Bills Sign WR Josh Palmer 3-$36M

[BobbyC81]

Ok, so Palmer is a young player.  However, DeMarcus Robinson with the Rams had similar stats as Palmer but scored 7 TDs vs 1 for Palmer.  Robinson started several games due to the injuries to Nacua and Kupp.  
 

Robinson signed with the Niners for 2 years/$9.75M.   Sure he’s 30 years old but that’s a big disparity from the 3 years/ $36M the Bills gave Palmer.

 

Mr Beane, Negotiation 101 awaits you.

The best way we can help the pass rush is probably to add a legitimate starting CB and hope McDermott has seen the light and will get these guys up on the LOS to prevent free releases and limit people's ability to get the ball out in 2 seconds. Adding Asante Samuel will be a quality step toward that goal.

Our CBs play way too far off the los. If we played press a lot more often it would stop Mahomes from getting the ball out so quickly. It would give our pass rush more time to get there too.

This is really my problem with Beane bringing him in

 

His body of work says he's a borderline starter that should get maybe 5 mil per year on a modest deal...not 3 for 36.

 

500 yards and one touchdown isn't a strong hand for an agent to play in negotiations, so why did Beane do something that was unlikely for any other team to do?

Still absurd money for a guy that lost his starting job to a guy with stone hands and had one TD on the season

When Maddy Glab said she had a personal relationship with Palmer from Tennessee....did your mind go to the same place as mine?

Free agency.  Guys always get overpaid.
