Andre Reed heavily suggests that OBJ will sign with Bills

Well this story definitely has some legs now, I'm just not sure if we have the cap space to actually make it happen. My guess is McDermott and Beane will want to see if Davis takes a firm grip on the #2 role before doing anything else. If he doesn't meet expectations they can bring in OBJ in October or November.

 

 

 

Doesn't have anything to do with Davis.

 

When you have a player like Diggs or Cooper Kupp who can excel anywhere..........you can have a 3 high end boundary options..........because you know one of them is going to be FAR better than the guy you have in the slot.

 

But I am sure there is someone on here who will argue that somehow Isaiah McKenzie in the slot would be better than Diggs.............because it is TSW.

The nice thing is, if this were to happen, it wouldn't be like a Sanders situation where Gabe is relegated to WR3.  OBJ wouldn't be ready for quite a while so we would still get to see what Gabe looks like as WR2, and then- possibly- add on another weapon.

 

 

Davis wasn't simply relegated to WR3..........he was injured and it limited him for most of the first 3/4 of the regular season.

Diggs, Davis, and a healthy OBJ in 3 WR sets? Then throw in Knox at TE? Pssshhhh. What team in the NFL is going to be able to cover them? We'd score 40 a game.

I don't know about 40....

If we average 8 possessions per game, 8x7= 56.  

So 56.

There is also the reality that we are unlikely to see diggs/Davis/McKenzie play 17 regular season plus multiple post season games all 100% healthy. 
 

im not dying for OBJ but I think there’s something to be said for extra depth at receiver and some extra attitude that this team should walk away with rings if they show up. 

[Logic]

Diggs, Davis, and Beckham can all play outside and in the slot.

We know that all three of them are high quality outside receivers, but all three of them also can play -- and have played -- very well from the slot.

11 Personnel featuring Diggs, Davis, Beckham, Knox, and Cook ? Yeah, sign me up for that.

If Beckham is healthy and ready to contribute come December and the Bills feel they can afford him, sign me up.

Having "too many" weapons is a wonderful problem to have.

I feel like this is just Von and He trying to get LA to come strong with an offer now. If you're OBJ, you'd get more opportunities on a team that has Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson on the outside than you will Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. In Buffalo, we'll want him to rotate. In LA, Jefferson takes a seat.

Not specifically you but I keep reading everyone hype Cook.

 

While I hope he comes out as NFL MVP, 2000 yards and all... I am more tempered and optimistic with the late season push and upswing by Singleterry. Dude doesn't quit, has been working his ass off, and in a contract year. 

 

He does well on wheel routes and various passing. We can't sleep on him. 

 

He is going to be hungry.

Van Jefferson had 800 yards and 6 TD last year..............he's the Rams third option behind record setting Cooper Kupp and 3x 1000 yard receiver Allen Robinson.

 

How is a young 800 yard, high pedigree, versatile talent like Jefferson not a better player than Isaiah McKenzie?

I mean maybe you can say our TE will eat up more of those than the Rams TE. So still better option b.c he would be 4th pass catcher not just 3rd WR.

OK, if you insist

Depth, talent, fun.  Do it.

I like Singletary, and Moss for that matter.

 

When I was speaking of that personnel set above, I was envisioning it for passing downs. I DO think Cook will be the primary receiving back. If the Bills are sending a running back out into a pattern instead of keeping him into block, it’s likely going to be Cook more often than not. That’s what he was brought in for.

 

Cook, based on his physical skill set, is going to stress a linebacker in coverage more than Singletary or Moss.

Jefferson got most of those numbers playing when Odell wasn't in LA. Odell only played 8 games for LA last season. When Odell arrived, Jefferson was pushed down the depth chart. I'd imagine it would be the same if he returned there. Wherein here, I don't see them reverting Davis back to the role he had before for Odell.

 

Kupp and McKenzie work out of the Slot. Odell is an outside guy. So he's either taking a starting role or rotating with Diggs and Davis or Robinson and Jefferson. He'd get more playing time on the boundary in LA.

Sign him, stash him on IR and activate him when he’s healthy and needed. It’ll cost us what? 4 game checks against the cap?

 

He's a vet and whatever he signs for is guaranteed. 

 

My note:  No team is going to sign him until he can pass a physical.  If at that time the Bills need a WR they should look at him.

Can be dye his hair blue first?  Then I might be in on this.

Sanders was added to the team to be WR2 prior to any Davis injury.

Judge him off his play with the Rams. It’s pretty much a proven fact Mayfield held his stats back by rarely hitting him when he was open.

 

Also he will miss over half the regular season so he already knows a 1 year deal would have to be at a discount. If he goes to it’s the Bills, we won’t be able to resign him but other teams will be in line to offer him huge contracts. Being with a team almost certain to play into February is a huge selling point for a player in his shoes.

 

You can't count on him to be available let alone look at that sample size.  He was excellent in the playoffs until the injury, but he had an 80% catch rate in the playoffs when his career is basically 60.  

 

It's also a proven fact that he tore his ACL in February... and its the 2nd time he's torn it since 2020.  Combine that with a high ankle sprain, broken ankle, toe sprain on that foot.  He's also got a history of soft tissue injuries in hamstrings, quad, groin etc.  The fact that you don't know when you can project his availability is a concern as well.

He tore his ACL in February - even a 9 month timetable to practicing is what, november/december?  He'd start season on any teams PUP, the only advantage is you get his medicals.

I turned my autographed EJ Manuel jersey I won at a charity auction into a Matt Haack jersey and wore to the game week 17. He sucked. 
 

But I wore it proudly to the playoff game the next week to show I still support him… and he was great!!!

Ya so idk why everyone is talking about it - he likely stays unsigned until mid season 

 

I’m down either way he was playing solid last year and it never hurts having weapons and he is solid in red zone
