DJB Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Can't keep everyone. Previous regimes would have spent $ on guys like this and let quality oline walk. Robert's was good, not spectacular. This also opens a path for MacKenzie to hopefully be back as well as open up another WR spot on the team. Beane knows what he is doing.

HappyDays Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 In that case kick returner is a big need. We don't know for sure if McKenzie will be back, and even if he is I still don't trust him to field kicks. Maybe we'll try to fill that position in the draft. I still really like Rondale Moore as a 2nd round target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He consistently gave the O good field position and only seemed to have made poor decisions a handful of times. Unfortunately we're getting to that point of our roster buildout where paying a KR top money isn't feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question Roberts gave us good FP a lot and was certainly reliable and trustworthy back there, but he's far from the only one who can offer that sort of safety net. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I don't like this. He consistently put us in good field position. I don't think it's as simple as everyone thinks to put someone back there and have the kind of Pro Bowl production he had. Here's hoping tho.

Was great having a threat to take it to the house for a change. Since McGee I believe. He's a good returner, but he never scored in two seasons with the Bills and he took it out of the end zone plenty of times when he shouldn't have. Still, he's better than average. The fact that it's a pretty unimportant position makes me not care so much, however. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 That’s way too much $ for the Bills to match. He’s at the age where he’s going to take the cash, it’s his last deal most likely at age 33 Bills will need to find a returner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we don't regret this. I guess the Colts playoff game wasn’t a game you re-watched. He was a good returner though, but his best days probably behind him. Good for him he’s getting one more payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedogg Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 It's a bummer because he was very good for us in the years he was here. I would guess McKenzie will slide into the role now? He's underutilized on this team, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
