CNYfan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I think he is a good match for Josh. Last I saw he was still getting open down the field a ways, and catching the ball. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I predict that he gets 1 year 6M. More than I’d like, but that’s usually how it works. If the contract is under 3M a year, I’ll be shocked. He signed last season: 2 years 24M. get ready to be pissed. He might get 8M lol 😳 Edited March 16, 2021 by NewEra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also brings Super Bowl experience. A nice bet option that produced every where he’s gone. Nice value signing. Yes...we have watched him for years!

TC in St. Louis Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Jerry Rice was bringing it when he was 50 years old! How old was Lofton when we got him? Come on, man. Dude's a professional football player. I think Lofton was 33 or 34 when we got him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbillsfan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm guessing he's coming cheaper than smoke wanted to renegotiate too. He is a great route runner and I've never heard him being a problem in the locker room. I bet he will be excited to come and buy into the mentality. He not a blockbuster move by any means but hes still a good enough reciever he has to be accounted for by the defense, that's just that much more attention taken off of diggs and company. As long as the numbers aren't too high I like the signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Kind of a head-scratcher given needs - but why complain. I'll love him after his 1st 50 yarder for the go-ahead score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 They tried to trade for him before trading for Diggs. The speed must be coming in the draft. There is none of it in the WR room right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 He also did some jet sweep work. Could replace McKenzie? Also as mentioned he has returned kicks and punts. Could get some versatility out of him other teams could unlock because he’s lower on our depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I like this move and think he will be a solid contributor for us.

whatdrought Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The only play that sticks out in my mind from this past year was when he was running a deep route and the Taysom wonder underthrew him by about 84 yards, the ball hung In the air for 3 rotations of the earth and sanders came back and caught it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Davis was a very promising rookie, but not ready to be a genuine WR2 in my eyes just yet. Why did your eyes conclude that? 600 yards on 35 catches, 7TDs. Anyway, this Offense is going to give Beasley the #2 number of targets as long as he's here. Sanders is obviously better than Brown ever was, but I don't know how much they are going to change the Offense to get him a ton of touches. Plus he's 34 years old tomorrow...

He showed he can ball, wth are u looking for with Davis?? But Sanders will add a nice element to the offense, something we lacked with Brown last year due to injury. 4 wide sets are gonna be crazy to cover! 1 minute ago, Mr. WEO said: Why did your eyes conclude that? 600 yards on 35 catches, 7TDs.

Yeah I get what you're saying. I wasn't trying to slight Davis, he was incredible value for a 4th round pick and made some huge plays for us. I just think there is a big difference between being WR4/beating the opposing defense's CB4 likely in single coverage 100% of the time and being WR2 matched up against their CB2 and drawing a lot more attention. He's a promising second year player who has some room to grow, I just thought it would be risky to depend on him as our WR2 given how important our passing attack is.

Mat68 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 NFL isnt Madden. More than speed. Give me guys inside 20 yards that eat. Diggs, Sanders, and Beasley are a tough cover. Sanders will devour single coverage. Give Allen answers outside that can win quickly. Compared to whatever Angelor got this will be a robbery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
