Wonder if Jordan Addison will be available this offseason

It's a reasonable thought, however even though I like Addison I think he's capped out as a WR2. I'm looking for a true WR1. Of course I recognize that's easier said than done. With Miami probably making sweeping changes I'd circle back on Waddle and see if that's a viable option. Maybe check on Olave again if he and New Orleans can't come together on a deal.

 

Or how about the wildest dreams ideas of AJ Brown or Justin Jefferson? Brown and Philly look headed for an inevitable separation. Minnesota might realize Jefferson is no help to them until they get a legit QB which a blockbuster deal could help them acquire.

 

Some other name will be available that no one is talking about. Nobody thought Davante Adams or DK Metcalf would become trade candidates last year. There will be options.

I broadly agree with this. Only note I’d have is that IMO Waddle is maybe a 1.5 at best, maybe just a 2 at this point. His last 3 years have been underwhelming. 
 

I’d still want a guy like Waddle or Addison, but only at a reasonable price and not a blockbuster price. If we’re giving up more than a first and a third, I think Olave or AJ Brown are about the minimum acceptable quality of target. Even those would be pushing it unless there are competing offers. Olave’s concussion history and Brown’s combo of attitude and age ding them both as assets.

He may not be a “true” or “elite” WR1 but I absolutely think you can have great passing attack with him as your best WR if you have another legit threat to draw some of the attention (Kincaid). Regardless he would be a huge upgrade over all of our current outside WRs and make the team much better.

EDIT: JORDAN WAS ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING, SOUNDS LIKE DRUNK/DISORDERLY AT A FLORIDA CASINO EARLY THIS WEEK (LINK BELOW)

 

Obv cant make a deal now, but I hope the staff is willing to change and buy talent at its loooow this offseason.

 

Supremely talented.... dumb as rocks.... blowout sale coming as soon as next calendar season opens. Get him in ASAP while theyre emotionally annoyed with him. Youre looking at what? 5th? 5th and 7th?

 

The guys as talented as the spot he was picked. Yes, hes getting in trouble... ill be honest:

 

Hes not graping. Not beating a woman up. Hes cocky and it gets him in trouble.... I really DGAF.

 

Buy low, bring him in and have Sean McDermott read him the riot act. Hawes can pin him against a locker while he gets talked at LOL. Put baby in the corner!!!

 

BOOM! You have an elite #2, with potential to be a top half #1... dirt cheap. 

 

Were gunna need another... but thats ok. I think we look to move Kincaid. Sucks, but hes no good on the bench or blue tent.... use his as ammo to help grab another WR you like in draft.... or recoup draft capital. 

 

You could stay put and take a Chris Bell... maybe even trade back to top of 2nd and take him there.

 

There are options! Buy low, sell high is always good

He’d be on a rookie deal for a year and a cheap 5th year. He’d have 2 years to prove he’s worth the money. I expect there to be some trade options. I only brought him up because I know the Bills really liked him coming out of USC/Pitt and he’s still only 23 if you can believe that 

older than Tremaine Edmunds. Dude couldn’t even buy a drink after that Bears comeback win.

[CEN-CAL17]

I’ll take Alec Pierce in FA…. Add in our 3rd round WR…

 

Pierce, Shakir, Coleman, Cooks?, Rookie (Skyler Bell WR UConn)

 

Cold Weather WRs….

 

Waddle, Addison I don’t think fit that mold IMO.

[Victory Formation]

I wonder if they'd take a 3rd for him.. Good player, I liked him when he was coming out of USC...

Please feel free to merge this with something else if applicable and this is purely speculative but I do wonder if Jordan Addison will be a target this offseason for the Bills. 
 

There were a lot of rumors that he was going to be the selection if he made it to the Bills pick the year they took Dalton Kincaid.  There were also rumors that he was available to be traded for this past offseason season but not sure how serious that was. 
 

He would be in his 4th year of his rookie contract with the 5th year option so the Bills would have control for two years. He would be an instant upgrade to our WR corps and possibly be our # 1 WR. 
 

He looks like he has absolutely no chemistry with J.J. McCarthy who frankly has been terrible and they have already sunk 30+ a year with Jefferson. Have sunk decent money into Hockenson, and drafted Tai Felton in the 3rd round who is a very similar WR to Addison 
 

Might have to dip back into the Minnesota well for our future WR 1 again. Just a thought I had tonight 

 

I know for a fact from someone I know with the Chargers that Bills made an offer the Chargers to trade up, later confirmed they were after Addison at that spot.  Chargers were dead set on Quentin and were not interested in trading back.  Bills had hoped they were high on one of the 2 top TE's, but they were after a WR themselves and not willing to risk missing out on Q for any kind of a trade back.  The apparently had multiple trade back offers at that spot and turned them all away.  

So would not surprise me if the Bills showed some interest in Addison if he was indeed getable.  Although, I would rather see them be aggressive for JJ if they can pry him away as he also seems unhappy with the situation there.  I am sure he isn't thrilled having to play with McCarthy and watch Darnold go on and lead Seattle to the 1 seed and help JSN have a monster season his first year there.   

