I don’t think that anyone but the Bills, and to a lesser extent, Rams, are options for OBJ. He doesn’t want a long-term commitment IMO. He wants to finish the year well, while playing important games. He wants to prove he’s healthy, and win another ring in the process. In the off-season he will try to chase a big deal. 
 

He and Von are best friends. There was an article on it not too long ago. I’d bet, that a deal has already been “agreed to” contingent on him hitting certain metrics with his recovery. He will join the Bills in the next few weeks and be ready for the home stretch and playoffs. If he’s healthy, that’s his best option. He knows that.

That could be interesting.  We will see how it plays out.

Just what we need, a two time limping ACL recovering pink hair WR who wants big money for 3 or 4 games....

 

Get ur done Beane 

[hemma]

IMO, Beane is much more likely to trade a player for picks than to trade for a player or bring in a Temp like OBJ.

 

Unlike the Rams, I’m hoping Beane’s looking beyond his nose to keep the Bills on top for many years.

we are liable to pay him hundreds of thousands for those 3 games! The horror, to help bolster our roster for a run.

At what point are we just buying a championship? We don’t need OBJ. This isn’t the Miami Heat. 

 

Regardless of OBJ and the fact that football and basketball roster building are like night and day, did you feel the same way about the Von Miller signing?

The is on his 2nd ACL injury. OBJ won't be near 100% this year at all.  I would say it is a long shot for him to be ready in Jan at 50%.  It makes ZERO sense to add someone who hasn't played all year into a playoff line up.

 

I personally think if OBJ was really in demand, he would have been signed by now.  I think everyone around the league can see the reality and its OBJ himself that is drumming up fake interest.

 

Legit point.

Bills don't need a WR.  We are going to win the Super Bowl as long as we play our best football.  

 

What of the concerns from those saying that the Bills are one injury to a boundary receiver from having a serious problem?

OBJ will not be 90% in Jan

 

The first ACL tear on same knee was 10/25/2020.  The next season, he did not play until 9/26/2021.  A full 11 months.

 

OBJ tore his ACL AGAIN 2/13/2022.  It could take a full year before he plays in a game this time around.

 

 

 

Good post... thank you.

He returned to fully participating at training camp on Aug 25, which is 9 months.

 

9 months from 2/13 is 11/13, which would mean that he would be a full go for the end of the season and the playoffs.

Immediately after returning he won’t be himself. Needs some ramp up time.

That is what November and December are for.

You're right. 10 months.

 

So he would get 4 games in December and then the playoffs. So he'd be a pure playoff addition.

That has been my thought and I think it will be relatively cheap to prove to the league that he is both healthy and productive while chasing a ring. Honestly I don't want anything more long term than that with OBJ. We have 20+ FA next year. I would rather reserve that money for keeping our own. OBJ is just a fail safe for depth and mismatches. 

 

Shannon and Skip were talking about living in KC, BUF, CLE etc vs. LA and NYC. I just don't see him signing a long term deal anywhere other than LA this year. 

 

I do think KC is on the table, but Buffalo has the inside line on this one. KC would be remiss not to propose to his agent that OBJ and a healthy secondary is worth 4 points against Buffalo. 

 

 

[ShakAttack]

I didn't really want OBJ in Buffalo tbh, but ever since watching the Kelce's comments in the podcast/interview, I really want him in Buffalo just so he ISN'T in KC.  Anyone else feel this way too?  🤣

I’m hoping that Beane sees a glorious opportunity to win something this franchise has never won and goes out and secures players he believes will get us there.

 

The late 80’s to mid 90’s Bills we were on top for many years. 
 

I want more. I want a Championship.

 

Now.

I got nothing against OBJ being a playoff rental.  There are conditions I think most of us would want to see met.

 

1.  Cleared by Dr's, passes physical.

2.  Work out is commensurate with where he should be physically.

3.  His money isn't stupid.

4.  Knows what his role will be.

This is the most important.  He is not going to replace Diggs and Davis.  He has to "outplay" the other WRs, and he has

to fill the role the Bills need him to play, not the other way around.  If Shakir is the #3 guy he has to live with it.

5.  All this has to happen inside a reasonable timeframe that will allow him to have a chance to bring his game up to speed in time.

 

The clock will start ticking soon.  It's up to him to get healthy in time to be a benefit to the Bills.

If KC wants to roll the dice earlier than it wise, that's up to them.

 

[HOUSE]

If OBJ is FOR SURE COMING TO BUFFALO then why not buy a ticket and work out here??

Seems suspicious 🤔

Everyone wants that now, but spending the future for a possible return today is a gamble I am hoping he has the maturity to resist.
