Don Otreply Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I mean, is he any good? Or are we stroking ourselves…, asking for a friend, Quote

I personally believe it’ll be a stretch making playoffs this year. This is a replacement for Claypool. Taking a flier on a high-upaside veteran to round out the room and provide depth. 5 Quote

No, how does this move hurt? Simple question. My employers used to have posters up in the break room for stuff like this. 1 Quote

TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!!! Homerun of a signing!!!! And I actually thought that I couldn't love this group anymore than I did yesterday. But here we are. Quieter. Deeper. Harder. Don't forget younger, faster and bigger 1 Quote
Jauronimo Posted August 14 Posted August 14 (edited) 1 hour ago, BillsFanForever19 said: What would you prefer? A Big Trade ISN'T happening. So the list of perimeter WR's of note available at this point are Corey Davis, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Michael Thomas, Randall Cobb, Marquise Goodwin, or Martavis Bryant. Given the age and injury history with some on the list, you could argue Davis *is* the best FA option. If he signs and it doesn't work, they don't make the roster and we stick with what we have. I don't understand outrage over the possibility of adding options. If you're upset that we didn't do more before this, that's fair, but that ship has sailed. It shouldn't mean we don't try what we can do now. I am in no way upset or outraged. Edited August 14 by Jauronimo 1 Quote

I personally believe it’ll be a stretch making playoffs this year. Playing with this group of receivers in Madden is certainly challenging. But I think they'll be better than many think. It is a position we still need to invest in, but they'll still be decent. Josh Allen will elevate them. 3 1 Quote

thenorthremembers Posted August 14 Posted August 14 (edited) Id be more than happy to have him on the roster. That said, if they tried him out he likely was in a group of tryouts that included Byrd and Cain. He was a good widout in the league despite playing with bad quarterbacks. To be fair to the guy played through injuries and his brother passing away, the same brother who was here in 2015. He is still only 27 or 28 years old and would be cool to see if he still go a bit during the rest of the pre-season. Edited August 15 by thenorthremembers 2 1 Quote
