Bag of Milk Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) I would take Jordan Mathews back on a extremely team friendly deal. That being said, if has to sign a prove it deal, I would think he would do it for a more pass heavy team. In reality Mathews and Zay are somewhat similar players and the Bills would be better off adding speed to complement the duo of Benjamin and Jones. Sammy Watkins? I kid, I kid...

947 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Mathews is absolutely NOT a fit for what we need. He is strictly a possession WR, best suited for the slot. We already have 2 possession guys, don't need a 3rd, what we need is a deep threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he had some medical issues that the Buffalo staff were able to find that Philly wasn't and he had surgery in Dec. to repair. Just curious what you guys thought. He was solid, if not spectacular, his other years in the league Why not? (Assuming by prove it deal you mean team friendly) No possible downside.

Captain Murica Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 He's going to get overpaid somewhere. His Agent and he will just chalk up this loss year due Philly's medical staff being incompetent and having Tyrod as his QB. He is a solid WR2/WR3. No way he'll be getting number one WR money, but to think he will considering coming back on a one year prove it at the age of 25 with 3 years of solid numbers and one down year is kind of insulting.

MJS Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Absolutely, but only if we have a QB to throw him the ball. If we field Tyrod I don't write care who we have at WR. Won't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Good character guy that fits McD's style. I would as long as the $ is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 When will football start doing what baseball is doing and stop paying exorbitant prices for overpriced commodities? If Matthews is healthy and reasonable, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like maybe Something around Robert Woods $6.7M cap hit on a shorter term deal. It would make more sense to throw a couple more million at S Watkins if he is open to a prove it deal.

BillsFan4 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1 hour ago, cba fan said: It would make more sense to throw a couple more million at S Watkins if he is open to a prove it deal. I agree. Watkins would be a better fit (on the field) as a speed receive playing the outside (since both Zay and Matthews are most comfortable in the slot) and Watkins is a more talented WR but I don't think there's much of any chance the Bills want him back, and I'd be surprised if Watkins has the Bills very high on his list either. From everything that came out after he left, it really sounds like his time in Buffalo was toxic - for him, his teammates and (previous) coaches. I would honestly be pretty surprised if McBeane wanted him back in the building. As far as realistic options go, Matthews on a short prove-it deal seems much more possible to me than Watkins coming back. Chances are probably high that neither of them will be back though.

You know there would be a whole thread about debating signing him if he didn't spend the first three years of his career here.
