Have you seen him play for the Giants?


Yea.  He’s a TE that basically plays the slot. 
 

He’s still a big body that can be utilized in certain 2-TE sets and will likely be more effective in the slot with Allen throwing to him, Knox in line and Diggs/Davis flanking him.  
 

Beggars can’t be choosers.  We aren’t flush with cash.   He’s a guy that we can hope to elevate.

McKenzie isn't actually costing us $4 million this year. Let's what the real numbers look like before jumping to conclusions.

 

Oh I'd guess that the McKenzie cap hit is only $2M or so in 2022 but that there will be dead money if cut after the season...........and they are already going to be borrowing money against the 2023 cap........and I expect that they will likely want to move on from Dirty after this season.    At least I'd hope they'd find a couple WR in this draft that they think are keepers.

 

As for Engram...........$9M is just absurd if that rumor is true.    I understand that GM's get obsessed with players they wanted to draft and maybe that's the deal with Beane and Engram but he hasn't earned that kind of contract.

Am I missing something? What does Engram bring that Knox does not?

 

I've been critical of Rambo in the past, but didn't he have a good season? I  feel like this money better is spent elsewhere. 


Engram plays primarily out of the slot. 
 

He’d be signed to play with Knox, not back him up.

He brings explosive athleticism and an ability to stretch the field.  Why only have one?  Bills need more explosiveness on offense and defense.

I don't think they cut him after the season. They know what they have with him. I guess by me saying that it should be longer term deal though. But can't keep everyone forever.

I agree 100%. I think dirty’s cap hit will be around $2.5m. I think Engram goes for 5-6m per

Giant fans would be laughing at the Bills for signing Engram.

 

And Giant fans aren't in a position to be laughing at anyone. But they would if the Bills sign Engram.

Really? This is actually the guy I want. He’s already tight with Knox. He’s versatile where he can line up as a big WR. He’s fast. We really need another TE, I think Dorsey wants to run 2 TE sets.

2 TE sets have their place, but it's not an offense I want to transition to with this kind of signing. I'm high on Gabe and I'd like to see us get McKenzie more involved. I think there's probably a better WR/receiving option we could make a play for in FA, by trade or draft. I trust in Beane, but my gut says pass on this move.

2 extremely athletic TE’s are not your father’s 12 personnel. Crazy mismatches. Especially if the CMC rumor is true

The Engram rumor made me think of Mitch last year...Engram needs a prove-it to regain some MV, and the Bills need an actual threat at TE2...Win/Win...I'm guessing it would be very cheap for a year...If that's the case what's not to like?...Another position you don't have to Draft in 2022...B-)

I get it, Belichick demonstrated clearly how 2 TE sets in the moderns NFL can work. If McBeane says this is the way, then so be it. We'll see :P

Plus we have Tommy Doyle who can line up as the jumbo TE when needed , it was working well at end of last season

This wouldn’t be Cleveland/Baltimore type 2 TE sets.  

Think Diggs and Davis out wide, Engram in the slot and Knox lined up off tackle.

$4M for a 178 yard receiver McKenzie and $9M for a 400 yard receiver Engram.............yeah Buffalo would be getting bargains because of Josh Allen. :lol:


That McKenzie number actually bothers me more than 9 million of Engram. 🤷‍♂️

I was critical of Daboll @ times and I like the Dorsey promotion, so I'm excited to see the changes he brings. If this is what he envisions I'm on board.

You’re assuming a guy like Chandler Jones wants what the team would define as a BIG $$$ Deal, don’t give up hope yet!

I may be in the minority but i hope the bills don't sign engram.

 

Knox is due for a contract extension which surely will put him over 10, engram is going to malke I am assuming at least 7 per?

 

Bills are predominately an 11 personnel team and that is Josh allen's bread and butter.

 

I don't want upwards of 20 million tied up to tight ends

I wonder if they will justify paying both in that engram is a hybrid WR

Yeah i think this makes a ton of sense. They must see the crazy upside of Engram. He could be a Deebo Samuel type of weapon if he is used that way. He is bigger and faster. Having Knox in the lineup allows the Bills the luxury to do a lot of crazy stuff with Engram.
