Question for those of you who follow other teams: Do the Bills have the worst wide receiver group in the league? That would be ironic: the best QB throwing to the worst WRs. 

In terms of talent or their actual play? Because, for example, the Jaguars WRs are much more talented but I think they have been by far the worst in the league this season.

 

Buffalo is definitely near the bottom (though we have a good OL, good TEs, and good RBs around Josh so it's not like he's actually surrounded with nothing).

 

Other teams near the bottom IMO:

• Jets (after Wilson they basically have nobody playable, but Wilson is obviously very good)
• Cleveland (Jeudy is okay but it's horrible after him)
• Houston (Similar theme, it's Nico and then a bunch of rookies/Christian Kirk, none of whom have been able to really do anything yet)
• Tennessee (Ridley and a bunch of underwhelming rookies)
• Las Vegas (Meyers and a bunch of underwhelming rookies/sophomores)
• Giants (Slayton would be a nice pickup for us but he's maybe their #1 right now?)
• Carolina (Tet is a promising rookie and Coker is still getting back up to speed but their WR room is essentially all untapped potential right now)

I would say that right now (including Palmer for us), we are better than Jacksonville, Cleveland, Tennessee, Las Vegas, Giants, and Carolina). I'd probably rather have the Jets or Houston's WRs because they have a good #1 and we could potentially acquire reinforcements around them.

Bonus laughs Matt Jones week tackle attempt lol

The guy had 1,000 yards receiving with Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew throwing the ball to him while Brock Bowers was balling out. He averaged 11.8 yards per catch. Right in line with Cee Dee Lamb. Not saying the guy is elite, but I think he may be more than just a JAG and could probab;y be had for a 3rd round pick, 2nd round tops. 

Since he's like Ceedee can we just offer the Cowboys the same deal and try and get Ceedee instead 😉

Josh to Jakobi hehe

That play gives me joy on so many levels - topped off w/ Jones' face being shoved toward the center of the earth

Meyers would move the needle more than Shaheed.

 

He's not a huge upgrade - but he's a "good enough" upgrade, imo.  He would demand some attention and make everyone else just a bit better.

 

If we got him & Gabe could regain some of his old form, we'd be in business.

 

Not trying to say he’s a world beater by any means but meyers would be as good as any outside wr we’ve had in Josh’s tenure outside of prime Diggs…even late Buffalo  Diggs had more of a slot skillset I’d say 

 

im glad the fans don’t run the team haha turning down meyers is kinda crazy.  Like yea sure having aj brown would be better than meyers obviously but a lot of these hypothetical trades for great players don’t make financial sense for either team and are wildly unrealistic

Bills, Broncos and Steelers pursuing Jakobi Meyers

 

I think Belichick is still pursuing Meyers for that one lateral. 🤨

I doubt this is real. Mid to lower tier guys don't have real rumors like this. If a team actually wants them they just get him. Rumor headlines like this are always the team trying to drum up interest. Wait a couple weeks and he will probably be released. 

[947]

Jakobi gets open, a lot. And he catches the ball when he does. He's not a burner, but he'd get open on all those plays where Josh scrambles for 4 seconds & frantically looks for ANYBODY even remotely open to throw to.

 

That said, this is the exact same thing we were sold on with Palmer, and he's barely been used. Just when it looked they were started to utilize him more, the hip drop tackle happened.

 

I'd still prefer Shaheed, but Meyers would absolutely help our pass game.

[Nihilarian]

The Steelers signed and have DK Metcalf, so why are they after Jakobi now? I've been reading about so much regret from Bills fans because they didn't sign DK.

No way the Bills WR are better than Jax, Giants, Carolina. The others are debatable. Hunter and BTJ for Jax are both way better than anything we have. For Giants you have to include Nabers, not to mention slayton and Robinson who are better than any outside WR on our team. For Carolina Tet would be our #1 by a mile, not to mention Coker (and maybe Legettee too) is prob better than any of our outside WRs. Our WR room is probably the worst in the league objectively if you are looking at starting WRs only, although we do have some depth of mediocre WRs. The worst part is, this was the case last year and it cost us when it mattered. And was entirely predicable before this season too. I was as hopeful with Keon as anyone but he just doesn't have that starting high end ability. We have to something. Shaheed or Myers would be a start and at least give us a shot this year.

I would agree with you on the Jaguars talent, but Thomas has been probably the worst WR in the league so far this season and the rest of the group has been mostly bad too. I'd still take them moving forwards, but the Bills WRs have been better than them so far this season. Giants I am not including Nabers since he's out for the year, but yeah, if you do include him, they're obviously a lot better than our group. Tet is a promising rookie; would love to have him on our team. Coleman has been better than Legette thus far in their respective careers and I don't think it's particularly close even though Legette is like 2.5 years older. Coker had a promising rookie year; I just want to wait a few weeks and see how he's looking as he gets back up to speed. He hasn't really played yet this season due to his injuries.

Is it too much to ask for Shaheed too if this happens?  Probably BUT I AM ASKING 

[Buffalo716]

Considering Myers has like 30 yards less than BTJ and 12 less passes thrown his way this is just I want the big fast dude and it doesn't matter what their actual stats look like 

 

Jacoby Myers has like 5 years of producing in the NFL and is more consistent 

 

Again if the jags were trading btj this early in his career that is a red flag to me no matter his talent

 

BTJ has more talent but where is his head at is huge

Hunter and BTJ are big names but two of the worst receivers I’ve watched in the league this year tbh. Granted hunter is playing two positions and brand new to the league.  Really not sure what’s going on down there lol they are definitely buffalo bills-coded right now 😂

 

hearing people describe guys like meyers as mediocre then saying we should trade the farm for BTJ are giving me heart palpitations. legette is horrendous.  honestly BTJ, legette and hunter have gotta be in the bottom 5 of PFF if I had to guess haha I gotta go fact check myself

Meyers requested a trade during the offseason and again at the beginning of the season, so this isn’t out of nowhere. With the Raiders pretty much out of the playoff picture I think he will get traded and the Raiders are just holding out for the best offer. It’s possible nobody has ponied up a 3rd yet and they are waiting until desperation kicks in. It’s a sellers market right now for WRs. Not much out there.

As @Kirby Jackson so aptly put it, Meyers is the final boss of the JAGs. 

yea I haven’t watched a ton but it feels like we have several of him already?
 

Not sure if he really adds to the perimeter at all but it’s another wr32-WR48 type of guy 

[Mat68]

He is a suitable replacement for Palmer. I dont think he really impacts the offense overall.  I wouldn't go much more than a mid day 3 pick.

This thread is the perfect example of the telephone game.

 

This morning Jeremy Fowler wrote "Several teams are believed to be in the receiver market, most notably the Steelers and possibly the Broncos and Bills."

 

Possibly, as in speculation.

 

This tweet took this quote and ran with it "The Steelers, Broncos, and Bills are all in the market for Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers"

 

The thread title makes it sound as if the Bills are "all in"

Exactly.  Plus even if he didn't include "possibly" the odds are strong that reporters are just making things up or guessing anyway.  Without the expectation of naming a specific source, who could resist?
