His separation/td ratio?  😂 ffs man.

 

I’m sure it would amaze you if he ran a 4.39.

 

He’s a great separator.  He has great hands.  He can get deep.  He can get open 10-20 better than 90% of the league.  TDs totals are  tough to control as a WR

None of this is true, because if it was...he would have much better stats than  one TD and five hundred and some odd yards, and those numbers are pretty well established as his totals on a yearly basis

 

Beane did a bad deal here for a guy that we could easily replicate with a mid round WR in this draft

Holy overpay. Hope he breaks out with Allen instead of the overrated Justin Herbert. 

Looks like Beane needs to join Kevyn Adams and take a Negotiating 101 class.

We just make stuff up lol reading the board you would think he is chase lol

They likely won’t be using an NFL Draft day 1 or 2 pick on a WR now.

  I disagree….they should , with spoken out loud concerns over Coleman and Mack leaving 

[Maine-iac]

We lost two veterans in Cooper and Hollins.  Even if they draft someone I'm not surprised they signed someone like Palmer.  He's got potential.  I hope he's more Hollins than Sherfield.

What in the flying —— are the Bills doing? Curtis Samuel, Shakir, and Palmer are all inside guys. We need outside deep threats who possess speed. Give Allen a true #1 WR already! I’m tired of this crap!

Outside speed?  We already got it.  Let me introduce you to Keon Coleman

Palmer is a boundary receiver for the most part. What WR1 do you have in mind, because I don't see one out there that is available?

As far as I can tell he had a nice season  in 2022 catching 72 / 769 yards but a knee injury slowed Palmer's progress in 2023.  Looks

like he was more or less not a primary target with Harbaugh in 2024.

 

Palmer’s young and has showed promise and potential.  Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery.

yea a lot of question marks here. I thought he would really break out at some point but for a team with a good qb, previous WR success, and desperate need for a young wr to step up…. Somehow he did not. 
 

hopefully the reset sparks that in a way that the chargers did not

Dude I would have offered the Jags the same deal they received for Kirk.

Ok- none of this is true even though there are statistics that say they are true.  Many people who know football think it’s true.  Or maybe I should take the BeastMasters word for it

dear lord. I think everyone involved thinks even being hollins would be a monumental bust for a signing like this. Hopefully he’s a genuinely good starting wr

Prev. team: Chargers Age: 25 Ht: 6-1 Wt: 210

 

Palmer had a huge opportunity in 2024 but hurt his knee in training camp and never really snatched the chance. After so-so production, his season ended with a foot injury suffered in Week 17.

 

Palmer is still a well-rounded player. He is a good route runner at all three levels. He has good hands, particularly in contested-catch situations. He is a willing blocker. He does not have any elite traits, but he also does not have any glaring weaknesses in his game and should garner some interest as a third receiver.

 

How he fits

Palmer will instantly step into a top-four role in the Bills' receiver room as one of their best boundary receivers and might very well be one of their starting three, along with X-receiver Keon Coleman and slot receiver Khalil Shakir. Buffalo needed a player who could separate well enough in the intermediate to deep areas of the field, and that’s where Palmer’s skill set can help them the most.

Palmer is also going to turn 26 this season, a lot younger than Cooper who will be 31 and Hollins who will be 32. And I say this as someone who loved Mack and wanted him back. But you can't massively overpay a role player even if there is value in the locker room. 

[Old Coot]

I hope they still have enough money to pay Mack Hollins. He can't even afford to buy shoes.

Mack is gone to the Pats. Its a few threads down.

They can think whatever they want, but the proof is in the numbers that he has produced

 

What you said about him is simply ridiculous, and his play over numerous years is proof that it's ridiculous
