billsfan89 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hasn't been a truly elite player since 2018 and last had a highly productive season in 2020. For the past two years, he has been a solid player but not dynamic. At age 33 with 9 years in the league, he wouldn't be the best option. Not a tragic idea as he may have one more solid year in him but I would rather look elsewhere unless Thielen comes fairly cheap and is willing to be a complementary WR 4/5. But I don't see that happening. If the Bills are looking at WR I would rather look to the draft or trade for a younger WR like Jerry Jeudy. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsShredder83 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 obv not the player he used to be and easy to throw out a "hearda him," dont think hes a number two, no delusion there. given his experience anybody think we look to add a vet role player, realistic contract, providing ring chance like Sanders or our attempt at Bolden? Seems like a player that would draw some Beane attention, week 2 of FA kinda deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills404 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I’d take him for sure on a cheap 1 year deal. His best days are well behind him but he’d still be much better than what we got from the slot last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) If we needed a redzone guy I would say yeah but Knox and Gabe are redzone guys. He’ll offer depth for sure but I don’t see much upside possibility. I don’t want him replacing Davis, makes us slower. In the slot he’d be reliable, which is an upgrade but I don’t know about his separation ability at this point in his career.

HappyDays Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I won't be surprised if we sign someone like Thielen or Woods for a low salary to give us a baseline option in the slot, in case Shakir doesn't develop. I'm fine with that I guess. As long as they also add an upgrade on Davis for the #2 WR spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I think if there’s an aging WR they sign it’ll be Jarvis Landry. They’ve tried to get Landry in the past. Beane likes to keep trying to get WRs he’s missed on. Now we have his close friend and personal coach as WR coach.

We didn't need Von. The last game of the '21/'22 season featured an offense that exploded and a pass rush that couldn't affect Mahomes. The common thought at the time was that an elite pass rusher was the missing element to push us over the hump. Even knowing what I know now I would still take Von Miller over Christian Kirk. We have options to upgrade on Davis this offseason. Elite pass rushers, even older ones, are very hard to come by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
