Smoke healthy is physically better in some ways, but Sanders is the better route runner and has better hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Mat68 said: Imo an upgrade over Brown and a complete fit in the offense. I could debate being an upgrade over Brown, but Sanders is great as a #3 or #4 in this offense. Sanders is a pro's pro. He knows routes, is a cheap option, and he fits well in that 8-14 yard catch range that is Allen's bread and butter. Yes...a burner will be good to sign but given the cap space and that a rookie receiver is likely to be no higher than the #3 option with Diggs, Beasley, and Davis, we can be patient with WR's. It is DE/RB/CB where high draft capital goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just looking for the Bills to add Cheetah Hill type speed. Yep. But let me state for the record. I like the signing. Sanders is a damn good football player and he will be good for Allen and Co. He almost signed last year. He said he asked for 24 hours to consider and they made the trade for Diggs within that time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo44 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It seems like he could play the slot, also, if needed. I like many things about him including his versatility. This sounds like a definite upgrade to me without, I believe, affecting the cap with Brown’s release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sanders has been the better player throughout his career. 18 minutes ago, Victory Formation said: 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. McKenzie was never the fourth WR though. He was the 5th WR behind Diggs, Beas, Smoke and Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are so many acting like he had all these problems? Perhaps he was hampered by injury, but Brown disappeared for entire games last year. Including the Colts and the AFCCG.

Codycolo12 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I don’t see what sanders has to be giving him 6 mill. watch his highlights last year, everything is caught in a zone or against bad dbs. Then he gets ran down by every linebacker so you tell me what speed he has? honey badger gave him a 7 yard head start on one and he ran him down in 3 steps lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown is a great guy - even keel, hard working, fast, gamer - tries to play through injuries. He's a very polished route runner and when healthy can separate if the coverage isn't too physical. He got completely erased in a number of games last season, and both 2019 and 2020 when it was on the line he missed some receptions he could have had. Even healthy, the writing seemed clear that physical CB play can take him out, especially if the zebras keep the laundry in their pockets 44 minutes ago, NewEra said: 1 year 6M ding Just a comment that I think when the dust settles, some of these 1 yr deals will be structured as 2 year deals to take some off the cap.

ColoradoBills Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I always like Sanders. That being said he is long in the tooth and $6M is a little more than I could have hoped for BUT I will wait to see how much is guaranteed. Has that been released?
