Bills not likely to pursue Rishard Matthews, per report
Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews is a free agent now that he has asked for and been given his release. The Buffalo Bills, with a very clear need at wide receiver, could look at the former Miami Dolphins wideout. Let’s look at the pros and cons.
Why the Bills would add Matthews
First, Matthews would be a clear upgrade to their receiver corps. He’s in his seventh year in the NFL and has played in 82 games, starting 38 (with 32 over the previous three seasons). He has more receptions (228), yards (3147), and touchdowns (21) than any receiver on the Bills roster. The Titans liked him so much, they handed him a $7.75 million extension for 2019 just over a month ago.
