Receiver Options For the Remainder of the Season?

[Warriorspikes51]

Assuming we don't get OBJ

Diggs

Davis
McKenzie - Strong performances the last few weeks. 
John Brown - Hopefully can still play. Remains to be seen

Other options?

Internal

Khalil Shakir - Showed well in BAL and vs PIT. For some reason, is not being used?

Marquez Stevenson - Practicing, has never contributed
Jamison Crowder - May return late in season / for playoffs

Nyheim Hines - is capable of being used as a slot receiver.

External
T.Y. Hilton  - Unsure of desire / shape

Will Fuller - Won't play in cold / mental state
Cole Beasley - Has stated he could come back if asked  (not sure if he was serious) or is in shape
Brandin Cooks - Possibly could be released and given chance to play for contender
Michael Thomas - on IR, rumors Saints will part with him after season. If foot/toe are healed, a release at end of regular season is a small possibility


Any other thoughts? 


 

[Chicharito]

If it could actually be plausible Brandon Cooks all day!

[RoyBatty is alive]

Fie with what he have, I would like to see Shakir get developed and insert Hines as a WR more.  I have already written off Crowder and Stevenson, keep the ine reserve emergency.

Not exactly a "process" guy, his attitude in Houston sucks.

[Solomon Grundy]

Michael Thomas would be a SUPREME addition. Only caveat is that it would make Keyshawn Johnson a Bills fan. That's almost worst than Nick Wright jumping on the bandwagon

would you have a great attitude given the situation Houston? I understand playing the cards you are dealt. He would be a huge edition to this team.

[John from Riverside]

I’m trying to figure out why Branden cooks is just a never ending gypsy
 

he seems to do well wherever he goes, but he’s always on another team the following year

No but I wouldn't cause the fuss and take a day off for rest and then announce next day he has a calf injury and wont play,  Especially since his is on his fith time in 6 years.  You want to take a chance on him?  and he wont come cheap.

[Process]

Teams were trying to trade for cooks and they wouldn't move him. Don't see why they would cut him now.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

I've said in the past that we need to get our depth more involved and rotating in. 

 

Which was before Kumerow was put on IR with the ankle. 

 

So I think internal is the way to go, Kumerow should be nearing a return provided his ankle wasn't a break, just a sprain. 

 

If he could rotate in with Shakir, that should be enough. 

 

OBJ, with all the rumors about him not working out, and questions about his overall health, you'd of course expect the Bills to clear that before adding him. Because we need him now, not 2023.

What was it that Julius told Gary in Remember the Titans when they were arguing doing two-a-days?

 

"Attitude Reflects Leadership"

 

Houston is devoid of a lot of things, and leadership is at the top of the list.

I thought i heard that Crowder was practicing again? (Could have just been a dream that i got called up to play WR for the Bills)

[wppete]

Would love to see Crowder make it back by the playoffs if not I would be happy bringing Beasley back if he is healthy and in shape. He knows the offense is very productive with Josh. 

[peterpan]

What about Antonio brown?

[strive_for_five_guy]

If Cooks or Thomas were actually cut, why would other contenders pass on these guys through the waiver process

before we had our shot?

[ngbills]

Available this season:

 

OBJ

TY Hilton

Will Fuller

Kenny Stills

Robert Foster

Cole Beasley

Josh Gordon

Adam Humphries

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I’d really like to see Beasley get a shot at a short run here. Knows the offense has chemistry with Josh. Fills the void he left in the passing game. Will be cheap…give him a look

[Buffalo_Stampede]

We cut a WR that’s starting for a wining team. 

[LABILLBACKER]

I don't think we need anymore wrs.  Diggs & Davis are the go to guys. McKenzie and Knox have been getting open but targeted less. After these 4, I'd incorporate Smoke, Shakir & Hines more into the mix.  That's 7 capable receivers. I could care less if Kumerow,  Stevenson and Crowder ever come back. These would be my top 7. 

 

Our problem is OL, not WR.

He wanted to be traded too and even sat out a game at the deadline because he wasnt happy...if they weren't willing to grant his request when they could have got something in return why would they do it now for free?
