They clearly don’t want alpha males in the WR room after the Diggs drama. 

Diggs was a Beta male on his best day, mostly just a whinny diva the rest of the time,

If Keon becomes what we hope he will this WR group is suddenly top 5 in the NFL 

 

Keon

Shakir 

Palmer 

Samuel 

 

That's pretty excellent.  

 

Expecting nothing real different from Coleman.  He's not someone you bank on to make your WR room good enough.  He's someone that if he develops, great.  But, he's not someone you base your assessment of the position on.  This team needs a WR1 with some speed and some explosiveness.  That skill set is not currently on the roster.  It's on Beane to find that guy via trade or the draft.  Then, if Coleman turns into something, that's what puts the WR position over the top.  But I am not going into this season with him as part of the corps I can count on.

Some of ya'll gotta do your research before you're talking ***** on here. Palmer ain't Chase but he checks every box for a boundary receiver, and for a value.

And why didn't the Chargers want him back for that amount?

Do we know that they didn’t? Idk why a guy in his position would pick LA over Buffalo even if it was a slight pay cut hypothetically.

It is what Beane and Co have decided.  They are elite at QB, very good at O-line and RB (and OC), above average at TE, and average at WR.

We were all expecting Beane to get an elite guy for Josh, kinda like expecting a Mercedes and given a Kia.

[Doc Brown]

A great sign here that Beane didn't accidentally oversleep today.

I think this deal might close the door on a Hollins return 

[YoloinOhio]

He’s fast af 

[buffblue]

I like it a lot. Palmer just makes plays period every time I've watched him. Still just 25 as well

[ChevyVanMiller]

The newest Buffalo Bills WR.

For all you pearl clutchers, $18 million guaranteed over 3 years is hardly an overpay for a WR.

I think it was a little bit of an overpay but to secure your guy on the first day of FA that’s what needed to be done.

 

He fills a need which is a guy who can serve as a pressure valve and win his one on one match when teams blitz.

he ran a 4.52 ? 

[Trust The Process]

Good grief. Vastly overpaid for just another guy.

Do Mercedes get a 5 year 60,000 mile warranty?  Enough said.

Bum,  unless he can play special teams and Josh can elevate him to be a WR threat.

 

I wouldn't say he's a bum. If he's your best outside WR it's very underwhelming and I've accepted that that is a real possibility for us this year. But he's better than say Mack Hollins in that role.

Got beat out as last year went on by Quentin Johnston who has some of the worst hands in the league.

 

Why is this a good signing?

What do you mean beat out? He had a calf injury and heel injury late in the season. 

[TheBrownBear]

I like this signing.  Young.  Decent size.  Good separator.  Not sure what happened last season in San Diego, but he has the potential to break out here (I hope).

[L Ron Burgundy]

Ok, guys that can separate is what we need.  This may be sneaky good.  Not in the tier of wr I was hoping for but with the prices this FA this might be best.
