Bills choose not to tender Morris

[Charles Romes]

So much better than most third TEs in the league 

[Kirby Jackson]

This was always happening. The lowest tender was $3.3M. Draft someone in the mid to late rounds.

Davidson has serious receiving potential as well. Possible enough potential that the wheelin n dealin could include Kincaid or Knox. Morris would then be invited back around vet minimum. Off-season thoughts and wonders at work 😂😆🤣

[Doc Brown]

Mighty suspicious this move happens right after the Devante Adams news breaks.

Call me nuts, but I think Morris is going to get more than that.

The tender number is too high for him....

They have Davidson. question is, can he block at all to fill the blocking TE role.   Probably for the Bills less important as Anderson as the 6th OL fills the blocking TE role.  Knox also has become a pretty good blocker too and if they resign Hollins, he also is a very good blocker.

Morris biggest role is special teams and he is good at it.

 

I imagine they get a deal done with him.  This is a tough year to be a fringe tight end on a roster.  Good players in the draft and teams always want to get younger at those depth positions.

 

Having said that I do think they will make a deal with him.  He has shown he can play well on offense when given the chance and is a special teams player that is very good.

Or just bring him back for less than $3M, which is most likely what will happen.

Not worth wasting a draft pick when we can just bring him back for less than $3M, but still at a number which is more than any of us will make next year.

 

I agree I think they'll get something done. For what he'll get paid anywhere else, he's best off in Buffalo being a part of Josh's offense.

I'm guessing he still winds up back with the Bills, BUT...

It also might just be Zach Davidson SZN 🚀

Maybe a little more. But not the 3.3 the tender would require.

Draft one. It’s supposed to be a strong TE draft. Good role player, but 3 million is a lot.

We have 8 draft picks- we have to draft more players than DT-DE-CB-S.  Draft is loaded at RB and TE

I think they like Davidson and he has potential.

Yep, these are the kind of guys that you let go. Even if he’s $2M that’s too much. He’s a 3rd TE. Davidson is 1/2 of that. You can draft one later as well. Don’t pay for role players anymore that can be easily replaced. He’s fine but you should cycle through guys like Morris or Neal or Matakevich or Jordan Phillips, etc…

I like Q. Might be a borderline starter on a TE deficient team. I’m surprised he doesn’t want to move somewhere that gives him the opportunity for more offensive snaps

Chris Brown said  last week we had either 11 or 12 picks, depending on the comp pick situation.

2 DTs

2 DEs

2 CBs

1 Safety

1 WR

 

Done. No need to waste picks on RB (we still have Gore on the PS) or even TE.

He re-signed last year at $985k. We should be able to bring him back around there. Anything less than $1.5M is a no-brainer and save those draft assets for where we need them because we arent going to get DEs or DTs at that rate.

I hope so. I think the kid deserves a shot.
