He shouldn't "close the door on Cooks" but I think the door should probably be closed on Cooks anyway. Cooks was a legit receiver in his day, albeit at the end of his career now. But at age 33, all signs point to "toast": 11 targets and 5 receptions in 115 snaps Sheffield is your basic career journeyman, 9 year vet with 2 seasons that broke 100 receiving yards (his rookie season, 200 yds; 2022 in MIA 400 ish). Plays a lot of ST and as much as he's on the field, probably does a lot of blocking. Edited March 27 by Beck Water 2 Quote
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 7 hours ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Can't help but wonder if Sheffield closes the door on Cooks. Trent Sherfield's stats since he left here are as follows: 2024: 8 catches for 83 yards and 1 TD 2025: 3 catches for 21 yards and 1 TD Trent Sherfield in no way effects *anything* at WR. He's a Camp Body. Quote
folz Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Just for reference: Sherfield played 31.9% of Denver's ST snaps last season (Note, he was only there for 10 games, started the season in Arizona---so obviously the snap count would be higher had he been there for all 17 games---if you pro-rate it out to 17 games, he would have played approx. 54.23% of ST snaps, at the same rate) In 2024, he played 49.11% of Minnesota's special teams snaps. In 2023, he played 34.88% of the Bills' special teams snaps. In 2022, he played 40.40% of Miami's STs snaps. He has become a pretty good gunner and blocker. Don't expect to see him catch many passes.

He was just another free agent WR bust. 13 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: Bills add Lloyd Cushenberry, Austin Corbett and Trent Sherfield So, Corbett is part of the continuing Carolina connection, Cushenberry the new Denver connection and Sherfield the frequent return of former players. Try something different Beane. Steal a free agent from the Chiefs. Edited March 27 by BobbyC81 1 Quote
artmalibu Posted March 27 Posted March 27 They will bring 90 players into camp to cut 37 of them. You dont need to fall in love with all of them..... 1 2 Quote

No_Matter_What Posted March 27 Posted March 27 13 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Grable ia their swing tackle. 100%. And he is more than good enough if he can stay healthy. How can you be so sure? Honest question. I had to google since I barely remember him playing, and he played 146 snaps over the last two years. That doesn't seem like a sample size to be that convinced. Quote
dave mcbride Posted March 27 Posted March 27 15 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: Bills add Lloyd Cushenberry, Austin Corbett and Trent Sherfield With the signing of Corbett, the Bills now have four of the top 33 picks of the 2018 draft (corbett was the first pick of the second round). I feel like Tremaine is the one who got away this offseason! 1 Quote

I had to google since I barely remember him playing, and he played 146 snaps over the last two years. That doesn't seem like a sample size to be that convinced. It is, without doubt, a small sample size. But he has been dominant in pre-season action and then the tape of his limited regular season snaps looks very like the pre-season tape to me. Not as dominant because the opposition is better, but all the fundamentals that excite you on the tape are the same. Good feet, knows how to use his length, bends nicely at the hips which means his balance is consistent. And then add to the tape that two years in a row he beat out Van Demark going into the season. He hasn't stayed healthy unfortunately so Vandy has ended up playing in games Grable would have played in. But we saw that Vandy is a serviceable NFL tackle and he just got paid that way by another team too. The Bills (including Kromer who is as good of a judge of OL as there is) have twice concluded Grable is better. 1 1 Quote

Paup 1995MVP Posted March 27 Posted March 27 15 hours ago, billsfan89 said: Sherfield is a marginal WR, he's at best a camp body who is pushing for a vet PS spot. Unless he turns back time to being an ST ace he's got very little chance to make the 53 but I don't hate having an experienced hand in camp. Corbett and Cushenberry are very interesting signings. Corbett likely should be brought in to compete with Anderson at guard. Cushenberry is very interesting largely because he is such a reclamation project. He was one of the biggest free agency centers of all time when he signed a contract with the Titans in 2024 and despite not largely playing a good chunk of games. Very cheap competition and interior O-line is a good thing, Sherfield a marginal player but it doesn't hurt. Good moves on the two O lineman. Guys who have started that many games in the NFL have some ability. Wasn't Corbett the starting center on the Rams Super Bowl team in 2021? As for Sherfield, ugh!! Is Wilkerson and Cain still on the 90 man roster? They both have more athleticism than Sherfield and better hands. Can Sam Franklin play WR? LOL Quote
Dillenger4 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Corbett is a sneaky good signing. Remember when McGovern had his concussion issues last season? There was talk that he was going to miss a game and maybe more. I was freaking! Then there was talk of him retiring. Bills gave McGovern a new contract which surprised me but I'm happy. IF he were to go down, we have a solid backup. That's huge. 1 Quote
Jerome007 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I was wondering the reasoning of losing VDM for an extra 700K, but they probably signed all these 3 guys combined for less, so smart move by Beane. 2 OL with starter credentials, that's pretty good! 1 Quote
GunnerBill Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) The people convinced that the Bills only cycle through guys they know because McDermott was here are about to get a shock. It's just the way of the NFL and we don't notice it as much because we are not focussed on the bottom end of the 53 and the practice squads of 31 other teams. But it happens league-wide. People cycle back to guys they know. Sherfield won't be the last before the 2026 season is out. Edited March 27 by GunnerBill 1 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Two internal lineman who start signed at the same time....seems interesting. Former 2nd and 3rd round picks, both have made good money in the NFL, wonder what the Bills deal is and if Beane is planning on a potential trade of one of them. Also, it makes me wonder what they think of Sedric VPG... Quote

Probably means Grable being looked at only as a Tackle now as Corbett doesnt come here without thinking he’s got a decent chance at starting. Also wouldn’t surprise me if Van pran granger is traded before draft day. Quote
