xsoldier54 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 What's to like? Got drafted in 2010 and has been on 2 teams and 2 practice squads since. I think Buddy will sign anyone now thinking if he does it enough times, one may be worth a **** someday. When you're 5-7, going nowhere and your starting tight end is hurt, what have you got to lose? It beats doing nothing like previous administrations have done a pretty good job of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaenon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 He was thought of to be the next Antonio Gates, prior to the back injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be great for all the pick up basketball games we have to look forward to during the offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Why didn't they just go out and sign one of those Pro-Bowl caliber players that are just sitting around waiting for a team to call them to sign around this time of the year? Damn this team and Ralph, always to cheap to sign the out of work Pro-Bowlers! Edited December 9, 2011 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 When you're 5-7, going nowhere and your starting tight end is hurt, what have you got to lose? Exactly. Spray and pray and hope to get lucky. Nothing to lose at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) When you're 5-7, going nowhere and your starting tight end is hurt, what have you got to lose? It beats doing nothing like previous administrations have done a pretty good job of. Agreed. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The Bills during the Donahoe and Jauron era were not good at identifying, acquiring and developing prospects on the edges of other teams rosters. Hell, Levy didn't even have the balls to use his franchise tag on his pro bowl CB and trade him for a pick let alone the willingness to turn over the last few spots on his roster trying to find a diamond. Not thrilled with Buddy's efficiency on draft day but he has done well to find useful players from the practice squads and waiver wire. Now we need to see some quality in the first few rounds of the draft and some willingness to bring in a few players in FA.

Cash Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 What's to like? Got drafted in 2010 and has been on 2 teams and 2 practice squads since. I think Buddy will sign anyone now thinking if he does it enough times, one may be worth a **** someday. 6'6", 264, sub-4.5 40, only 3 years of organized football experience. Lot of upside for a guy on a minimum contract with little to no guaranteed money. Would you prefer leaving the roster spot open to save Ralph a few grand? Or is there some other street free agent currently available that you'd have preferred? No, Onobun will probably not turn into an impact player for the Bills, and easily may never even get into a game. But I'm sure some a-hole on a Chargers board dumped all over the team when they signed Antonio Gates as an undrafted free agent. And I know there were plenty of a-holes on this board who dumped all over the Scott Chandler pickup last year. Sure things are not available on the waiver wire, chief. Save your whining for the offseason, when our GM is asleep at the start of free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostradamus Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 What, Gucci Inabagel wasn't available? Word is we weren't going to sign him but Ralph found him for 20 cents on the dollar on Canal St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of upside for a guy on a minimum contract with little to no guaranteed money. Would you prefer leaving the roster spot open to save Ralph a few grand? Or is there some other street free agent currently available that you'd have preferred? He's a low risk signing. He's got great size and speed, but has almost no experience. If he's got good hands, he might be worth something. No, Onobun will probably not turn into an impact player for the Bills, and easily may never even get into a game.

HuSeYiN1978 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Way over my head, but I'm not ashamed. Here's a workout video of our new stud TE: youtube.com/watch?v=fj4O5Fkg7E4 I like the signing. I guess I'm a sucker like you cuz I kind of like the guy after seeing his size and speed also...

Trader Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) This is the kind of signing the Bills have had some success with. I like it and they really need a great receiving tight end to complement Chandler. Let's see what a full camp can do for him. I hope it is the start of a great off season for Buffy Nix.

Maybe he'll sustain the obligatory off-season-basketball-pick-up-game-injury instead of one of our real players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
