Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Receiver or Tight End. Look at the teams competing in the super bowl this year. Each has not one but two elite receivers for each team. Beane is going to have to continue to work his magic. My nomination: Kenny Golladay. We have to check out his medicals coming off that hip injury but he'll only be 27 to start the season next year. At 6'4" he still has enough speed to take the top off the defense. A deep threat that has averaged nearly 17 yards per reception for his four year career. He'd play the Marquez Valdez-Scantling role in our offense. Would we be able to clear enough cap space to afford him? He's a candidate to be franchise tagged too if the Lions can't work out a deal. He'll likely earn the third highest WR contract in free agency this off-season behind Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin. 4

The Bills are $2.5 million under the cap and have to pay Allen a boatload of money, which they will. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/ Basically, they need to draft well.

BillsCuse Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 We are more than fine at WR, no reason to pay big money for anyone. If they want to draft one in the early rounds, then I can get behind that - Beasley and Brown are getting older. Tight End would be a big plus though 4 1 1

Brennan Huff Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I don’t want to spend a penny on pass catchers. I’m all in on pass rushers 2 5 2
OrediggerPoke Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Kenny Golladay and Josh Allen once put on a show that finally ended in 3OT at 230 AM MTN/430 AM Eastern. Golladay amassed 200 yards and 3 TD that night. But Josh Allen was better, and, converted one of the most ridiculous walk off rushing TDs when the entire crowd was screaming at him to throw the ball away when the play broke down. 9 4

But great ones don't grow on trees. Even hard to find really good ones. How are we more than fine at WR with Brown and Beasley getting older? I think we get one more good year our of Beasley but I'm not at all confident in getting another good year out of Brown. I'd take an elite Tight End over a receiver if we can find one. But that's the tricky part.

Yup... he’s lookin at Tannehill type money right now. I think the smart franchise thing would be to continue to make him prove it and play out his last two years of his contract. 4

He basically won the Colts game single-handedly, and played a LOT better than his stat line vs. Baltimore. Kubiak gave Allen one of his highest grades of the season for that game. Bear in mind that Gabe Davis dropped a pretty easy TD pass in that game, and that it was effectively over at the end of the third quarter. Edited January 25, 2021 by dave mcbride 3 2
LEBills Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Allen Robinson, guys been amazing with Christian Hackenberg, Blake Bortles, Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles throwing to him. Think how great he would be with Josh, and how much it would give to us when teams try to double Stef going forward. 4

Allen's new contract money wouldn't kick in for two years. And it would probably be back loaded. If the Chiefs can have Hill, Kelce, Mahomes and Chris Jones I'd like to think we can cut some fat and sign another play maker. At least with Allen we can be seen as a WR/TE destination now.

But overall they are better at WR, RB and TE. 1

How do you figure? He’s getting that contract this offseason, not next one.

He would be great but Robinson will probably be the highest paid receiver in free agency. We also already have a do it all guy in Diggs. I think we can get by with more of a one trick pony 6'4" deep threat type guy. Would really compliment Diggs and take advantage of Allen's arm. 2 1

He is only a little over $5 million this seasons despite signing a Half-billion dollar contract. Thanks.
ghostwriter Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I think a TE would benefit us the most.. Between Diggs and Davis I think we have pretty good talent at WR.. Let McKenzie and Beasley man that slot position.. No idea what the draft board looks like at this time but I also think DE is a massive priority. I’m hoping JJ Watt gets cut and the Bills bring him in on a decent team friendly deal.. I think DE, TE and WR are our greatest priorities going into draft/free agency.. 1 2
