steps up. I'd rather see if they can pry away a young up and coming stud like Mike Williams of the Chargers. Big, fast, great hands and grossly underutilized by that organization. With Keenan Allen, Hunter Henry, and Austin Ekeler (and Melvin Gordon, if he's still there) there are a lot of mouths to feed there. Plus, they have an unsettled situation at QB. They may not want to let him go but I'd certainly inquire before looking into AJ Green. At 6' 4", 220 lbs, three years in the league, and still only 25 when the season starts, he's the WR I'd want. 1

thebandit27 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I think some folks would be surprised to learn how close he came to becoming a Bill in October 2 hours ago, BeastMaster said: Smoke says hi 2 hours ago, HOUSE said: You guys are nuts. If Allen could actually get the ball to his WRs, then Smoke and Beasley would’ve had their best seasons of their careers in 2019. Wait... 1 1 1
Hebert19 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Green on a prove it deal and draft another WR. 24 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: This throw ? That was an absolute dime. Needs to be pulled in.

Lofton80 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 He will not pass the Beane availability requirement.

If he could pull either of those off I'd give him LOTS of guaranteed money!

The facility and resources the Bills have put toward player health would be a huge factor in Green’s availability going forward. The Bengals have none of that. They don’t even have an indoor practice facility! Edited January 6, 2020 by YoloinOhio 2

I don’t like his injury history but I think that is the kind of thing that will keep his market price down a bit. Even if he’s only available 1/2 or 3/4 of the season I’d take it. I think you get a vet WR like this and draft a stud in the 1st two rounds as well. adding this element and a fast RB to pair with Motor ( Matt Breida? Kenyon Drake?) will take this offense to the next level. I agree on Green. I’d also be willing to draft another big target in round 1 or 2. Especially if the Bengals tag Green and try to trade him. We’d basically have him on a one year prove it deal, and his successor would basically be waiting in the Wings. And if it was someone like Shenault he could still be used in a variety of ways and basically replace what they had in McKenzie. Imagine a group of weapons like: AJ Green John Brown Cole Beasley Laviska Shenault One of Duke Williams/Isaiah Mckenzie/Robert Foster Andre Roberts Then at tight end: Knox Sweeney Kroft Plus: Singletary free agent like Breida or Drake 3rd round draft pick I have no doubt Beane will be on a mission to add weapons for Allen.

And bump Ford inside and sign Conklin in FA. 2
947 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Green is the perfect addition for us. Sure, he's had injuries, but he could step in day 1 & be a WR1. He'd come for a semi-reasonable 1-2 year deal. We still NEED to draft a guy in the first 2 rounds, and we'd be set at WR.

He’ll tag him and expect him to play another year. 5 minutes ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: And bump Ford inside and sign Conklin in FA. Just start Nsekhe dangit!!!
