My view.

If the Bills get any of the big name WRs listed, Coleman instantly becomes better.

Supposedly? the fins asking price for waddle is a third round pick.  But doubt they trade to an afc east team.

 

 

If they do trade him to an AFC East team it would be the Pats. Just because.

Drake London & Tee Higgins are similar in size & 40-time to Keon. They were both dangerous WRs from early in their rookie years. I like Keon, but if he had that same potential, we'd be regularly seeing signs of it already.

 

Keon's RAS score breaks down pretty similar to Isaiah Hodgins,  with similar strengths and weaknesses by those metrics.  That's not to say they're the same guy,  but it's still somewhat interesting.

I’d give them a 2nd for Waddle!

Bingo. Can you imagine Allen with that type of talent? What we are doing right now is criminal. At the end of the day though I feel like beane and McDermott are too stubborn to admit we have a big problem at wr and they’ll do nothing 

I wonder whether having dressed down the media after they questioned his approach to the WR room Beane is reluctant to pursue one because he'd be eating his words and admitting an error in public. I think he's too professional to do that but I'll be interested in seeing what guys like Olave and Shaheen go for if the Saints decide to move one of them and we stand pat.

You just know the Patriots are getting one of these receivers. If we do not get one, the AFC East is theirs

Just because some of those mentioned have a bunch of receptions and are #1s first mean they play X or Y which we need aka an outside WR. Case in point Garrett Wilson and Jakobi Meyers play a lot of slot WR.

Thank you.

 Olave. Waddle ?

Wow that is some serious financing for either though. I don't care much about the draft pick at this point. You spend it next year or you spend it now and hope he can start and impact ? Might be better off getting a proven WR now though.

[ColoradoBills]

Miami has said they are not trading Waddle and I believe them.

He has an $11M cap hit next year and it would cost them $23M in dead cap in 2026 if traded this year.

 

It's not happening this year.

Outbid them. Tell teams this. They know our situation already if that GM has eyes. Don't look at it as overpaying as its just the cost of doung business.

 

How many teams have we seen have a ~#4-#9 QB due for an extension, and all the sudden theyre the top earner, or tied with the #1 guy on a per year figure.

 

THATS BUSINESS IN THE NFL!

 

This team being where they are at, and potentially a single top WR away from 1 seed+SB appearance, should just expect to pay it.... or we can be content with #2seed, no bye week, and fizzle out in Divisional Game.

 

Idk where TF the urgency is from our FO

It feels like McD just got the wake up call in the last two weeks and especially Falcons game. Its was a Coaching failure on both sides.

 Time to pick up the pace for winning the SB with Allen fom the FO!

How do we feel about trading early picks for an Olave or a Waddle. perhaps 1st rounds ?

 Bills have plenty to fix after last week. More than adding a Top Tier WR.

But i would bid hard for the best outside threat i could. And not a 30 year old hope and pray player lol

They ALL get better.

Some folks have been harping since pre draft. Outside speed and #1 talent , or two from the Draft might be the missing piece for the Offense.

 I wanted that.  I agree with ya

There has been talk of it though lately. McDaniel says no. Others suggest a wait and see next few weeks.

I would be making calls to Miami with my wish list Mr McBeanes

Josh Allen is about to be 30 years old. We don't have time for draft picks. You find older veterans who were once plus starters who are now role players looking for a ring at nice prices to fill those roles. Trade for high end talent that landed in an unideal situation.

[Maynard]

Anyone else hearing we’ve offered a 2nd and a 5th for Waddle? 

[stuvian]

Ray Ray McLeod looks to be in the Falcons doghouse. A situation worth watching.

[Virgil]

There’s no part of me that believes Brady knows how to utiilze a #1 receiver in his offense.  It doesn’t matter if we trade for someone else or not. 
 

At first I thought Diggs fell off a cliff, but seeing him in Texas and New England, as well as just how all of our receivers have faired since he took over, makes me believe Brady is the issue. 

[Nihilarian]

Speaking of Diggs in NE. against the Saints last week, he went 3 for 3 for 28 yards.  Seems like he found that cliff again...

How do you think Diggs will do when the Pats go and get a wide receiver like we need?

Ray-Ray McLoud is not helping this WR room. 

 

He might provide more than Tyrell Shavers or Elijah Moore. But Gabe Davis can do that as well. We need someone to take the top off a Defense.

WTF is a hospitalizing groin injury, described by Ben Johnson as "personal" 😆😆😆😆

 

Is DJ Moore a teenager again? Bath house accident?

 

Seriously thats a strange scenario lol Ben Johnson probably should've found a more specific way to explain it.... hell,  lie if you gotta
