Who is out at WR?   I would guess MVS.

Hasn't Shavers been dressing?

I recall the Bills-Cleveland game in Detroit in November 2022. The Bills couldn't cover him at all - he was just too quick and too sharp at getting in and out of breaks. He had 8 catches for 113 yards and 2 TDs.

Better than nothing.

They sent a 3rd for Cooper.  This is beyond terrible.

 

Dallas sent cooper two years ago to Cleveland for a fifth.

 

A 3rd round draft pick for a guy leading the league in drops who has questionable desire to play the game.

 

Just shoot me right now.  

You don't think, at the time, his 5-yr $100M extension with $60 guaranteed had anything to do with the compensation the Browns gave back?

Here is a huge bonus, He can help teach Coleman how to be a pro.  Take the kid under wing Cooper!

Not going to lie this is wayyy more than I thought it would take to get him. It does kill the excitement a bit but we had to do something. 

 

 

No way this is highway robbery. The bills have a 30 year old in his prime very good WR for under a $1M cap hit and no future guarantees and all it really cost them was a 3rd rounder???

3rd rounder due to Coopers low salary... there were only a couple of needle movers who Beane could fit into the cap, AC is one of them. Really like the fit as a true X who can now allow Coleman to play the #2 and move inside some and Shakiir to be the main slot. Fit is perfect.   

 

I also think Buffalo would get a future Comp pick if they don't resign Amari this year, which could easily end up being a 3.

LFFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGG

Aside from a bonafide target, the attention he garners will open things up a bit more for guys like Shakir and Kincaid

I’ll bet Beane took on his entire salary too just like the Jets! Ugh

Or, you could see it as a guy who has been stuck trying to catch passes from DeShaun Watson the past two seasons and would like to be on a winning team

 

A 3rd round pick is just about right when you don't have to pay the guy this year, and he's not under contract for next year either

he was on a winning team in Dallas after being traded from a lousy raiders team.  They dumped him for a fifth round pick because he didn't want to play hurt and didn't give it maximum effort.

 

Dallas basically kicked him off the team after he basically played half hearted in a playoff game vs SF two years ago.  The staff was livid and just wanted him out of the building.  He was on a team with Dak, Lamb and Gallup.  Played inside a dome.  

 

I just hope he doesn't show up in Buffalo and pout and all of a sudden turn up with some nagging injury.

[Dick_Cheney]

Omg it actually happened.

[KingBoots8]

I mentioned this earlier today as a possibility. I would like to think I willed this into existence.

 

 

….now I need Sidney Sweeney to deliver $50million USD to me wearing a bathrobe and nothing else…

Good move. Need a guy to defend the hail mary.

Would you rather stay the course and do nothing - he is getting thrown the ball from Watson while Dorsey calls the plays- not jumping over the moon or anything but it's definitely a weapon we didn't have and can help on the outside
