WR Trent Sherfield signed

Looks like he's another YAC guy - that was such a weakness for us. I'm glad both our WR signings seem to be considering that.

 

Miami fans aren't happy.  We may not know him, but it sounds like this could be a sneaky good move.

 

If someone can post career numbers with Tua…

58.8 catch % and 5.9% drop percentage (3 drops) is solid. Can do worse for a #4 WR. 

And he’ll probably be closer to WR 5-6.

 

have we seen the financials?

Sherfield ranked as the #1 Blocking WR in 2022 by PFF for whatever that's worth 

I think it means more to teams than fans ever seem to realize.

I like it because he's basically a better Kumerow and good #6 guy. We have nice depth now which we didn't have at all last year.

 

But I am getting the feeling that we aren't going to be adding a true #2 WR. And I don't like that.

I always kind of wish it was a 2 year deal, just in case he comes in and is great but seems like a solid signing

^ Me reading your post thinking about a Buffalo offense that includes an effective screen game

his YAC was 3rd in over expected.   8.87 RAS score.   Played inside and outside for Miami

That was a magical moment only ruined by what followed.

Harty is an upgrade over McKenzie, and this guy is an upgrade over Kumerow.  

 

So, we're improving. There ya go.

We could add 1st or 2nd and work him

in slowly.

 

But I have a feeling Beane wants to sign Gabe Davis to an extension. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t draft a guy in the 1st because he will be low cost throughout Diggs and Davis contracts.

That is interesting and encouraging.  Bills expect their WR to block on run plays.  He is certainly big enough to do it.

Is this gunna count against them for the Third Round Comp pick?

[blitzboy54]

He looked really good last year. As the season wore on he got better and more involved. He has "pulled it all together" potential. I really like the signing. 

[CoffeeDrip]

No problem with this. Bring in all the WR competition we can. After Diggs I don’t want anyone to be guaranteed anything - Davis needs a push in the worst way and I want Shakir to get a real shot too. 

[Draconator]

So THIS is the move McKittrick was asking for

Guess we got a lil insurance in case Harty lands on the injured list

The analytics department gets to pick one player in FA and the draft.

"Who?"  -Brandon Beane, General Manager

Yes which they never really had a chance to get.  Too many roster spots to fill to worry about 1 pick

Our WR corp is better than last years already with guys that are sure handed and speed.

 

I agree with this in the sense that Harty upgrades McKenzie and Sherfield upgrades Kumerow. But I don't like that Davis is still locked in as the #2 WR. Short of a rookie receiver blowing away expectations, the best avenue for upgrading that spot is acquiring Jeudy, Hopkins, or OBJ. If we pull that off I'll feel great about our WR room, better than ever in the Josh Allen era. If we don't, I'll still feel underwhelmed by the weapons we've put around him.
