Bills sign OJ Howard to 1-year deal

[vincec]

He's a heck of a lot better than Sweeney.

[Success]

Howard is going to become the star in Buffalo that everyone thought he'd be.

 

The Bills are completely stacked.  

[Blainorama5]

Who does a defense guard now??  Who they going to double team???

[Captain_Quint]

Will it be good mojo or bad mojo when the crowd starts chanting "Juuuuuuice"? 

[ColoradoBills]

TE 1 and 2 are taken care of.  Get a 6th, 7th or priority UDFA big blocking TE and things are looking great.

Why are a bunch of fans happy to bring in a guy who can't stay healthy, has been largely a bust and looks washed after a dreaded Achilles tear in 2020?

 

What you saw last year is post Achiles OJ Howard. 3.5 million for 140 yards and 1 TD?

 

Could have all but locked up Bates for the same money (2nd round tender is 3.8 million)

 

I don't get it

Not surprised he had a terrible year in 2021 after returning from an Achilles injury but 3.5M is a bargain for what he could bring another year removed from that injury. It was only a few years ago where we were paying Tyler Kroft like 7M in free agency.

I am not saying that OJ Howard is the best TE in the NFL. What I AM saying is that OJ Howard is going to catch touchdown passes and win football games for the Buffalo Bills! 

I am thrilled by this signing!!!

 

GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 athletes at TE gives Allen and the offense more weapons.

Just wish we had McKissic😄

The draft should be interesting. Beane seems to have set himself up to do whatever he wants. DBs, WRs, and LB/linemen depth.

[Locomark]

This was a boss of a deal. I guess they just handed McKindricks money to him. 

[artmalibu]

Cant wait, 2 TE sets with both being weapons!!!

[Buffalo03]

Who was that guy that used to do Q after dark on Q102.5 back in the day? I can hear his voice in my head saying "The Bills making moves on Beane....after dark"

[Matt_In_NH]

If he can become anything close to what he was supposed to be.......

This is a great TE2 signing with tremendous upside.  Add in the fact that he's on a cheap "prove it" deal and it's hard not to like this move.

We all just wanted to see your take, then go out and get a couple of beers and have a laugh 😁👍

They can use Doyle in that role.  As long as both tackles stay healthy and likely will add a 4th tackle anyway, can use Doyle for blocking.    May even told him, catch 200 passes a day from JUGS machine so you're not just an obvious running play threat.  But also could see them drafting a TE late and move to PS for this season.
