Slot is typically the Y receiver. But if they want to incorporate a "big slot" with Hodgins so be it.

Hodgins isn't a slot guy either. Both Hodgins and Davis are X/Z receivers.

I know. And I'm not even saying he's wrong -- I'm just sick of reading it. We all know the QB needs to take the next step, and we don't need anyone telling us we should worry about having "the next Trubisky" on the roster.

I’ll keep beating this drum until the Bills prove me wrong. I think they’ll keep 7 and reduce another position group (QB?) by one. Davis Webb isn’t going to be snatched up by anyone and is a perfect PS candidate, plus they can sweeten the pot for him to stay. The 7 will be Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis, Roberts, Hodgins, and McKenzie.

No. They have completely different skill sets. McKenzie is a quick-twitch speed guy. Neither Davis nor Hodgins are suited to those plays.

A couple of other guys already answered but Johnson is a ST fixture AND the Bills love him as a developing safety.

Really hate it for Derwin. Such a good player. Removes another obstacle from KC’s path to repeat.

I’m most intrigued by two things: the number of WRs they keep and whether they cut Murphy. I really believe they will keep 7 WRs, with Hodgins and McKenzie both making it. That extra WR spot will be mitigated by the fact McKenzie is also a backup returner and plays ST, and I think they may only keep two QBs on the active roster (Webb, and possibly Fromm, to the PS). I believe Murphy will be cut. Also, I’m pretty sure Dane Jackson will make the 53. The only draft pick I see not making the 53 is Fromm.

I think this ship has sailed...

Oh, my bad, I thought it was the standard yearbook.

The Bills went 10-6 and lost a Wild Card game at Houston in OT.

Ha. It’s so smart of Beane and shows the value of relationships with other front offices. Get a guy you want to bring in without having to hope he clears waivers for next to nothing.

What a skeptical, bitter take. And completely wrong.

When you look at the Bills cap list two names really jump out: Murphy at #4 and Kroft at #16. Those two guys eat up 7% of the Bills’ cap this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing them both go unless Kroft’s foot thing is minor.

They can watch warmups and individual work as well. They just leave when the Bills move to team sessions (11 on 11 and 7 on 7).

Gee, I didn’t read the article and I’m going to guess he said - gasp - Josh Allen! What a shocker.

Matekevich is a stone cold lock. The man looking over his shoulder is Joseph.

Hodgins is not fighting with Duke for a spot. The decision is whether they keep 7 and that means McKenzie.

10 is Fromm. I think he’s toast. Hodgins is a lock.

A) He’s a draft pick in a ridiculously deep draft for WRs. B) He has exceptional size and hands. C) Unlike Duke, he is a prime candidate for poaching if he is on the PS. D) By all accounts he grasped the playbook quickly and does not look out of place. Yes, I think he’s a lock.

This is admittedly somewhat of a guess but I’m not sure CB is all that loved by his beat reporter brethren. Over on The Athletic today some folks were trying to get Joe B and Fairburn to criticize the Bills’ policies and support CB. Fairburn said the policies seemed overly restrictive but were clear and they all got them at the same time. CB violated them in his very first on-air appearance that day. Said if the Bills had not removed him from practice they would have “had a problem” with the local media and called it an “unforced error” by CB along with his promoting the Barstool naming rights tweet (which the NFL wants no part of). Later he also noted that CB was tweeting today so he’s “out of timeout.”

Crazy. Hodgins is safe for the 53. McKenzie does more than Duke. I really think they are going to keep 7 and Duke (if lucky) goes to the PS.

That's what you like to hear about your QB.

Yup. Just traded for him (conditional 7th rounder in 2023).

FWIW Joe B. and Matt Fairburn are doing a Q&A over at The Athletic right now and they don't think Duke makes the 53. They have Hodgins there, and McKenzie might be the odd man out unless they keep 7.
