The Bills have made some changes at wide receiver this week, moving Chase Claypool to IR and bringing in Damiere Byrd. A bigger name is also on Buffalo’s radar, albeit one that has not played in two years.
Former Titans top-five pick Corey Davis worked out for the Bills on Wednesday, ESPN.com’s Field Yates tweets. Davis left the Jets just before last season but revealed interest in returning to the league earlier this year.
The Jets released Davis from their reserve/retired list, opening the door for the six-year veteran to speak with other teams about a comeback. While Davis’ Jets deal did not pan out, the former MAC standout is still in his 20s (29) and looks to catch on somewhere as a presumptive auxiliary option or even a depth piece.
Davis attracted a nice Jets contract (three years, $37.5MM) after totaling a career-high 984 yards in 2020. Injuries slowed the big-bodied wideout in New York, leading to 12 missed games during the two years Davis was on the Jets’ active roster. The Jets were taking their time on an expected pay-cut agreement with Davis last year, but the 209-pound pass catcher instead retired. Evidently interested in resuming his career, Davis tried out for a team effectively resetting at the position.
In addition to Claypool, this Bills offseason included the additions of Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The team is trying some free agents as ancillary weapons, with holdover Khalil Shakir and second-rounder Keon Coleman in place as the likely lead options in Josh Allen‘s seventh season. Claypool is now out of the mix, but the Bills are still kicking tires post-Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.
Bruh bills have like 17 WRs on their roster who will make the cut haha
The core WR group appears to be set, but the depth players are not with all the camp injuries.
They need a 5th and 6th WR. The candidates haven’t been panning out.
They should try to make a trade with the Packers. They have 7 good WR and they’re all young. Their 7th best would probably be the Bills 4th best
Curtis Samuel is gonna be a steal in Fantasy Drafts I bet
I sure hope so. Samuel can be really good
Is this just to put a little pressure on MVS?
This cant be more than camp body.
Why not?
Buggalo is becoming a joke with these wideout signings. A whole team full of 4’s and 5’s
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Dumping Diggs was addition by subtraction. The production wasn’t there down the stretch; the negatives (contract and attitude) outweighed what be brought to the table. Gabe Davis wasn’t worth the money got and shakir was better anyway. Josh Allen makes Samuel’s a 2, shakir is a 2. He’s terrific. You just don’t have a clue about him because you obviously don’t actually ever watch the bills on any kind of regular basis.
You mad about it?
JA can’t fix a subpar o-line, one average reciever. Db’s not named Douglas are all awful. Milano is a chewed up piece of meat. Williams behind him is atrocious. Oh wait a 35 y/o von miller will be the answer. Jills are terrible the sooner you face it the less your wife will get beat
Folks like you are the reason we’re going to lose the next world war. We get dumber with each generation.
I served b I t ch what did you do for your country. Thats what I thought.
Between the backs, tight ends and core receivers, these are luxury players. Try them and see who is best. The Bills will work this out and will excel with the superstar QB.
