    Little to no risk signing. I can dig it.

    I like it. He played pretty well for the Bills when he saw the field last year.

    6' 4", averaged 18.9 yds per reception from Tyrod Taylor last year (albeit only 10). Height/Speed receiver. Not a massive signing, but will help solidify the receiving corps. I'm okay with it, although I haven't seen any numbers thrown around.

    Check that box on draft needs/wants.

    Seen him a lot in college. Even met the kid. I thought he would be a lot better than he has shown. All the talent in the world. Freakish athlete. If he can play to half his potential, then we got a steal. He hasn't played with a great qb yet so I hope that is the missing element

    I know nothing about this guy, but judging by the comments here we got value. That`s what our management looks for. Sounds good.

    Basically a nice insurance policy to have when we are dealing with Martavis suspension/history and Coates mangled fingers.

    6-4 4.4 speed, whats not to like, good route runner who gets seperation, and has good hands, he is the insurance to stretch the field in case problem child bryant doesnt make it back, if bryant does make it to camp two fast 6-4 receivers can cause problems for defenses.....

    This is exactly what I thought when I read about the signing.

    Maybe they can put 'CASE' on the back of his jersey, instead of HUNTER. Get it? :lolol:

    Does this reshuffle your draft boards? Sa some mocks that had them taking a WR in the first.

    I like the signing. Has more upside than downside.

    Similar to when we picked up DHB.

    Hopefully playing with Ben will show off why Hunter was considered an excellent talent coming out of the University of Tennessee.

    lol what? I think that was if they didn't sign AB long term. They better not draft a WR with their 1st pick. First 2 picks need to be focused on the defense.

    It was on Nfl.com yesterday. Had them taking Mike Williams I believe his name was at 30.

    I think this is a good signing for the team. He's a nice big target for Ben, who can actually catch. I have ZERO faith in Coates and I'm very skeptical about how Bryant is going to come back after a year away.

    I thought the kid would be a stud coming out of college but he's shown no ability to play at a high level whatsoever. He's not going to ever reach even half his ability. He's a depth player, nothing more.

    I think he's already an upgrade over Coates. I really liked Hunter coming out of college. Maybe Richard Mann can do for him what Munch has done for some of our offensive linemen and turn the light on for him!
