Sounds like Cleveland is taking his entire cap hit on, so this wouldn't have been feasible for us. Stay the course. Sign one of the 2nd or 3rd tier WRs and draft two more by the end of R4.

Looks like it. Almost $13M for his 5th year option salary. That’s why he was so cheap. I do think the Bills could handle that for a player they want though.

5th & 6th for Sutton I hope Beane hammers that

He’s more expensive than Jeudy though. His salary this season is $13.6M and $14M next so they Bills would have to really want him. I don’t love him as a player for the Bills. He’s a lot like Gabe Davis. He may get cut though, so there’s that.

I think Watson is in Operation Quiet Quit.  Just sit back, go through the motions and collect the checks with the "let's not get ourselves killed out there!" mentality.  I doubt he will ever play a full season for the Browns simply because he has no desire to do so.

 

I see this type of thing posted here a fair bit and it makes no sense to me. He’s been there two seasons and was suspended for almost all of the first. Then he broke his throwing shoulder last season while playing through an ankle injury. I get why people don’t like the guy, but not why they make stuff up about him.

Courtland Sutton is nothing like Gabe Davis imo

 

He's a legit NFL target w a much more polished skillset

[NeverOutNick]

Good riddance not the Denver WR I’d want anyways. Gladly give up a 5th and 6th for Sutton

[78thealltimegreat]

Of the two in Denver  I wanted Sutton more then Jeudy since he’s Gabe Davis with talent wonder what Denver would want maybe a 5th this year and 4th next year 

[Logic]

There was a time that I wanted the Bills to trade for Jeudy.

The acquisition of Kincaid and the emergence of Shakir and the emergence of the Bills' inability to generate explosive plays changed that.

I would now view Jeudy's skillset and what he provides to an offense as being redundant on our team. He doesn't provide what the Bills need to add to their receiving corps. He'd just be adding another short and intermediate threat who doesn't scare defenses deep. What the Bills NEED is someone who DOES threaten defenses deep, so that Diggs, Kincaid, and Shakir can eat underneath. Jeudy isn't that.

All of that said, I always liked him as a player and still think it's possible he becomes a 1,000 yard guy now that he's in a (presumably) better offense.

Interesting. He's been very underwhelming since he was drafted. Never had a 1,000 yard season. 

Well if he only had an actual QB throwing him the ball during his entire time in Denver?

I think Sutton is a much better version of the kind of WT Gabe is. He certainly has much better hands. Neither are good at quickly separating though - and that was the issue here with Gabe. If you need an X WR to threaten the sideline, then you can do a lot worse than Sutton, though he is not a burner (again, similar to Gabe on that). I just don’t see him as a great fit if we are going to stick with quicker hitting routes though.

I'm sure they'll do some restructuring and whatnot, but this trade puts Cleveland almost $5M over the cap. They are basically running it back, but with Jerry Jeudy and the molester under Center. 

[BruceVilanch]

I would take Shakir over jeudy.

The Browns can easily create a great deal of cap space. That’s a non-issue for them.

[Warriorspikes51]

make the call Beane!!

[gjv]

The Browns have an excellent coaching staff and playoff-caliber defense. I like this acquisition of Judy to make their offense more formidable. Would be fun to have a Lake Erie AFC Championship game next season.

[DJB]

He lacks toughness and shows he’s afraid to get hit .

 

It’s the one piece of my WR film evaluation I’ve changed to appreciate more ever since the Jeudy draft where I had him ranked so highly. 
 

Even Daniel Jeremiah has spoken about it recently in how he evaluates

Most of the first round receivers have been playing to or beyond their draft status. This one did not.  

[stuvian]

apparently one reason for his release was that he would only practice on Tuesdays

He’s not that good. Bad attitude problem too. 

 

 

Watson's not that good now. Now being the key word.

 

He was damn good for a couple of years, probably top seven or so.

 

Going forward, who knows. I loved the guy but I find him hard to root for now.

Not speaking of draft picks in particular, just signing re treads. Harty, sherfield, sanders, John brown (to some extent). Let's draft some good receivers. I'm not opposed to getting a guy in free agency or via trade, but I want a guy who can have an immediate impact. Sign a guy like D-Hop and I'll be excited. He can come in and immediately make a difference in the offense 

 

 

Don't have the money for D-Hop to be a smart pickup. 

 

And Sanders and Brown were good here, though both aged near the end. Brown very good for a couple of years, though the injury really curtailed that second season.

For some reason it feels like he was always on the Browns…
