MAJBobby Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 3) BUFFALO BILLS: The Bills are one receiver away from having one of the top offenses in the league, especially after Josh Allen made the leap in Year 2. John Brown can take the top off the defense, Cole Beasley is a solid slot guy and Cooper would give Allen a playmaker who can win one-on-one situations and clear out the box for the run game. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001101262/article/eagles-bills-among-potential-landing-spots-for-amari-cooper?campaign=Twitter_atn 6 1 2
warrior9 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I just don't see Beane shelling out that kind of money for WR (nor do I want him to) 5
whatdrought Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I'm meh on this... I don't love the idea, but I don't hate it either. I prefer we take advantage of the deep WR class. If he wants to sign someone I think there are more economic options, but it isn't my money.

Chandler#81 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Mc/Beane has won me over. We’re close because of their shrewdness. If they think he’s the piece, he’ll be wearing Scarlet, Royal & White. 6
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve mentally crossed him of the FA list since he publically stated he would not want to go to Buffalo. I would rather draft one or even two given the strength of this class than spend the $ on him. I would take one in the 1st or 2nd rd and then another later if it aligns to the Bills draft board. Already have Brown/Beasley and i like mckenzie. Edited February 5, 2020 by YoloinOhio 9 4
Nuncha Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Cooper seems to quit when things get tough... so he doesn't fit here. 6 1

Expand Since Cooper said it was more about location and that he will make big money anywhere he goes, I don’t think money will matter in this case. He will get his money and he doesn’t want to be in Buffalo. 6

qwksilver Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) He's one of the FAs I do not want. So I hope he really doesn't want to come to Buffalo. Some things just work out all by themselves! Edited February 5, 2020 by qwksilver 3

Fr. Jerk Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I don't think established FA receivers would want to come to Buffalo, even if the Bills pony up the money. That said I was surprised and pleased when they got Beasley. If Cooper already said he doesn't want to be here don't bother. Edited February 5, 2020 by The Jerk

I'd rather have a rookie, and someone who will cost less like AJ Green. 1

msw2112 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I have not followed his career that closely, but I don't think that Cooper's play has been commensurate with his draft status. He's been good, but not great. He's very talented and will likely command top dollar. He doesn't seem to be a "process" guy and the secret to the Bills success is a cohesive roster consisting of the types of players who want to be in Buffalo and want to be a part of what the team is building. Cooper does not appear to be one of those guys. The deep WR draft class also warrants going after younger, less expensive, talented WR options.

The amount of Allen haters is still surprising to me. Expand Me too. Oh well, can't please everyone. Honestly, I wanted Josh Rosen, but I didn't hate that we took Allen. I had him as my 2nd QB to take. I liked Allen's potential more than Mayfield & Darnold. I'm thrilled at how good Allen played this past season and he can get better. We definitely need to give him more weapons. As for the topic at hand. I'm unsure about Amari Cooper. He's a good WR, but I think he would rather play elsewhere, and I don't see Beane giving out that much money. I'm fine with drafting 2-3 WR's this year.
