dascottbills28 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Does anybody really care? He was a practice squad guy that was occasionally called up when injuries hit. He couldnt even start on a crappy wr group that we had the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a Buffalo kid that played his tail off every practice and every game and I know I speak for many when I say I hope he gets another shot somewhere to contribute.

Gugny Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Does anybody really care? He was a practice squad guy that was occasionally called up when injuries hit.

If you don't care, perhaps you should have simply moved on, rather than post something unnecessarily obnoxious. Just a thought. Have a great day!!

NoSaint Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) He is a Buffalo kid that played his tail off every practice and every game and I know I speak for many when I say I hope he gets another shot somewhere to contribute. Would always like to see him succeed and think the other poster was too extreme in his sentiment, but realistically Roosevelt is likely about done. He's only in a spot to be plug and play in Cleveland - which if they make a trade (Gordon) and lose a guy or two to injury he may get a call - but as the years pass he's losing practice squad eligibility and league minimum pay for a vet gets higher and higher. You want the answer to why nfl careers are 3-4 years? It's because minimum pay nearly doubles by the 4th year and there's no more stashing guys - they've got to earn that spot with play if a rookie has similar potential Edited September 28, 2013 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalScotts Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 i think we've all seen namaan play - no one will be signing him. Man, we really screwed up when we let him go. and Ruvell Martin, and Donald Jones, and David Nelson - Fitz really had some "players" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Good story that he's a local kid. But the fact that he's local always made people around here think he was more than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkKelso'sHelmet Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 the only thing you've missed is the fact that there is a staggering amount of misinformation on wikipedia, and in the world more generally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badasss Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 NFL players from WNY and/or UB are pretty rare. When someone from the area can actually make the NFL, it's considered to be a big deal, regardless of whether or not he's an 'impact' player.

Insert just about every bad player that ever tried out for the Bills ever. Yea we know you guys like swell guys which is why Fitz was allowed to hang around for so long.

Nanker Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Man, we really screwed up when we let him go. Not as bad as when they didn't sign Olof Pilar. Man, they screwed the pooch on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I didnt find his name on the Steelers' roster. Does Pittsburgh have an Arena League team? Actually now that you mention it . . . Arena league is starting up again. He'd be perfect for Arena league. Quick not fast with good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
