Golden Tate, please. 

 

Golden is my #1 FA WR target. Great hands. League leading RAC. A true baller of the highest order.  With at least 1 SB win would be a great influence and example for the rest of our WRs.  Would look great in a Bills suit.

 

Please. Pretty please.

Prefer Golden Staph.

 

He is too old to pay the bucks required.. 

 

He'll be 31 on opening day.  For a WR that's not too old. Did you see today's game?  IMHO we need to bring in some smart good hands vets to help Josh develop AND help us win. How far do we want to kick the can down the road?  Cap's straightened out, it's time to win.  You get what you pay for.

 

Gheez, I'd probably take Chris Burkett over Golden Staph.

And how much do you want to pay for him?

Another guy not playing is Alex Lewis of Baltimore. He's being replaced by James Hurst who is among some pretty good guaranteed money and Orlando Brown is at right tackle. They also have Bozeman. Lewis has been hurt quite a bit, but good when he is in there.  He's got one year left on his rookie deal, I'd call the Ravens and see is he is available, as he doesn't really have a spot anymore. Could play either guard and could probably play center as well. Worth a late round pick for sure. 

 

Alex Lewis once took an Air Force cadet by the head and drove him into a brick wall repeatedly until he was unconscious.

 

But, respect the troops and all that.

Honestly I don't know. I don't handle the Bills finances, understand the salary cap, and I'm a football ? fan, not an accounting fan.  We DO have 90 mil or so I've heard many times.

 

I just know the QB we traded several good players and trade up substantial draft capitol on wasn't able to do as much to develop throwing to schmucks with bad hands. That needs to change.  I think Golden with his talent, history of winning and drive to succeed is just what the doctor ordered.

 

As i see it, we need to bring in 2, preferably 3 guys that are better than what we have.

 

Look at the guys that Luck, Foles, Dak, Watson, Rivers, and  Russel were throwing to this weekend. If we want to  compete we need that too.

 

How much would you say is too much?

I’m all for providing the QB we gave up so much for with some quality assets..

 

I would be looking across both Draft and FA..

 

My thoughts..

 

I think Golden Staph will be signing for $11M per year somewhere else..

 

I Prefer a younger model..perhaps

Tyrell Williams for same yearly money and an extra year or two?

 

Also get Josh a TE from somewhere.. 

 

Then  use four of our picks on another  TE, RB and WR( x2)

It was a terrible situation. It was one of those drunken rages, and the guy he assaulted opened to be a cadet. Bug I think Beane and McDermott are willing to take chances on guys with this type of sitauation. It happened a long time ago. They just signed Duke Williams, and Dion Dawkins had so sort of testsorone rage arrest as well. 

 

Anyways I was saying the Alex Lewis could be a guy available for trade this offseason, and he's played well when healthy. I think our front office will be open to being creative to improve the line....it doesn't just have to be through free agency and the draft.

Golden Tate ..... experienced winner.

Gets open with 3.0 yards separation, excellent hands, always good RAC, very good blocker and based on Detroit player comments, hard worker & a solid guy in the locker room.

Doesn’t separate much anymore but he still has good hands. The problem with signing Tate is not year 1, it’s the 2nd and 3rd years of the deal he is going to want. He will be a liability before long. 

 

Heck, before yesterday Philly Fans were already complaining of the trade because his lack of production.

I tried to spend a lot of time watching tyrell since soooooo many on here are high on signing him. I didn’t see anything very good at all. He was constantly jammed at the line and couldn’t seem to get around it, dropped one good ball thrown to him. Not sure where the hype came from maybe it was just a bad game. I’m not sold that he should be priority 1 in free agency for receivers. I’m still hopeful for some form of trade or a release like desean Jackson or something similar. 

I kinda feel if we are hoping Williams or Funchess is signing to help fix our issue at receiver we are gonna be highly disappointed next season. 

I think a rookie drafted is a given but still need some form of veteran leadership signed in free agency. I’m not a fan of Tate but given the other options he may be the most logical choice

The 3.0 yards is from this year, which puts him in a group that includes Beckham, JuJu Smith Schuster, Robert Woods.  As an internal team reference, Robert Foster is at 2.7.

Maybe he wasn't quite in synch yet with Foles but we know from this forum, that fans complain as a hobby.

 

Hard to say for contract $$ or when he'll start to fall off, but Steve Smith was effective when he was in his mid-30's.

Tate has hardly ever been injured enough to make him sit, so he might be healthy for a few more years.

 

I just think it would be good to have a guy on a young team that doesn't need to be 'coached up' -- or-- kicked in the ass to work hard.

Tyrell Williams is this years Bryant Johnson.. People on here are clamoring for him for some strange reason and he’ll get overpaid somewhere and flop.  People here will cry their eyes out if he doesn’t sign here.

Anybody looking at Tyrell Williams as anything other than a WR3 will be highly disappointed. Would he help our WR corps? Absolutely. But he isn't going to make a very large difference, he's basically a league average WR. Let somebody else pay WR2 money for that.

Bobby Massie RT of Bears got my attention as played well all game.

 

And was only Bear to go over and console the kicker after miss at the end, check the film he hugged him after the miss.  That's a team mate!

I like Williams but feel like he's a WR2/3. He'd be good competition for Foster and McKenzie so there's that but I wonder what his price is. I have a feeling the Bills are going to have to trade for a WR1 because I don't see one in the draft. Otherwise it's not happening this year.

 

Teams don't need WR1, just a compilation of guys that get the job done.  Williams is a bad option because he is going to cost a fortune.  

 

We are better off drafting a WR in the second and letting the corps grow with Allen.
