Bills Sign WR Josh Palmer 3-$36M

[Big Blitz]

If Keon becomes what we hope he will this WR group is suddenly top 5 in the NFL 

 

Keon

Shakir 

Palmer 

Samuel 

 

That's pretty excellent.

At least he can separate

sleepy beane at it again rolled out of bed and gave a rando WR 33 million

[JoshAllin]

I was a little scared reading the twitter comments of him having "no hands" but looks like he definitely is not a gabe 2.0

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

And why didn't the Chargers want him back for that amount?

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?

Herbert is overrated and they had a lot of guys who were pretty similar in caliber to Palmer, I'd say. So the opportunities were spread around a lot.

10th out of  160 WR's in route win rate

I am really interested to see where Darius Slayton goes and for how much.  I figured they wouldn't want him but I was hoping.

Marino had him at 2 years 10 mil 

 

I mean Dyami Brown just got $10M.

[ExWNYer]

For all you pearl clutchers, $18 million guaranteed over 3 years is hardly an overpay for a WR.

[stlbills13]

Palmer can play. The only concern is that he'll likely be miscast in the #1 boundary WR role and face a lot of top CB's. Coleman has to take the next step. That's been the key no matter what. I'd still go out and get some sort of speedster in the draft

Only had one drop I read somewhere

[Bruffalo]

If you put it into context with how much Gabe Davis got last year, then this deal looks better. 

 

 

I'd rather have Palmer than Davis any day.

Got beat out as last year went on by Quentin Johnston who has some of the worst hands in the league.

 

Why is this a good signing?

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

It is what Beane and Co have decided.  They are elite at QB, very good at O-line and RB (and OC), above average at TE, and average at WR.

Oh man, I was going to post this is who the Bills would target yesterday! I would have looked like a fortune teller 😅

Except that I figured they'd target him because he would be a cheap option. I thought an offer would be 3 years for $12M total. Right now this looks like a crazy overpay unless they know something he hasn't put up ont he stat sheet.

What stopped you?

[Process]

Bills now have an $8M WR, $12M WR, $15M WR and a recent 2nd round pick at WR. 

 

Makes me think they aren't spending big resources on the 5th guy.

Because the free agent options are slim pickings, we pick at the very end of the draft, stud WR's don't get traded unless they're getting a mammoth contract to go with it, and he still upgrades the WR room.
