Rams taking calls re: Robert Woods

[filthymcnasty08]

Didn't he hate it here being a So Cal guy?

 

Or was it our QB situation at the time and the Watkins drama?  Can't remember.

Love Bob, but again, what can he do at 29 and coming off a torn ACL that Davis can’t? Gabe earned this shot, hopefully the team gives it to him.

I don’t think Gabe has earned the Number#2 spot. He doesn’t have good, quick feet to cut on a dime. Obviously, he knows where his feet are at all times as his sideline dances have become the stuff of legend, but he lopes  which doesn’t translate to quick breaks. At this point, I don’t think he can even learn to be clever enough with his feet -ala Diggs/Beasley- to be a complete receiving threat worthy of a Numer#2 WR. To me, he’s Beebe on steroids.

ergo, Woods is better.

He couldn’t get out of Buffalo quick enough …

 

He wanted to go back home as he is from LA.  What was wrong with that? A lot of people would jump at the chance to play for their hometown team where they grew up.

One of the better router runners, One of the better run blockers for a WR.

 

The Bills run a lot of 4 WR sets and currently have Davis, Diggs, and Gadget Mckenzie.

 

I think that's good enough. no?

All things considered it worked out alright for him. 
 

I try not to hate on players too much for making business decisions. He was a good dude when he was here. 

 

to be fair…IIRC he came out of USC and  was from California..

[Mango]

I love Bob Woods. But his current contract is too high for us. And honestly, until this off season, probably too high in general. He’d have to sign a new deal. 
 

That said, the current WR is all out of whack, and $17M is probably not crazy far off. 
 

Watching the WR market, I think we’re going to have to start drafting guys higher more often to keep costs low.

bob woods - 6'0 205, Gabe Davis 6'2 220, still on a rookie contract. No thanks.

Money, age and injury make Woods a bad idea.  I like the guy but not in Buffalo.

Woods grew up and played High School Football in Southern California. He was a College Superstar at the University of Southern California. So when the LA Rams of Southern California came calling with a massive contract, he wanted to go home.

 

He wasn't unhappy in Buffalo. Wasn't a jerk here. Never said anything bad about the fans or the area. He's just a Southern Cali boy who had an opportunity to go back to Southern Cali. 

 

As a matter of fact, he had good things to say about Buffalo today:

 

 

 

I'm so glad you posted this.  Robert Woods NEVER (that I am aware of) has said anything negative about playing in Buffalo.  He played on a crap offense here with crap QBs and still gave it his all.  There is absolutely no reason to blame him for leaving as a FA to LA when his rookie contract expired.  None.

He got a much higher offer. When our QB was still Tyrod. His last year here was Rex's last year.

 

We were being crushed by the cap and the necessity to dump a ton of contracts to clean up the cap. Their offer just wasn't close to L.A.'s  How can you blame him? Especially on a second contract, nearly anyone in the league is going to go with an offer that's much higher.

 

I love him, I totally understand why he left, I'd love to see him here again but it ain't gonna happen. Having brought in Von Miller, we're very very unlikely to bring in more higher-level contracts.

 

My hope for receiver right now is from the draft. It's a great year for draft WRs. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an FA WR but at a lowish- to medium-level contract.

 

He didn’t want to be here.  He was going to LA regardless.  I don’t blame him either.

 

agree, draft a WR in the first 3 rounds, maybe @ 25

Yeah I realize that.  My point was.  He wanted to go home…… he didn’t want to be here. He wanted to be in LA.  And I don’t blame him.

I always loved Robbie here. Always reminded me of a broke mans Hines Ward and I mean that in the most respectful way. Good ball player

I always loved that Woods covered kicks as a starting WR and was really good at it. Tough as nails.

One of my favorite Bills during the drought years.....would love to see what he could do with Josh Allen throwing him the ball, but I don’t see it happening.

For real.

I would do this send a 3rd.  Redo his deal giving guarantees and lower cap hit.  And call it a day
