With the 55 man limit there might now be space for 7 including Roberts as their primary return man. If they draft a guy (still think they will somewhere) then I expect it to come down to McKenzie, Foster and Duke for 2 spots.... as it essentially did last year. But they could have company in that chase from UDFAs who in any other year are drafted receivers and will likely be more effective competition from Sills and Easley. Agree with this. Honestly the player with the highest ceiling not yet seen on a consistent basis is Foster. He is really one of the handful of players that could take a step up and have a significant impact.

billsfan89 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The Bills WR core is locked at the top 3 and locked with Roberts as WR5/6 (Depending on how many WR's they carry) but there is a wide open landscape at WR4 and possibly WR5 (If they carry 6.) I like Mac as a WR5, good gadget player and quality depth. Good to see him there. I would like to see the team carry 6 WR's. The top 3, a WR4 drafted in round 2 or 3 (need depth and youth), then have Mac, Duke or Foster at WR5 and Roberts as WR6 as a returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others are the return game are all below this guy. So, he m akes the roster, but maybe just as a special teams guy and diasaster receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Very good move. He may not get alot of touches but he does make big plays on the pitch passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Still believe that they will draft one in rounds 2-4 who will make the team and if Roberts is a given as return man that leaves McKenzie, D. WIlliams, Foster, Ray-Ray, maybe a round 6-7 draft pick or other vet FA to battle for the last spot in the WR group: 1. Diggs 2. Brown 3. Beasley 4. Draft pick round 2, 3 or 4 5. Roberts 6.

34-78-83 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I was hoping for this. He's a valuable player in spite of being a notch down on the depth chart. Very versatile, good quick change of direction, makes explosive plays, good in the lateral deception game this offense likes to employ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So gonna be somewhere near vet minimum. Now I'm all confused, I thought the RFA tender was vet minimum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Glad to see him back. Watching last years games, when called upon, he made plays and scored important TDs. Plus, he's still young (25), he can get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaBu Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: He was a 5th rd pick so not sure how much that equates to RFA - After 1st & 2nd round tenders, in 2020 it goes to: Original-round tender: One-year contract worth the greater of (a) $2.133 million or (b) 110 percent of the player's prior-year base salary. Then.... the tender amount increases each year by the same rate of increase as the NFL salary cap, at a minimum of five percent and a maximum of 10 percent. The RFA tender would be significantly higher than the vet minimum. For example: Players with seven or more years of experience will have a minimum salary of $1.05 million in 2020 under the new deal.

Logic Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Good move. They'll try to upgrade the "gadget guy" position in the draft, but it's always smart to bring back a guy that you already know can do it well, for competition's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm shocked there weren't a few negative comments*, knowing how some post on this forum. For what was obviously less than tendering him as a FA, they managed to keep him around. A great signing, even if he doesn't end up sticking on the roster to start the season**. I'm guessing he will. Well done (so far) Bills fans. * There was one less than intelligent comment: ("Camp Fodder") which seems odd for a guy who played in nearly every game last year and started in eight. **If there is a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but i'm willing to bet that the Bills are going to use "Right of 1st refusal" which allows them to sign for vet minimum. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2017/3/8/14834554/nfl-restricted-free-agents-rules-tender-amounts What makes a restricted free agent different? Unlike an unrestricted free agent who can either re-sign with their current team or test the open market and go elsewhere, restricted free agents are tied down unless a team allows them to become an unrestricted free agent. Teams have four different tender options they can place on their restricted free agent that usually keeps those players from leaving. First-round tender: Free agent can negotiate with other teams, but original team has option to match any deal and will receive a first-round selection if it opts not to match the deal. Second-round tender: Free agent can negotiate with other teams, but original team has option to match any deal and will receive a second-round selection if it opts not to match the deal. Original-round tender: Free agent can negotiate with other teams, but original team has option to match any deal and will receive a selection equal to the round the player was originally selected in if it opts not to match the deal. Right of first refusal: Free agent can negotiate with other teams, but original team has option to match any deal. The team will not receive any compensation if it opts not to match another deal.
