ALF Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Simms is not eligible for the Bills PS. It was thought that one of those spots could go to quarterback Matt Simms, who was released Friday. As it stands now, however, that won’t be possible. NFL rules state that a team can’t have more than two players on the practice squad who have spent at least nine games on an active roster is a previous season. Richardson appeared in 12 games last season for the Bills, while Reddick played in 16 games as a rookie in 2013 with New Orleans. http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/09/06/bills-do-some-patching-and-filling-on-roster-holes/ If Taylor or EJ get injured the Bills could sign a QB from another teams PS to the 53 roster here.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 A lot of teams don't carry a 3rd QB on the 53 man roster? for those in the dark ... it is close enough to say 50% carry only 2 QB's (heard it on the radio the other day) well I guess I should have read page 2 first before I posted ... No 3rd QB but 5 TEs? Why? who doesn't like a tight end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Simms is not eligible for the Bills PS. If Taylor or EJ get injured the Bills could sign a QB from another teams PS to the 53 roster here. Well, he was, until he signed to Atlanta's PS. I figured he would sign with the Bills---that he didn't is a bit of a surprise to me. Not offered a PS spot? Any QB the Bills sign needs to be PS eligible, IMO, as that is where they need him to be. The one possible exception I could think of, is if Cassel comes back to the roster, at cents-on-the-dollar to his original contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsmovinup Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Tim Tebow All he does is win. LOL. Can we bring the Brad Riter Flutie magic synthesizer bit back if we do sign Tebow. Edited September 7, 2015 by Billsmovinup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I might be fine with the Bills keeping just 2 QBs, except: 1) Tyrod seems to like to scramble 2) Manuel doesn't look like he can take a hit well, especially for someone his size 3) they have little NFL experience between them 4) there isn't anyone waiting on the PS Any injury to either QB will mean we need to quickly acquire and jump the QB up to speed. If Marquise Gray (or someone else on the roster) is the 3rd QB and they are giving him some snaps at QB intermittently, and he's doing okay, then I feel a lot better.

VanCity Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Not Ponder. I watched him attempt to play quarterback in Oakland in the PS and his days are numbered. He was like our Trentative for Minny. Teased a few decent games, but never really developed into a NFL qb. I hate saying it, but if one of EJ or Tyrod go down, Cassell is the best option. Whether he would come back after being cut, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one possible exception I could think of, is if Cassel comes back to the roster, at cents-on-the-dollar to his original contract. My guess is he still wants a shot to be a #2. Maybe Atlanta whispered in his ear? But maybe rex said, we have no use for you. The Cassel angle is something to watch still Edited September 7, 2015 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cassel angle is something to watch still I believe it was likely exactly like that. Like I said, I was surprised he didn't sign with the Bills as he seems to have a connection with Rex. But I'm not shocked and I get the reasons he might pick another team. As it turns out, we get the trick shot QB on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Announcer: "With Taylor and Manuel both out with injuries here in the 3rd quarter, it looks like Alex Tanney will enter the game." Analyst: "They've lined up in an interesting formation, Marv. Watkins is out of the game, and there is a garbage can wearing the number 83 mounted on a remote-controlled scooter. This should be interesting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
