I haven't read through the 11 pages of this thread because I don't hate myself, but... Poyer, like Jordan Phillips and Dane Jackson, is almost certainly going to take up one of the six allotted veteran spots on the practice squad. Using your six allotted veteran practice squad spots on players that know the system very well and can be "break glass in case of emergency" players while also being coaches on the field seems like a very reasonable use of those spots. People trying to act like Poyer will be starting week 1, running around this forum freaking out with their hair on fire, or behaving as if the Bills did anything other than sign a veteran player to their practice squad who can give them spot starts if necessary, are being predictably silly and reactionary. Practice squad. Say it again with me: Practice squad. One more time: Practice squad. Relax.

I loved JoPo. I do think he is likely done. But I think our safety room is trash. Wouldn't shock me if he ended up on the field at some point.

Interesting but they felt stacked enough to let him go AND trade theilen today... I thought that report was nuts but Minny gave them an offer they'd have been nuts to turn down, especially considering its 1 year rental. Id kick tires on renfrow though. Feels pretty redundant in that room for us though

So much overreaction to this move here. But, I have been here for very long time, so I am not surprised. Anyway, I am not seeing the downside here. Is he washed? Probably. Will he play for us this year? Probably not. What he can be for this team though is a mentor. His physical skills may not be there anymore, but he is a true pro. He knows how to study tape. He knows where eyes need to be in all defenses. At the very least, he is a guy that can help our young room be more prepared come game day. Worst case scenario? We get riddled with injuries. And let's face it. The guys in the room are not exactly known for their durability. In a pinch, he could absolutely step in and get you out of a game or 2 if needed. Do you want him playing? Absolutely not but he knows and understands the system better than everyone in that room and while is is severely limited physically at this point, he is smart enough to mask some of those deficiencies. But yeah......we hope he never has to play and he can just be an asset in the room. Quite honestly, all things considered even with him being a broken down version of his former self, I'd rather have him on the field than Hamlin. But whatever. Don't overreact guys. Hopefully it never comes to him actually playing.

I keep finding empty bottles of Visine in the kitchen. I just assumed she'd been dicing onions. Do you put potato chips on your spaghetti also?

Too early to give up on him, IMHO. Needs more anchor. Played less than a year though. Bernard showed no more his freshman year.

People that start these threads about trading our dregs are like those people that put price stickers on everything at their garage sale and refuse to take less than $50 for a broken, used garden rake.

It's a similar crutch to try and understand why the team does things. It seems that the coaching staff does not trust Bishop and probably the rest of the safety room enough. Why else would he be here? There's been a whole off season for mentoring/learning. Not saying it's it's a death knell for Bishop but it's not ideal. We need him this year.

Thanks for posting. Knew we got him in a waiver mixup, the article fleshed it out. Good job!

We're this bad at safety eh

I can’t find footage of the punt anywhere.

I liked all the cuts. I wish there were more.

Shane has future coach written all over him. One of those guys with high football IQ, but doesn't quite have the physical tools. I wish him well.

I’d play.

I love that ball so much, it just needs one hole - if you get my drift.

Yikes..

I was surprised by Codrington. Will be interesting if he gets waived whenever Hairston comes back from IR.

Quantity over quality! Agreed. Hamlin can't do those things.

I can't really say I'm upset about any cuts. But I'll say I'm disappointed that Forrest didn't amount to much. I was kind of hoping he would turn into something here. Also, I thought Green would show enough to be trade bait and get us a late draft pick. Ultimately, we're talking about guys fighting for 3rd string spots.

I don’t know if playing football would irritate it or not, but I do think it would be very difficult for him to keep his weight at a good level over the course of a season unless it is (and stays) well under control.

I like Shane, but he's not an NFL-caliber QB. Davidson is "fine" but hardly deserving of a roster spot. So the answer is NO, I'm not surprised by any of the decisions. It will be much more interesting when Hairston and the suspensions come back.

We really need Bishop to show like he belongs this year as a starting safety, he has got to show something after Hyde being here for the playoffs and now getting in Poyer in for the whole of year two. I wonder what will happen to Justin Simmons this year.

Probably the cut I got shaving my nuts was the one I liked the least.
