papazoid Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 not looking good for terrence making team.... The long road to recovery for Terrence McGee coming off patellar tendon surgery saw a bump in the road after practice Monday and it kept him off the practice field Tuesday. It will also keep him out of the preseason finale Thursday night in Detroit. “Terrence had a setback yesterday,” said Gailey following Tuesday's practice. "His knee got a little weaker in practice yesterday so we’re sitting him and seeing where he goes looking into the future. He’s not going to play this week so we’ll have to see where that takes us.” http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/McGee-suffers-setback/46de1488-67b0-454a-af2f-2e7010728359?campaign=BillsBuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ouch...yeah, I have a feeling that McGee is going to get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah, that's a bummer for him for sure. Looks like that will likely be the end for him. Good run though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjprime Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm thinking more the PUP where Bills retain rights til week 6 and then see how he is. Saves a roster spot til then, only problem is they'd have to figure out who to cut to bring him back to the roster, but it buys McGee time to heal up.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the 10 years of service Terrence! best of luck to you. CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This was inevitable. He clearly wasn't even close to healthy, yet he pushed and pushed himself. It's a credit to the guy that he tried as hard as he did this offseason, and played last week despite not being healthy. McGee has been one of my favorite Bills for both his play and his attitude, but it looks like his football time is done. Maybe if he get's healthy as the season goes on, he could be considered as an injury replacement if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I figured this had something to do with the 3rd degree burn he suffered this past Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 In the article, Gaily said he does not see him getting cut on Friday. So either Gailey is lying or McGee is going to make the final 53. Hate to say it, but I think the Bills would be wise to cut him on Friday but let him know he will be re-signed after the first game. I know he restructured and all, but still would give the Bills more options in terms of cap space if his salary is not guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 If they cut McGee then the combined NFL experience of our CBs (excluding Leodis) is less than 2 years total. S. Gilmore, A. Williams, J. Rogers and R. Brooks. McKelvin has looked terrific so far throughout the summer, but if he's the veteran of the group... It's a scary proposition.

DDD Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've always liked McGee. He was a solid physical corner and even better kick returner in his prime. Nobody is more disappointed than him that he can't get healthy. It's probably time to hang 'em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've been lambasted for this opinion before, but I've been steadfast in it: McGee needs to go. He needed to go 3 years ago, when the Nix-less front office signed him to a $7M/year deal and let Jabari Greer--a better player--leave in FA for $5.5M/year. McGee's a good person, and he was a great kick returner, but his coverage ability was severely over-rated for a long time, and the skills he did have in that department have eroded. Best of luck to the guy, but he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Now that I think about it, Chan also said that he doesn't think the knee injury would contribute to his release, but he didn't say anything about the long TD pass he gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) If they cut McGee then the combined NFL experience of our CBs (excluding Leodis) is less than 2 years total. S. Gilmore, A. Williams, J. Rogers and R. Brooks. McKelvin has looked terrific so far throughout the summer, but if he's the veteran of the group... It's a scary proposition. Terrific is a strong word, but yes McKelvin has played well this preseason. Why? Because playing nickle allows him to make plays IN FRONT of him. On deep plays he simply has no instincts, and is clueless as to how to defend the ball. However he is very athletic and quick, and when the ball is in front of him, he can see and read the action, and make some very nice plays. IMO, it's clear he cannot be a good starting QB in this league based on his lack of ball awareness over top. However I've always thought he could succeed at nickle, because he's proven he can play well when the play is in front of him.

Captain Hindsight Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wont be surprised either way, but I hope they keep Terrence. he is an excellent corner when he is healthy and hopefully he will be soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they relase McGee, that will leave a sizeable chunk more cap space we can roll over into next year, with Byrd, Levitre, Urbik, et al, needing new contracts.
