There's a high chance that only one Outside WR on the Bills roster will be on the team next year

[Special K]

I'm assuming Palmer will be the only holdover next season.

 

It is hard to believe a position overhaul like that would ever be needed on a team with Super Bowl aspirations that has an MVP QB.

 

I'm not a Beane basher, he has made a lot of great picks, but the neglect of the WR position is certainly a curious decision on his part.

 

I'd bet we will see WR's drafted next draft on the level that DL were drafted in last years draft.

Since he only gets screen passes he classified him as a running back. Easy mistake to make.

I'm assuming you mean outside WR, because there is no way the Bills are getting rid of Shakir nor should they.

Oops....thinking of Outside Receivers....Shakir is set in the slot.

Yeah i’ve commented on WR threads and a couple times totally forgot about Palmer😆.  It’s easy to forget some of these guys.

[Process]

If Gabe stays healthy I think he probably sticks. There won't be any demand for him this time so should come cheap. 

 

Gabe Palmer Shakir and Shavers as either PS or WR6 again. So yea, we'll need two new WRs including a WR1.

I agree with this. Palmer will likely stay. I have a hunch Coleman is traded. I don't think Gabe will be back. That leaves Shavers as I don't consider Moore or Samuel outside WRs.

 

Shavers is the Mendoza Line. He's been in the system for a while and is well liked. He's the one that if he makes the team next year, Beane didn't do enough to improve the boundary. Hopefully, he does and Shavers is back to the PS 

 

The issue for next year is that the FA WR class is SLIM. There's George Pickens. And that's really it. Yeah,  Mike Evans is expected to be a FA, but he will be 33, and guys always seem to re-sign with the Buccaneers for team friendly deals. Other than that....a bunch of JAGS.

 

That's gonna mean if Beane wants to reset the room, he's gonna be forced to look to the draft or swing a big boy trade

Shavers has a chance to be McDermott’s special team pet for a few years.

That's a very real possibility as well. He basically earns his jersey for STs this year already. As frustrating as it is for some, we do need a few players like that on the game day roster.

Are you suggesting Shavers just doesn’t… cut it.

So, "there's a high chance that," translated to normal language, means "I think this should happen."

 

Got it.

 

It's certainly a possibility, I guess. IMO Shakir and Palmer and Coleman will still be here, at a minimum. But it's certainly within the range of possibility that you're right.

Personally think we should go big game hunting in trade market. And we should draft another as high as value makes sense in rounds 1-3. Move up a few slots if you have to make need match up with BPA correctly.

 

I would've liked to see Keon get some shared reps in slot with Shakir, but I dont think hes remotely earned it.

 

On paper hes the #1 on this team. Most snaps of all WR's. Josh Allen is his QB. 330 yards in a hair over half the season. Hes been disciplined several times. Brisk jogging routes. Crazy disrespectful and ignorant.

 

Part of me genuinely thinks he should be cut as a wake up call and example to the rest of the team. I dont say that lightly.... but hes the best example of a guy with no fire. 

 

The one thing he did exceptionally well, and still has an advantage over NFL DB's is his build and 50/50 ball skills (lol!).... dude looks completely disinterested in fighting for them now.

 

I dunno If hes a punk. Or Poyer made him realize he doesn't have it at the NFL level last year. Obviously were not in a position to cut him though. If something happens to Shakir, he'll get his chance in the slot. Im sure his confidence is shot too, which is another reason I change should've been made sooner.

 

Probably wouldn't change anything, but doesn't mean thst wasn't the right thing to do. Crazy

Palmer is our #2 next season. Shakir will be in the Slot. Shavers is under contract next year as well and could return as WR6. Coleman may be a part of a trade. Or he could enter Elam territory where we give him more time but he's considered no greater than our 4th WR. 

 

Basically, they just need a True #1 next season to line up next to Palmer and Shakir. He's either going to have to make a trade, trade up in the Draft, or lure away someone like George Pickens or Mike Evans in Free Agency. We can fill out the other spot or two on the bottom with a Day 3 Pick and/or low price Free Agents.

K, we’ll hopefully still have Palmer, but they will honor the Shakir extension.  I can see with the overwhelming heat Beane and McD are facing, they will draft twice with high picks, and probably again in the next draft (2027), as they should’ve done this each year for at least three of the last 5 years.

One last thing, free agency is not an option unless someone can figure a way to create $30 mil. In cap space.

The only way I see Coleman here is at the 6th slot seeing almost no playing time.  He’s only remaining for in cases of injuries.  I do agree Palmer and Shakir will remain, but as I mentioned in the other post, we’ll draft high multiple times as it’s cheap labor for four to five years.

It’s an interesting idea, but Evans is a god here in Tampa.  The Bucs would absolutely never let him go.  Pickens, not sure.  If we don’t use our #1 draft spot and even maneuver moving up in the draft for a stud WR, it will be a nightmare for Beane and McD.
