This also makes more sense to me, especially because his season ending surgery last year was for an injury considered possibly career ending. I don't know if he's the 2023 version of himself again. If he is though he does have lots to offer.

The number I have seen for average annual in his next contract is 20+ if memory serves so at least this is consistent with what you say might be next years AAV for a 3rd.

I was missing something. He was out most of last year with a torn miniscus. Apparently it has healed. If he's back to his 2023 form the which year was something of a breakout then I can see the excitement. His highlight reel makes him look like James Cook.

I feel that given his skill set and his current 1 year deal Shaheed makes a lot of sense and could be useful to the Bills O and special teams. . Thing is if the Saints just let him walk they are likely getting a 3rd as comp, albeit in 2027. Given that our 3rd would be relatively late in the round I doubt that the Saints would take less. I get it that the guy is pretty much in his prime and appears to be an asset with traits that should attract the Bills, but I really don't have a view on just how good he might be. His receiving yardage totals for the last two years are pretty insignificant. What has he been doing? Where is he on their depth chart? Pretty low I would expect. On the other hand I've seen some speculation on the contract he could expect in free agency and the numbers appear very large for a guy who really hasn't done that much. Maybe I'm missing something.

Yeah. It's like they just don't know WRs. Some other teams do so much better in drafting, coaching up and signing wideouts. A team like Pittsburgh, even acknowledging the whack jobs.

Yeah I don't follow Titans so I don't know whether there is any evidence that Ridley's play is in decline. Cooper was injured when he came to the Bills. Maybe Ridley's contract would be a problem but his compensation given how #1 WRs get paid today is probably not unreasonable. If the Bills can't create the necessary cap space what with all the extensions then they simply cannot afford a #1 receiver or reasonable facsimile. The hole Beane dug himself is too deep.

He did not want to play in this offence, where everybody eats. If they hadn't changed the scheme on O he'd likely still be here. Looks like there is no substitute for talent. Who would have thought.

Some think Ridley is the Bill's target. He is out with a hammy right now. He's got another 2 1/2 years left on his current contract and he's been paid so there's a cap issue. He is 30 years old. It's reasonable to think that Titans might trade him.

A frightening thought. Taylor could be MVP.

AJ Brown is a stud but the reason he might be available is that he doesn't feel that he's getting enuf targets and its creating friction with his QB and OC. With Saquon they feel they are best served as a run first team in spite of having pro bowl calibre wideouts and a good O-line. If he's not happy in Philly I don't think he'd be happy working within Brady's current system. We have Cook and we too are a run first team. Somehow I don't think that is changing. Diggs was a casualty of that approach. Having to part ways with him didn't stop them from going there. Brown in a Bills uniform could just be a repeat of the Diggs drama. Top end receivers usually dont want to play small ball.

Herbert lol

Daniel Jones lighting it up.

Sure but that's also because he's a good receiver. Somebody will be paying him 20+ next year.

Agree on Coleman. Shaheen was targeted like maybe 4 times this afternoon. All incomplete except for a pick. But it's Rattler throwing him the ball.

His concussion history stretches back to his college days. So it is, and is likely to remain, an issue. Obviously if they trade for a WR who can help them they would have to create the cap space this year and next. Not an expert but I think they should be able to do that. Actually I suspect they have to do it.

Olave is a very good WR. Hard to know for sure whether he's a legit #1 but given the QBs he's had to play with the argument can certainly be made. The discount, if there is one, is because of his 5 concussions. if you can't afford Olave you just can't afford a #1 receiver.

No way a first. If they move him it will be for a second and change imo.

Can't believe it. Tremaine is getting sacks and picks.

They just paid Tua. They are in Browns land.

He was the only player to attend a player's only meeting lol.

If you want an offence that good you need a new HC.

Olave strikes again.

Like maybe it will stop being a concern?

Yeah the Saints themselves would probably get a compensatory 3rd for him if they just let him walk. So you would likely have to offer more. A 3rd and change.Tough. I see Olave maybe going for a second and change and that would be a better deal for us I think.

Brandin Cooks lol
