Porous Five Hole Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 14 hours ago, Porous Five Hole said: The cap is going to make that difficult this year. The currently have 3.3M in space and that doesn’t count the need for a new kicker. I would keep an eye on Amari Cooper. His base salary is affordable and he has no guaranteed money due next year. Nailed it! 1 Quote
inkman Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 (edited) Amari Cooper is fine but he always looks like a running back playing wide receiver to me. Edited October 15 by inkman Quote

LGR4GM Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Amari Cooper is just the 2nd 1st round WR Josh Allen has ever played with if you count Kelvin Benjamin at the end of his career as anything. 1 Quote
Eli Cash Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 (edited) This is the kind of move that should fire-up that locker room. Big win in NJ last night, and then your GM demonstrates belief by addressing an obvious need. Loved JA17’s emotion after that game-clinching scramble. Hope this is the beginning of a season-defining six weeks. Edited October 15 by Eli Cash Quote
JujuFish Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Hopefully he gets better about drops. Currently leads the league. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Well this is the guy that everyone wanted and was always the only option with the salary cap. The only surprising thing to me is that the Bills actually beat out other WR needy teams. This was a great trade. 1 Quote

Night Train Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Trade is OK. He costs 750k the rest of the year. Yes, he has butter hands sometimes but can get deep. We'll see. No issues Quote

But could there possibly be 2 consecutive days that highlight the differences between the Bills and the Jest any more than these past 2? Signing Cooper as a rental for a 3rd & $800k when you have 2 2nds (plus who knows, maybe you get something else as FA loss compensation) when you desperately need an adequate WR1 vs signing Adams for a 3rd and $11MM this year and $35MM next year and $40MM the YEAR AFTER THAT when the QB you have that desperately wants him is 50-50 to even bother coming back next year. One of these things is not like the other. Quote
Brawndo Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 For 800k, Pegula would probably let Kevyn Adams make that trade 1 4 1 Quote

One of these things is not like the other. Likely a late 3rd...and they go from likely a late 7th to an early-to-mid 6th (moving up late in the draft but by almost a round-and-a-half likely) 1 Quote

So, in typical value chart calculations it's like moving up 2-1/2 rounds in a single season. Quote

While technically true, we did give up a first in the deal to acquire Diggs and he certainly displayed first round ability while here. Quote
Night Train Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Cooper does have 6 1,000 yard seasons and 62 TD's. In addition, he runs good routes. Not a 1 trick pony. 4 Quote

One of these things is not like the other. Adams is also a rental. He has an out on his contract after this year. A 3rd and $11 million for a rental Adams is not much worse than the Bills' deal, especially considering Adams already has chemistry with Rodgers and had a 1k season with Aidan O'Connell throwing him the ball, and is a better receiver than Cooper.

If he's injured he won't be better than Cooper. Quote
