Curtis Samuel joining the Buffalo Bills qualifies as one such development.</p><p>The veteran wide receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-sign-ex-commanders-wr-curtis-samuel-3-year-24-million-contract" rel="noopener">signed a three-year, $24 million deal</a> to reunite with offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who served the same role with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and 2021. Brady and Samuel were together in Carolina for just the 2020 season, but that was Samuel’s best as a pro, when he finished with a career-high 77 catches and 851 yards to go with three touchdowns.</p><p>This was a signing the Bills had to make. They had already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-gabe-davis-3-year-39-million-contract-jaguars" rel="noopener">lost Gabe Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars</a> and don’t have much in their receiving room outside of Stefon Diggs and Khalil Shakir. Samuel is a very dynamic and versatile player who can line up anywhere on the field. He will be a solid weapon for Josh Allen and the Bills. But how he fits warrants a grade and further analysis of the signing.</p><h2><b>Grading Bills’ Curtis Samuel signing</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Bills-Curtis-Samuel-playing-for-Commanders.jpeg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Gabe Davis and Curtis Samuel are very different, the latter a more well-rounded player who can help Buffalo in ways Davis never did. The data backs it up.</p><p>Davis was mostly a field stretcher for the Bills and relied a bit too much on Allen looking for him deep. His average <a href="https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/gabriel-davis/">depth of target was 15 yards</a> downfield, according to playerprofiler.com, ranking eighth among all wide receivers. In 2022, Davis’ average depth of target was 15.2 yards and the year prior it was 13.4. Going deep is seemingly the only arrow Davis has in his quiver.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">New Jaguars WR Gabe Davis' 2023 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ReceptionPerception?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ReceptionPerception</a> profile</p><p>– 53.8% success rate vs. man coverage<br>– 76.3% success rate vs. zone <br>– 51% success rate vs. press<br>– All three marks are below the 31st percentile</p><p>Davis brings value as a vertical X-receiver who can burn downfield and… <a href="https://t.co/fqgbjojYxA">pic.twitter.com/fqgbjojYxA</a></p><p>— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattHarmon_BYB/status/1767240832220844373?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 11, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>That led to some big games from Davis. No one can forget the 201 yard, four-touchdown game he put up against the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 Divisional Round. But his style of game and role in Buffalo’s offense also led to some duds.</p><p>Davis had more games with zero yards (four) in Buffalo than he did with 100 yards (three). Because he wasn’t able to punish defenses in different ways, it allowed them to take away Davis as a deep threat and send help on Diggs to make sure he didn’t burn them, either.</p><p>Things should be different now with Samuel in his spot. Davis had a 53.8% success rate vs. man coverage in 2023, as noted by Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Sports. That ranked below the 31st percentile in his database. Samuel’s, however, finished in the 88th percentile against man coverage last season.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Curtis Samuels success rate vs man coverage was in the 88th percentile based on 3 straight seasons.</p><p>This is from <a href="https://twitter.com/MattHarmon_BYB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MattHarmon_BYB</a> of Reception Perception, he also notes that Curtis can thrive in many roles, which he will be asked to do here in Buffalo under Joe Brady.</p><p>Join me at… <a href="https://t.co/U63ZMVWU3l">pic.twitter.com/U63ZMVWU3l</a></p><p>— Thomas DeLaus (@TheThomasDeLaus) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheThomasDeLaus/status/1768404220418347209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Samuel can masquerade as the deep threat Davis was in this Bills’ offense. Though that wasn’t how he was used in Washington over the last three seasons, he was deployed in that fashion over his time in Carolina. In 2019, Samuel’s average <a href="https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/curtis-samuel/" rel="noopener">depth of target was 14.4 yards</a>, which ranked 18th among wide receivers. He registered 27 deep targets, eighth-most at the position in that department.</p><p>The problem was his quarterback play. Samuel’s target quality rating was 101st among wide receivers that season and only 62.6% of his targets were deemed catchable. That will happen when the quarterbacks throwing him the ball included an injured Cam Newton, Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke. That shouldn’t be an issue with Allen.</p><p>Samuel can win and add value in the short to intermediate passing game, too. His average depth of target was just 6.6 yards in 2023, but he still averaged 1.51 yards per route run. That’s not a great number, but considering his role and competition for targets, it’s pretty impressive. He also added 260 yards after the catch, which ranked 39th among receivers.</p><p>Davis was a really good player for the Bills, but Samuel is an upgrade over him. He also will cost Buffalo less. Davis signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jaguars that includes $24 million guaranteed. Samuel got $24 million that can go up to $30 million if he hits certain incentives over the same duration, but received only $15 million guaranteed. That’s great business by the Bills.</p><p>Buffalo needed some more versatility in their offense. They got it with Curtis Samuel. Not only that, but they got him at a discount compared to some of the other receivers who signed deals. This was a great deal for them and Samuel. Hopefully he looks even better in Buffalo on the field than he does on paper.</p><p><b>Grade: A</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

