HappyDays Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I'd be okay with this. We don't have a field stretching WR on the roster. He gives us a baseline for that role, albeit a low baseline. Edited May 14 by HappyDays 11 4 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 That guy was dropping passes all year, even had a reporter asking him “whats wrong?” In the playoffs he made some tough catches. The WR needy Chiefs moved on, I don’t think we should pursue him. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They in fact have 2.5 now as all 3 of Samuel, Keon Coleman, and Khalil Shakir will stretch the field in different ways. But Shakir is so good in his first 15 yards the Bills likely won't ask him to run too many deep stuff. But if they do... 5 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 He's better than Quintez Cephus, KJ Hamler, Mack Hollins, and probably Chase Claypool. His career production relative to theirs makes this indisputable. He also provides a downfield threat that the Bills currently lack. Given what it will likely cost to sign him, I'd be fine with this. It would materially improve and diversify the Bills' WR corps. Not as much as we'd all like, of course, but the salary cap is the salary cap. 8 1 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WR needy Chiefs moved on, I don’t think we should pursue him. He’s competing for 4th WR here and gives some veteran insurance for Coleman. He’s exactly the type of WR you sign that won’t block a young player from snaps, but can fill in if the young player can’t handle it. 7 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakir, Samuel, Coleman and the likes of MVS, Hollins, etc. Ouch. MVS could legit be WR3 if Coleman isn’t ready.

I wouldn't classify this as a deep ball, nor would I classify Khalil Shakir as a field stretcher or downfield threat. Curtis Samuel's strength is in RAC ability, too, not so much downfield stuff. And Coleman is an unproven rookie, so we don't know WHAT kind of downfield ability he might offer. As of this moment, I'd say we have to unproven POTENTIAL field stretchers: KJ Hamler and Keon Coleman. The former can't stay healthy, and the latter has never taken a snap in the NFL and can't run by corners on a go route. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked him to do other stuff because Davis and Diggs were locked into their roles. But this season he's going to get a healthy dose of the 2020- 2022 Diggs role which was basically any route in the playbook. He's gonna be a deep threat, and so are Samuel and Coleman. At least that'll be the roles they'll have, until they show they can not 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
