My bet is Seattle or San Diego or KC. His family is from the state of Washington. He is a good run game blocker, important to those teams.   He’s a shadow of his greatness but high character. I think the market will be soft for him like other older vet WRs. D-hop got a one year deal, he will likely get the same.

 

I'm just not sold on the notion he is a shadow. Over priced, getting old and not quite as good...high cap hit....sure. 

 

But the sample size of him sucking is very small.

Seems like this is our year for the one year deals.  Like playing slots, you are gambling with some of these guys, but if they outperform their norms and/or stay healthy when they haven't, there is the chance to score big.

Can never have enough good players.

 

why not have two slot players and one outside guy ??

 

 

You can only have 53 players. So Kupp wouldn’t be our top outside receivers because of Coleman and Palmer and at best he is our 3rd slot behind Shakir and Samuel. Maybe 2a/b with Samuel cause they’re both always hurt. Still, Samuel has more explosiveness at this point so I’ll stick with my guys. Kupp will end up in Seattle or NE to help depleted WR rooms and QBs who are good but need help. We don’t need him in Buffalo, especially at this point of his career, which is clearly declining.

He was 100% slot? He lined up on the outside 0% of the time?

Nobody does. But he is still a slot player.

The Bills need speed and they need it on a rookie contract, not Cooper Kupp. They should have drafted him instead of Zay Jones, but Jones was some coach’s kid and blah blah blah. Too late.

Zay Jones was no slouch those final 2 years of college for those Pirates…

he had what his final year? 150 receptions for 1700 yards?

 

 

That’s nutty production

If he came in healthy, he would light it up until he gets re injured. That’s probably how I see it for him this season, wherever he is.

Yeah I think he could be. He’s so fast, but he’s never been used as a straight line deep downfield guy, but he certainly could be. 

He’s played on 3 different teams now over a few years.  If he was capable as a deep receiver, I believe he would’ve been used that way already.
