Jamie Nails Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Question: what former Bills practice squad member became a quality player for the team? Thinking Fred, Jabari and maybe Jason Peters? Anyone else in recent years? NFL Draft Diamonds @DraftDiamonds 1m1 minute ago Raiders are hosting QB Phillip Sims tomorrow for a workout - http://nfldraftdiamonds.com/raiders-are-hosting-qb-phillip-sims-tomorrow-for-a-workout/ Last I checked, his first name was Matt.

NoSaint Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 So does signing him create goodwill with Sammy, or is it a quick path to pissing him off when we probably release him down the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Dez Lewis I think has been signed to PS. Maybe that had something to do with Davis not signing too.could be Boyst's missing link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I like that most of our boarder line roster guys ended up on the PS. I also like turtles. Edited September 6, 2015 by Jamie Nails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 @mikerodak: The Bills will not be able to sign QB Matt Simms to their practice squad unless they drop Richardson or Reddick. Rule technicality. Can anyone explain this please? So does signing him create goodwill with Sammy, or is it a quick path to pissing him off when we probably release him down the line? I would think Sammy understands that Practice Squad is tenuous, and he's hopefully glad to have his bro here, he can let him room or help him find a good place and so forth. As long as his bro is a positive not a negative influence. maybe in just confused but there is a QB named Phillip Sims He's Matt Simms father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I liked Reddick in the Lions Game. OTOH, Richardson's just a guy... Agreed on Reddick. I was kind of surprised he didn't make the 53. I thought he was an excellent player @UNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking on the realistic situation were your employer fires your family member- if they deserve it, it's easier to swallow but it's still got potential to frustrate.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 @mikerodak I can confirm that CB Jaylen Watkins, the brother of Sammy, is headed to the Bills’ practice squad, as @MikeGarafolo reported. @JaySkurski BN Blitz: Per agent, #Bills add OL Chris Martin to practice squad http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/09/06/per-agent-bills-add-chris-martin-to-practice-squad/ Per Bills home page, practice squad signees: WR Dezmin Lewis, S Jonathan Meeks, G Cyril Richardson, LB Kevin Reddick and RB Cierre Wood. So 3 more to go, plus ?1 more to the 53 man roster? 2 DB, 2 OL, 1 WR, 1 RB, 1 LB - seems like we usually have a DLman or 2 stashed there, maybe another LB?

Lurker Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Can anyone explain this please? Likely due to the number of games Simms, Reddick and Richardson have been active the past two years: ...each club will be permitted to sign a maximum of two Practice Squad players who have earned no more than two accrued seasons (6 active games per season) of free agency credit. Absent this exception, a player who has earned one or more accrued seasons would not be eligible for a Practice Squad unless the player spent fewer than nine games on a club’s 46-player active list in each of his accrued seasons.

gonzo1105 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hopeful: while funny and coincidental it's still not a mistake. Phillip Sims is not Matt Simms father. This Sims is an UDFA who played at Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
