Laviska Shenault to the Bills

@GunnerBill is going to love this one😉

A draft day Fav of mine. Hasn’t really done ***** since entering the league though.

Feel it like it wasn’t that long ago I wanted the Bills to draft him. The fact it’s been 5 years already feels weird.

someone tell me if he’s still any good? I feel like I’ve seen him returning kicks recently and he’s pretty good at it.

[No_Matter_What]

Now this is interesting

 

I guess this is another low risk signing with possible upside.

 

Let's just hope that this doesn't prevent us from drafting WR early if an opportunity occurs.

 

Edit: Lol it doesn't. He has 96y last two seasons combined. Crazy it has already been 5 years since he was drafted.

This seems like a move to push Codrington in camp but who knows?

[Iiiiiiiiive Got a Feeeelin]

Chase Claypool reboot, other than the bad attitude as far as i know

[Mike in Horseheads]

Sounds like a France figure skater at the Olympics

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Only played one game last year. Assuming injured. Career YPC is 9.7. This year’s Claypool but hopefully turns out better.

He’s basically if Cordarelle Patterson never switched to RB and was also just much worse at playing football.

Beat me to it 😛

 

I see him as competition for Brandon Codrington more than anything else. If he proved to be a better Special Teamer, they'd prob keep him as a 6th WR and carry 5 CB's instead of it being the other way around last year. But more likely just a Cephus/Claypool type camp body like last year. A once big time prospect now looking for a Camp opportunity to prove himself somewhere. Far more likely to not stick then stick. Could possibly stick on the Practice Squad, as he did ending last year with Seattle.

Was he ever good?

 

That said, I like the signing.  Can't hurt to see what an ultra talented guy has in him and whether playing with Josh will help him.

He's not. Switches teams every year it seems. Dude was way overdrafted

[Aussie Joe]

Lot of pre draft hype here about him…

 

Not much since though …

[DrDawkinstein]

Chargers are the new Panthers?

 

Raiding bad teams is certainly a... strategy...

He’s significantly worse than Claypool

Codrington is better. Shenault has virtually zero chance of making the team imo

Agreed. But it's another Returner in Camp. Like I said, I see him as a camp body. He's very much in line with the kind of flyers we threw at guys like Claypool and Cephus last season.

Yes I don’t expect much here to be honest. I don’t think this is to push Codrington but I think he is a backup option to Ty Johnson as a KR if Cook decides to hold out that means Johnson will become an even bigger part of the offensive gameplan and won’t want him exposed on STs 

[SoonerBillsFan]

Gotta be a camp body
