So does Peterman get traded to Jacksonville? As him and Zay seem stuck at the hip.

...I mean we don't have a back up QB. 😏

Nope, I say this as a guy who thought Nate was a steal.

P5t5rman is a free agent.  I think he was cut after Gruden was canned.

Jags signing a lot of jags... and pissing off a lot of GMs along the way with these contacts.

Gotta wonder if the NFL should revoke the Jags license to football.

Jags seem like they are going to put themselves in salary cap hell.

114 million for Christian Kirk and Zay Jones  Ooooffffff

I made such a dick comment to him when I ran into him in Raleigh after a Sabres game. We ended up having a few drinks and he was a real nice kid.  Good for him

[Norcalbillsfan]

Zay looked like an average receiver with the Raiders. That’s a huge accomplishment considering his time in Buffalo. I wish him nothing but the best, but it’s frustrating he didn’t seem to take being a pro seriously in Buffalo. There’d definitely be a place for him with Josh. I wouldn’t ever sign the guy, but it’s a shame he couldn’t get it together here. 

Just keep him away from tall buildings with large glass windows, and maybe he will be decent..

From a 24-storey jumper to a 24 million contract - Zay has come a long way.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

He is a better WR than he was when he was with Buffalo. But that is stupid money.

The only thing I can think of is that these deals are likely structured to allow them out in 2 years. In the next 2 years, they have one mission... make sure Lawrence becomes a franchise level QB. If that doesn't happen, pretty much anything else doesn't matter. If he succeeds, they can sh*tcan these deals and give him an extension and set themselves to compete for several years. 

 

If he doesn't become a FQB then it doesn't matter and it's someone else's problem.

When he got professional coaching, a wake up call after being traded to the Raiders with a "real QB" andstill only  racking up 14.7 ypg  which he did not when Bills signed his WR coach from Eastern Carolina, he actually got better.

 

 

FIFY

 

This has me totally shaking my head.  I mean, the BEST year this guy has had is 56 receptions for 652 yds...and that was his 2nd year in the league, with rookie Josh Allen throwing to him.  Second best, 47 receptions for 546 yds.

 

Those are career journeyman numbers, not $8M/yr numbers

 

By the way, by every WR metric EXCEPT CATCH % and DROP %, his best year was 2019 with the Bills.   That's right...TD, 1D, YPG, R/G, all better with Josh "rookie" Allen than the "real QB" his dad wanted for him.

So we had been drinking all day for the Sabres game. Go out after and my buddy is wearing a Sabres hat and zay noticed so went up to him. My buddy didn’t recognize him and yells over to me and goes this guy says he plays for the bills do you know him? I’m like yea you’re the guy who fought Jesus!  He sort of laughed and was like man don’t kick me while I’m down.  At least he didn’t hit me. I bought him and his buddies a couple rounds and we hung out. Real nice kid and his friends were too.

Well, I get it, but if you want a guy to become a franchise QB, is Zay Jones really The Way?
