billsfan89 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I like him as a Kumerow replacement. Sherfiled provides the same ST ability that Kumerow did but he has more upside as a receiver. Coming off a nice season in Miami despite not getting a ton of targets certainly not a dynamic player but as a WR6 who can play ST and step in as a complementary receiver if needed he has a nice role on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That list certainly isn’t going to cut it. Josh deserves better 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are probably significant upgrades and I give Beane credit for these moves. But this receiving corps absolutely still needs a WR 2 and I think that means finding one in the draft. I too fear that they may be going in a different direction. Hope not. Given his size and speed I wonder if this guy can play on the outside. Seems to be a big slot with YAC ability. Yeah, he played on the outside plenty in SF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays special teams, good size, 4.45 forty, YAC kind of guy and coming off his best season. The new #6 WR He may be penciled in as the #5 or #6 WR, but I'm not sure he's just Kumerow's replacement as a primarily ST guy. He played 58% of Miami's snaps on offense (611 out of 1009 plays per PFR, apparently 422 per PFF? Unclear on discrepency.). Apparently played about half his snaps from the slot and half outside. 417 receiving yards on 30 receptions last season, 3rd on the team. For comparison, McKenzie had 423 yds on 42 receptions. I'm thinking he's kind of a back-up plan to Harty and Shakir, in case Harty goes down injured and Shakir doesn't take that desired step as a slot, but also he is someone who is big enough to play other roles than returner on ST. Although that didn't go well for the Dolphins in our first meeting....he's the "Butt Punt" blocker. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played inside and outside for Miami I was wondering how many snaps he had where he lined up outside given his size/speed. I guess that means he is another hybrid like Shakir and Davis. I suppose they liked putting him in the slot for his blocking ability as well as being a big target for Tua.

ColoradoBills Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 5 minutes ago, Chandler#81 said: Ok, I’m fallin’ in love with this guy. Just watched his presser. Articulate straight shooter. Best described as HUNGRY & HUMBLE. Big, tough, fast, very good at STs and a great blocker. If you get a chance, check it out on the Bills website. I think we got a keeper! I like how he told Maddy that he can play both inside out outside. I keep going back to having multiple players moving into the slot position all game long versus having one guy nailed to it. Puts a lot more pressure on that NCB in my mind. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 The good thing about the Harty and now Sherfield signings is that these guys can play in multiple scenarios (special teams and contribute at WR) this may free up Hines as well to not just being a special teams ace. It looks like we're ready to evolve on offense and start going to more designed plays at least I hope this is what it means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect something along the Miami $s. He's got enough years and games they may have him on a vet salary benefit contract, where they pay him vet minimum ($1.08M) and a small signing bonus, but he only counts as a 2nd year player against the cap ($940k) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 57 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I agree with this in the sense that Harty upgrades McKenzie and Sherfield upgrades Kumerow. But I don't like that Davis is still locked in as the #2 WR. Short of a rookie receiver blowing away expectations, the best avenue for upgrading that spot is acquiring Jeudy, Hopkins, or OBJ. If we pull that off I'll feel great about our WR room, better than ever in the Josh Allen era. If we don't, I'll still feel underwhelmed by the weapons we've put around him. I agree with almost all of this, but feel I’d be excited still if we get a top WR prospect at 27 (or by trading up). I think Addison, JSN, & Flowers in particular could come in right away and push Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane isn't gonna pay him what he wants And frankly, I think there are only so many recovering ACLs a team should be betting on I hope you're right about the rookie in round 1-3. Round 1 or 2 preferred, for me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
