Solomon Grundy Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Let's get KJ in here working with the Bills training staff to get him up to speed. Can be a net positive for the Bills not needing to target 2 WRs in the upcoming draft. Although I'd still like for them to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 6 hours ago, gonzo1105 said: Hamler has tons of potential. He grew frustrated in Denver with terrible QB play and being the 3rd or 4th guy in the pecking order. I think he has a shot to make the team and I think he signed with Buffalo because he knows theirs opportunities here and a top of the line QB is here Agree. Him not sticking in Indy (where the WR depth is poor) is a bit of a reg flag but they don't have an established culture and a proven QB like we do. And he has to know this is his final shot.

Once again, he battled injuries this year. IF he can stay healthy, he could push to make the team as a WR6 or a prime PS guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) In have an idea, why doesn’t Beane actually invest our draft capital in talented WRs instead of castoffs from other teams? During his tenure, Beane was never drafted a WR higher than the 4th Rd (Davis). Is it any wonder why we continually bring in guys like Sherfield, Harty, and now this mini WR. This is not what the Bills need. The Bills need two good receivers, one to replace Davis and one to eventually replace Diggs. We need someone with size and speed. Someone like Adonai Mitchell for example. These guys are found high in the draft, not from the Walmart clearance bin.

FireChans Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I LOVED KJ Hamler coming out. Thought he was a great target for speed for the Billls. Couldn’t stay healthy in Denver and was ultimately not dependable as a 3/4 WR. Like the signing. Wish he was playing this week. 34 minutes ago, GASabresIUFan said: In have an idea, why doesn’t Beane actually invest our draft capital in talented WRs instead of castoffs from other teams?

If the draft was last week, you’d have a really good point Unfortunately, the draft is in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWK Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Crazy that the season isn’t even over yet and we have already started hyping up WR trash that will amount to nothing. Brandon Reilly, Andy Isabella, Duke Williams, another name joins the list every year. Hamler was good in college but it is very unlikely that he amounts to anything for the Bills.

According to Wikipedia, "On July 31, 2023, Hamler announced he was diagnosed with pericarditis. Hamler was then waived by the Denver Broncos with a non-football illness designation". It doesn't explain why Indy didn't sign him after the season, but I imagine most teams are very skittish about his injury history and the heart inflammation issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in the last 2 years the following Bills were signed to such contracts: OL Alec Anderson DT Eli Ankou DE Kingsley Jonathan OL Ryan Van Demark TE Quinton Morris The idea is to fill out the bottom of the roster with developmental players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be incorrect. All GMs look at their commitments and roster before they look at their draft needs. Having this guy in the organization will change how Beane looks at his WR depth and will change his draft strategy, especially as he has to pinch pennies as he is 40 million over the cap.

That is your opinion, and you can believe it if you want. I couldn't disagree more when it comes to Beane finding a WR2. He doesn't have big money for an UFA WR (like you stated), so I see him drafting one in the 1st 2 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining about the signing. Complaining about the people who are hyping him up based on liking him out of college just like they did with Andy Isabella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
