Dude can still play, but he's not someone I am focused on.  I want guys that a younger and have the potential to be more explosive for longer.

 

I don't know if the Jets are going full on rebuild, but if they are open to it, I would love to see Beane try to pry Garrett Wilson out of there.  If he's not an option, I want to see what someone like Olave would cost to trade for.  But these are the guys that I want to focus on.  Speed, elite route running that can beat man coverage, and guys that can stretch the field.

I’m with you Sven.  I’m not interested in a 32 yr. Old WR, even if he played well in 2024, because he will fall off a cliff at some point.  Metcalf is a different story.  I’m still most interested in Garrett.

I'd call him and I'd definitely be happy to add him. But I don't see him as a fit.

 

It seems his wants are to play on the West Coast and/or play with Aaron Rodgers again. He also doesn't seem like the kind of guy Beane would want, given his sideline antics in Las Vegas when he wanted out. He's also trashed the Buffalo fan base in the past. 

 

Given all of that, I'd be shocked if he ended up a Bill. But i'd be here for it.

 

 

Considering he is coming off a 28m annual contract and before that a 20m annual contract - absolutely not. He's not getting either of those, but he's not going all the way down to 8m.

Possibly New Orleans with buddy Derek Carr.

 

Actually , I don’t think he fits Bills culture.   I recall an interview last season where he said something like he didn’t care if his team won or lost as long as he could contribute.    Reading between the lines, did that mean that as long as he got his stats, he was happy?

 

Culture? 

 

"sideline antics" on a previous team have never bothered Beane much before.

They were talking this morning on Sirius about his release and bet he follows Aaron Rogers to either New York Giants if he goes there. They joked about him following him back to the Raiders and how it’s like a spurned ex who’s moved on and got better. 
 

The talks are they probably wouldn’t allow that to happen unless extremely team friendly, so the other option/s that are being thrown around is a return to his hometown of Los Angeles via a Rams or Chargers signing. 
 

Will be interesting to see what happens as he is probably well above the quality he showed after signing with the Jets last season.

He needs to actually do something for himself. Sticking with Derek Carr and a declining Aaron Rodgers is doing nothing but hurting his career

Oh I’m with you bro, hence the point he’s above the quality he showed with the Jets. 
 

I think he’d have awesome numbers with Stafford in LA as he immediately takes the Kupp targets/role. Herbert? I think you’d be doing a disservice to the performance of McConkey last year as Adams has seen some of his best work bouncing in and out of the slot. Exactly like Ladd. 
 

Either way, yes. Following his buddies in the hope of greener pastures shouldn’t be his hat stand. A contender or somewhere that can accentuate his strengths is the smarter option.
