3rdand12 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 we all ? knew we were in dire need of upgrading across the WR line up. When he mentioned his expectations to be a #1 and semi blaming the Eagles for his poor performance last year was enough for me. Best wishes !

MrEpsYtown Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Larry Fitz has been playing the slot the last few years. Perhaps Mike McCoy is going to move him back outside and put Matthews in the slot? I think he is a good fit for the what they want to do and he will likely have a million catches playing with Fitzgerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Maybe now he'll sign for #2 money. Getting a #1 WR for #2 money is good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I think he's an excellent wide receiver and would be happy if he re-signed with us. I think he was hobbled for all of 2017. But something tells me there was a falling out of sorts between he and the coaching staff/front office. Not sure why I feel that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Major shade thrown here at Jordan Matthews. He’s a good WR but a #3 at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 He stinks and the market is proving that true. The Eagles had him as 4 on their depth chart and threw him in on the trade. He can’t separate at all. Remember when people here thought he was an “upgrade to Sammy?” One guy got 3 years $48M with $30M guaranteed and the other guy is sitting out there probably staring at a vet minimum deal. I guess NFL GMs are smarter than TBD. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad saying it because he seems like a nice guy. Sometimes though I like to say “ha ha I told you so.” It’s a fine line between celebrating being right and disparaging a seemingly good dude.

Captain Murica Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Doubt he'll even consider coming back here and I don't think the FO/Coaches really want him back due to the price he is probably commanding. Plus, I'm pretty sure we have enough possession wide receivers on the roster already. They rather have the cheaper option in Zay to play the slot.

It’s the EJ Manuel effect Matthews is a good guy and when healthy he is a good 3rd receiver for a team. He definitely is no number one receiver.

Chicken Boo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why do Bills fans hate Jordan Matthews? I don't get it. He was very productive in Philly and was injured last year. He also had to deal with Tyrod and a vanilla offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the 4th receiver for the Eagles and people actually believed that going from Watkins to Matthews was an upgrade!! He’s an okay slot guy but in no way should he have been thought of as an acceptable option as the top receiver. The Bills admitted that mistake about 8 weeks after us. They didn’t even wait the year out. Matthews seems like a nice guy and a smart guy. Shady likes him too. The idea that he was ever going to be more than a JAG though was woefully misguided. The Bills, to their credit though, tried to move on quickly by adding Benjamin. He’s limited too but is a better version of Matthews. The Bills still have a massive need at WR and some of that came from believing that Matthews was a viable option. The rest of it came from trading up for Zay (which I liked at the time). In hindsight, they should have tried to get Benjamin earlier and drafted Ju-Ju instead of Zay. That’s water under the bridge at this point though.
