Makes sense in that case to add another WR incase Beasley can't go next week. I agree, bro! But can he help us matriculate the ball down the field? Sorry, had to. 🤣 Let’s hope for the best. Go Bills! 2

Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Also I'm hoping this is a 2 year deal because I live John Brown but you can get a similar player for cheaper right now and move on from smoke to save cap next year.

Plus I'm sure they want to avoid playing Roberts this week and have mckenzie play as little as possible as well Good points.

Royale with Cheese Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 With Diggs, Brown and now Stills....we have probably the fastest WR core in the league.
freddyjj Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 He played at Oklahoma 2010-2012 and was a teammate of Bills OT Daryl Williams in 2012. Stills came out early in 2013 draft and went to NO.
mjt328 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Not excited to hear this. Kenny Stills is a good player. But he's been sitting on the open market for over a month now. With COVID precautions, I'm not sure he could even be available to play for us in Week 17. The timing tells me they are at least worried about Cole Beasley being available for the playoffs.

While I like the signing, I definitely don’t want to replace smoke. He’s too valuable.
TheCockSportif Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 That would be excellent. Having written that, I cannot believe the depth at the WR position even now, but with Stills it could be absolutely killer.
machine gun kelly Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Stills is a body. Go look at his stats or watch old tape. I wouldn’t overreact on Beasely. Why? When Kumerow was claimed, we only have 1 WR left on the PS. That sounds like insurance with maybe Beasely, but maybe not. Also, the unknown for all of us on Brown. We don’t want to be in a corner as Roberts is too important as a returner to use him as a WR as we did in TN. They haven’t sign3d him, just taking a look. He wouldn’t play if not signed on a Wed. For this game so just insurance for the playoffs. It does tell me they wanted to place Kumerow on the PS, but the Saints scooped him up fast. 1
Dkollidas Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Could also see the team wanting an extra body to throw in for the dolphins game. Get Brown/Diggs/Davis on the bench as early as possible. He’d provide solid depth. If Beasley does miss time I could see Diggs/Davis playing slot, Brown outside snd Diggs/Davis rotating the other outside spot. Davis has developed to the point where I see a Beasley injury being overcome as long as Brown comes back. 1

With Beasley out and Brown's return questionable (just speculating), to sign a veteran WR with speed and some skill makes sense. If they just sign him for the rest of this season, I don't believe there would be any cap implications. The way Allen is slinging the ball around, if Stills can run a basic route tree, he could be productive and help out. It's good for Stills too - who wouldn't want to be a part of this team right now, particularly a WR? If he doesn't play much, it doesn't hurt anything, but he still gets paid. If he plays a lot and has some success, his FA value goes up in the offseason. I just saw the prior post that says he's great in the slot. I didn't know this. With Beasley's injury, this is exactly what we need. Hop & Fuller were the boundary WRs and Stills work’d the slot. Rosters are larger in postseason this year. Love it! 1

HappyDays Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I think this is more about Gabriel Davis than Beasley. He didn't play very well against the Patriots. I don't think McDermott trusts a rookie WR in the playoffs, even as the #4. Stills is more reliable. Also he's more of an outside receiver than a slot. 2
JPP Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 This is a no brainer.....if it appears beasley will be out for a significant amount of time or they think he will be....simple....get it done and get it done quick so they can bring him up to speed with the JA and the offence.....
BBills_88 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 This is great, if there is no bad weather and we can go empty 5 Wide, Diggs, Beasley, Brown, Davis and Stills. Just as much speed as KC 1

McDermott was not happy with Davis' fumble. Kid will learn.

It's obvious though that Beasley's injury is pretty significant. Again though Diggs can and has operated out of the slot. 1