 

I am not sure Addison is a true WR1, but he would certainly be the best WR on our roster immediately and a welcomed addition.

I am not against getting Waddle, however, he isn't a WR1 himself either.  I think him and Addision are kind of in that same zone of poor mans WR1, but top end WR2.  The thing about our offense though (which could change if Brady leaves via HC job or replaced), is it doesn't need a true WR1 for what we run, so a Waddle or Addison would be valuable upgrades here still.  So I am pro getting either of them.  

 

Big Fish Targets - I agree an AJ Brown or Justin Jefferson seems like potential guys that might be getable this offseason for different reasons.  I am all for making a push for one if there is even a chance they could be traded.  

 

Other names I would add to AJ, JJ, Waddle, and Addison that I would be interested in that may have some availability:

• Revisit Garrett Wilson - long shot, especially within the division, but you never know how things change leading up to a draft. 
• DJ Moore - With Odunze there and and Burden flashing to go along with a talented TE room and run game, he is an expensive cog that is under used in the offense.  He would be a true WR1 here with Allen and I would put him HIGH on my target list if I am the Bills.
• MHJ - He hasn't been what was expected, and the Cards are a mess.  Might benefit from a change of scenery and still has a lot of untapped potential.  I can see the Cards moving him in what needs to be a rebuild anyway.

Interesting. I heard from multiple sources the Bills were in love with Addison and he was 100% their guy, so I always presumed they did attempt to move up... but I remember that draft just each pick from about 18 expecting "The Bills have traded up" and it not coming until after Addison (and the other receiver options) were gone. 

 

I don't Addison is a true #1. He is a high end 1B type.

George Wilson? Wasn't he that receiver we converted to safety? Chan era.... you mean Garrett. I mean sure, make a call on him, not sure that is realistic though. 

 

On DJ Moore I think you are probably an offseason too early. I think the Bears can manipulate the cap to have one more all in run on rookie Caleb money. If he is good again they have to pay him after next season and would have to consider paying Rome too (though right now that is not a slam dunk to me) while you can still massage those numbers early it does mean highly paid guys in a position where you have younger legs becomes a luxury. I mean I am sure there is a price they'd do it this offseason... but I suspect its a 1st and some other picks. 

 

MHJ is interesting. They haven't switched GMs though. So you'd need the guy who spent a top 5 pick on him to admit he was wrong two years later. Not sure I see it. 

 

All calls worth making.... don't know that any of them are easy deals to do. AJ Brown is the most attainable, he is done in Philly but I haven't looked at how the contract fits and personality is an obvious question. 

[H2o]

I would take Addison as a player, but I think he's a bit off mentally and could find himself out of the league because of stupidity off the field. 

 

Justin Jefferson would be a great get for this team. It would cost a lot though. Probably two 1sts and then some. But he would instantly be back up in the 100-125 catch, 1,400-1,800 yard range with JA17.

 

I think a target that would be great for Josh, but cost less than Jefferson, is Tee Higgins. If Burrow forces his way out then Mike Brown may tear it all down. Their team really is just a collection of three guys and they'll never win like that. They could possibly look to stack picks for a rebuild, even though it's more likely they try to "run it back" again while hoping for different results.

Think he needs to come to Buffalo to become the best version of himself.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Won’t be necessary. 
 

Fully expecting Beane to sign Jahan Dotson for roughly 9 million a year.

I really like the idea.  I think it is likely you would need an extension sooner than later, and depends on the price in trade obviously.  Have you given any thought to what it might/should take?  A late first round for him would not bother me.  He is very likely better than anything they could get with that pick.

Cant afford Higgins.  He signed  4 year / 115mil  contract this last offseason

The more he acts like a knucklehead the lower his price will get, but also more likely the Bills wouldn’t touch him either. 
 

Id say under normal circumstances Addison because of his age, productivity, and contract would probably require a 2nd round pick as starters. Maybe we give up a 2nd and get back a 5th to make it a bit easier to swallow 

[Pecker]

I’d think someone like Xavier Legette is more our speed.  He was taken one pick before Coleman, and is basically their wr 3 after being outplayed by two other young guys. I could see a 5/6 round pick being enough to land him.  
 

he’s big, strong, fast and struggles to catch. Perfect Brady WR!

AJ Brown has a dead cap hit of 72 million pre june 1 and 45 million post if they move on from him in the off-season. I'm not sure how dead cap works in regards to trades vs. flat-out cutting, but if its the same, I can't see the Eagles doing that.

Problem for the Eagles comes if Brown pushes the issue to leave much the way Diggs did here. If it's the choice between eating dead cap and having a displeased diva in the locker room...I think they move on. But they will want big value back to make it worthwhile. 

[DCofNC]

I don’t care where they find a guy, just don’t go after AJ Brown, he’s a bigger douche and less reliable than Diggs and will leave us right back in the same spot in 2 years.  No thank you.
