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

The Bills have a somewhat complicated passing system. Alot of route options/decisions to be made based on coverage. It's why they like vet WRs and why I think McKenzie had struggles in an increased role.

 

That's not to say that we won't have young WRs but the Bills will always have veteran WRs on the roster IMO especially after what happened last year.

Should the bills target Woods if he could be signed for around 6-8 million?

$6-8M? It’s in the ballpark but I feel $6M tops is his market.

 

Marvin Jones has put up better numbers than Robert Woods over the past 2 seasons. Both 31 years old…. Jones will make $6M next year.

 

Im gonna say 1 year $4-5M… 2 yr $8M

Everyone immediately jumps to Beane in these threads, but I have to wonder how much Josh’s opinion is sought out with regards to WRs. Josh isn’t a rookie anymore. Does management ask him what he thinks he needs or who he thinks he can work with? 

You would think after 5 seasons Allen would want to have frank discussions with McDermott and Beane about the types of WRs he likes throwing to and what skill sets are missing in their current group.

He is equivelant to Gabe Davis, in my opinion. Might as well stick with Gabe because he is younger.

 

But I'd want to see an upgrade at #2 WR.

I'm usually not in favor for these type of moves but this is one case where I wouldn't be against it if the price is right.

I’ve been waiting for this thread. I loved Robert Woods both in college and as a professional. He’s bounced around a lot but has always looked productive to me. 

 

He’s like Sammy, but in a round world where producing actually matters.

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.  

And this is exactly what they should do.

[BBills_88]

No, I want young new durable WR's.

Stop with the older, multi injured, WR's.

Oh that's one of the colder attempted slaps on Gabe Davis I've seen.

 

Robert Woods 2022 was what Cole Beasley 2022 would have been had he actually made a roster.........a clear step back from the 2021 Beasley that wasn't good enough.

 

Maybe Woods had injuries that he can bounce back from but 9.9 yards per reception?   58% targets caught for a short/intermediate receiver?   Passer rating in the 60's when thrown too?  

 

Woods was BAD last year.

No...how much cap space do you realistically think they can clear? I would rather have a rookie WR for several million less.

To be fair Woods missed time in 2021 with an injury and last year had arguably the worst QB throwing to him in Malik Willis. That said at best he's a middle tier #2 but more bottom tier if ask me. 

[Mr. WEO]

Does the Bills WR have to be a welcome mat for guys who used too be Bills?

 

Jeez.....move on

I think that’s why you saw smoke and beaz come back…

[Norcalbillsfan]

If we are bringing back older recievers at the end of thier career my vote is Beasley. We saw what happened to this offense without a solid slot.

[ngbills]

No more than $2-3m

Yeah I like it. $2-3M maximum. Would be a good WR if we go out and get a couple of speedsters to go With:

 

Diggs

Davis

Shakir

Woods

 

All 4 of these guys are tough receivers. Need a couple of Burners.

Aside from the fact they do absolutely nothing in a similar fashion, you are spot on. 

[Luka]

Bobby Woods back in Buffalo would be excellent. One of the best run blocking wideouts in the league and would be a great addition to the receiving corps.

 

[John from Riverside]

My question is, I know he’s getting up there in age, but how washed is he

 

I thought that bringing in Sanders was a good idea just like maybe bring him back would be a good idea
