Believe me I am no Duke Williams fan. But there are some teams really struggling at the bottom end of those rosters for receiver depth. Wouldn't be shocked if he got picked up.... wouldn't be shocked he didn't. Glad he won't be on this team, he isn't up to it.
Oh I agree with you. I was just putting forward what I'd do in that situation.

Duke is a NFL receiver.
He is a CFL receiver, he hasn't shown he is an NFL receiver

That was before he had any playing time in actual NFL games.
His games haven't helped him.

I agree, totally. But I can see someone... a bottom feeder.... taking him for the bottom of the roster. They might not, and he might be back.
So your basically reminding us how bad the Jets WRs are. OK, yes, that's plausible. But if you want a big WR who has done nothing, why not sign Hakeem Butler, who is younger and more unknown.

Why would this be the case when the reports out of camp are nothing but positive in terms of his performance and work ethic? "Bless his heart" were the terms Sal used.
It's over. Move on. The next Brandon Reilly / Duke Williams is waiting for you

I suspect they don't think Duke will be there for them to PS. Suspect they think he gets picked up.
Why would he get picked up? He has nothing in the 4 years since he left college to suggest he is NFL standard

Sounds good. Guy must of really flashed to keep him over some of the other players released.
Sounds like someone who could be gone in 48 hours once waivers for all teams go through and the Bills put in claims

This team will always have a blocking TE. The only question is: who it will be. Smith looks like the guy
Until Sweeney develops when you suspect they might move on

So the 1 last interesting thing is the QB situation, Webb or Fromm

I don't think they plan to work him on the field over Beasley Brown and Diggs or return instead of Roberts. Diggs can run reverses and jet sweeps.
But if one of those guys goes down, they want a guy who can fill in.
You'd suspect he would be inactive most weeks but useful if you need a WR and one goes down injured

I'd argue the opposite is true, the praise for Duke is way over the top for what he's actually accomplished and makes no sense. The only reason you're even seeing over the top criticism is because there's so much ridiculous amount of praise for him and constantly seeing new threads praising a guy who's done next to nothing in four seasons in the league.
Absolutely.
Williams is like Reilly before him. The fairytale story you hope comes true despite not being based on any evidence.
Williams is just another guy on the conveyor belt, next year it'll be someone different, and the year after that someone different again, the idol of wishful hopes and dreams.

Not surprising. On waivers you have to take on the contract. Let him clear and someone gets him cheaper

Kamara doesn't have a single 1000 yard season on his resume.
Bell is a shell of himself.
Henry is one dimensional.
You don't have to agree with it, but it's how I see it.
Bell is fine, he's stuck behind the worst line in football. Given he has always been a runner who waited for gaps to develop then he suffers more than anyone when the line is bad.
Kamara is more than just yards on the ground.
Henry's 1 dimension almost took the Titans to the SuperBowl.
If you post bold provocative claims, don't expect they won't go unchallenged. The evidence is overwhelmingly against your argument

It shouldn't need saying... but yes.
For the record, I rounded the yards in Duke Williams favour to make him look good. It's 25.8 so really I should have said 26. But I thought the Duke Williams fans would get annoyed.

Why aren't you saying this about John Brown? Duke made several key catches in that game that no one else on the roster last year would have made, and it's like everyone forgets it because he failed to make a spectacular catch in the end zone. The criticism of Duke Williams is over the top and makes no sense.
Because John Brown has 25 times as many yards and 28 times as many TDs in the league as Duke Williams.

He's big. He gets open despite not having break away speed. Excellent route running skills and great hands.
So why, 4 whole seasons after he left college does he have 1 TD and less than 200 yards in the NFL?

I said elite backs, not "good, 3 down starters". There's a difference.
If you want a true superstar at the position, you will usually have to draft them early.
Kamara, Henry and Bell are not superstars?
Yeah, OK........
Admit it, you made a bold claim and didn't expect people to challenge you.

I think you can find decent backs in the 3rd and later, but elite dual threat backs will always go early.
I'd argue the top 3 are McCaffery, Zeke & Saquon - all top 8 picks.
ALWAYS?
Look at the current RBs who went Day 2 or later.
Bell, Henry, Cook, Mixon, Kamara, Jones, Lindsay, Conner, Ingram, Carson, Drake.......
Most of those are round 3 and later, some undrafted.
They can go early but a lot of good, 3 down starters at RB come via later rounds

I think we missed an opportunity here.. Would have been nice to have him opposite of Epenesa for the next 5-6 years... A 2nd and a 5th ain’t much for a perennial 10 sack a year DE... but Beane knows more than I.... I trust the process.. DE will probably be a high priority position for us in next year’s draft...
We dodged a massive cap problem.
His contract will be huge.

right. By adding talent at a more premium position. And likely acquiring a high comp pick as Milano would count and YN doesn’t.
it wouldn’t have been crazy. And Milano has a good chance of being gone regardless.
Very very unlikely we'd get a comp pick for Milano. We'd need more departures and arrivals to even get any picks and that doesn't seem realistic.

Classy move to release the vet NOW, rather than later. Gives him a chance to catch on elsewhere...
More likely its simply a case of a pre season with very limited reps so they had to make a decision

Flacco is way better than Barkley. You don't need to go back 5 years. Last year will do.
Barkley is a bottom end backup who Bills fans have a rose tinted view on because his career best day was his Bills debut. That was the exception. What we saw last year is the rule.
Flacco's movement is horrific. Behind anything but a league leading O line he is done. Behind the Jets O line, you may as well use a running back and play the wildcat

Barkleys performances are no worse than those of Geno, Henne, Daniel. Is that of a good backup? Maybe not, I wouldn't want any starting. But if Barkley is 27, those other 3 should be at best 24 to 26.

We all can agree, NFL games are won and lost by field position and points. A bad punt can leave your defense with a short field. A missed 55 yd field goal - no points.
This team is ready to win, and winning requires good field position and points.
Keep Bass as our long field goal kicker...anything over 50 yards, he comes on the field.
Keep Hauschka for the 20-40 yd field goals...he's money.
Keep Bojorquez for shorter punts when you need the ball placed inside the 15 yd line or when there's a southeasterly wind at the stadium (to crate a cross wind with his left foot).
Keep Edwards for longer punts and drop kicks. He's Australian and they utilize the drop kick a lot in that league. Would be a nice wrinkle for the Bills and can score points.
Thoughts?
As ideas go this is one of the worst I've read in quite a while
