I'd suspect they sign a mid-tier veteran (Fuller) or young, promising guy (Braxton Berrios)

Amazing that you'd make a claim of stupidity here... Beasely took 691 snaps in 2021 which is more than he had in 2020 and 3rd most in his career. Beasely was targeted 112 times in 2021 which is the most of his career. His yard/reception was the lowest of his career. His YAC was the lowest of his career. He had the fewest TDs (1) of his career (Rookie season when he didn't play excluded). His YPG puts him somewhere in 50th/60th among WRs. It seems that you want it to be about something other than football. Not the other way around.

given the draft failure rate of WRs, I think you're still off base. Using the '100 career' reception marker (a low bar), only ~25% of WRs in the 1st round are successful. So if there's 5-10 guys who *could* be developed to reach that mark (as you yourself say).. and those 5-10 guys are all drafted in the 1st round.. You're going to 1.25 to 2.5 guys reaching that level of success. Braxton Berrios reportedly returned down 5 million a year and believes he'll get much more. Many of you need to reset your minds on NFL player compensation. Of course, I'm being unfair here as McKenzie still needs 1 more reception to get to 100 for his career.

32 teams with only 5-10 guys coming out each year when there's say 2 positions for them to fill with an average career of less than 3 years... ... the math wouldn't be on your side in this equation.

I doubt this price has anything more to do with than the WR market. Robby Anderson is making over 14 mill a year for ~50 receptions and 500 yards. There's several other guys in that price range with similar stats. It's WR3 money. It has to be suspected that McKenzie will be WR3 whatever the contract.

I hope the biggest decisions you are responsible for is deciding whether to ask if someone wants fries with that.. ...scratch that. That might too big of one.

Not gonna get any news until the Bills cut him

..because we believe in using the Costanza method on you. It hasn't steered us wrong yet.

Cole was already gone. It has no bearing on it. Awesome deal for McKenzie considering what WRs are getting now.

He's pretty vague, but my assumption is that it's about dropping into coverage. It could be about more minute details, but given the prevalence of defensive ends dropping back in modern defenses.. it seems like a safe bet to me.

Their problem isn't that they didn't a contract done, it's that there's significant reasons to not get one done.. No way I'd give Baker a new contract. I'd be (and it seems like the Browns are..) looking for his replacement. Not only does their offense not count on throwing it.. when the game needs Baker to start throwing.. it doesn't end well. He can play well when the offense is moving through the running game. It's a lot easier to play QB when you're getting 5.0 ypc from your backs. I remain steadfast in my belief that having a middling QB is worse than a bad one because you can easily dump the bad one.

Awesome! Dogs are the best. I like people who take good care of their dogs.

oh.. the things I have put a dent in while drunk..

Why? They can cut him at any time. They gain nothing except making you feel better by doing it now.

People don't seem to grasp that the Bills meet and talk about a lot of players they may never trade for.. they need information even if they're not likely to actually make the deal so they can gauge the market on other players.

Why are these bait threads allowed? Why are posters like this not banned?

I unequivocally blame you. Karma is certainly punishing you for being so awful and the rest of us must suffer. ..for the love of all that's good.. bring back the buffalobills.com message board

The Legend of Robert Foster is greater than The Legend of Kiko Alonso

I don't think he's washed. I think his production is not commiserate with his salary, contract term and age. I'd rather put that money towards Jones or Ogbah. Mack and Ogbah average roughly the same amount of sacks. I'd rather overpay Ogbah at 20-25 per for the next 3 years than Mack at 20. Ogbah could actually raise his output and has been more consistent the last 3 years. While still very good, Mack is clearly trending down.

You do love your strawmen.

Hurt Beasely is the only Beasely anyone is getting now. He was hurt in the playoffs last season too. He's going to be 33 in about a month.

I fixed it for you.

no more little linebackers!!

Knox got the 20th most targets of a TE1 in the league. Sweeney got the 29th most targets of a TE2 in the league. If they want to change that... they need more than Knox (Engram or no Engram)

I doubt the Bills problem would be the trade compensation. It's the contract. He's nearly a 20 million a year cap hit for the next 3 years. He's 31 now so I'm not sure he doesn't qualify as geriatric. He had less sacks than Addison did in 2021 for that cap hit. I'd rather pay 22-26 million a year for a younger option if they want add a high cap hit player at the position.
