Fan in Chicago

I was scratching my head at this post But relieved after reading this one.

Too bad about Doyle. He served his purpose on the team well. Does this free up any cap $$?

No kidding . This thread has been totally hijacked.

I am sure he is a high ceiling guy

Are you seriously complaining that a Bills GM is getting media attention (positive)??

Good thinking but that is going to be a VERY interesting division. Imo, Vikings and Bears all added talent. WIth the Packers on the upswing and the Lions also having a good team, its going to become the AFCE version of the NFC. Providing of course that McCarthy and Williams are half way competent out of the gates. But they have ready receiving talent to help them along.

Come on guys. He seems like a good kid. Lets wish for his success (obligatory "except against the Bills"). The league is better with more good QBs and not fewer. It makes games more fun and the league as a whole more interesting.

It's quite strange but a single addition like Aiyuk, Metcalf or maybe Deebo Samuel immediately vaults the WR room to top 5

I certainly see @Captain Hindsight's name in a whole new light now

He is a veteran and doesn't need to be there to gel with his new QB /sarcasm

Ironic that you are saying this

Or just preparing for a trade with Seattle or SF 😁

His career has been underwhelming, he certainly does not have the "I didn't have a QB" excuse, his catch percent is Davis-esque. The concerns are very justified, no where near "zero sense". It is very much non-zero

You cannot be serious with this take. Marrone's choice of OC would have sunk that marriage. A rookie OC to pair with a rookie QB would have seriously hampered Allen's development and probably destroyed his career.

I read your post to be a general question about who I would want added. DK Metcalf

Last year, with the Titans, he had 75 catches for 1000+ yards, 7 TDs . Rumours of his career's demise are premature

At this point it is hope and speculation at best. But if @Einstein's Dog's numbers are even approximately correct , DHop is an acquirable target who can materially assist the team for this and next season with a manageable price tag. I would like a younger player like DK Metcalf or Aiyuk but it will be a large impact on cap for next few years which will again limit the ability to sign FAs in the coming seasons. Imo, Beane has learned his lessons on that . My guess is that if we are going to add anyone, go after DHop and slightly overpay from a draft pick perspective. That will provide a solid veteran presence , round off the skill set and allow time for Coleman to mature. We can always draft another WR high next year and keep the funnel full. Shavers, Claypool, Cephus, Hamler are dispensable. if we are going to limit the WR room to 6, the following is a good set DHop Samuel Shakir Coleman MVS One of Hollins and Shorter

Please dont say "ground up and in the freezer" in front of him

Coleman hasn't played a down yet. We all hope he plays well but there is no guarantee. And even if he is good, he is still a rookie. You may trust the WR room today, I don't.

So you totally ignored the fact that Hopkins is just 31 . For a RB that's the end of the road but not for a WR. Plus he posted a 1000 yard season on that Titans team. I don't know if the Titans will trade him but if they are willing, the Bills should get him. Gives him the opportunity to play another 2-3 years and ride away into the sunset with rings. Why are you freaking out about that ? Many, including me, believe that we need another good WR and the off season isn't done yet

Some players handle the off season very badly. I know I am supposed to wait for the facts to come out but two alleged incidents in a few weeks is not good

With the injuries and rotating door of players next to Oliver, it was tough for any DE to make an impact. If we have consistent pressure from the middle, I think we will see an excellent year from Rousseau and AJE. not sure yet how Von Miller will come back from injury

They don't have a good track record of reclamation projects esp at the WR position. Sure he can be cut but imo it's wasted effort. For someone who couldn't translate his abilities into performance with 2 teams, it is very unlikely that the Bills will succeed. And takes away coaching time on a plan with low chance of success.

He ended today with two TDs catches in 7-on-7 drills. Fit him for a gold jacket as soon as the over reactions one way or the other end

Not if he is vaccinated from you
