DCOrange Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 21 minutes ago, whatdrought said: The biggest argument against Humphries is probably that you can get the exact same thing in the 4th round by the name of Hunter Renfrow. Younger, cheaper. Granted Humphries didn't look like much coming out of Clemson either, but this is one of those deals where you have to decide how much certainty is worth. If you sign Humphries, you know you're getting a good slot WR. Renfrow could be, but he didn't really do much at all in college. Everything about Henfrow from an athletic and a production standpoint suggests he won't do anything in the NFL, but that was the case with Humphries too so who knows?

Paying $10m+ to a slot receiver is tough for me to get my arms around. And we all said the same things about Bob Woods for 7mill a year back in 2016.

He's the Z WR their or flanker off the line. He is basically playing both as he is very versatile. Edited March 11, 2019 by Real McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 59 minutes ago, Juice_32 said: I'm not as down on Zay as some but I could see him ending up as WR4 when it's all said and done. Zay is versatile and can play inside or outside in a pinch. Humphries would be deadly in the slot for Allen, who as we know likes to extend plays. He's got a better feel for space than Zay. Bingo! 49 minutes ago, N.Y. Orangeman said: I'm looking at is as $10m that wouldn't be going towards the OL, an X or a Z receiver or a DE. By the way, there is a draft as well.

We still need a #1 and that's not Zay. Depending on how free agency & the draft shake out Zay might be working his way to camp fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellDopeland Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Of all the fan bases that should value a pure slot receiver, it's us. After all, the greatest WR in Bills history was a slot guy (Andre Reed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is no-one wanted to pay Woods 7mill a year a couple seasons ago at the slot. Now the going rate for a damn good slot WR is 10mill. I will let Beane figure it out and see if Pegula's money is needed here. I will be happy If we pick Adam up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I struggle with the valuation. Lets take Humphries. He's a decent receiver. However, is he a $10m receiver or is he a receiver who benefitted tremendously from having Mike Evans, Desean Jackson and Chris Godwin on his team in pass-first offense? Again, he's a good player, but I don't like the value he provides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBills Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 This move makes alot sense and the Bills can afford to pay him big money in the short term because they are paying Jones and Foster almost nothing. Foster in particular is under Bills control for the next two years at least for almost nothing. The Bills also don't have any polished route runners/short yardage WRs on the roster. Give him 5 yrs, 50 mil, and leave yourself a way out after 2-3 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
