The Bills are largely set at WR.
After the Raiders lost Henry Ruggs to that horrible drunk driving incident where his negligence killed that woman and her dog, they have a huge need for speed at WR.
Ouch. Now I'm wondering who's being facetious here.
Why?
It's not complicated to connect the dots here.

He has no idea where he's going since teams can't talk to him.

Vegas vs. Buffalo; careless rear-ending sportscar death vs. need for speed. MAybe I was being facetious

1. A couple of years ago, the Raiders spent the 11th overall pick on Henry Ruggs, a blazing fast WR out of Alabama.
2. Last year, Ruggs drove drunk and killed a woman as a result.
3. Ruggs is currently incarcerated and likely will spend substantial time in prison. The Raiders released him.
4/ To help offset the loss of Ruggs, they signed 30 something year old Desean Jackson. He is far from a long term answer to the problem of speed at WR.
5. Chark, a WR was timed at 4.36 in the 40, which qualifies as fast by most objective measures. Chark is currently a free agent and is TEN (10) years younger than Jackson.
6. Based upon his speed and his youth, he represents the potential longer term replacement for the incarcerated Ruggs.
Conversely, Buffahole (which you specifically introduced into the conversation), with Stephon Diggs and Gabriel Davis starting at WR, are comparatively set at WR. They don't have the level of need at WR that the Raiders have. They are likely moving on from thirty something slot guys Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders. But Chark is NOT a slot WR. There are slot WRs available that likely won't cost what Chark would command in free agency. This is why I would not be as concerned if Chark was hanging out in Buffahole.
Get it now?

Thanks, but I got it from the start. I was merely making light of the fact that three Jags teammates were reportedly seen whooping it up in Vegas, not an uncommon occurence like it would be if it happened in Buffalo.
With how bad the FA WR class is shaping up to be I think that re-signing chark has to be paramount right now.
Not sure why we haven't inked him yet.

I have a sinking feeling about this free agency period. I sincerely hope it's my accustomed Jaguars pessimism.
all weekend long....oh hey, phone update....welp.....another update?.....welp.....welp.....welp.
Don't bother hoping, folks. Just sit back, wait for the cards to be dealt, then look to see if you were dealt 2-7 offsuit.

I don't like this. If Chark is gone, we're screwed. Outside of a trade, there is nothing left.

no, but if that's where you want to go, doesn't hurt to be in town come Monday. He can always book a ticket anywhere else if they wanna outbid his team of choice.

You mean the guy coming off Lisfranc surgery and the other guy coming off surgery for a torn achilles? Gotcha.

Eye roll emojis are the only way I've ever heard to convey sarcasm in a written message. If that means I got "whooshed," so be it.
Chark to lions 10 mil
The fact he’s gone there for that low tells me how little he wanted to be back in jax
Choosing a 1 year deal with goff over Trevor doesn’t seem like good business. But good luck to him
Crazy he signed a one year deal for 10 mil and we paid kirk what we did. I think chark has higher upside than kirk.
And now I'm reminded we signed zay jones to a bigger contract than chark signed.
