Bills sign 2 OL and 1 WR

[BlueRed]

Is it odd that we still don’t have the contract details for these 3 yet? Its been over a week - seeing how much they guaranteed to each of the players is my key indicator to how they are planning to factor in this year.

I think the disconnect comes to Palmer/Coleman. I agree that the Bills are higher on them than the general public. The difference in thinking to some (including me) is that I don’t believe that the Bills will COUNT on them again this year. It’s that “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” type of situation. If Palmer and Coleman develop, it’ll be found money. The answer may be as simple as Cooks and a day 3 pick. They’ve already been in contact with Cooks and are planning to circle back after the draft depending on the pick.
 

In my opinion there are only 2 realistic ways the top of the WR room looks on opening day:

1. Moore

2. Vet not on team (Cooks likely)

Slot: Shakir

(Day 2 or 3 rookie somewhere on the roster)

 

 

 

1. Moore

2. 1st round rookie (hoping Cooper or Tyson if so)

Slot: Shakir

 

Both Palmer and Coleman may be on the team (although that’s not certain IMO). I don’t think either opens the season as a starter. The Bills just won’t need to count on them again. 

 

Good points and very fair. 

 

What I see an issue being is Beane likes to chance things to fate at times. We have seen him count on players like Palmer having a healthy year (Spencer Brown comes to mind) and not bringing in proper competition. And we have seen him take chances a guy will make a leap and not bring in competition. Here you have 2 guys in the same room that perhaps he looks at and thinks, man chances are ONE of them step up. And that's all I need. Is one of two to take a step. 

 

Couple that line of thinking that Beane has displayed in the past along with Joe Brady going to bat for Coleman right after being introduced as the HC (Of which was unprompted and something he really didn't need to do) and it tells me that Keon will get every opportunity this year possible. They are going to use him and use him a lot more than we think. 

 

I had I theory I wrote in my "Resurrection of Keon Coleman" post that I still believe and that I think logical thinking can point to. Basically in summary: Keon fell in the famous McDermott Doghouse. He doesn't respond well to the type of coach Sean was and just said "eff it". Meanwhile, Brady is the guy that says he stood on the table for Coleman, however, as we all know Keon can't get open on his own. You need to install plays to get him open. With McDermott randomly making him inactive, and sometimes on short notice, Brady couldn't put his plays for Coleman in the weekly playbook. This year, I think there will be a focus on getting him involved. Brady has basically tied his name to Coleman and really can't afford to see him fail now. 

 

With Coleman being a decent blocker as well and Gabe Davis likely not back and Shavers likely starting the year on PUP/IR...there really isn't another notable blocking WR on the roster as it sits now. Keon will have a role. And he will (if healthy) see more snaps than he has in a season yet. The only place I see him losing snaps is if Brady sticks to his guns and has Shakir play more outside in 2 WR sets. 

 

All that said, still a long way to go til week 1 and it's a long season. This new regime is going to do things very different. It's an exciting time to be a fan.

Sherfield stinks. Corbett feels like the ideal floor for LG. Cushenberry is interesting to me because he’s another C. Do they maybe try to get a pick for SVPG? Would someone give an asset for him?

Agreed, Sherfield is not a Shavers replacement. Sherfield does play special teams.

 

Agree on the OL. Corbett can come in and start if needed, terrific depth if not.

 

Will be interesting if SVPG was a McDermott doghouse guy, or just can't play. I liked the pick.

I liked it too. Thought he’d have a chance to play but doesn’t look like it.

At first glance starting at powerhouse Georgia National championships teams you think it be easier to peg what he would be 

 

Yet, from day one I said it was going to be a two plus year project 

 

he was anchored by a massive offensive line at Georgia which could mask a lot of things at the college level.. he was flanked by two 335 lb guards I think one of them was six seven 

 

That really helps a center at the college level when you and the two guys next to you can just physically dominate everybody it's different in the NFL

Wow that's pretty bold Cotton 
But realistic. Agree they nearly must grab Cooks. and better have a handshake at least on a deal

 

 I also attune to the "found money" outlook.

They really need another key player positionally via the draft. To either replace Coleman or Palmer. Finding them somewhere along in the Draft would be nice. Developmental Depth is fine

Oh Man !

 I forgot about Gabe Davis 🧐

 Hope Beanes has his #. he might be healthy enough by mid season to come in if needed.

 If Bills are openly committed to Keon , I still feel they need a back up plan.

Be delightful if he tunes in and becomes all he might become

Palmer was a gunner earlier in his career. If he gets bumped down the depth chart, I think he may play some special teams.

Palmer has a chance to be the next Hollins for us. I thought this last year before the season started to roll in. Foolishly believing Samuel, Coleman, Shakir, and Hardman/Moore would be nice mix ins with Palmer as the #4 or #3 rest spelling WR. 

 

Palmer has a dog in him, as the kids say. No cap.

Hope that makes itself apparent this season. Would be a real boost

Hes also decent on special teams I think?

 

Yes, as said elsewhere I think that's what he's primarily here for.

 

Before his first stint with the Bills I had hopes he'd do more at receiver because he'd had a career year with MIA the previous season, but for whatever reason that didn't pan out.

Bills add Lloyd Cushenberry, Austin Corbett and Trent Sherfield

I love the Cushenberry and Corbett signings!  Great value adds!

 

Sherfield - 🤮. Sherfield does not play STs and sucked at WR when he was here previously.  Zero separation, and not a useful WR for the Bills.  Would be an absolute waste of a roster spot!

I consider Cooks as a 'break glass if draft goes funny' type.

 

If BUF doesn't go WR early, expect a call from Buffalo.

Yes he does. That is what he has made his name doing.
