It wouldn't be putting a band-aid over a position the Bills need to desperately improve. Signing Olsen would be a sign that 'The Process' is staying the course.

That doesn't just have to mean wide receivers. A Henry/Knox or Hooper/Knox combo would be awesome. Most likely, they just roll with Kroft again (or Olsen, if he picks us), but consider me firmly in the minority of people who'd rather they sign a younger option. I love that quote from Beane. I get that it might be a bit of lip service, but I think they understand that they need to give Josh more weapons. To me though, that’s the type of quote that makes me think more and more that they take Shenault if he’s there at 22.

Signing Greg Olsen wouldn't mean the team is signing a player who doesn't make sense for the team. Signing Olsen wouldn't be a desperation signing for a team with no prospects at TE who just needs anyone that might be good at the position. Signing Olsen would be consistent with the team philosophy of signing mid-ter FAs who can contribute and add leadership. - That's my translation fwiw. Edited February 12, 2020 by ndirish1978

I was confused by his use of the word "force". I thought "force to be reckoned with" or "may the Force be with you" while he must mean "wouldn't be forcing a guy onto the roster due to desperate need" 1

People seem to act as if spending big money on one of the younger guys like Henry or Hooper would be foolish, because it would take reps away from Dawson Knox. I don't understand this line of thinking. The Patriots offense seemed to me to be at its most lethal when it had two legitimate tight ends. The degree to which offenses can put opposing defenses in a bind by coming out in 12 personnel featuring two legitimate receiving and blocking tight ends should not be underestimated. Brandon Beane said he wants to get more "touchdown makers" for the Bills offense. That doesn't just have to mean wide receivers. A Henry/Knox or Hooper/Knox combo would be awesome.

That being the case, Seattle would seem to be his least inviting option. He's not going to jump in the car after practice and drive to DC and I'm pretty sure he can afford plane tickets so I don't imagine location from Carolina really has anything to do with where he'll sign otherwise why even waste his time with Seattle?

Bills!Win! Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 So what is considered the end of the week?

He was on during Super Bowl week saying how he loves training(who loves that *****?) and just wants to get back into playing. I don't see it.
