QCity Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 He's a mediocre receiver at best, a bit of a head case, and is having difficultly getting playing time with a group of wideouts that rivals ours in terms of terribleness.

This team is in desperate need of help at the position and at this point of the season there isn't much to look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) 6 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Its not a popular place for a FA WR to go so I would try to trade for him vs try to sign him on the open market The Bills have roughly $8.14 mill available under the cap this year according to Spotrac. Matthews has a $5 mill base salary. If the Bills traded for him, say next week, after game four, they'd have to pay him $3.75 mill against the cap. I don't see this happening, as it would leave them too little for injury pickups. Not impossible, but not a fiscally conservative move, and those are the kind they seem determined to make this year. If the Titans do release him as he says they will, what kind of contract would he demand / sign? I'd guess he might demand a one-year contract for similar money and get it somewhere. Maybe the Bills could finagle a deal that would be cap-friendly this year but more costly the next few? Would they do that and cut into their cap windfall next year? I don't know, maybe if they really like the guy, but I don't see this happening. We'll see, I guess.

In that way we can add HIS half to Vontae's half and we got ourselves a FULL game before retirement and the world is right again!! Since Buffalo again has been the brunt of jokes....this time for a guy who retires at halftime, it would be clever to sign a guy but keep it hush hush....then trot him out after the half. He doesn't have to even play much....just give the media something to have fun with. Edited September 27, 2018 by The Process Sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 These Bills receivers are the worst group I can ever remember. Butter fingers, stone hands, and no hands describe this group.

Doc Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 7 hours ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: We will probably try out a 5th string D lineman or a Linebacker that can play special teams instead. We are trying to find out about a rookie Qb by giving him the worst WR group in recent NFL history. If there is any team in the league that should be aggressively pursuing WRs, it’s us. I just don’t expect it. What receivers signed within the past 3 weeks would have been your choice(s)? Gotta add guys who you think are worth it. 7 hours ago, PolishPrince said: I mean they "could" for sure... but if they are going to flat out release him, why not trade him for at least SOMETHING. I think the new tactic is tell the league you're going to release a guy and then wait for teams to come calling. 6 hours ago, Cruiserplayer said: Matthews dropped one of sixty six catchable balls last year.

Coach Tuesday Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The Bills should move a bit of money around to free up a few mil and sign Matthews and Kendall Wright - Revenge of the Titans, or something like that - but seriously those two would instantly make our passing game... passable.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Too bad. Walking out the way he did is a sign of weakness and lack of character. I finish every job contract I've had even when it means sacrificing my good for the good of the project or sacrificing for my team so they can move ahead. That's not "the process" and I don't think it will be welcomed here, especially after V Davis. Sad, because we could use him, especially if he's motivated.

I agree, but I also think this NFL is a different industry and really doesn’t reflect the real world. NFL owners commonly terminate player contracts well before they are over. So, a player should be able to do the same. That said, I won’t defend Vontae Davis. I don’t think a team has never cut a player during half-time. No player should ever quit during a game. That Davis did this makes me question Beane/McD’s ability to judge character. And Davis wasn’t the first player who got up and quit on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real world if you are given signing bonus (or moving expenses) you need to stay a certain period of time or need to repay it. Same thing as with mortgages with early exit clauses - I own mortgage and less than one year after purchaser bought property asked to be able to pay it back and I said sure, there is prepayment penalty. I was not just going to release and lose thousands of dollars. NFL players need to adjust to the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I would be all for it, like the guy said he’s been the leading pass catcher there for two years, was hurt in camp and they used it as an excuse to bench him and see what they have in the younger guys. I can see his point why he would want to be let go, he signed thinking he’s a starting receiver there, didn’t lose his job just had some preseason injuries to mend up. Then finding out you’re not even starting has to suck. We could use someone who WANTS to be out there earning their paycheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarg12 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Seeing the Patriots work out almost all FA receivers, I think they Bills should at least give him a look. The fact that he wants to be out on the field and getting stuff thrown to him is already an upgrade from KB's lackluster effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
