More than I’d pay for a possible one year rental that could potentially turn into a couple games if the season is cancelled. I guess I’d consider a 4th but wouldn’t be happy about it 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills trade for Njoku it will be the best TE room in franchise history. There I said it. Real high bar there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 People really want to trade a 3rd for a guy who has had 1 decent year and has had injury issues? I'm not saying I wouldn't want to trade for him, but definitely not worth a 3rd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Knox is going to be a star. Best TE talent Bills have ever had. He is Jeremy Shockey 2.0 I really like Kroft as #2. And as I posted before I'm fine with Lee Smith as #3 TE. I'm also fine with Sweeney as #3 TE, and a reserve OT playing in the heavy formations. That said Njoku is a talent. Give them DiMarco and a #4. That adds more talent at TE and gets rid of a useless position. Dress 4 TE and line up one in the backfield from time to tie if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'de love to add Njoku though and run double TES. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills history at TE is as bad as any position on any other team in NFL history. Zero ProBowls. Knox has as good a chance to end that streak as any TE they have had. All that, said, I'd still add Njoku if they can as he would be an upgrade over Kroft at a minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone want DiMarco ? Not meaning to bash the guy, but I’m not sure I wouldn’t ask for someone else in a trade. Knox has all the tools, but I hope he can put it together. His greatest asset is also his greatest flaw. It’s the fact that he didn’t play in much college. He looks like a talented guy who hasn’t seen much game action. It means he either has a ton of potential, or he’ll never be able to learn the intricacies of the game at this point. Hopefully he gets it. I don’t dislike the guy. I’m just hoping he isn’t a liability on the field, like he was much of last season. Edited July 3, 2020 by SirAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to see Josh excel??? We could accomplish that rare feat of winning the offseason AND regular season. Other than KC, who would have better Offensive weapons? Maybe some comparables but better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lousy culture fit for the Bills. Let him go infect the Jets. I think the team sent the message first by signing Hooper to a huge contract and then drafting a player in the 4th.

machine gun kelly Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Knox is the best TE ever? I like the guy and think he can grow to maybe what you say, but that is a reach. Maybe,Imean that in a nice way, not disparaging Metzelaars. I met him when I was. Little boy that tower of a man, and he not only was a great pass catcher, but could block Sowell before this generation of TE’s. He was a stud back then and as humble as could be. im really hoping Knox, I really am he is the next gen. But he hasn’t proven it yet to be a The next Kittle. Let him prove it this year and I think you’re right he could do it. Then we can anoint him. I’m all for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is trying to improve their roster. Good team players encourage that, and accept the challenge to their position (and bust their butt to keep it). Bad team players try to bail out, and find an easier situation for themselves. And again, this only applies if that's the reason Njoku wants out. It could be that the Browns disfunctionality hasn't improved under Stephanski. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills fans have basically anointed him as a future great. He has potential, but I don’t see any guarantees that he’ll become great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Coming out of college Njoku was recognized as a significant talent with a high upside. He has battled some injuries and is on a team where he is usually the last option to receive targets. They didn't bring in Hooper and pay him good money to play in Njoku's shadow. The Browns will try to trade him but I doubt that they get an offer in the range that they probably want. If there wasn't a cap problem in NE, I could see the Cheaters taking a run at him. The Saints could have an interest as well. I think the Bills like the guys that they already have and won't spend draft capital or money to acquire him.
