We'll see what the Bears and others offer him.

SirAndrew Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 30 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Makes me wonder if the Bills are eyeing a player in the draft with excellent return skills. Great point, but there’s also part of me that thinks our roster is too good to put a rookie out there returning kicks. You never know how a guy is going to react at this level. There’s something about that position that make rookies scare me. The importance of kick returns have diminished due to rule changes, and you’re most likely to notice the returner only when he makes a mistake. Rookies tend to make a lot of them, I’d hate to lose a game that way.

The money talks though in most situations. I think it may be a situation where the Bills are wanting to leave space for a rookie and have told him that if they bring him back, it will be to compete. He deserves a shot to get paid.
uninja Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I won’t judge him if Chi is willing to give him a solid payday and a solid spot in the offense for snaps and playing time. He was an excellent example of the Bills FO bringing people here to be the best version of themselves. He busted out of Denver, came here and really shined on his limited role. I would cheer him on if he parlayed that into a good contract that set his family up for life. Hope you stay iMac, but you gotta do what’s right for your family and your future. 1 3

If he came back on the cheap and had a bad injury he might never see a decent payday (in nfl standards)

He really stepped his game up and was impressive. Hope he stays, but definitely can understand him getting paid.
Utah John Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 McKenzie can stay put, make a lot of money, and have a lot of fun as a productive part of a winning team. Or he can move, make a little more money, and watch his career crash and burn when the Chicago QB can't throw passes to him in stride. So many players leave a situation where they just fit right to chase dollars where they don't fit. I like him as a member of the Bills and I hope he stays. 2
JGMcD2 Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) McKenzie has made it pretty clear he would like to come back... I just don’t think we’ve offered him that opportunity yet. We’re looking to do something different. Edited March 19, 2021 by JGMcD2

Yup agreed, but as others have stated.....He has worked his ass off and improved a lot. So basically depends on where his mind is with it. He has earned more $$ for sure. So can understand if he goes that route. But speaking for myself I hope he stays.

Unless they have other plans for his replacement. We'll see soon enough. 1
Aussie Joe Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Not every guy is going to stay here for less than they can get elsewhere
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I wonder if we already have our replacement for him with Gentry.
The Firebaugh Kid Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) It's going to suck when we lose this guy. Edited March 19, 2021 by The Firebaugh Kid

The money talks though in most situations. Especially for guys like McKenzie. He's never going to make elite receiver money, so a half million here or there is a big deal to him...as it would be for most of us. Wasn't there a rumor that the Bills were interested in Cordarelle Patterson? Edited March 19, 2021 by Buftex 1
FLFan Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I like the player, but it is a role that can be replaced and it is not worth over paying him.
