Robert Woods released

[Alphadawg7]

This is not the answer we need. 

[LABILLBACKER]

I want young promising wrs on rookie deals. No more re-animating Beas, Smoke or Bob.

$6-8M for a guy who hasn't had a good season since 2020 and is gonna be 31?  Maybe the ACL recovery hindered him last season, or maybe he just doesn't have the same speed and agility.

 

I don't think we can afford that.

 

At the right price,  he would be a nice fit on the Bills offense. Dependable WR there's a dependable pro. Could be Josh's third down to go WR. I wouldn't hate the pick up for 3 to 5 mil.

I keep telling you people, the 'Other Robert' (Foster) is sitting beside his phone, waiting for a call.  Probably willing to work cheaply, and  check the stadium for litter after home games.

Pass....  

 

We have Gabe Davis and he will rebound next season.  Guaranteed.  It was a blip....  he'll be back.  Plus we can draft a WR for cheaper $$ and have more for the O-line revamp.  

You can draft a better receiver for cheaper $. Nothing against Woods. He's been a real pro.

[BillsVet]

Price has to be correct for a team currently 20M above the cap.

 

Still, Woods doesn't provide the deep option this team needs desperately.  But he could play outside, which is something this team did not have depth at last year.  Noticeable that his catch rate was down significantly from career norms, although the QB situation probably contributed to that. .  

 

None of that should diminish the need to draft and develop a WR...where Buffalo can only show Gabriel Davis between 2017 and 2021.

He had more catches than Davis did last year…

It wasn’t a blip, his drop and catch % have been consistent his whole career so far. 
 

There is no rebound for Davis, he needs a breakout. Bills need a backup plan if that doesn’t happen.

They traded him so I'm not sure he'd be so open to just head back there. 

 

I think he'd have Buffalo on his list of teams.  He'd be a perfect WR to add in as a jack-of-all-trades type.  Kind of like a younger Manny Sanders (who we missed last year IMO).  Also, he'd be pretty familiar with Kromer's schemes which has the WRs blocking quite a bit.  I doubt he's going to cost much.

Any of the LA teams actually. That’s home to him.

I’d love him back, and maybe the prospect of playing with JA would be appealing, but he didn’t seem interested in signing with us after his first run. Maybe it was the staff, or QB, or Buffalo itself, but I’d be willing to take him in at a team-friendly deal. If I remember he was very well-liked while here. Would be a nice fit if Beas decides to call it a career again.

 

 

 

…that being said, WR in rounds 1-3 please.

Just FYI, Beasley said he would play 1 more year for the Bills.  Obviously he could change his mind or Bills dont want him next year.  I would sign Beas as cheap as possible, he is good insurance as a backup, hopefully we get a new slot Wr starting

You can and should do both. We’re not getting an instant starter at WR in the draft, at least it’s not likely this year.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

No. Gabe and a rookie is the way to go with Diggs.  Crowder and Shakir for wr 4 and 5. 

I'd rather keep an extra linemen and Hines and  go with 5 WR.

Right.  Is he any better than the rest of the AARP crew we have at WR?

Still waiting on the T.O. back to Buffalo thread any year now!

Exactly, me too!

[ColoradoBills]

Diggs, Davis, Shakir and McKenzie.  Add an outside WR in the draft and Beane will bring in 2 cheap WRs in through FA to

compete with all the other camp bodies for the WR6 spot.

 

McKenzie could be a cut if the other guys play well enough.  I don't see a big $ WR in FA.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Buddy, git r done! 

[John from Riverside]

It’s a shame that we got to get old

[Steptide]

He hasent been good since his injury a few years back. Sign him for maybe 2 mill, and take a chance at camp, but he's not gonna solve our offensive woes

Yeah. I could see Chargers.

[GolfandBills]

I wouldn’t rush to sign him.  Let the market settle and see if he’s still there after the initial wave goes through.  If he can be had for cheap sure.
