Alright, let’s talk about what I looked into today. The news about Jonnu Smith heading to the Buffalo Bills caught my eye, so I spent some time digging into it, just figuring out what it all means.
My Process: Making Sense of the Jonnu Smith Move
So, first thing, I saw the headlines popping up. You know how it is, scrolling through sports news. “Jonnu Smith signs with the Bills.” My first thought was, “Okay, that’s interesting.” Didn’t see that one coming right away.
Naturally, the next step was to just confirm it. I hopped around a few places I usually check for football news, just making sure it wasn’t some rumor. Looked official pretty quickly. Confirmed: Jonnu Smith is a Bill.
Then I started thinking, “How does this fit?” They already have Dawson Knox, who they paid decent money, and Dalton Kincaid, their first-round pick from last year who looked pretty good. So, bringing in another tight end like Smith? Felt like they must have a specific plan.
So, I kinda went into my own little analysis session. Here’s what I did:
- Looked back at Smith: I remembered him from the Titans, then the Patriots, and most recently the Falcons. Pulled up his basic stats from last season with Atlanta. Pretty productive year for him there, actually. Seemed like he bounced back a bit.
- Thought about his skills: What I recall most about Smith is his athleticism. The guy can run after the catch, pretty dynamic with the ball in his hands. He’s not just a stand-still blocker type.
- Considered the Bills’ offense: Okay, Josh Allen needs weapons, especially after losing some guys this offseason. Maybe they want more two-tight end sets? Kincaid is more of a big receiver, Knox is solid all-around. Smith adds a different kind of threat. Could be good in the red zone too.
- Pondered the ‘Why’: Why Smith specifically? Maybe they liked his contract situation after he was released by the Falcons. Seemed like a relatively low-risk signing for a guy who has shown flashes of being a real playmaker.
After running through those points, it started making a bit more sense. It wasn’t just adding a random body. They likely see him as a specific piece to make their offense more versatile. It feels like a move to add more juice, more options for Allen.
You wonder how the snaps will shake out between Kincaid, Knox, and Smith. That’ll be something to watch in training camp. But having too many capable pass-catchers isn’t usually a bad problem to have, right?
So, yeah, that was my little dive into the Jonnu Smith signing. Started with the news, did a quick confirmation, thought about the existing players, looked back at Smith’s game and recent performance, and tried to figure out the team’s thinking. My final take for now? It’s a potentially smart, depth-and-versatility move for Buffalo. We’ll have to wait and see how they actually use him come September, but I get the logic behind it. Looking forward to seeing it play out on the field.
