Buffalo Junction Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 21 minutes ago, glazeduck said: Possible, yes and again -- I'd LOVE to see it. I just think the athletic TE is too big of a trend in the league right now for him to come to a team that has to do a whole bunch of cap karate to even get in the discussion, ya know? His agent's job is to get him top dollar, so he would have to really want to come to Buffalo, and I feel like we would've heard something about that by now. I do think that it’s entirely possible that he takes a short term (1-2 years) deal in a pass heavy offense to get his stats up before the salary cap jumps back up. It’s unlikely, but not entirely unexpected or irrational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few tight ends do. NE literally dominated the division with TEs for years. They make a huge difference in that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I find it concerning that Jonnu barely outproduced their second string tight end Firsker. Yep. I didn’t get the hype with this guy.

Process Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I would have loved to grab smith . But that is a lot of money for a TE that's never had 500 yards receiving in a season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Pats wheeling and dealing rn. Overpaid for Jonny Smith. All about upside but he had to prove it. just signed NT Devon Godchaux as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rudolph or trading for Njoku are probably our best bets, barring Feirmuth dropping to our 2nd rd pick... 4 yrs, $50MIL... as I said, he was out of our price range...

This changes everything. we are going to have to settle this year with Knox the right team over payed.. As much as I wanted him. he does not scare me Never ever would I have thought Jonnu would get that much. Major over pay IMO, and now the TE market may have just gotten a lot more expensive at the top of the FA group than even expected. My guess has always been that if we make a move at TE it was more likely Beane would trade a 5th for someone like Ertz, Howard or Njoku...or wait until the FA market settles and then target a veteran who can help develop Knox more. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its not in the conversation any more. we will settle with Knox. Just a gut feeling now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I hope J. Smith can throw the ball to himself for that kinda money (with no QB). 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein's Dog Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 J Smith is too expensive. Doesn't look good for Hunter or Ertz now. Bummer because I wanted the Bills to get a veteran TE. Hope it doesn't price us out of a Rudolf/Everett/Howard type. My new hope is trade with Cleveland for K Hunt and Njoku. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a gut feeling now I still think a trade is very much possible, as well as a quality veteran in FA at an affordable price once the top range gets over paid.

Blank Stare Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I get the money, but they have no QB and they are known as not being a very fun environment under that curmudgeon Belichick. Outside of cap space and the money here, I’m shocked this would be viewed as a FA destination for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 That’s crazy. $12.5M? Goes to show you that NE is having a hell of a time attracting FAs without Brady. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
