frostbitmic Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Jones could be a valuable back up but hasn't played much the last two years. Smoot would be a back up if he makes the team. He has 17 starts in 7 seasons, none in the last two years and 23.5 sacks. Claypool will probably Claypool and get his walking papers. Or he could surprise us. 1 Quote

I don’t think jones will beat out morrow or milano bernard dorian spector Morrow Eddy Jones thats how I see things anyway. Jones might be a PS guy smoot was pretty bad last season- if he can return to form, I suppose he can compete with for DT4-5 claypool- gamble on trait. I get it Jones at one point was far better than Spector ever will be. 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. Quote
H2o Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Now, me being a self-proclaimed Notre Dame homer, I don't mind this move at all. I banged the table for him back during that draft. His first couple seasons were solid when he had Big Ben chucking him the rock. After that, his ego kicked in and it's been a downward spiral ever since. Still, he's only 25, the talent has been on display previously, and there is hope for redemption. Hopefully it happens here. 1 Quote

NewEra Posted May 3 Posted May 3 2 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I don't think you bring in Hamler and Claypool if the plan is to say trade for DK Metcalf after June 1. Those aren't just camp bodies IMO, they're bets on upside. Not that I agree with the strategy but that's my guess. Id argue that they are “good choices for camp bodies” as opposed them being “bets on upside”. If we would’ve bet on them, we’d have placed a bet, aka given them gtd money. Hamler is 1 year 1M, no gtd looks like camp body to me. I’d bet claypool is similar but we’ll see. I’m sure McB is excited about the possible upside and that’s why they’re here…. But I don’t think it’s any more than that. Invite talented players to camp if they want to come here. 3 Quote

Well that's going to be the only way he succeeds this year. This will probably be his last chance to reboot his career. Quote

Kirby Jackson Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Just got a text from my buddy who is the Bears scout. I’m trying to post it but it’s too large. 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 3 Quote
JerseyBills Posted May 3 Posted May 3 put up numbers year 1 and 2, maybe he can have a rookie Gabe Davis type role Quote
RyanC883 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 can't hate it unless this is the only FA WR we get. by itself it's a great signing because it's extremely low risk/ and could be very high reward. Quote
GunnerBill Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Don't mind any of these guys actually as guys to compete for the backend jobs in those rooms. Smoot is the one I give the best chance of making the roster. But I see the sense in all 3 moves. 4 3 Quote
Mat68 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 The spring battle of Claypool and Shorter for the title of camp hero will be entertaining. Shorter has the age and draft capital but Claypool has the better nickname. Quote

Those aren't just camp bodies IMO, they're bets on upside. Not that I agree with the strategy but that's my guess. I’m not sure why there is so much focus on the WR room when it was obvious over the second half of last season that the Bills are becoming a run heavy team that throws mostly to its TEs and backs. How many catches did Diggs and Davis, their #1 and #2 WRs, even have the last 8 games of last season? And then they draft two more OL, a RB and a big, physical WR. That should be telling everyone something, IMO. Edited May 3 by vincec 2 1 1 Quote
