atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Unless this guy decided he wants to play again he won’t be on a roster. He has to show up in shape and willing to fight for it. I have seen nothing in Benjamin since 2017 that leads me to believe he will do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over for Eli, especially with the team Gettleman frittered away.

What about Kelvin Benjamin's time with the Bills makes you think he could play TE? If he's a pass catching TE, he needs to catch passes. If he's not, he needs to make physical contact with defenders. IIRC, he does neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I remember when we got him how excited people were (myself included). Some people were calling wgr and saying he was a top 10 reciever in the NFL (lol). Sad thing is, he could probably be really good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 There are likely fans in the stands that are faster, more motivated and can pick up the playbook faster.

Ittakestime Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I still think KB can be effective in this league. With a QB like Eli that can't throw long, but can still put it in right spot, it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal read on Benjamin is, after getting guaranteed $8.5M last year, his motivation evaporated. 43 minutes ago, 4_kidd_4 said: The same family bloodline that cried and pouted their way out of Eli playing in San Diego? The same family bloodline that had its star member tea-bag a female trainer and successfully not only, so to speak, stuffed it, but later "spun" it in a published book and trashed her career when it seemed pretty gratuitous to do so Seriously, I do think there's a significant difference between saying "Not gonna sign a contract to play there" (Eli) and making that clear from the start, vs. making a commitment (and signing a contract) then quitting halfway through a game (Davis). YMMV and all that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo 5 minutes ago, jeremy2020 said: fixed that for you I understand your POV, but seriously...the guy got paid $15.9M for 5 seasons. I think the most he's likely to get offered is 2x vet minimum, with incentives so for a 6 year player....maybe $1.6M? Unless he squandered his money or had it stolen by investment advisors, how motivating is adding 10% to your net worth? You can add 3% with Kasasa or a CD and not have to study playbooks, run gassers, and get slammed into the Astroturf by behemoths. If he didn't want the $9M size paychecks to stop, he shoulda given max effort in B'lo and KC. Instead he slacked to the point where casual fans noticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
