GunnerBill Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm happy with that move. But it further underlines to me that the need in the draft is for a vertical threat, downfield receiver. 7 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Nice.  Josh deserves weapons.  I’m actually fine now drafting a WR in 2nd round and going D Line in 1st round.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid signing for a guy that will likely start but not a bargain or anything.  I was strictly talking about his cost. He will come in this year with a $6M-ish cap hit if the $24M (up to $30 with incentives) is accurate. With Beane's cap situations it's about the highest he can go this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I don't watch Commanders like at all but judging from his stats (10 YPC), does he play strictly slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Solid acquisition. Good player at a position of need. Can flex to RB a la Debo. And a Buckeye. Happy to see this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 5 minutes ago, gonzo1105 said: You have to look at the depth of the draft honestly. The DE and DT draft drops off big time after the first 5 or so while the WR crop is incredibly deep. I think that’s why the Bills made this move.  Said the top 4 WRs are gone and WRs 5-10 let’s say are all similarly graded Then they need a huge move up in the 2nd. Because WR's will fly off the board starting with Carolina at #33. 5-10 won't be there at 60.  And I don't care what their rankings are,we need Diggs replacement out of this draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just kidding right??  The Bills will be drafting a big-bodied X receiver like Thomas Jr., Adonai Mitchell, Keon Coleman or Xavier Legette  This signing probably eliminates guys like Worthy, Roman Wilson, Troy Franklin, and McConkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistently a 600+ yard WR. 27 years old and a known commodity whereas Harty was an upside play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were the QB’s throwing balls to these two?  QBs make receivers, not vice versa.  Gabe Dropavis is nothing without Josh.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Beane takes from this incentive to trade up for Thomas. If it means one WR in the draft, get an elite talent. The value of the signing is diminished if it means getting a round 2 edge at #28. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Let’s not forget the really big thing about this signing. Will know the Offense Joe Brady will design. So like many new coaches get players to help coach the install. I fully expect that weighed into this signing as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Nice signing.  We now have 3 inside/outside guys.. Diggs being a traditional outside guy with inside flex and Shakir/Samuel more inside guys with outside flex.   Presents a lot of flexibility with Knox/Kincaid in the mix at TE.  Still think we need a true outside WR early in the draft and this definitely doesn’t change that.  Still.. really nice piece to add.  Draft an outside guy early and this WR room starts looking really nice. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Solid signing but still need to target a WR early in the draft. We say BPA but really our only needs are at WR, S, C and DL along with a physical downhill RB in short yardage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I admit I had to look him up and watch a few highlights. Read every post. I think the consensus is he is a solid possible upgrade over Davis. Agree with others I am still taking a WR at 28 or a trade down. Still need a DT or edge in round two. Maybe play the long game now and see if they can get a safety on the cheap.

The Jokeman Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 41 minutes ago, gonzo1105 said: Id like to know where this X receiver is going to play that’s a first rounder. Got Diggs and Samuel making good money on the outside with Shakir and Kincaid in the slot. Unless you’re playing Samuel in the slot and Shakir isn’t playing.  No way we could go with a 5 foot 11 outside WR in the Buffalo cold.  I just want someone to piece it together for me since we absolutely have to have one on the field.  I actually am glad they added a weapon. I fully expect them to take a WR early but wouldn’t surprise me if that’s in round 2 now. I’d say DT is looking likely and there is a possibility a Newton, Murphy or Fiske(with a trade down) You forgetting when we had Peerless Price on the outside? Or Lee Evans?

Einstein Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) 1 hour ago, ROCBillsBeliever said: We now have people to catch the ball 😱😱😱  Seriously, though, this is incredible news! Stoked that it's NOT just a 1-year. Beane knows we need continuity in the WR corps. Samuel reunited with Brady. Stoked!  His contested catch percentage is only a few points higher than Gabe, unfortunately.  We really need a better WR. Hopefully the draft brings us one.  Edited March 14 by Einstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to keep pushing for a big X early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
