He didn't officially visit until Friday night with a game less than two days away. Beane doesn't make anything official until all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and he has to have a physical and pass COVID protocols. Given all that, I didn't expect any announcement until Monday at the earliest.

I don't count ESPN as "hate". Every single one of their shows is CNN v. Fox News sharing a channel. They clearly go out of their way to have debates and half the time I don't believe that the person debating their points actually believes said points.

"Real Deal" might be pushing it. That said, it seems like every week we're playing teams when they're starting to get hot and/or healthier. It's getting old quick.

With John Brown out a minimum of 3 weeks - I'm more open to the idea of putting in a claim for Stills. But I doubt he makes it to our waiver priority.

I'd *consider* trading him for Kyler Murray or Joe Burrow straight up. But that's about it and I'd probably still not pull the trigger. Patrick Mahomes comes with a contract that would decimate our salary cap. Russell Wilson is the same plus over 6 extra years of wear and tear on the tires.

One name that I remember being incredibly excited we signed was Lawyer Milloy. He was a shock cut less than a week before Week 1 of the season, signed here a few days before the game, and then played a big role in us defeating his former team New England 31-0.

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just *doesn't* belong.

They wouldn't use an elevation and then make him inactive and waste it. No way you'll see them ever do that. On the ST point - I have to imagine he at least plays some as a fringe WR. Though I don't know his proficiency.

With all of our WR's healthy and injuries elsewhere - it's a bit of a head scratcher to activate Jake Kumerow this week. Though I am interested to see him play. Will they have 7 active WR's on gameday or does someone take a seat?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Vic Beasley more of 3-4 Pass Rushing OLB than a 4-3 OLB?

With the Active Roster sitting at 52 with one open spot and the Practice Squad maxed at 17, there's gonna be a lot of cuts coming up: - Have to open a spot on the 53 for CB Levi Wallace - Have to open a spot on the 53 for LB Del'Shawn Phillips - Have to open a spot on the 53 or Practice Squad for LB Darron Lee - Have to open a spot on the 53 for TE Dawson Knox when he comes off the COVID List - Have to open a spot on the Practice Squad for TE Nate Becker when he comes off the COVID List - Potentially have to open a spot on the 53 or Practice Squad for CB Daryl Worley - Have to open a spot on the 53 for LB Tyrel Dodson following the bye

No way they'd trade an impact player to a division rival. Only way that's possibly happening is if they have no other options, we're offering substantially more than anyone else, and/or Williams makes it known if he's cut he's coming here anyways. All of these seem pretty unlikely to me.

Odd considering I think we're all expecting Jon Feliciano to be activated to the 53. Assumed they'd just use Spain's roster spot for him. Now do they release Boettger or something?

Just think of it this way - Bell will replace what we've gotten from Zack Moss and T.J. Yeldon in his place. Either they redshirt Moss with his toe or Yeldon is released and moved to the Practice Squad. They'd roll with Bell and Singletary on game day and I don't think Singletary's carries would change all that much.

How did I know that when two thirds of Bell's final 3 choices were the Bills and Dolphins that Belichick would jump in? 😑

Yes, he can't come up from the Practice Squad anymore. He has to be signed to the roster. Which is what I was alluding to. It's a "week to week" sprain. But he was on crutches in the locker room - so I doubt it's minor. Yes, they cut him from the 53 to put Norman on. He then cleared waivers and was signed to our Practice Squad. This makes him ineligible to be called up unless signed to the 53. Which is why I'd expect Levi to go on IR.

I'd expect Levi and Milano to land on IR for 3 weeks. Imagine Deon Lacey and Cam Lewis are elevated. Will be interesting to see if they sign anyone of interest to the Practice Squad following those moves.

He's good when he's on the field and 100% Problem is, he's often off the field or on it less than 100% Still have time to come back and have a good season. But I'm starting to wonder if we should offer him a contract after this season or not. That thought wasn't there before.

Nope, found the tweet I was referring to. Cam Lewis is ineligible to be promoted, unless straight to the 53. ... which, in retrospect, may be the case as Levi moving to IR for at least 3 weeks is very likely.

I believe I read once practiced squaded, called up, released, and brought back to the practice squad - he forefeits his eligibility for a second game called up.

I would try and roll with Oliver with Jefferson as much as possible over Butler and Phillips. Switch Klein's snaps with Dodson's. Bring up Dane Jackson to fill in for the loss of Levi Wallace. And just keep grinding this week. Though I'm not opposed to bringing in a Snacks Harrison - it's a lot to ask of someone to come in cold, learn the defense, and produce 5 games into the season.

I mean - can Tyrel Dodson or Tyler Matakevitch be any worse? Deon Lacey or Andre Smith? Dude has just not been good.

Was worried when he posted this before the game but... Release the Kraken INDEED!

Josh friggin Norman! Guy came in cold, was forced to start, and did great. I saw him make 1 bad call in coverage and miss 1 tackle against Darren Waller (which one on one, most CB's will). Outside of that, he was phenomenal and brought a fiery edge. For not having played a single game this year, he came up big.
