Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean he’s not good.

 

I love what he brings to the field. He’s a super charged Dirty and is a good return man.  It might be more expensive than I thought we’d pay, but he’s got juice.

His Cap is 3.7 Mil this year

But the Bills just resigned Hines. They don't really need another returner. And those are agent numbers for the contract. We'll have to see what the actual structure of it is before judging if the BIlls overpaid.

Like the player, don’t love the price. Would love to be proven wrong this season.

4.3 speed. Can’t teach speed. Excited to see what he can do.

Yeah! Both of em last season 🙂

So, for the money, is Harty (potentially) our starting slot? 

3.7M cap hit isn’t that bad, especially if you subtract 2.5M from that if we cut McKenzie. 
 

The speed/route running explosiveness in his highlights is impressive.  
 

I literally have never heard of this man until today.

Perhaps KC saw him as a Hardman replacement? 

[MAJBobby]

IMO here is your starting slot at this point

You can always tell the “I only want big name people” posters when they make posts saying “never heard of him I don’t get it I hate this signing.”

 

I like the addition to the offense. I think we found out last year McKenzie isn’t the speed answer this team needs and I think this signing at least gives us a new option.

This doesn't seem to be that expensive TBH

I do believe he is immediately penciled in as the starting slot

we'll see.  Beane brought in OJ Howard for a 3.5 mil cap hit last year....

Fun! I like it, sounds like a potential under the radar guy who can make an impact. 

[gobills1212]

Excellent signing. Its the ability to see things like this - an under the radar player who has played with substandard qb play - and bring him in here with an opportunity for josh to elevate his game and become a household name. Well done, and lots to love on that tape. Hopefully it translates on the field here

I would think they signed him to be more part of the offense than returning kicks.  He gives us the speed element that we lacked.  

This is a projection signing just like Jordan Poyer was.
