IgotBILLStopay Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Clearly the WR FA market is overheated with the absurd deals for Robinson and Watkins. I am wondering what is happening on the Deonte Thompson front. Why havent we signed him yet? The guy bailed us out and was a difference maker in at least 2 wins last season. Not to mention his great play in the loss to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I like him but I think he is late second or third tier to teams.. I want him back. Edited March 13, 2018 by Buffalo Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) He’s a 2nd - 3rd tier FA. Those guys wait for the market to be established and then get signed. I would like him back as well. Edited March 13, 2018 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Eh Deonte did make some nice catches this past season for the Bills. I’m not opposed to bringing him back, but wouldn’t break the bank to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Almighty Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just offer him $200.00 an hour and get him signed already. Unless they want to upgrade then you gotta pony up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOboy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'd love to bring him back on a small 1 or 2 yr deal, maybe $3M in total. He made some plays, but I think ideally he's your #4 at best, behind Benjamin, Jones, and whoever they bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that? This is news to me. Maybe you're referring to the post where I said Sammy got the same YPG as Deonte Thompson despite being more talented.

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 No rush. Perhaps the Bills have their sights set on other FA options??? I like what he brings, but he isn't a game breaker, nor a bank breaker. If some team wants to pay more than market value, let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 well at a minimum he provides depth. I dont want KC signing him for 3-4 mill and we lose WR depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Because his spot on the team will be taken by a Speed WR. Maybe DJ Chark in the Draft. With Kelvin Benjamin, Zay Jones, and Andre Holmes (as well as Brandon Riley) - no need to spend the money. Especially since Tyrod's no longer here.

Punching Bag Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Maybe he is waiting to resign to Bills show their hand and what QB they are going to have. If he is looking a one year deal he may want more catches so he can get a higher contract next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
