So not for nothing, hasn’t there been a ton of complaining on here for about 2 years because the Bills went out and signed a high priced free agent who was over 30 years old? And now there are 4 pages of people saying to do the exact same thing???

 

In fairness, there's less than 1 page of posters advocating for it and 3 pages of people saying it's not feasible.

Honestly, this would be very Billsy to overpay for a talented guy nearing the end of the line. As much as he would fit the bill for the Bills the real questions are for how long and at what cost. The answers are obvious... pay too much for a guy for 1 or 2 of his last years. It just doesn't make sense sadly.

For the love of God do not sign with KC for a bargain to chase rings. 

 

This is precisely what he would have to do to come for Buffalo, and for the same reason.

What was his catch rate last year and some other key stats?

 

I did not see him play a lot, but when I did he was not a sure handed receiver anymore.

 

Seems the Bills would be much better off with a younger, cheaper receiver.

PFR Advanced passing stats, where they track drops, only go back to 2018. According to PFR, he had 7 drops in 2023. He had 7 drops in 2018 and 2019 with Winston. Then the drops fell significantly while playing with Brady. Now they rose again with Mayfield. But he had the most targets that he has had since 2018 and he had the most TD catches in his career. IOW, Baker Mayfield threw him the ball a lot.

Why would it? Teams that might’ve wanted to sign Evans to fill WR now can’t. 

 

Because quite a few mocks had TB taking a WR with Evans uncertainty....

This should help push AD Mitchell down

I think it makes the Bucs are more likely candidate to trade back to a team looking to jump a few spots for a player. Whether that’s us or someone else remains to be seen, but the Bucs can now likely move back and get more draft capital

He'll end up back with the Bucs, unless some team wants to overpay for him, which may or may not happen......hope that clears it up for everyone.

Annnnnndddddd, he just re-signed with the Bucs.......nevermind.

To be fair he plans to hit free agency, until he doesn't, happens all the time so I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way.
