$6-8M for a guy who hasn't had a good season since 2020 and is gonna be 31?  Maybe the ACL recovery hindered him last season, or maybe he just doesn't have the same speed and agility.

 

I don't think we can afford that.

 

At the right price,  he would be a nice fit on the Bills offense. Dependable WR there's a dependable pro. Could be Josh's third down to go WR. I wouldn't hate the pick up for 3 to 5 mil.

Pass....  

 

We have Gabe Davis and he will rebound next season.  Guaranteed.  It was a blip....  he'll be back.  Plus we can draft a WR for cheaper $$ and have more for the O-line revamp.  

You can draft a better receiver for cheaper $. Nothing against Woods. He's been a real pro.

Price has to be correct for a team currently 20M above the cap.

 

Still, Woods doesn't provide the deep option this team needs desperately.  But he could play outside, which is something this team did not have depth at last year.  Noticeable that his catch rate was down significantly from career norms, although the QB situation probably contributed to that. .  

 

None of that should diminish the need to draft and develop a WR...where Buffalo can only show Gabriel Davis between 2017 and 2021.

He had more catches than Davis did last year…

It wasn’t a blip, his drop and catch % have been consistent his whole career so far. 
 

There is no rebound for Davis, he needs a breakout. Bills need a backup plan if that doesn’t happen.

They traded him so I'm not sure he'd be so open to just head back there. 

 

I think he'd have Buffalo on his list of teams.  He'd be a perfect WR to add in as a jack-of-all-trades type.  Kind of like a younger Manny Sanders (who we missed last year IMO).  Also, he'd be pretty familiar with Kromer's schemes which has the WRs blocking quite a bit.  I doubt he's going to cost much.

Any of the LA teams actually. That’s home to him.

I’d love him back, and maybe the prospect of playing with JA would be appealing, but he didn’t seem interested in signing with us after his first run. Maybe it was the staff, or QB, or Buffalo itself, but I’d be willing to take him in at a team-friendly deal. If I remember he was very well-liked while here. Would be a nice fit if Beas decides to call it a career again.

 

 

 

…that being said, WR in rounds 1-3 please.

Just FYI, Beasley said he would play 1 more year for the Bills.  Obviously he could change his mind or Bills dont want him next year.  I would sign Beas as cheap as possible, he is good insurance as a backup, hopefully we get a new slot Wr starting

I want young promising wrs on rookie deals. No more re-animating Beas, Smoke or Bob.

The Bills have a somewhat complicated passing system. Alot of route options/decisions to be made based on coverage. It's why they like vet WRs and why I think McKenzie had struggles in an increased role.

 

That's not to say that we won't have young WRs but the Bills will always have veteran WRs on the roster IMO especially after what happened last year.

Should the bills target Woods if he could be signed for around 6-8 million?

$6-8M? It’s in the ballpark but I feel $6M tops is his market.

 

Marvin Jones has put up better numbers than Robert Woods over the past 2 seasons. Both 31 years old…. Jones will make $6M next year.

 

Im gonna say 1 year $4-5M… 2 yr $8M

Everyone immediately jumps to Beane in these threads, but I have to wonder how much Josh’s opinion is sought out with regards to WRs. Josh isn’t a rookie anymore. Does management ask him what he thinks he needs or who he thinks he can work with? 

You would think after 5 seasons Allen would want to have frank discussions with McDermott and Beane about the types of WRs he likes throwing to and what skill sets are missing in their current group.

I’ve been waiting for this thread. I loved Robert Woods both in college and as a professional. He’s bounced around a lot but has always looked productive to me. 

 

He’s like Sammy, but in a round world where producing actually matters.

He is equivelant to Gabe Davis, in my opinion. Might as well stick with Gabe because he is younger.

 

But I'd want to see an upgrade at #2 WR.

 

 

Oh that's one of the colder attempted slaps on Gabe Davis I've seen.

 

Robert Woods 2022 was what Cole Beasley 2022 would have been had he actually made a roster.........a clear step back from the 2021 Beasley that wasn't good enough.

 

Maybe Woods had injuries that he can bounce back from but 9.9 yards per reception?   58% targets caught for a short/intermediate receiver?   Passer rating in the 60's when thrown too?  

 

Woods was BAD last year.

To be fair Woods missed time in 2021 with an injury and last year had arguably the worst QB throwing to him in Malik Willis. That said at best he's a middle tier #2 but more bottom tier if ask me.

I think that’s why you saw smoke and beaz come back…

Aside from the fact they do absolutely nothing in a similar fashion, you are spot on.
