Jamison Crowder is switching AFC East teams. After spending three season with the Jets, the veteran wideout is signing a one-year deal with the Bills, reports Josina Anderson (on Twitter). NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero tweets that the deal has a max value of $4MM.
After spending four seasons in Washington to start his career, Crowder inked a three-year, $28.5MM deal with the Jets in 2019. He ended up seeing time in 40 games (23 starts) during his three seasons in New York, hauling in 10 receiving touchdowns.
Between five missed games and the team making investments in Corey Davis and Elijah Moore via free agency and the draft, respectively, Crowder’s production fell off in 2021. The receiver finished last season with 51 receptions for 447 yards and two touchdowns, his lowest output during his stint with the Jets.
In Buffalo, Crowder will be joining a depth chart that lost a major piece following the release of Cole Beasley. Still, the Bills have plenty of depth at the position in Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Isaiah McKenzie, and Emmanuel Sanders.
He will finally have a real QB
A bit early to put that judgement on Zach Wilson. Jamison’s a very good slot receiver, but he was the odd man out after drafting Elijah Moore and the emergence of [first team All-Pro] Braxton Berrios, who just re-signed with the Jets.
I think it’s at least fair to say Wilson wasn’t a real QB last year.
Another very solid move for them. He’s basically always a solid slot option when he makes it to the field.
Very good WR, hope he stays healthy for the season.
Not sure he is an improvement over Beasley though.
They saved more money than this by cutting Beasley and I’d bet they bring in another receiver.
Isn’t Sanders a Free Agent? Or am I missing something
Sanders is a FA. Bills wr depth is Diggs Davis McKenzie and Kumerow. Crowder is a nice Addition but I still think another wr is needed. I would’ve said Julio but with adding Crowder I think that takes them out of that option.
Bills 1 pick will likely be a WR.
