Bills sign Brandin Cooks

[SCBills]

Didn’t think they’d get him with the Rams  as the other team involved. 
 

It’s very clearly worth the move and he gives us another potentially competent WR on the outside. 
 

Palmer, Davis, Cooks and Shakir at least gives me some hope if they can gel with JA down the stretch. 

[HappyDays]

Well, it's something. In his prime he was a very good vertical WR which is a need for us but I have no clue if he has anything left in the tank.

[WotAGuy]

This should make Coleman useful. 
 

Can’t wait to hear Beane’s interview about it with Jeremy White on GR.

Drafted 16 picks after Sammy Watkins. Not sure where I am going with this…

Would you rather they mail in the season and stick with what they have?

Should have never gotten to this point.

 

[BeastMaster]

Hopefully he can draw some coverage away from the rest of our guys to give them a little more space to operate

 

Could be a sneaky signing if he's still a threat. Not sure he is at this point, though

[nosejob]

Over/Under on getting hurt in practice? Askin for a friend.

Cooper helped with that even though he was using a walker.

It's also kinda funny that every move Beane makes at WR now is an indictment of everything he has said and done in the past regarding the need to upgrade. He's eating his own words to some extent, but yeah, would have been great for him to have seen the light much much earlier and to have truly pushed for somebody top tier instead of "oh ***** i've gotta make some kind of move otherwise my QB is gonna end up getting Trent Edwards'd."

[KCNC]

Cooks ain't gonna cut it!  Why not just sign Gabe to 53?

[Walking Tall]

I hope he knows how to run a bubble screen.

[BuffaloBillyG]

Y'all wanted a Saints WR at the trade deadline. Beane listens

On paper this is a good signing, but this dude always confuses the hell out of me. Statistically he generally does well, though he certainly on the backside of his career being 32 years old now, but he’s been traded more than any other receiver in the history of the league. I’ve always wondered if he’s a malcontent or something

[SectionC3]

At least they put that 1.75m TJ restructure to use.  They had to do something.  I’ll add that they damn well better put Gabe on the 53 if they’re doing something like this.   Gotta take care of the originals first.

So Palmer, Shakir, Coleman, Moore, Samuel, Shavers, Cooks all on the 53 plus Gabe on the PS? Seems like too many spots unless Coleman is scratched for the season

[boater]

29 teams ahead of the Bills didn't want him. Not a good omen.

Sometimes, you just throw ***** at a wall until it sticks. Last week, Gabe’s ***** slid down the wall. So, they need some new *****.

The Josh Palmer contract really hurts.

I suspect Moore is now a former Bill.

Oh good, Super Bowl still on then
