Shakir can’t be happy this guy is making pretty much the same 

Dude is an inch taller and 20 pounds heavier

Can he run block?  I'm not joking.  I still want Hollins brought back

He definitely can.

I think Hollins is in his barefoot hobo part of life. Plays for a team for one season then wanders off to another random team the next year

Joe Marino was/is a big fan of this signing.

So were Louis Riddick and Dan Orlovsky, for what it's worth.  They compared him to Chris Olave and Chris Godwin as a route runner.  I like that kind of upside.

If Josh can communicate to Josh about throwing the ball in front of him, no matter what the first 10yds look like. He can be productive — think Josh Gordon, just put ball up and in front.

We will see what happens with Hollins. I want him back but he's a better fit here than most places. It still has to be a bargain deal

And clearly plays on the outside.

He's a good, not great player. Good fit for us. 

He's got Buffalo Bills DNA all over him

He should probably get a towel.

Their skill sets aren't even close.  Palmer is an X WR who can separate.  Shakir is a slot WR who is great at finding soft spots in zones and has great YAC ability.

First numbers released are by the agent. Let’s wait to see the details.  

[Freddie's Dead]

Yawn.

It doesn't sound like Palmer is the burner the Bills need, to take the top off the defense.  He actually sounds like a veteran version of Keon Coleman.  Not sure this is what the Bills really needed.  And $36M.  Good Lord, this makes the Samuel signing last year look frugal.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Is he better than Curtis Samuel? Bc all these pundits liked that signing last year, and... Pft... Nothing.

[NickelCity]

If he is really a separator (and durable) then I'm happy. Josh thrives with separators.

Now, somebody in Pegulaville tell Kevyn Adams that it is actually possible for a good player to choose Buffalo over palm trees if the product on the field/ice is good!  And if the Benjamin’s add up!!  Now, hopefully every signing from here on out is on the other side of the ball

[turbo044]

Well, he's young (25); reminds me of Gabe Davis with better separation.

Grew up in Southern Ontario.  Wonder if he was a Bills fan during that time?

He was committed too Syracuse before Tennessee flipped him before signing day.

People really need to learn to stop looking at the total dollars on all of these contracts. It's "funny money". The total guaranteed is $18M.
