Chicken Boo Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 1 minute ago, SoonerBillsFan said: In fairness,based on what? 131 receptions in 6 freaking years. Again, opportunities. He's not the answer to our prayers, but he's solid. Mack is more the 57 rec 700 yard guy with the Raiders than those other years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has played for Philly, Miami, Las Vegas, and then Atlanta last year. Career: 131 receptions for 1,691 yards and 10 TDs. Best year was in Vegas two years ago when he had 690 yards and 4 TDs on 57 receptions. Special Teams Ace. Was a special teams captain for the Falcons last year This With Hollins You get the blocking that left with Gabe Davis You get a more polished WR than Trent Sherfield You get the ST gunner that left with Siran Neal.

gonzo1105 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 He’s a bottom of the 53 man roster who can play STs and be a WR if they are struck with injuries. People need to realize they’re not making big moves and are protecting their comp picks.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As long as he’s competing with Shorter for the 5th WR spot and only sees time on offense if there are injuries, I’m fine with it. If this is Gabe’s replacement, not fine with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strive_for_five_guy Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 6 minutes ago, TOboy said: Fine addition as long as a) the contract is cheap and they intend on using the minimal cap space available on a starting safety and b) they intend on going WR in round 1 Think he cost ATL like $2.5M last year, can’t imagine him making anymore than that now. Need to round out the WR room, fair signing if he’s our WR4/5/6 versus what we had paid guys like Sherfield and Harty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, what is your problem with this signing? He's been a career STer, he's put up some numbers when he got the chance. New Jake Kumerow or Trent Sherfield candidate. Sounds like he's got a bit of a screw loose, which is right on point for a guy who might play gunner. 6 minutes ago, Buffalo03 said: We couldn't get Michael Thomas on a small 1 year prove it deal for $2 or $3 million? I don't think any team would even invest higher than $5 million in him at this point Generally when a guy's most recent contract was 1 year, $10M and he's got a $2.2M roster bonus already due to him, the answer to that question is gonna be "no". FWIW, Spotrac suggests a market value of $9.2M for Michael Thomas, and if you don't think any team would invest higher than $5M, that kind of implies some team just might invest $5M, which means he won't sign for $2 or $3M early in FA.

We all knew or suspected the Bills would have to retool the roster around Allen this offseason. Many of the core guys these past few years are getting older so it was time to get younger which is what the Bills are doing. I am looking forward to the draft with the Bills having so many picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Didn't know he was still in the league. This should be vet minimum - hopefully it is just a fill out the 90 move (they did need some receivers for OTAs etc) and he doesn't make the roster. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well make the roster as a gunner/STer 5th or 6th WR - why would you have a problem with that? He's shown he can produce more with a good QB throwing to him than most #5 or 6 WR do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
