Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 22 hours ago, purple haze said: I’m sure he works hard, in general. His body just might not be able to recover like it once did, no matter what he does. He’s played a lot longer than most. Happens to all of them, and us, sooner or later.

While Gabe is growing into his position and on his rookie contract, I'd play him as much as possible Also This 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 If he wanted to come back I'd have no issues with it as long as its cheaper cap wise and known he is more the 5 or 6 wr rather than in the top 3 With that said I think it would be a great time to try and get younger at wr especially with all the free agent wr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Probably the right move as he's not going to be back with the Bills next year and not sure any other team is going to be lining up for his services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I definitely appreciated what he did this past season with the Bills, but he wore out as the season progressed. I wish Sanders nothing but the best. It’s safe to say Diggs and Davis will be the Bills top 2 WR’s, with Beasley in the slot. I’m curious to see who steps up as the #3 WR?

Livinginthepast Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Great TD Vs the Chiefs in our win in Arrowhead but then he fell off the quality cliff by midseason. He was a non factor by the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo44 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 He did have that 40 or so yard td vs the pats in the playoffs and the 20 yard reception setting up Davis’s 4th td on the next play vs kc. So he still was making plays. But his production did diminish as the season went on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills keep him and manage to re-sign McKenzie, then maybe they use Stevenson when they want speed on the outside to pair with Diggs. I'm assuming Gabe Davis is being looked at as a starter on the outside with Diggs, but while he's not slow, he's no burner. I believe it is important for Beane to be cognizant of team speed, especially at the skill positions on offense as well as defensive back, linebacker and edge rusher on defense. Gabe Davis looked just fine beating KC deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) He gave us everything he had this season and I appreciate that, but I think father time is catching up to him. He's had a great career and has a Superbowl ring, so I think the only reason he would come back would be to win another championship or get to 10,000 yards in his career (he would need 755) Edited February 15, 2022 by Allen2Diggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a unique threat in packages, not ascending and not a special teamer…that deep in the WR depth chart you need at least 2 of those to be solid.

DCofNC Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Didn’t love the signing when it happened and I’m not going to change my mind. Allen elevates players around him and Sanders was a non-factor. Time to put Gabe out there at #2 and draft some more WRs. Still could use a true game changer, but unlikely we land one, unless we get lucky and one drops in the draft. If they part ways with Bease, they are going to have to find a new slot guy too. I know everyone thinks the Bills are stacked at WR, yet if you look at the facts, they have one guy under contract who has ever had a 1000 yard season. Only one who was good enough to make the active roster that’s over 6’ tall. And none that are game changer speed. The group is honestly pretty mediocre as a whole. Allen has brought them up, Beas and Diggs had their career best years with him, he made Smoke relevant for a couple years, hell he had people thinking Robert Foster was an NFL player. Allen has made a mediocre cast look good, if he had elite talent around him, it could be obscene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be your 5th wr but not dress on Sundays Being 5th or 6th just means he would jump those specialists in getting actual snaps in a game if injuries happen. Believe the bills kept 7 wr most if not all season long Edited February 15, 2022 by Cheektowaga Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe the bills kept 7 wr most if not all season long to have a long in the tooth guy wanting to earn a ring not dress probably doesn’t jive with his goals or our ability to develop future talent. just my guess but I think most of these want to contribute to earning it, not just be a practice guy in case of emergency. He could sit home with his family and wait for a call at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 He should retire, he played a nice role this season but is clearly not having much left. Better to go out on your terms. Not much else he has left to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs...Davis...Dawson No more obsession with veteran locker room guys. Get young and be productive. Draft a speed WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
