or wondering if it will happen. #1, the Bills have to release him first and then we could see where things go. #2 the Giants would need to move quickly to sign him as he will have interest around the league- LAV, NE, DEN, HOU all could be in play there.
Sure what he adds that Jeff Smith or Parris Campbell can't do - right now, I mean. Insurance for Wan'Dale is one thing but with him back, they may already have six receivers and that's before the draft.
A 1-year, incentive based deal is fine but I wouldn't give any guarantees.
Slayton
Hodgins
Robinson
Campbell
Shepard
Smith
Sills/Collin Johnson
I fully expect them to draft at least one wide receiver, but I'd prefer two.
Does LPG actually know anything? Does he have sources?
It's decision time for the Buffalo Bills in regards to wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie's status.
McKenzie is due a $250,000 roster bonus Friday as he heads into the final year of his contract. If paid out, it increases the likelihood McKenzie will stick on the roster at least through training camp – it wouldn't make much sense to pay out that much money only to release him without a fair shot at making the team.
After the Bills reached a contract agreement Wednesday with receiver Deonte Harty, however, McKenzie's role with the Bills going forward is in question. Harty, a 5-foot-6, 170-pounder, has a similar skill set to the 5-8, 173-pound McKenzie. The Bills could save $2.217 million in cap space and take just a $300,000 dead money cap hit if they released McKenzie before his roster bonus is paid.
RE: Does LPG actually know anything? Does he have sources?
He's going to be 28 in April and is pretty decent. But to me he isn't an impressive STer and is redundant with Wan'Dale healthy (as insurance fine, but they do have Shepard, Smith and Campbell too).
Campbody, He has had a very unproductive career, he is nothing to get excited about if he blocks us from bringing a young WR with potential it makes no sense.
No thank you.
RE: Does LPG actually know anything? Does he have sources?
Is this a real question? Say what you will about the guy personally, but there's no question he knows a ton of people in the organization. He's at literally every team event possible. I don't know how the guy does it.
wondering about the slot receiver thing, keep in mind that Schoen is on record as saying any receiver they really want has to be able to play all of the positions.
They want to create match-up problems and keep defenses guessing.
Agree that we could have bundled some of the money

last year both slayton and hodgins played in the slot a good amount despite being thought of as outside receivers. slayton was 30% on the year which was his highest as a pro and hodgins was more like 15% but had some games where he was there up to 40% of the time.
they definitely want players with the flexibility to play anywhere on any given play to make it harder for defenses to match up effectively.

spent the WR's to bring in a stud CB like Byron Murphy (instead he signed with the Vikings), Slay, Bradbury or a LB.
The draft is deep in WR's.
We have a run and shoot offense of smaller, quicker receivers all running in different directions it seems.
Yeah, it seems like they're throwing feces up there to see what sticks... both Joe and 'Blue Horseshoe'... But it's still early. Lots of offseason yet to go.

Disagree to an extent. Both those corners are getting older. Giants like what they have in Flott and have the draft to get another young corner.

Schoen has mentioned a few times that they care more about versatility inside & outside along with separation compared to height.

It seems like they are really emphasizing speed with now with Campbell, Waller and Slayton - and McKenzie would add another dimension to that
those on this post are speculating about a receiver from Buffalo, let me give you some real information about another Buffalo receiver and the Giants:
Today the Giants coaches are at the University of Buffalo to check out WR Justin Marshall. He is expected to weigh in about 210 pounds and be 6'2" and we hear more about his other skills and tests.
Marshall was previously at Louisville, but transferred for his final college year at Univ of Buffalo.
He can return punts and kicks and play the slot. Valuable player in that regard. The Dolphins signed him. Good deal for them. We need another veteran receiver and one in the Top 2 rounds of the draft in about 6 weeks (can't believe it's that close!). The WR situation likely won't be fixed until next off-season.
My guess Wan'dale and Shepard start the season on the PUP.
And injuries happen in camp. Guaranteed by the start of the season at least one other WR won't be healthy. And Collins is just coming back let's see what he has or is he another potential PUP?
3 days into the new league year and BBI hates every move made, any moves rumored to be made and any moves that haven’t been made.
Good times!
Oh, puh-leeze. That's simply not true. Besides the fact that "BBI" isn't one single entity, most of the moves that have been made thus far have been well-received by the majority of posters.
Have there been a few naysayers? Absolutely. There always are, just as there are those who will instantly applaud anything and everything. Have there been differences of opinion. Yup, but differences of opinion aren't "hate," except to the infantile. Discussion is why we're here, and discussion will breed differences of opinion. This would be a pretty boring place if everyone marched in lockstep.
is very unlikely to make it back in a consistent capacity until late in the season, and the likelihood the group of WRs stays fully healthy is highly unlikely.
McKenzie if signed would assuredly mean Richie James isn't coming back at all as suspected even with Campbell addition.
I'm not sure I see the fit, and there could be a few teams that would offer McKenzie bit more of an immediate shot than just a chance to be "separating from the bunch" we have.
RE: This acquisition would mean that Wan’dale’s rehab is not going well
He tore his ACL around Thanksgiving - even if his rehab is going well, he wouldn't be ready for game action until September/October. I don't think signing McKenzie would mean anything wrt Wan'dale's recovery.

Not only that and i dont think Wandale is jumping back in at 70% of snaps. No matter if its october, november december, etc

Yes he called the Slayton signing
He has relationships with players for sure.
Is this kid any good?

This is a group that has a lot of injury question marks. So perhaps it's not so bad if it happens.
According to Spotrac he is due a roster bonus today. $250K
No thank you.

And a lot of license plates

JSN or addison in round 1 prob fit that bill.

Likely a Day Three pick.

Disagree IMO they want to continue to add speed and have multiple options on the field, also deeper in health per position too.
