Dont Stop Billeiving Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 3 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: I cannot believe: Diggs, Beasley, Sanders. Those are three absolute DOGS. Holy hell. They will help Davis man up like when Genny gets sent by his parents to Honduras in Gemorrah. 100%, Sanders brings excellent route running and toughness. He gives us another guy who can get separation and beat press coverage which is huge given the schemes Miami and New England run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Love this signing. Brown is a nice deep threat, when healthy, but got bottled up in both our playoff losses when we needed him. Sanders has more dog in him, which was sorely lacking in that KC loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are so many acting like he had all these problems? Ah that's not the case with me, I was disappointed when we cut Brown. I was hoping we could either restructure or have him pay a small pay cut to lower his cap hit this year and keep him on the team. Great vertical threat and mentor for Josh and the younger guys. The Bills went in a different direction though and no guarantees, but I think there's a *chance* that Sanders could be more available and produce better in our offense than Smoke. I really like his route running and competitiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Meh. I would have preferred a pay cut and keeping Brown. Maybe he was offered that chance and he said no. But that said, he is a good option to fill our the WR group. Still need TE#2 and edge and if they let Wallace go, a CB#2. Would not want to go into draft needing all three.

LEBills Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Not who I was hoping for but he was actually pretty good with New Orleans last year. Including getting deep completions. And that’s with Brees really struggling to get the ball downfield. Edited March 17, 2021 by LEBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The way I see it.. Even if Sanders isn’t what he once was, he will still be an excellent #4 WR. Let’s say Davis is lights out, Sanders can get you 45-60 catches. That’s a BIG upgrade over Isaiah McKenzie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: Ooh I really like this signing. Sanders is a great route runner which is the trait I prioritize above all others. Really good hands too. We needed a veteran option to make sure Davis isn't just handed the #2 spot. Speed still needs to be added in the draft but you could do a lot worse than Sanders. This is exactly what I think. The last couple of seasons when I've seen Sanders, I've been impressed by how savvy he is. He's the kind of guy a QB can rely to run the route he's supposed to run, to find the seem, to make the smart improvised route decision. He can still get deep, but not with the blazing speed he showed earlier in his career. I think he's a little less flashy than Brown, but a better route runner - a dependable guy. Like others, I still would like to see some true deep speed added to the roster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 6 mil for sanders, uggg. Not horrible but I would have preferred them just keeping smoke. Either see if they could have got him to take a pay cut, or extend him and move some of the cap to 2022. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll put any current DB on skates with his route running ability. This is the same guy who got behind the KC defense 2 years ago, only Jimmy G couldn't put the ball on him. He may not be the fastest, but he's plenty fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a betting man, which I am not, I would have bet that Beane asked Smoke to cut his salary by 2 million (same as Butler and Addison & 1 million less than Morse) and he balked. So they got a receiver they could fit in the 6 million dollar window). However, when you include his dead cap hit between that and the salary for Sanders it is almost dead even. Somewhere John Brown is saying "like a family my backside". In the end it is a business and Beane must think that much of Sanders to basically break even.

He also can field a punt and a kickoff if needed to in an emergency. He was loved by the team and the fans here in Colorado I'm sure he will fit in nicely.
