Possible McKenzie Replacement Bills sign Deonte Harty (formally Deonte Harris)

People keep comparing this guy to McKenzie because of size, but you all should be comparing him to ol' Smoke John Brown.

 

My eye isn't as trained as most folk but looking at the 2021 highlights posted earlier he looks more like a Rappin' Cole Beasley. Apart from he seems to be able to stretch the field a bit more and evade the first tackle. 

 

There a multitude of chain moving 3rd down and 2nd & 7ish catches in there and separation doesn't seem to be a problem.

R.E.L.A.X!!!

Allow Bean to do his thing.

This guy makes McKenzie look like a giant. Harty (or Harris) is the smallest guy I’ve seen on the NFL in a long time. Let’s call him “Tiny”

 

Mediocre signing by Beane, high price

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.

 

No they didn't, he was already under contract for next year. He took a pay cut to stay with the Bills.

I get what people say about potential and granted I wouldn't know if he is any good even if I watched Saints but still, giving $5M guaranteed to a guy who has grand total of 793 receiving yards in 4 seasons (!) is really confusing to me.

 

I guess we'll see.

 

I do expect something really big happens in the next 36 or so hours.

Remember the short bubble screen Josh used to love throwing to Brown? Get ready for more of that...

 

I'm trying to remember what the audible call was...

Speaking of that.

This is what the Bills were looking at, IMO. Analytics that show a player who gets more opportunity in a better offense might give better production.

[iccrewman112]

My biggest concern with this signing is the offense last year essentially ZERO horizontal routes. The shallow cross was almost non-existent. 
 

Can/will Dorsey properly utilize Deonte?

Let me guess though you are praising the KC Chiefs giving 50M to a RT that never took a snap in his career on the Left to play LT right?

Did you actually look at the cap hits?

That is peanuts. People up in arms about $5 million guaranteed are really trying to find things to be upset about. Working OT on it even.

This has be an early April Fools joke.  

 

Averaged 0.5 catches and 3.25 yards per game last year

 

Over 4 seasons played in 40 out of 66 possible games, started only 4, caught all of 64 balls for 793 yards, 8.9 avg and a whole 4 TDs?  That averages out to 10 games per season, 1 start, 1.6 catches and 19.8 yards per games and a whole TD a year?   Plus 15 carries for 123 yards and 0 TDs and 9 fumbles?

 

Sign a 5'6" unproductive player for 2 years $13.5 million max with $5 million guaranteed?   An average of $6.75 per year?   What a waste of resources!!!

 

 

McKenzie, who is 2" taller, over the same time frame played in 61 out of 66 possible games, started 25 of them, caught 119 balls for 1137 yards, 9.6 avg, 11 TDs.  Running 36 times for 160 yards 2 TDs and 2 Fumbles.  Not to mention he's in the 2nd year of a 2 year $4.4 million deal - that had only $1.25 million guaranteed.  This year has a base of $1.75 million plus workout and roster bonuses worth $467,647

 

If this signing is real...   WOW!!  UGH!!!

Like the player but I don’t like his fumbles. He fumbles alot

 

I see that too.  He had 152 kick and punt returns.  I would like to know how many fumbles were returns and how many on the field with the Offense.

But what does PFF say? 👀
