Good for him. We've got Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, James Cook, and Duke Johnson. We're more than set at RB. Willing to bet if there were an injury to one of the top 3 RB's, they'd have called up Duke Johnson first anyways.

😆

You cannot tell me that this is anything but a troll post and/or that you're not someone who just enjoys being a contrarion.

Yeah, no, just play Crowder more.

They aren't going to worry about Edmunds replacement until they have to replace him, if they do. And as for Martinez, he was reportedly released for not getting along with the new Giants regime. That new Giants regime being Beane's former right hand man Joe Schoen who he is still very close to and Brian Daboll. If there were issues behind the scenes, Beane is aware of them and if he was an issue to Schoen, I doubt Beane would want to take him on or be the one to offer him a life raft.

The use of past tense in "hosted" instead of "are hosting" is interesting. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but to me it implies he left without a contract. Wonder if Kern is just playing hardball in negotiations and they're still keeping their options open. Because it would appear to me that if Kern is out, Martin is a no-brainer.

1. Marquez Stevenson (or maybe Baylon Spector) 2. Cam Lewis 3. Bobby Hart or Greg Van Roten

Everyone's assuming he had multiple options of Practice Squads. It's quite possible he didn't. Or that the options he had were on much lesser teams or WR cores that were less likely for him to get playing time if someone were to go down.

But wait - I thought there was "no way" we'd be able to get Isaiah Hodgins and Raheem Blackshear on the Practice Squad? 😆

He reminds me of Robert Woods and not just because he wears #10.

Yes. Let's cut not one but two of our core Special Teams players for two guys who can't play Special Teams or even will be active on Game Day for their positions. 🙄

Not really. 7th Round Picks are a long shot to make any solid roster.

Not like it's the first time we cut him. He needed to prove he could play Special Teams adequately if he were to make the 53 under Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Crowder, and Shakir. He couldn't do that.

No, I don't think I am. They could have easily just said nothing and addressed the release after practice. They specifically told the media that they should let it be known he is still a member of the team. Also...

Yes, but they also told the media that they should let it be known he is still on the roster as of practice. Would seem odd that they'd tell them to say he's still a member of the team and then an hour later say he's not a member of the team.

So they specifically told Media to let it be known that he is still on the roster as of the start of practice. Would they tell them to say that just to say he was off the roster after practice?

Originally, practice was going to be at 3 and McDermott was going to speak before Practice. Then they said Practice was going to be moved to 4 bc they got in late and McDermott would still speak before Practice. Then they said Practice would be at 4, but McDermott would now speak post Practice. I think this speaks volumes that they're trying to get all their ducks in a row before McDermott speaks again. Which is sad because he should just be focusing on Practice and Beane should be speaking.

He wants the Bills to release Araiza and is putting pressure on them to do so because the Bills doing that would presume his guilt and assist his case. As I mentioned in an earlier post, doing so would also open them up to a Civil Case from Araiza's attorney's for hindering his case if he were to be found guilty. While I understand the sentiment behind fans saying "cut him now", it's not that simple. Atm I think their only recourse would be to place him on a Team Leave Suspension until the case has settled itself and then go from there.

Given that the alleged incident occured Pre-Draft, he can't be placed on the NFL Exempt list. And to release him now before the case plays out will presume guilt and hinder his case - which could open the Bills to lawsuits themselves. We're kind of stuck. Maybe they can place him on some sort of Team Leave until the process plays out. Maybe they can release him and specifically state it's only for not making them aware of the issue Pre-Draft. But it's tricky. It's not as cut and dry to simply release him as many are suggesting.

You were saying?

We're 3 and a half hours from Kickoff and Matt Araiza is the only Punter on this team. They haven't made any announcement regarding us signing another Punter. At this point, it's definitely looking like he's playing.

Well, damn. According to this article the Bills have known about this for weeks and still went ahead and released Matt Haack and gave Araiza the job. They must have some information that they feel paints all of this in a different light.

I can't see the NFL or the Buffalo Bills allowing someone being sued and criminally investigated for Rape on the field.

Obviously this isn't the biggest issue at play here. But we have a game today. Who is going to Punt? Are they going to put him on the field tomorrow?