What better way than to reunite with someone from his past.</p><p>Beane was in the Panthers front office when the franchise drafted Samuel in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Moreover, Buffalo offensive coordinator Joe Brady served the same job with Carolina during the 27-year-old wideout’s last season with the team (2020-21). Samuel’s stint with Brady as his OC, which included 77 receptions, more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns, remains the best year of his NFL career.</p><p>Hence, there is reason to believe this reunion can breed favorable results in Orchard Park. Samuel earned decent numbers (62 catches for 613 yards) as a supporting option on a Commanders squad that consistently weathered offensive limitations. He now returns to his home state to work alongside one of the best quarterbacks in the league.</p><p>The Curtis Samuel signing comes after Mack Hollins already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-adds-new-josh-allen-weapon-former-falcons-raiders-wide-receiver" rel="noopener">agreed to join</a> the Bills’ revamped WR room. With Stefon Diggs, Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir all likely to be critical components of the offense next season, these additions should give Josh Allen more pass-catching weapons to utilize against the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the AFC.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

An AFC executive told ClutchPoints that Ron Rivera’s coaching tenure with the Commanders <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/silvermans-sacks-and-scrambles-ron-riveras-commanders-time-up" rel="noopener">is in hot water</a>.</p><p>On Thursday after the game, veteran receiver Curtis Samuel was asked to give his thoughts on potential changes. His comments were similar to the general vibe of the locker room according <a href="https://twitter.com/BenStandig/status/1727867477386772615" rel="noopener">to reporter Ben Standig</a>.</p><p>“That’s not why I’m here. That’s not my role. That’s not my position on the team. No matter who’s coaching us, my job is to go out there, try to make something happen and get wins for the team.”</p><p>One fan was upset after the game about the Commanders organization.</p><p>“I honestly can’t trust a single word ANYONE who wears that logo says anymore,” they said. “Seriously. New owners down to the towel person. Anytime they say anything that sounds like positivity, I’ll give them the, ‘That’s great, grandpa, now let’s get you back into bed’ treatment.”</p><p>The Commanders got 300 passing yards from Sam Howell, 53 yards rushing from Brian Robinson Jr. and 100 yards receiving from Samuel. It wasn’t nearly enough as Dak Prescott threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Cowboys to a big home win on Turkey Day.</p><p>Next up for the Commanders is a tough road test against the Dolphins.</p><p>With eight losses already on the season, it appears as if Rivera’s window with the team is closing and sooner than many fans expected.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A little fight broke out after the play though, which led to Curtis Samuel of the Washington Commanders being ejected.</p><p>Curtis Samuel wasn’t the only player who received an ejection, as the Giants’ cornerback Cor’Dale Flott was who he got into it with. There was some poking and jabbing. And it looks like <a href="https://twitter.com/JordanRaanan/status/1726321936538726829" rel="noopener">some punches were thrown</a> as well, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.</p><p>“CB Cor’Dale Flott was ejected for apparently throwing a punch in the post-TD melee. Same for Washington WR Curtis Samuel.”</p><p>Multiple players got involved in the scuffle, but the referees singled out Samuel and Flott. It was just pure chaos after Howell ran in the touchdown for the Commanders. His teammates didn’t like the hit he received when reaching for pay dirt.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Things are getting HEATED between the Giants and Commanders after Sam Howell’s touchdown 👀<a href="https://t.co/fa7gHWpCyQ">pic.twitter.com/fa7gHWpCyQ</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1726321650730225899?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 19, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>The NFL is likely to fine both Curtis Samuel and Cor’Dale Flott after their ejections. Other players could receive a fine as well, but only time will tell. The League tends to take several days before dishing out possible fines.</p><p>With that said, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-emmanuel-forbes-fined-over-15000-for-hit-on-seahawks-tyler-lockett" rel="noopener">the Commanders losing</a> Samuel is a bigger deal than the Giants losing Flott. Samuel has been a consistent target for Sam Howell. Luckily for the second-year quarterback he still has Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson to throw the ball to.</p><p>At the very least, it was an impressive run from Howell. He’s shown plenty of flashes this season and could very well be a franchise quarterback for the Commanders. With his teammates fighting for him like that, he’s definitely earned the respect in the locker room.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Washington was surprisingly a major seller at the trade deadline, moving Chase Young and Montez Sweat in two separate deals to other NFC teams.</p><p>The Commanders are in the process of evaluating whether Sam Howell can be the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-sam-howell-washington-qb1-future" rel="noopener">franchise quarterback</a> or not moving forward, and having a viable weapon like Curtis Samuel healthy and active will paint a better picture against another NFC team vying for playoff positioning in the Seattle Seahawks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
