r00tabaga Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ragland probably feeling a little uncomfortable right about now. Yup. How funny would it be if Sammy signs here next year. Happens in hockey. Trade for assets and then rejoin a loaded roster. Jk- ain't happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hey, everybody's crying about a franchise quarterback. Well next year's draft we're loaded with picks! Sammy and Darby weren't going to play into the long-term plans and they had lots of value now. I think this is going to be a longer-term build and Beane and McDermott know what they want. Not going to be a fun year for us but hey let's see. This is a very Patriots-like thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast*eddie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Watkins is usually out most of the season injured . He was a part time player . No big deal getting rid of him . The folks that are most angry about this move are the ones that bought his Jersey ! I bet he will be on the injury list by the 3rd game of the season .

nucci Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 So when chandler jones gets traded coming off an excellent season, for a 2nd round pick - its a smart plan. but they win the Superbowl, so yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perk71 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Why was he gone? Because we don't want to pay him, but why? He's a STUD when healthy. Dumb He's rarely healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to be a fun year for us but hey let's see. This is a very Patriots-like thing to do. THIS. This shows long-term thinking, and an actual plan. How anyone could be opposed after the last 17 years is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Remember Sammy's comments about not getting paid enough and the 2014 draft class changing the pay structure of the NFL. I'm guessing Buffalo didn't want to pay $17M (or more) for a WR next year, when their QB is somewhat limited in his ability to get the ball to that WR (and I am a Tyrod fan, don't get me wrong). Plus like I said earlier, maybe he didn't fit the new culture. They want team first guys. Guys who put the team in front of themselves. I'm not sure that is who Sammy is. And McDermott did say he wants players who are available to play and that's one thing Sammy has not been... Maybe that ankle tweak scare pushed them to get this deal done sooner rather than later? If they had no intention of signing him, you have to get something for him when you can. I'm bummed, but I'm just trying to find ways to spin this. lol Edited August 11, 2017 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Why was he gone? Because we don't want to pay him, but why? He's a STUD when healthy. Dumb Until he gets hurt... Or he didn't want to play here anymore because he wants to go somewhere with a stud QB so he can get his targets, or he wanted way too much money.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 As I said earlier this year, if your going to tank then ducking tank. Get rid of Tyrod, Williams, McCoy. This makes 0 sense. Embrace it. Enjoy it. Nix TT for sure. Send Clay and Shady out too. Buh bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Guys, Sammy was fast and had good hands. We always would see flashes of what we hoped would be the future. Sammy could not stay healthy. Maybe now he can, i do not know. I like this approach. Beane has surely had some preliminary talks with Sammy's agent, and concluded that a deal was not likely. I like the decisive approach taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Tyrod has no one to throw to. Without Sammy Watkins, we have a rookie as a WR1/2 and a 37 year old vet as a WR 3/4. Both will be well covered. Our 17 years of misery continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
