Shakir is a good receiver and he is an ascending player. But he is an inside slot guy. Yes he can play outside and he does get used that way, but he is most dangerous in the slot and the middle of the field. That limits his ceiling, honestly. Especially with the Bills, who do not have a high volume passing offense. Targets and touches are limited. He is young and ascending, though, so I think that gives him a bump and I'd put him ranked in the mid 20's somewhere. There would be more productive receivers below him in the ranking, but they are guys on the descent or who are productive because of their situation rather than raw ability.

They didn't even wear yellow helmets back then (just leather caps of some sort), so why go with the yellow helmets? They look terrible. They should have just done a black helmet with no logo. Or with that old Pirates logo or something. Just WAY too much yellow. Yellow needs to be an accent color if used, not the main color of anything. Gross.

They are 9th in the tweet you posted.

This is so dramatic and short sighted.

I'll go over, but I don't feel confident about it. It's hard to expect a career best year from an MVP.

The Bills just follow the market and contract trends.

Well, this was not the case. It is injury related.

He is a quality depth player, though. Don't want him as a starter, but he can rotate in and make some plays.

What!? The Bills don't have a top 10 receiver? You gotta be kidding me...

No, it is pretty much just Bills fans.

I call BS on the qualifiers thing. How would a former Jets assistant GM know Jackson's specific situation? I bet he was just saying that such a situation was not uncommon, not that it was specifically the case with Jackson.

Did they say this was the case with Jackson or just that this thing is common and COULD be the case?

Yeah, that was always the trade timeline. He wouldn't be traded until the suspensions are over, if it happens.

I predict they will both be demanding a trade a year or two from now.

We only need about $30 million more in cap space. Easy.

I personally think all of the ones with yellow pants suck, including, and especially, the new all yellows.

That's not gold. That's yellow.

Seems like a big risk. He should stay and play in the NFL and get over whatever gripes he and/or his agent have. Yes, the Bengals are tough to deal with, but come on...

I don't think there is any reason to believe that the Bills definately would have beaten the Bengals the next week. The Bills have not shown that they can handle the Bengals, and that was the best version of the Bengals.

I think the 2021 team was the best so far in the McDermott era. They had a really good defense that year and the offense was really good as well. I think Tre White was hurt that year, wasn't he? So at corner we had Dane Jackson and Levi Wallace starting, and the defense was still really good.

Agreed. Bridgewater can claim whatever he wants. Funds going to underage school children need to be accounted for and properly documented to make sure claims are actually accurate. For all we know, he could have been paying for alcohol and parties, or incentivizing their play with lavish rewards. There is a process for paying for all the things he claimed to pay for, and he didn't follow that process, so how do we know everything was kosher? We don't. And that's the problem.

He was probably paying for a lot more than that. That is just what he admitted to. I don't think they really know or care to know. They just wanted to get their narrative across.

Allen had a lot of fun moments that year. That week 17 game against Miami was awesome. He accounted for 5 TDs and showed he could be patient and work within the structure of the offense. That was the game I knew he had the potential to be something special (well, that with what he showed in other games that year).

Plus, he was probably doing more than he publicly admitted to.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy? Maybe he just broke the rules and got suspended for it.
