Edit! McKenzie is back on a 2 year deal worth 4.4 million

[Canadian Bills Fan]

I would make him our slot guy for sure.  He has proven himself. Especially while Beasley was out 

[Dablitzkrieg]

I'm very happy with this.

I really hope that the 2022 PR is not on the roster.

Sweet! This is awesome news. Love the way he was playing at the end of the season, especially in that crucial game in NE.

if Isiah could figure out how to catch punts cleanly, he would be so nasty a returner

[YoloinOhio]

So I’m thinking he wasn’t the Ty Dunne leak?

[Process]

Love it. But I don't want him starting.

 

Great #4 WR and situational guy.

This ensure Cole’s release?

Expand  

Not necessarily. Cole's a solid possession receiver. It's the YAC his game is lacking. 

[MAJBobby]

2 years at 8M. That is a very good number for him. Though also at 4M AAV that tells me more in the offensive plans than not. 
 

also losing return duties to Hyde the punt catcher. 
 

i think this seals the deal with Beasley.

I love that McKenzie is back, but hell no to PR. He does well enough in the slot

[YoloinOhio]

Bills need speed. McKittrick has speed. Now use him. 

[Big C]

Unexpected and awesome surprise!

[BrainwashedBillsFan]

Sweet, love the guy in the slot. Returning punts not so much 

[buffalo2218]

So perhaps this means Hodgins finally gets his chance? We still don't know what we have in him

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

This is a good signing. I think there is a great opportunity for him and Josh to really mesh even further.

 

Also really puts into perspective what a guy like Kirk was going to cost per year. Grab another Wr in the draft Ne I like it.

Cole us definitely gone. He was the moment Brandon Beane asked a question about whether he would be back with the line "Cole can still play in this league."

Expand  

He was gone long before but I agree this was the moment when Beane confirmed it.

Cole wasn't returning BEFORE this move. After it, there's no way. He was either going to have to take a serious paycut or he'd be released. The fact that he was granted permission to seek a trade says he wasn't interested in the first option.

 

And there's no way we're keeping him for the role he has on this team with declining stats and his release being able to save us 6.1 million dollars on a team that has far greater needs.
