The offense they put out there last season was good enough to win a Super Bowl.  Josh elevates his WRs and having a great O-Line and a real running game will get the job done on that side of the ball again.

 

We need to build the defense this off season and that is where I hope Beane makes the big investments.

It was good for sure. But i also don't think we can count on the insane efficiency again.

 

I think Josh only had 8 turnovers? And something like he had the least negative plays ever by a starting QB in like 40 years?

 

Not to say they wont be good, but Thats a tough formula to replicate

I can’t open either of those!!!  Can he really separate? Is this refuting that? Not sure what the problem is……

Here..

 

Josh Palmer's separation score per FPD is 10th in the NFL and and his win rate is 5th among all WRs including the wild card round. Whoever signs Josh Palmer will be getting a gem.

What would Joe Burrows numbers look like if he had this receiving corps? 🤔

TBCH, Josh had the much better O-line though

At 18 million guaranteed for three years, this is likely very incentive based to reach 36 million 

 

We will see what kind of bonus they have in the contract but I can't imagine it being easily achievable bonuses unless he is performing

WR1 

I can't really express how happy I am with this move

This is the steal of FA

Palmer could turn into a true , elite WR1. Everytime i watch LA play he sticks out, just had a mediocre QB who had an awful OL. Watch,  there's obviously no guarantees but he definitely has those characteristics to be an elite outside guy and at 25 is just approaching his prime

Shhhhh, you're gonna upset the pitchfork crowd.

So a good route runner but not a burner at all.....looks like we wont have that on the outside....

 

Beane can still get one in the draft even though the Bills will probably focus on defense.

I am happy with this move.  There was not a big FA WR crop this year, and of what was available he ticks the boxes.  And I did not think a guy like Metcalf was worth as much as some did; would rather have our draft picks.

I am assuming Hollins will be back.

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

Those upcoming CTV FanDuel breaks hyping him will be so annoying if he doesn't pan out. So let's hope he does!

That's perfect for us. Field stretcher, with great analytics. This fits the Bills offense.

You don't stretch the field with a 4.52....this is an overpay to me.  1 td last year...yikes.  No bueno....

[GunnerBill]

Well it's something. It is a legit outside receiver with some speed. But he only had 500 odd yards on a team crying out for outside receivers in 2024. It's a baseline improvement. But it doesn't do much for the ceiling of this offense IMO.

Can we trade for CB Emerson and sign DT Laken Tomlinson next? Iykyk 😏

We would have had to do so from the beginning

Greg Roman offense don’t forget.

He almost has to be now...we're not keeping Curtis Samuel after this season.

If palmer is getting 12m yr I cant see any way they dont resign Cook. The optics of that would just be.... 🙃

I don't know why he only ran that at the Combine. But he has always looked like he plays quicker. I didn't have him as a super speedster but mid to late 4.4s is where I'd peg him.

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?

You mean a Greg Roman run offense ? W caveman Harbaugh ?

And the excuse in the Kellen Moore offense the year before?

There is no problem-  unless you’re a member of the sadness brigade.  
 

palmer is a great route runner with very good hands, solid in contested catches and is explosive on the top of his routes.  He knows how to stack DBs.  He’s also a solid blocker.  
 

He may have signed for more than many were thinking he would and he runs a 4.52 40.  Hence some people are sad.  
 

I know you and I are happy.  This offense isn’t currently built to have a superstar WR1.  We likely wouldn’t use that WR accordingly and it would be a waste of money/resources for a part time decoy.  I would’ve been happy with one, but the reality is, we don’t need one to have a great offense.  Palmer is more than capable of playing coopers role.
