    Courtney ****ing Anderson got a two-year deal!!!
    You guys are all assuming that we had no interest in him. Maybe he didn't want to play for Buffalo? Maybe he turned down our invitation to visit?

      A big reason they signed Muhammed is to provide leadership, and Jarrett was the player they had in mind to be led. I think they hope he shows Jarrett what it takes to be a pro. It is a package deal.

        Hackett is a slot receiver, not an outside guy.

        Not all WRs are the same. The Bills already have slot guys in Reed and Parrish, what they need are outside guys.

          It's not uncommon for guys that were just signed to be let go. My point is that they aren't going to release a guy who they just drafted and gave up a high pick for.

            Agreed...I think it is a big wake up call to Jarrett that nothing in this league is a given. Jarrett will probably be the 4th WR this year. With Hackett's injury history I doubt they will get rid of anyone. Plus, Muhammed is not that expensive either.

                Then we should all panic and over-react to not signing an injury prone slot WR who does not fill our need at WR.

                  Hackett was not a good fit for the Bills. We're looking for a WR with the potential to have a long and fruitful career, not a one hit wonder.

                  We're not a contender looking for a missing piece people. Build thoughtfully and carefully not hasitly.

                    No? WR Mike Williams ring a bell? Troy Williamson? Jeff Faine?

                    Plus, he was a second rounder, not that high of a pick. I agree it's uncommon, but not impossible.

                      Hackett was a STARTER last year with Seattle when he was averaging close to six catches a game and a TD every other game.

                          The guy's only 26 and was getting better every year!

                            At the wrong position though.

                            The Bills don't need a slot WR. They need an outside WR.

                                Especially a WR who was trying to up his worth in FA but who's first priority was to sign with his old team.

                                Hackett's true worth was definitely revealed.
