John from Riverside Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) If we are going to bring in a veteran I would rather see Jason peters If we lose dawkins for any amount of time we are in serious trouble Edited August 7, 2022 by John from Riverside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets waived and sign him like i said earlier in the thread, i see very little upside with this guy, but if your scenario plays out sure why not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If he's taking 3rd teak reps with the Giants, how could he get on with our team? We gotta much better skilled and deeper WR pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is anyone arguing that the round a guy is picked shows he's good or bad just doesn't get it. That goes either way. You can't use a first round pick to show the guy will be a success, and you can't use a late round pick to show he'll be a failure. The round a guy is picked is super-important right up to draft day. After you're picked, it's all how you perform. The reason your argument here is pulling so much crap is because it's simply a stupid argument. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think money is going to be the problem, not when you're signing him in August. And Peters did play a solid competent 2021 at LT for the Bears. Played 15 games competently. There are many reasons competent guys might not be signed already beyond competence and money. Teams might want to give their current youngsters playing time, they might have a guy as good as Peters who they want to groom and give experience to. They might figure since Peters is still available now, he will probably still be available in case of injury. They might figure older guys are injury prone and want to bring in a younger guy. I don't think they'll bring in Peters, but my guess is he's still plenty competent. For how long is a very legitimate question, of course. 5 hours ago, NewEra said: Just noticed Slaytons 2.5m cap hit. If trading for him will add 2.5M to the cap, pass.

If they even like Slayton, this is one of the main reasons they're not likely to trade for him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills404 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If he can contribute on special teams I’d 100% take him over Kumerow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills might be very focused on RAC this season to win games. and yes I do have an eye on this Shakir Kid Every move says it’s true… and it’s an interesting response to the cover two high shell a lot of teams play anyway. speed will not help that, punishing the d for playing off with RAC will though. It’s exciting to think about, Diggs, faster stronger Davis, McKenzie, Knox, Cook as a personnel group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think the OP has taken too much heat for this. For a 7th or a conditional 6th I'd do it. He is a better outside WR3 than Jake Kumerow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 1 hour ago, NewEra said: But is he worth 2.5M? That is only an additional $1.4m over Kumerow. And yes, I think he is worth that salary bump. Obviously you only do that if you are of the view that Taiwan Jones remains ahead of Kumerow as a gunner. The Bills seemed to think it was close towards the end of last season but I suspect gun to head they would still go with Jones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And around $1.4M more expensive than Kumerow. $1.4M is about 40% of their remaining cap space. They don't seem eager to kick more cans down the road and weaken their position next year. The Bills love Kumerow for STs. Wouldn't be too surprised to see another WR brought in if they feel they need one, and particularly in case of injuries, but I'm betting if they do, he'll be cheapish. I'm wondering if it might be Sanders. But my guess is they feel that in case of injury they could play a mix of Crowder, Shakir, maybe Kumerow and whoever's on the roster / practice squad. Maybe a lot of two TE formations or other groups. They'd like to bring someone in all being equal and the right guy being available. But they don't seem to think it's a necessity. Maybe they'll change their mind at some point but right now that seems to be where they're at. Edited August 7, 2022 by Thurman#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got paid backup money last year. If that's all he's looking for, he definitely would have been signed to at least be a backup who can play LT competently as a starter. So something is off there. Either he wants too much money this year since he took a discount last year or teams don't think he's got it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s better than Jamarr Chase, because the rounds you get drafted don’t matter according to the experts on this board lmao. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 These threads about every possible person to say “hey let’s add him reminds me of” Shakir is having a nice camp. It’s obvious we are set with Diggs, Davis, and McKenzie. Kumerow most likely for ST and an outside depth option. The last guy is a dogfight if we keep 6 in Austin, or Crowder. Not sure if they want to go 7 this year as Cook is also brought on this team for the passing game. Lastly, there is always Knox and although Howard has been reported as underwhelming, they may see a red zone fit for him where speed is not as important as just getting open and using his body to create the seam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gotta much better skilled and deeper WR pool Different team, different WR skills. We have speed in the slot with McKenzie, but while Diggs/Davis are deep threats, they’re not burners. Slayton has made plays in this league. Shakir shows promise as rotational outside depth, but I wouldn’t mind him having to beat out someone like Slayton for playing time over Kumerow or Hodgins.

I was really high on Stevenson taking a leap this year and adding speed out there. Kinda disappointed he's injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
