NoSaint Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I haven't followed reports on the group at all through the offseason but I'll say the WR group has been the one position that I sway the farthest on. One day it'll be - healthy sammy, really productive rookie, a good upside guy that has produced as a role player and some potential at 4-5 with a good TE on top The next: can Sammy and Clay stay healthy, because both have struggled and it's all question marks behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Is Arrington also a return guy BTW? This could have come right before the Taiwan Jones signing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Maybe a visible play to pressure Boldin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Streater, Watkins and Jones. Powell has good hands too. In general though they aren't very good. It seems like the Bills realize that. They are definitely looking. I thought that they lacked speed and Ellington would have checked that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Maybe a visible play to pressure Boldin There's no pressure on Boldin. It could be he decides to retire. He's had a long career, does he need to play another season and be separated from his family? Fact the Bills are slow playing things tells me Boldin is in control.

Jamie Nails Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Honestly I don't understand why this would pressure Boldin. There's only so long we can wait and adding WRs dimenishes our need for him. He has all the leverage, so making a play for decent caliber WRs shows we're not just going to sit back and let him dictate terms and conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, seeing them still looking hard at upgrades for all spots 2-5 has me feeling a little down on the group behind Sammy lately. It wouldn't take a ton to amp me back up a little though. Zay plays well and Holmes shows anything and if Sammy stays healthy and it's a respectable group quickly- none of those items being stretches either. There's only so long we can wait and adding WRs dimenishes our need for him. He has all the leverage, so making a play for decent caliber WRs shows we're not just going to sit back and let him dictate terms and conditions Well, with zero guarantee on Ellingtons contract we could claim him and cut him 5 mins later so it's not a ton of pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Speed guy, not much else I am sure wanted to put a claim in to push lower end of WR chart and maybe carve a return job out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Competition is good but how many do they need? Tate did very well last season, ranking in the top 10 in both punt and kickoff returns. They added Taiwan and wasn't T. White supposed to have been a good returner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Tate fan as a returner. It would be his job until further notice IMO. I think Ellington is there to push Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 @KMart_BN So much for that... #Jets waived WR Bruce Ellington with a failed physical designation and signed FB Algernon Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
