The Jokeman

Easily Fitz.

Gabe was well liked by team as evident him being in town for Micah Hydes charity game. That said with us limited on cap money and targets I can see him going elsewhere. Cleveland needs serious help at WR and am sure plenty of cap room. The Giants make sense for a Daboll reunion if looking for a quick one year deal.

Chiefs for sure. Since Conference game and all.

Oh I agree Pickens has the making of a good to great WR. More upside than Moore for sure.

Look at what premier WRs are making lately. Crazy money. Didn't Elijah Moore just state this in his welcome to Buffalo press conference?

I'm not sure if it's dumb or just obscure what it's trying to say ..

Ideally we'd have the 1999 Bills defense and the 1990 Bills offense yet in these days of the salary cap it likely won't happen. To me if our defense can hold teams below 20 points a game we should be able to win almost any game unless the offense has a major disaster or unsurmountable injuries .

and they might be moving on from Mark Andrews, who an important part of their passing game. Sure he dropped the critical 2 point conversion against us but he still a critical cog of that offense. I think it be a mistake if they move on from him but am all for it as a Bills fan.

How do we know Palmer is a top 2 until the guys play. Same thing with Coleman improving, we don't know if will. Until I see something I really can't say what to expect but like to stay positive as figure with Samuel not having turf toe he should perform better. Palmer to me has to be better than the (injured) Cooper we saw. Palmer should be an improvement over Mack Hollins and Shakir to me only starting to show how good he can be. Toss in Kincaid being healthy in my opinion our 2nd best receiving threat behind Shakir.

Curtis Samuel when healthy has proven he can be a good #2 WR in this league, he seems to be forgotten or ignored as a WR on this team. Josh Palmer is a proven #3. The book on Coleman is open as will he improve or show what he showed pre-injury where he was producing at the same pace as Worthy was in terms of yardage. The problem is with the Bills not having a pure #1 is there's no outstanding stat guy but if you look at our guys the disparity between our top producer and say 3rd producer as significantly different than other teams. I mean even though the stats weren't there I'd argue the 2024 WRs were better as a collective than the 2023 version. Despite not having Diggs' greats stats.

That or we try and trade AJE in the preseason or before the trade deadline. Before the draft McDermott mentioned that LarryO be used as a 3tech behind Ed. I fully expect us to keep Jones to play on 1st and 2nd downs and Sanders on 3rd/obvious passing downs. In terms of after suspension it going to be a tough decision unless some guys end up injured or we've moved on from them early.

Instead they claim scrubs like Dionte Johnson off waivers hoping to get a compensation pick back or sign guys DHop who couldn't even be a good WR2 for a Chiefs team with no good WR outside a rookie Xavier Worthy.

He hasn't down much the last three seasons but his 2021 season looks nice when he got 11 starts and put up 698 yards and was a teammate of Josh Palmer at UT. Draft writeup also indicates he could be a punt returner/occasional speed threat. To me he's worth a shot if we can't get Elijah Moore.

Too bad Jack Pardee isn't around anymore maybe we can find out where June Jones is.

I think Dorian Strong is going to be one of under the wire/sneaky good draft picks. He seems to exude what the Bills like and with way we do with low drafted CBs I wouldn't be shocked if he replaces J'Marcus Ingram this year and eventually replaces Taron Johnson.

I think I saw Meacham with Bryant Johnson and George Siefert's ghost at a bar in the airport.

Yet that changes the complexion of the game, just because we score more doesn't guarantee the defense doesn't let up more. As if we're paying the better WR we're likely sacrificing spending more on a defender which weakens a defense etc.

and signed to the PS and be an emergency call up if injuries start.

Cuz those WRs could play defense and avoid the Chiefs from scoring 27 points in 2023 and 32 in 2024? Clamor all you want be Beane's point was that our offense was the league's best at scoring points last year and even if we improved it we very wouldn't have made a difference because our defense wasn't up to par.

You also forgot the 3rd and 6th the Chiefs gave up for Kadarius Toney.

I read it he can sign with any team at any amount before July 22. Some may say he'd be foolish to pass on signing for less than the tender but if he doesn't like the Browns QBs and feels can produce more here he might take less money in hopes to produce to earn bigger money down the road. At only 25 it makes sense as still could get a big pay day if has a career year.

I voted for LB as I don't like our depth at all and Milano can never stay healthy lately. Bernard is good but again nobody behind him.

Palmer over priced? Check https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/player/_/year/2025/position/wr/sort/contract_average Palmer had 39 catches for 584 last year and the 34th highest paid WR at $9.67m By comparison some in his range Tutu Atwell 42 562 getting $10m Dyami Brown 30 308 getting $10m Allen Lazard 37 530 getting $11m Gabe Davis 20 239 getting $13m
