Too deep a draft class and he is meh… pass

[FireChans]

Would trade a second for him in two seconds

GIT ‘R DUN

I’d give up one of those 4th round picks we got instead of taking a 2nd WR in the draft. But that’s about it. 

[JohnBonhamRocks]

If the price is right, sure, but still also need to add a WR in first two rounds.

 

Edit: Strange move if they are trying to bring in Russ…

Not needed.  I like Shakir’s upside and Johnson does alot of the same things as him and Diggs.  Buffalo needs a different style wr.  Pickens?  We can talk about that but for a day 3 pick.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

Guy drops A LOT of passes. Does have some talent, though. I would be a buyer at nothing more than a late pick swap (we give them a 6th for Johnson and a 7th)

He is very good and has suffered from an awful OC and awful QB.

He is only 27 years old, and would fit well in our offense.

Assuming the compensation required is not significant -- something like a day 3 pick seems fine -- then I WOULD do it. The only thing that gives me pause is that 2024 is the last year of his deal, and he'd need to be re-signed.

Drafting a rookie in round 1 or 2 probably makes more sense.

Maybe they really like a WR in the draft?

His cap hit is 15 mil. Not sure what acquiring team takes on ?  
 

His base salary is 7 mil so I believe that could be converted to a bonus

5, 7, and 2 are his drop totals from the last three seasons.

 

Much better than I thought, honestly. 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

So a shorter and lighter Shakir? I'd rather see if Shakir can play outside. 

 

Surprisingly, he isn't a slot guy

I'm ehhh on it. I don't like going into the draft with such a MUST FILL mentality, but I am not sure if he is worth the compensation.

 

If the Bills pull the trigger for a 4th or 5th I won't hate it, but I'd still want to draft a WR high.

Pitt would eat the signing bonus, could possibly eat the roster bonus. $7 M for a vet is a bargain, but I'm kind of meh on him.

Yeah I honestly wouldn't want to give up a premium pick (nor do I think the Steelers can reasonably request one, since he's in the last year of his deal, wants out, and is coming off two lackluster seasons), and I wouldn't want it to preclude us from drafting a WR early.

If we could trade a 5th (we have three of them) for him AND still draft a WR in round 1 or 2? Sign me up all day, every day.

that’s key here. If Beane did this and then didn’t draft a WR early that’s a problem

This is the guy that doesn't block and pouts on the sideline. 

 

Zero percent he's a Buffalo Bill IMO.

[Warriorspikes51]

Dionate actually plays mostly the X
