We're glad to have him.

We used to like McKenzie similarly to this.

Measures like Gabe Davis. Maybe Davis is on notice.

Davis will have a monster season ...... the FIRE has been lit.

Bills didnt have anyone other than Diggs to stretch the field last year . As soon as D's dared us to go deep with only Diggs, our offense took a nose dive. Davis isnt a deep ball kind of receiver.
So now they bring in Deonte Harty to help Diggs out.
This guy is mostly likely Mckenzie/ Crowders replacement.

Brady and Dorsey must have been very frustrated with the deep ball last year which is their thing.

He's a couple inches shorter than Gabe, but faster.

A closer look at the contract details for new Bills receiver Trent Sherfield

‘Trent Sherfield’s new contract with the Buffalo Bills gives him the possibility to make up to $1.77 million for the 2023 season.’

Re: Bills sign WR Trent Sherfield to a 1 year deal

He's supposedly a tremendous blocker for a WR, which is probably why they signed him. He's going to be a 4th or 5th option on offense to start but you can still have him out there giving you something in the run game which isn't really something McKenzie or Shakir offer.

Meh. Another Hot Wheel to put in the toy box.

There is no way this guy covers kicks and run blocks like Kumerow, if this is supposed to replace him it's a big swing and miss.

I think we need to differentiate between the effort Kumerow gave, which was a lot, and the actual skillset he had, which was limited.

We have this weird tendency to over-inflate these minor role players as having far higher level of skills then they actually possess because we like their hustle.

In '21 Buffalo's run game kicked into gear when Kumerow was getting more time on the field, and he was getting more time because of his blocking not his receiving. Also in '21, Kumerow had more solo tackles, 5, then their 'special teams ace' Taiwan Jones, 4, and Sherfield, 2, in '22.

This guy may be a replacement for McKenzie, but he isn't for Kumerow, and maybe it's more about a tendency to over-inflate expectations for the new guy.

I don’t think they brought Sheffield on to do much with the ST unit, so that part of the comparison doesn’t really mean much.

And do you think Kumerow is somehow going to fix our running game? You mentioned how it took off in 2021, but yet we gained more yards total and per carry in 2022.

I just don’t see whatever impact you think this guy had. They basically brought him back last year because he’s a friend of Allen’s.

Re: Bills sign WR Trent Sherfield to a 1 year deal

Kumerow must have been the best practice WR in NFL history because Rodgers loved the guy too, and was PISSED when the Packers let him go to the Bills. Then the Bills loved him. He did diddly poo in his career.

It's 33.3% of the equation if you're claiming he's replacing Kumerow.

Fix it now? No, but his affect the prior season is measurable. LOL at 23 total yards difference, and the really the overall...considering Singletary's production went down and Allen stayed the same...had far more to do with having an actual third option in Cook than anything else.

I just don’t see whatever impact you think this guy had. They basically brought him back last year because he’s a friend of Allen’s.

He had a small impact, not sure how accurate the 'friends' statement is in reality, but neither one of those points is relevant to the claim Sherfield is his replacement.

He's always gets hurt whenever he's called upon to play some offense.

Or he's just the most snake bit player ever .... I can't figure out which is which.
