Really? This is actually the guy I want. He’s already tight with Knox. He’s versatile where he can line up as a big WR. He’s fast. We really need another TE, I think Dorsey wants to run 2 TE sets. 

 

The Engram rumor made me think of Mitch last year...Engram needs a prove-it to regain some MV, and the Bills need an actual threat at TE2...Win/Win...I'm guessing it would be very cheap for a year...If that's the case what's not to like?...Another position you don't have to Draft in 2022...

Engram is a tight end by name only.  He’s really a big slot WR.

2 extremely athletic TE’s are not your father’s 12 personnel. Crazy mismatches. Especially if the CMC rumor is true

I get it, Belichick demonstrated clearly how 2 TE sets in the moderns NFL can work. If McBeane says this is the way, then so be it. We'll see

Plus we have Tommy Doyle who can line up as the jumbo TE when needed , it was working well at end of last season

2 TE sets have their place, but it's not an offense I want to transition to with this kind of signing. I'm high on Gabe and I'd like to see us get McKenzie more involved. I think there's probably a better WR/receiving option we could make a play for in FA, by trade or draft. I trust in Beane, but my gut says pass on this move. 

This wouldn’t be Cleveland/Baltimore type 2 TE sets.  

Think Diggs and Davis out wide, Engram in the slot and Knox lined up off tackle.

And he had the same amount of TD's as Beasley did. 🤣

$4M for a 178 yard receiver McKenzie and $9M for a 400 yard receiver Engram.............yeah Buffalo would be getting bargains because of Josh Allen. 

That McKenzie number actually bothers me more than 9 million of Engram. 🤷‍♂️

I was critical of Daboll @ times and I like the Dorsey promotion, so I'm excited to see the changes he brings. If this is what he envisions I'm on board.

This would align with them having interest in Engram...

And go against being interested in Wagner or Gronk

Looking at his Twitter, he clearly works with the team somehow.

You’re assuming a guy like Chandler Jones wants what the team would define as a BIG $$$ Deal, don’t give up hope yet!

I may be in the minority but i hope the bills don't sign engram.

 

Knox is due for a contract extension which surely will put him over 10, engram is going to malke I am assuming at least 7 per?

 

Bills are predominately an 11 personnel team and that is Josh allen's bread and butter.

 

I don't want upwards of 20 million tied up to tight ends

I wonder if they will justify paying both in that engram is a hybrid WR

That is a fair point to bring up.

Yeah i think this makes a ton of sense. They must see the crazy upside of Engram. He could be a Deebo Samuel type of weapon if he is used that way. He is bigger and faster. Having Knox in the lineup allows the Bills the luxury to do a lot of crazy stuff with Engram.
