    Injuries are definitely a big concern. But he showed he still had some skills last season. Buffalo would certainly be attractive to him. This is something that makes a lot of sense for the Bills. I dont think they would need to spend too much either.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    IDK. Watkins is made of glass and Woods is only slightly more durable. I'm not sure we need another WR who can't stay healthy.

    Hello Wagon. Lots of familiar faces here. Nice to see relevant and logical discussion about the Bills and Sabres.

    Re: Giants release Victor Cruz....

    Building the receiving corps without a decent QB just seems pointless at this juncture. The last time this team went out and landed a big-time free-agent receiver, they paid a huge sum of money on a Pro Bowl TE who now sees 2-3 targets a game.

    Are you saying it wouldn't be prudent at this juncture? :)

    I think Cruz would be as good as anyone else we currently have minus Watkins. Which of our WR's (Goodwin etc) can even play 8 games.

    league minimum with some incentives I could get on board with.

    Plus this team needs to replace Robert Woods anyway.

    Incentives would work because he'll end up being a number one WR pretty quick.

    Yeah, you can get mileage out of vet receivers with wear on them if you have a good passer, but we don't. Cruz would get brutalized and not make it far.

    Pay him Per each regular season game he plays in, I bet he won't make the league minimum.

    Clay has never made the Pro Bowl. Clay also had a team-leading 87 targets this year (in 15 games) out of 474 passing attempts, which is about 18%.

    If he had played all 16 games and gotten his typical 6 targets, it would have put him around 19.6%.
