It sounds like he's having problems with his foot. Wonder how bad it is?

Last year I really thought Coleman wouldn't make it through training camp. His body language looked like he was just going through the motions and ready to get cut. He and Fleener were both lazy looking and didn't seem to match the intensity on the rest of the team.

Coleman did surprise me last year as the #4 receiver but like Josh Hill I think he has maxed out and there is better talent out there.

Actually, we may very well have already acquired it!

I think Hill lasts only as long as he is cheap. No real improvement shown year to year. Counting $2.6 against the cap might be his undoing if the Michael H can get healthy

He is still under contract to the Bills through 2017. The fifth year option has to be declared in May prior to the fourth year. The Bills will still have the option of signing him to an extension if he stays healthy.

I had to bring this thread back to life. NFL network featured the Saints passing attack last week and analysts mentioned how TG Jr could easily get off against bump/run and blocks downfield in 2016. Cooks was marginal at best in either department. I just find it hard to believe that some think Ted won't be able to help this ball club in this offense.

He's also dangerous on special teams (kick off/punt returns).
