Chicken Boo Posted May 3 Posted May 3 This might be Claypool's last shot in the league, so I expect him to give it his all. I like the signing. 1 3 Quote

I separated them due to being on the team last season. I thought he play relatively well last year and would give him the nod over Jones at this point. Jmo I think Jones and Spector are battling for the Matekavic role. Special teams but offer something on defense in coverage if needed. Quote

Odell Beckham Jr signs with a team that already employs Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, and just drafted Malik Washington. The Bills sign...Chase Claypool and Quintez Cephus. I'm sure I'll get a few thumbs down and eyeroll emojis for pointing out the wildly uninspiring way in which the Bills are approaching the wide receiver position. Whatever. Pour me a ***** shot. I'd take the upside Claypool has over Beckham who's much older and been coming back from injuries, both have had attitude issues one is 6 years older than the other. I mean the thing I like about this is Claypool showed his talent with the Steelers and Big Ben but then things went south. He's facing falling out the league without having even gotten a big second contract anywhere. This is exactly the kind of situation where you can find a guy trying to rebuild himself coming to a team with a great culture to do it. 2 Quote

At any rate, it is Schefter’s post about the signing and then: him: 🥴 me: gross him: he’s been a locker room cancer everywhere that he’s been take it fwiw Yup. Quote

I do not see any difference in any name on this list. All of them put up numbers 2 to 3 years ago. Picking the younger guys inspires some hope they could reach those numbers again. Post draft FA signings are all similar unless its a real deal with real guaranteed money like Flloyd last season. 1 Quote

Proven obj over a terrible football player with zero Iq all day. There’s a reason one was paid what he was while the other was paid what he was. One is valued. One is not 1 Quote
dpberr Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Sure. I think sometimes these signings are more of favors to agents. You can't coach attitude and work ethic. Quote

Claypool is in a tier of his own. He’s the only one that was eligible to play and healthy, but wasn’t given playing time because he sucks and can’t stop committing mental error. 1 Quote

Nothing wrong with what you say here. If you think of Kincaid as our default 1, with Knox as the traditional TE and then Coleman, Samuel and Shakir as WR2’s, you can reasonably talk yourself off the ledge, but it’s a lot of projection. On the bright side, we have a better OL than teams like the Jets, Fins and Titans. Quote

Also Miami had him switch to TE mid season after signing him. This is the best opportunity he’s had. An interesting side story is Trubisky was part of the Steelers when Claypool was traded. I’m guessing he gave a positive review of him. Edited May 3 by Buffalo_Stampede Quote

That may not be the case now but I don't see how Spector is a lock for the 53. I doubt Smoot makes the 53. Camp body so Miller can rest. Honestly, Smoot may be one of the better run defending DEs after Groot and AJ. 3 Quote
