Re: Curtis Samuel WR to Bills

I would have rather had Floyd back for that kind of money. Or kept Morse.

Ian Rapoport on Monday reported San Francisco is signing veteran defensive end Leonard Floyd to a two-year deal. Rapoport reported the contract is worth up to $24 million with $12 million guaranteed in 2024.

Not me.

We already have suitable replacements for both of them (Epenesa and McGovern) with little drop off....both much younger.

The clear need is on offense and in particular at WR. Samuel is a substantial upgrade over Davis.

The Bills should still draft a WR in the first two rounds.

Re: Curtis Samuel WR to Bills

They pretty much made it so they can get a guy other than receiver with this move probably too in my opinion. WR isn't a big impact player grab in the draft either we are going somewhere else and looking at guys who drop.

Defense needs a lot of help ...

Re: Curtis Samuel WR to Bills

Samuel can definitely fly.. (4.31 at the Combine back in 2017).

But he's only broken 700 yards once in his career.

Seems like a great deal of money for waiting for someone to have their breakout year.

But then, look at what Gabe Davis got.

Re: Curtis Samuel WR to Bills

I guess Beane wasnt kidding when he said he wanted players that are ready to play NOW. No only does Sammuel have experience, but he has experience and had his best year under Brady .

It's Bradys offense now and McDermott is letting him have the weapons he wants.

Samuel career targets: 485
Samuel career catches: 317

Career catch % : 65.4

Gabe targets: 299
Gabe catches: 163

Career % : 54.5

Diggs career catch % for reference: 68.8

Take this for what it’s worth

They may be looking at potential with his speed in our offense with Josh throwing to him considering he had nothing but bums, backups and has beens as his QBs during his entire tenure in the league to date.

We still definitely need to draft a guy 1-2 but this guy could be a great fit.

Re: Curtis Samuel WR

Don’t like this signing. 5’ 11” . I know they need a slot guy but this guy isn’t known for separating so he will play slot but IMO. They need tall dudes that can get downfield and come down with it. This guy will be in Shakir’s lane.

draft a tall dude with wheels dammit. Little clown car guys don’t work well with Josh. I will say that his hands seem better than Hardy and McKenzie and Stevenson

lots of money for carbon copies of Crowder.

Replacement for Diggs not Davis me thinks.

The ceiling must be high with the QB talent this kid was playing with.
