If Shorter doesn't look playable then I even could see them going with 5 WR plus Kincaid.   And the 5th WR might even be someone they trade for at the end of camp who can return kicks and punts if Shakir doesn't prove that he's not a taint' who drops too many passes.   

 

The fact that they are trying out these scrubs,  the quality of which they wouldn't have looked twice at since 2018,  should be the "sign" for the people who think the Bills have quality depth at WR.    Beane has cut it awful close.

It’s not even August yet and they’re already dumpster diving for receivers.

We need a new water boy possibly

Them and most likely every other team in the NFL. Teams always have their eyes open for guys that can push the bottom of the depth chart competition. This is nothing new.

This is what I was afraid of… I predicted that if they didn’t sign DHOP, there was a strong possibility that the Bills would be looking for WR by the trade deadline…

 

It just seemed obvious to many that they didn’t do enough at receiver this year…fingers 🤞

That guy had a ton of injuries and only playedx3 games with Tom Brady. 

[SCBills]

I don’t pay enough attention to other teams to know if this is common?

 

Are other teams roster churning at certain positions like we seem to be doing at WR?

 

I don’t hate bringing in higher pedigree guys and releasing players that were competing for PS spots, but it just seems …. Somewhat concerning.

That's an over-simplification........the Bills WR3 to WR13 consists of two of their own 5th rounders who've yet to prove/impress in the league and a bunch of UDFA's and/or guys released by multiple teams who've AT BEST only had brief stretches of success as WR's in the NFL.    No top 100 picks who haven't washed out like Harry or Isabella have.   Not even one veteran whose had a history of success in reserve.    They are one of the lower pedigree teams in the league in terms of depth behind WR1 and WR2.

 

The Kincaid 12 personnel thing REALLY has to work out.  More riding on that than you'd like to see for a rookie.

I was wrong about this guy.  I thought the Patriots got a good one.

The guy is only 25, He needs to stay healthy and find a real quarterback

All teams do this. If you aren't trying guys out regularly you aren't doing your job

They're just swapping out guys in the 7th wr spot. We still have better depth than we had going into last season.

He couldn't get open in college.    He doesn't need a better QB he needs to play in a league where QB's just chuck and duck the ball into traffic to avoid hits.  That would be the XFL or USFL.

one man's trash is another man's treasure. No shame in evaluating talent, this is what good teams/GMs do. The overall level of competition gets raised.

Eagles tried him out. Moreso just camp bodies.

Diggs,davis,harty,Shakir and Sherfield is solid with Knox Kincaid

Yes, they do. Further, teams tend to look for guys they liked coming out of college. Former high draft picks especially. If you look at the Bills specifically you'll see that a good chunk of guys they bring in fit this mold and some are even guys they had in on pre draft visits. 

 

Even if they don't sign them today it's always good to get a look and keep names handy in case of a run of injury at a position. Due diligence.
