JP-era Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I have some favorites: Peter Warick TJ Housh Plax Burress (I say Hines is the #1) Anybody catch the north-south game? Damn Jerome Mathis looks good!!! I dont think this is a NEED but rather a would-be-nice. How sweet would it be to have a 2000 Rams like WR corp? Evans/Moulds/Burress WOWWWWWW!!!!!!!

The cap savings we'd get would allow us to re-sign Jennings, and maybe Pat Williams too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 He is an RFA and they'll keep him. Not so fast. He was a 7th round pick, meaning if they tender him at the lowest level, he only nets a 7th rounder in return. So that means they'd need to tender him at the 3rd round level, which is a pay increase to $1.3M. Will they do it? And furthermore will a team offer MORE than that to get him away from them? I'd give up a 3rd rounder for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's their best WR, they're not gonna let him walk. I don't know if I'd call him their best WR, and I think that Branch would be considered that, if he could stay healthy. Also the Pats don't like to pay their players much, and probably think that Givens is a product of the system. I could see Givens refuse to sign the tender and demand a huge payday, which would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Bobby Shaw, he was the best receiver two years ago (besides Moulds obviously) but really played well when EM was hurt. Or how about trying Price (useless in Altlanta) or Curtis Conway (useless everywhere). Or about one of those fast little white guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 depending on which of the two WR's you think is the #2 WR in Detroit: Roy Williams or Charles Rogers (healthy) or Arizona: Larry Fitzgerald or Anquan Boldin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The only WR you mentioned that would actually qualify as a 3rd WR is Peter Warrick. The rest are outrageous and would never settle for a third WR spot anywhere in the NFL. I'd keep an eye on Dane Looker myself...he'll come cheap, and is very productive when he has his chances. Alex Bannister from Seattle is interesting as well...Holmgren kept him out of the WR corps, despite Bannister's demand that he get some playing time...Bannister has great size (6'5 I believe) and had soft hands in college. Also made the Pro Bowl last year as the NFC Special Teams player. The Bills brought him in as a free agent visiter last year when he was a RFA. Might be worth a look.

MattyT Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 There are some really unrealistic names being thrown around here to play what essentially will be a 3rd WR. The Bills aren't in a comfortable enough spot under the cap for the kinds of players that are being mentioned. If we're extremely lucky... we might land Cedrick Wilson (SF) or Ronald Curry (Oak). Curry is wishful thinking because it looks like Porter wants out. IMO, more likely candidates include Lee Mays from Pitt (my personal choice), Kasper or Patten (NE), Troy Walters (Indy), or maybe a return performance from Bobby Shaw. - Houshmanzadahwhatever and Burress want to be #1s somewhere. It may not happen, but no way to they accept a third spot. - I don't see the young guys from Detroit or Arizona going anywhere. - The NE situation with Givens/Patten/Kasper is a tough one to call because you never know what is running through Belichick and Pioli's minds when they make roster choices.
