QCity Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 3 hours ago, Ya Digg? said: 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.

babulator Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beebe Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The Chiefs are always rumored to be targeting these marquee free agent/tradeable WRs, yet they never actually make a move for them. Have seen it with Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, Hollywood Brown, Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham, Adam Thielen, TY Hilton, Odell Beckham again, Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins, DeAndre Hopkins again, Mike Evans again, on and on. I'm nearly convinced that agents float Chiefs "interest" in an attempt to scare other teams and drive up value/urgency. KC moved on from Tyreek after the 2021 season in part because they feel the need to save money at a premium position with Mahomes at QB. The luxury of having Mahomes is you can put together a budget WR corps and spend that money elsewhere; whereas teams like Miami (Tua), San Fran (Purdy), Detroit (Goff) and others likely have to surround their QB with great talent to be successful. Mahomes occupies 22.5% of KC's 2024 cap number, and their current projected top five receivers occupy less than 5 percent. Buffalo is currently spending closer to 14-15% for their projected top 4-5 receivers. The Dolphins are spending the same if not more (likely closer to 16-17%.) Cincinnati will be in a similar spot if they keep Higgins (and still must extend Chase.) The Chargers will likely maneuver, but their top two receivers currently count 25% against the cap. It's really hard to build out a great roster if you have a top-5 highest paid QB and expensive receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Crazy to think he came into the league with Sammy Watkins. Im happy for Evans for getting paid for past work. But the Bucs are insane.
