I know it’ll be hard to fit him in and we’re moving to 12 personnel but he seems like the perfect fit for what we use to do offensively and he’s available for a late pick.

 

Is Beane missing an opportunity by not trading for Renfrow?

Serious question. how long do you expect it to take to integrate anyone on offense where we see impactful results?

[Straight Hucklebuck]

The Bills have been partly prisoners of the moment trying to hold onto 2020, it would be refreshing to see a better idea than Cole Beasley.

And how do you suppose we acquire George Pickens?

I think the results would be disappointing.

Hines had 11 touches on offense in 9 games. 

 

Harty is catching less than 2 passes per game.

 

Sherfied has 6 catches for 44 yards.

 

And they’ve been here for the entire off-season and 7 games.

Again, the talent.

 

Thats what Allen needs. 
 

Diggs alone is not enough. 
 

And yes, Kincaid has not been fully realized. 
 

But all this hand wringing, WHO are you going to use more on this roster? 
 

And Renfrow? Just another duplicate of what we’ve tried for years.

Kincaid is about to be fully realized.  He’s going to be our #2 target in the passing game until leaves.  He’s better than George Pickens imo.  With Knox now out awhile- Kincaid will be out full time starting TE, maybe forever.  He’ll be playing some slot too, but adding a high Iq slot guy would help.  
 

idk if Renfrow is the guy….but if we were to add a WR the quality of Beasley in 2020. It would help our offense 💯

No he’s not. Renfrow’s cap hit next year is $13.7 mil. You’re praying that his lack of production is a result of McDaniels otherwise you’re left paying a lot of money to another useless receiver. We can’t afford that.

Expand  

In his defense, he had a 100 catch season 2 years ago before McDaniels got there

I am still high on Kincaid.

 

But the expectations need to be tempered. He has shows to be capable pass catcher that can get open in the zone. He is reliable and catches the balls he should.

 

He has not show that he can beat guys one on one. That he can dominate a defender and make contested catches. That he can run people over or juke people after the catch. 

 

Not to say some of this wont change. But as of now he is a solid reliable target that get you you some short yardage vs the zone.

I don't think our personnel is the problem.  Sherfield was good on the Dolphins.  Harty gets open.  Davis (matter of opinion on here).  Dorsey doesn't know how to call plays for anyone besides Diggs.  

 

Unless we are playing the Dolphins, which Josh just owns, changing anything besides Dorsey isn't going to matter

Expand  

You really think the offense is;

- Diggs run this route, you are the 1-4 reads and the check down.

- Everyone else just clear out the secondary…. 

 

You realize most NFL pass play designs provides a progression of decision making for the Quarterback, right?

He has all the tools you speak of and has shown to be able to do everything you speak of, albeit in college.  His rac ability is beyond obvious, if you haven’t seen that yet, rewatch his touches. He’ll never prove to able to make contested catches….. until we start throwing him contested passes.  
 

He is what we make of him. Just like any other playmaker we trade for.  We have to implement said playmaker into the offense properly.  It’s on Dorsey and Josh to allow these playmakers to prove themselves and eat.  
 

edit:  his problem has been penalties

This shiny object is even very shiny.

If we really need another WR at slot, I take Beasley at veteran min. over Renfrow.

This would definitely be the funniest way that the Bills could blow up the rest of their season.

Allen had 30 pass attempts last night. 16 went Diggs way. Not good. 

Expand  

Why not. If Diggs is the first read on 16 plays and he is open on all 16, he should get 16 targets.

I'm puzzled by the decline of Hunter Renfrow. He played great in the slot with Carr, but he seems to have been phased out of the offense this year.

 

He's only 28, but he has a $13 Million cap hit this season, making a trade to any team difficult.

Sounds great, but doubtful it happens.

I prefer this one

 

[Norcalbillsfan]

Ive been on the Renfrow wagon since last year. I wanted Beasley 2.0 for Allen for awhile.

 

But ill admit after watching the jets, jags, and Pats games I've started to change my mind, mainly because I don't think it's a personel issue or all on the play calling, josh allen has been flat out playing bad. He seems to be in a mental funk, and I honestly don't know if another slot wr will help as much as getting a defensive key player to help the depleted defense.

[transplantbillsfan]

Can't we trade for him and immediately extend him?  Or since teams need to have that CAP space available before acquiring a player, work out the deal with the Raiders so that they extend him to exactly the contract we want before we sign him?  I don't know if that's possible... but it could make the trade work.

 

Renfrow's current contract is just over $11m AAV.  He's Cole Beasley, but better. 

 

I would much rather pay Renfrow $11m for the next handful of seasons and draft a WR in the first few rounds than pay Gabe Davis the $13-$17m he's going to get as a 2nd contract.
