Which also make their reported interest in a big back make less sense, but that's another McBeanie non-sequitur. We don't need a burner to pick up 3 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterStrategist Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Good depth signing and versatility/another weapon. Not a primary role, but I like building "pieces"/complementary players. Gives us 2 speed/YAC guys. Hopefully, Beane is targeting an early draft pick as well. That would round the WR room out nicely. Should always be adding a WR in the 1st few rounds, every year or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was WR3 in Miami last year. Playing over a 7M WR Doesn't matter because he signed with the Bills and to most negative posters on here that means he sucks. Funny how most dolphins fans wanted him back but the supposed "Bills fans" on here hate the signing.

I'm just saying that I hope that sixth guy is more of a "high draft pick pushing Davis at WR2" guy than a fringe special teams and UDFA type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 When I watched the Dolphins he made plays. He is an upgrade to the bottom of the wr room. Good blocker, good special teamer, and more importantly can contribute on offense. Using Sherfield as a big slot Buffalo can use some of the exotic Shannahan run game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, BigAl2526 said: Exactly the kind of signing that could be expected this off season with a tight cap situation. He's got enough speed, though he's certainly not Tyreek Hill fast. He has good hands, gets separation, can play in the slot or outside, is an outstanding blocker for a WR and can play special teams. Not, he doesn't have a name in the league and no, his total production is very limited, but if he had a big name and lots of production on his resume, the Bills would not be able to afford him. Much of this decision depends on which role they want him to play. If he's their idea of competition at WR2, well, not ideal. If he's a WR4/5 type who'll play special teams, great. Most people expected a higher-level WR signing before the draft, i.e. not an unproven rookie, who would give Buffalo a complement to Diggs who they acquired 3 years ago. It's not unreasonable to be disappointed with acquisitions who clearly aren't putting them alongside Cincinnati, Kansas City, or their primary AFC competition.

Yup I think we’re there. Before FA I wanted Slayton and Zaccheaus and a 1st Round rookie to turn over the Bottom 3 spots in that room. But with $8.5M left in cap space, and holes at #4 DT and #4 DE (assuming no Von Week 1), the FA loss of Edmunds, and the same approach by this FO to WR and OLine in FA (low end starters), I think we’re going that way in April.

msw2112 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 He does have a very round looking face for a guy with 4.4 speed....This looks like a good, smart signing. He's a guy with good speed and size who played well in Miami last year and has a few years of experience in the league. Playing with a better QB than he's played with in the past, he should perform well. He also plays special teams. I'm not expecting him to be an All-Pro, or even to be the #2 WR for the Bills, and niether are the Bills, but given that teams carry 5-7 WR's, this player is a good addition to the roster. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, Rodgers drafted in 2005, the first draft pick of the Packers draft went defense 14 times in 17 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 25 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Defense round one no question…. Allen getting the Rodgers treatment. This would be disappointing to say the least. It also goes against everything the teams that played in the last 3 Super Bowls have done. All 5 of these teams have gone all in on offense: * Two of the teams (Bucs & Rams) went all in to get franchise QB's * Three of the teams (Chiefs, Bengals & Eagles) went all in to surround their elite franchise QB's with the best O lines and weapons possible. Bean & McD have not had a high profile Offensive FA signing or draft pick since the Diggs signing. If Bean & McD do not use a 1st round pick on offense and/or make a high profile FA offensive signing then I'm ready for a change - a big one. Bean & McD continue to balk at doing what it takes to win a SB in the age of offense. Even worse they're wasting the talents of an elite franchise QB that was a once in a generation draft pick by the Bills. If the Bills don't, at a minimum, win their division and win at least one playoff game, then I'm fine with Bean & McD being shown the door after the 2023 season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unreasonable to be disappointed with acquisitions who clearly aren't putting them alongside Cincinnati, Kansas City, or their primary AFC competition. It appears that Bean/McD are repeating what worked for them in 2019, but on a cheaper level. Remember how they signed a center who had real concussion issues but would be an upgrade to what we had at the time and then they signed two WR's who were good but not remotely elite. It worked great for the Bills and those 3 signings helped propel the team to success in 2019, 2020 & 2021. IF, the Bills have similar success with these 3 signings - significant upgrade at Guard and two WR's that are solid #2/3 type guys then the Bills are right back in the Super Bowl mix. But if they missed on these signings and they throw most of their draft capital at the D then Buffalo will be lucky to make the playoffs next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
