Beyond disrespectful to #17 at this point.

 

If we are going to continue to ignore helping the kid by brining in no names and not investing seriously into offense, trade him to Houston and pickup their 2 firsts.

 

FO should be ashamed 

Wait the off-season is over already and the season starts this week? Damn I need to get a tailgate menu planned.

Need lots of bodies for camp. Love the potential. What's not to like about this signing?


They’re filling out depth of the WR room suggesting Davis is still WR2 and the position won’t be a priority in the draft.

Keep. Adding. Speed.

 

Amazing that they are only starting to understand this after KC and CIN showed offensive speed is not optional the past 3 seasons. 

 

Which also make their reported interest in a big back make less sense, but that's another McBeanie non-sequitur.

Optimist's take:

Was productive last year. Has good speed. Potential dependable slot option. Will help on special teams. Need 90 players for camp, not every player is going to be a star. We needed more receivers, we got one. Affordable contract. Still has upside. Beane isn't done making moves.


Pessimist's take:

The Bills needed to add legitimate weaponry at WR, someone who can actually draw attention away from Diggs and be a legit WR2, and Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty do not seem to be those guys. Both seem like JAGs. This will only take snaps away from Khalil Shakir and stunt his growth. This doesn't move the needle on offense. This will probably prevent the Bills from investing in WR in a meaningful way through the draft.


Truth:

Probably somewhere in the middle. For what it's worth, I usually find myself more aligned with the optimists. Given my fervent hope that the Bills would take upgrading the offensive weaponry seriously this offseason, I find myself more aligned with the pessimists on this one. I hope it doesn't take valuable snaps away from Shakir. I hope it doesn't prevent Beane from spending a high draft pick on a wide receiver. I fear that it will do both. I am not thrilled.

Let’s not kid ourselves Justin…this FO is telling you all you wanna know who we’re drafting at 27.

 

Hint: Edmunds just left.

 

Another offseason, another failure to address the offense and build around our star QB.

 

Sad!

Diggs
Davis
Shakir
Harty
Sherfield

Assuming all those guys make the roster, they're realistically likely to only have one more WR on the final 53 at most.

I'd like to think/hope that said player will come via a high draft pick, but I am dubious. 

I'd also like to think/hope that Sherfield was signed mostly as a special teams asset and that they won't be depending heavily on him on offense, but again, I am dubious.

More improvement is needed at WR. I really hope they don't feel like they're done there after these two FA signings.

Our WR corp is better than last years already with guys that are sure handed and speed.  Both can catch a pass and go the distance. 

 

Draft a receiver and were good. 

 

Also, we have a couple of WR on the practice squad that may surprise.

Agree need to sign above Gabe Davis and push him to WR3 (where he really belongs)

So thinking ahead, how many guys are dressed on Sundays last year? If Sherfield is indeed the new Kumerow, he will be active.

Fin fans do not like this.  Finally a ST player that can actually help on Offense as well.  Similar to Harty in that respect.  Seems like they are done with the ST only players FINALLY.

I’m with you.  Obviously the amount we’re paying him matters.  But he can play a bit.  So I like this a lot -
