Bills Sign WR Josh Palmer 3-$36M

[Kirby Jackson]

Feels like a decent signing. That’s a big number for him but he can hopefully help stretch the field. He has averaged over 15 YPC each of the last 2 years.

Go all in one way or the other.  Apathy will not be accepted here.

Okay, you got it. Be happy...or pissed.

I'm sure this will pan out as well as Beane's other FA WR signings

[Beast]

This is what happens because Coleman is still a big question mark. If they were more confident in Coleman I don’t see this happening.

Shakir

Coleman

Palmer

Samuel

Hollins?

Mid round pick

 

If you lock Cook up, and this offense will continue to be top 5 every year.

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

He'll fit right in.  LOL.

Everyone's been talking about him as a fit. Sal Cappaccio and Matthew Bove on their show. Joe Marino did as well on his Mock Offseason. 

 

12m per is more than I was expecting. But he obviously must have had a market.

Only $18M guaranteed.

So palmer will be asked to do exactly what they would have asked metcalf to do in this offense.  

 

Only he is going to do it at 12 a year for 3 years instead of 30 a year for 5 years.  

 

Also palmer I believe is a good locker room guy.

[CNYfan]

I wonder what Hollins will get?

[Process]

I'll be honest, $12M/yr seems kind of outrageous for a guy with these numbers.

 

I like the addition but I have no idea how he got that kind of dough.

38 reception for 584 yards. Canadian kid so he won't complain about the cold, but also typical Beane signing to me.

 

38 receptions for a team that had no superstar wide receivers is not really good.  We're paying 13 million per year for that. 

[Logic]

Woof.

I don't care about the money. As I said recently, there's no sense in reacting to contract terms when we don't actually know them yet.

But purely reacting to the player himself? Hard to get excited about a WR coming off back to back 580 yard seasons, who just had a HUGE opportunity in LA last year and didn't really seize it.

He's fine, I guess. Not a needle mover. Very much Just A Guy.

Now here come the same people that defended the Curtis Samuel signing last year to tell me how wrong I am...
 

[wppete]

Localish guy. I think he's from Toronto. I like this signing! 

[DJB]

I’m not happy. Overpaid for another mediocre WR just like we did with Samuel 

 

Why can’t we go out and get a real WR for Josh?
