YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Is this a player the Bills might consider trading for? Missed all of last season and current indefinitely suspended from the league. He meets with commish 3/28 and then reinstatement will be determined. I think the Steelers may consider moving on as their passing game didn't necessarily suffer without him and Ben seems to be disenchanted with his behavior. But he's a dynamic weapon and played with Sammy in college. If he has his **** together now it's a steal, but there is that variable. 2 years left on his 4th rd rookie deal (last year didn't count). Not sure what we would need to give up but maybe a 5th this year and 4th next or something. Obviously only if he's reinstated. Thoughts?

BuffaloSol Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yes, we need any help we can get at WR but, I wouldn't want to give up more than one pick for a guy that is on such thin ice with the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how the new coach approaches players like Bryant, seems like a no nonsense approach so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bryant as a player, but the question is will he keep it together? Also, has there been any rumors the Steelers are looking to part ways? If he makes one more mistake he's probably looking at a lifetime ban. I don't think I would want to part ways with anything other than a late round pick for him and the Steelers probably wouldn't do it.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I have a feeling that the steelers aren't ready to move on from him. He's good-- better than Watkins, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffAlone Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I like him alot. Good speed,good hands,good size. However,the year long suspension has to have some people in a tizzy. Regardless,with the Steelers losing Marcus Wheaton probably dictates his need at position for Pitt,so I can't see them trading him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I have a feeling that the steelers aren't ready to move on from him. He's good-- better than Watkins, IMO. There is a wiiiiiiiiiiiide gap between "good" and "better than Watkins". Bryant is somewhere in the middle of that gap. He is also addicted to pot. Major risk.

He is also addicted to pot. Major risk. People dont seem to understand how good Watkins is. His route running has improved to the point he may be one of the top 5 WRs in football. Problem is he played in an offense that didnt feature him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If Rex was still coaching then it would be a possibilityYou make a very interesting point, which has broader implications than just free agents. Will Whaley and company also be asked to stop taking chances on draft picks of questionable character? Karlos Williams comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt someone shows stats that there was a huge drop off in production when Bryant got suspended? I cant see the Bills going near him, they have so little at WR they are one of the teams least likely in the league to take a huge risk on a guy to not get suspended again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Martavis Bryant is a very talented guy, he can catch a pass with one hand and roll a blunt with the other. I have absolutely no problem with people who smoke weed but the NFL does. One more positive test for this kid and he'll be asking if you want to super size that as a career. I'd rather have someone you can rely on taking up a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 That was what came to my mind when reading the post. It will be interesting to see how the new coach approaches players like Bryant, seems like a no nonsense approach so far. Well Rex would put up with players like Martavis, whereas I believe McCoach would believe he can fix these guys. Same idea bringing a maligned highly skilled player to the team, but a different approach. Personally I realize Bryant is a great talent and would love to have a player with his skills, but I question his ability to grow the heck up.
