Yes Yes Yes!!!

 

I thought there was a really good chance the Bills could get him.  I’ve been pounding the table for him

 

He gets big time separation m, he is a man to man beater.

 

Im stoked about this one

I'm genuinely curious:

As a man-to-man beater who gets big time separation...why do you feel he didn't excel in what surely seemed to be a wide open wide receiver room in LA last season?

[The Wiz]

I'm guessing that this contract is probably going to look like 2yrs/20m or something like that when the numbers come out.

Wins outside consistently. Great routes, with size and hands. One of the best win rates in the league vs. man coverage. 

Looping this baxk to the point I made above: this seems like the kind of signing that makes Everyone Eats work better

[thenorthremembers]

Going to wait and see on this one.   Has decent hands and is still young.   Obviously not a signing that is going to blow anyone's socks off but you dont win games in March.

[Bruffalo]

That feels like a lot but he does fit a need. Analytics guys like him so maybe there's more there than meets the eye. 

 

I like that they're trying something, but I don't know how much this moves the needle. He is a separator though.

considered a boundary man coverage beater who gets good separation 

[Big Blitz]

We’re going to create DK in the aggregate.

Isn't it funny how the mediocre players don't ever care about the weather?

[gonzo1105]

Palmer is a boundary WR who can stretch the field and get open against man coverage. 12 million AAV is actually a very reasonable amount for the type of contracts going out for guys who are 25 years old

I think similar to the Bills, Harbaugh’s offense for whatever reason doesn’t feature boundary WR’s.

 

They like that possession sort of offense.  

[sven233]

Really nice piece.  Great route runner against man which is what we need.  He's got good size and decent speed.  Not the burner I want, but can win down the field.  Makes every route look the same which helps him win his one on one matchups.  While I don't want him as WR1, he should slot nicely in at WR2.  He was one of my top 3 targets in FA, so I am glad to see him come aboard. 

 

Now I want Beane to go out and trade for a WR1 and we will finally have some weapons around Allen we can feel confident in.

Marino had him at 2 years 10 mil 

[strive_for_five_guy]

Awesome.  Joe Marino sold me on this guy being what we need.  Let’s still get Mack back for depth, then draft a WR somewhere that makes sense as well.  Offense just about set for next season.

At least he can separate

I’ve been saying it for a month now, Buffalo’s approach to the WR position will be a MONEYBALL approach

Great question. I just asked the same thing on a different thread.

I can never keep track of any of these LAC receivers. They all look the exact same to me— lanky.
 

Does he have some speed? 

Decent size, decent speed. Not spectacular.

Palmer

Samuel

Hollins?

Mid round pick

 

If you lock Cook up, and this offense will continue to be top 5 every year.

A bunch of average to good (Shakir) all of which is infinitely propped up by having a generational QB

 

Once again it’s all up to Josh. We lack a difference maker at WR/TE

[LEBills]

He’s Ok. He had a lot of chances to be the guy in LA but always kind of settled into that WR2 or 3 role.

 

Keep drafting WRs early. Don’t let this and Samuel and Keon stop you from taking swings, Beane.

[MAJBobby]

Big time Separator hope he doesn’t get to Bills and all of the sudden gets blanketed
