NO MORE ***** SLOT WRs!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Does Beane know nothing about building a WR room? 😡 😡 😡 

Again, do you really believe that Beane is actually trying to make this trade? Which of his trades were rumored before they happened?

 

Edit: Plus see post above. It's pure speculation.

Moving Gabe Davis to the practice squad makes me skeptical, don’t think Bills make a trade unless it is a gift.

he would put Keon on the bench

 

Unless he's a waaaaay better blocker than I think he is, he's probably not likely to put Keon on the bench.

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. 

Some teams like having multiple good WRs instead of one or zero

He may just be more of a Palmer replacement to them.

 

If we trade for Jakobi, I think it means Palmer may miss more time.

Our present WR room has 4 slot WR and 1 that belongs playing outside.

I have him on my FF team and he's been mediocre at best.  I realize a lot of that is his QB but it would be nice some production if we're trading for anybody.

When you want a Lambo (Brian Thomas) but purchasing from the Honda Civic parking lot (Meyers)

 

There is likely no Lambo to be had.

 

Olave was the only bigger fish that was thought to be had. But then that was squashed when it was revealed that they weren't only trying to extend him, but Olave is working with them to get it done. Only real shot was if he was telling them he wanted out and he's doing the opposite.

 

Options like Waddle and Wilson seem unlikely to be traded. But even if they are, there's 0% that they'd move him to us inside the division with all the options they'd have. A.J. Brown was never going to be moved regardless of how disgruntled he got a few weeks ago and now he's calmed down anyways.

 

BTJ isn't available. Even the initial report that made everyone go crazy just said teams were calling about his availability but that it was "very unlikely that they'd trade him". Since then they've come out and said they absolutely won't trade him. 

 

Jakobi Meyers and Rashid Shaheed seem like the only actual options and likely the best we can do. You can't force a team to sell you what they refuse to sell. And it's ridiculous to me with what we're rolling out and what we're getting at a number of the WR spots we have that people would be upset by getting one of them in here.

 

You call it shopping in the Honda Civic lot. I've got news for you, a Honda Civic is world's better than the 50 year old Ford Pinto we have to push down the road. The grand sum total through 7 games for HALF of our entire WR core (Samuel, Moore, Shavers) *combined* is 13 catches for 164 yards and 1 TD. Let that sink in.

 

It's ridiculous to me that people would complain about bringing in a Meyers, who's coming off of a 1000 yard+ season and who's low since 2021 is 804 yards, when we're getting what we're getting out of half of our core.

 

It's like dying of thirst in the Desert and seeing a canteen that's half filled and saying "it's only half full so I'm not going to drink it".

 

Meyers would be an upgrade over most of the WR's on this roster. We need all the help we can get and if that's the best we can do, you do it. Get a Shaheed or Meyers in here, activate Gabe when ready, push some of the guys who aren't getting open or providing literally nothing (like Shavers who's gone without a catch in 5 of the 7 games he's dressed) off the roster, and hope for the best.

Could be right.  One thing I’m confidant in, if we trade for Meyers, Keon won’t be getting nearly the same amount of targets as he has so far this season
