Big Turk Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 And then get cut 2 or 3 days later when their team picks up players from other teams who have gotten cut and then releases them....happens every year, and it must be the ultimate kick in the gut after the high of making the roster when you've poured blood, sweat and tears into it for the entire offseason, training camp and pre-season.... Go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows all within 48-72 hours... So who are the few players on the Bills roster that get whacked after initially making the roster this year from the Bills signing a player once other teams make their cuts? I'm betting Nick O'Leary is one of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 You're right. But it's part of the game. No vets will be cut after Wk 1 'cause their entire salary is guaranteed. The young'uns know there's liable to be subject to a roster move, or two, or three. O'Leary, Gronk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Out of the millions of high school players, only 6% play college ball. Less than 1% of that 6% are good enough to play pro. Of that 1% there's only 53 spots per team. Basically you have a better shot at winning the lottery than being an NFL player. There are going to be over 700 guys today that will be told they aren't good enough and to find a new job. Crazy to think about it like that!

Punching Bag Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Well Bills did cuts early giving cut players a chance to BE those replacement players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Leary, Gronk I think both those guys have made it, but I wouldn't get too comfortable if I was Ryan Groy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 hel no i wouldn't. PS his unrefined arse though. 6 safeties is odd. they are worried about AW perhaps? It's the lack of hogan or Easley in the WR squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshermw Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) why do yu keep saying that Cuz it's true. FB is a wasted position in the modern NFL. people drone incessantly about it being a QB driven league. FB ain't a QB's weapon anymore. Goodwin is a serious deep threat and has shown huge flashes of improvement this season but he will get hurt. Boykin is solid and a teammate of TT at VT - all time VT receiver along with TT throwing. Quintessential smart, big strong possession receiver, heck, he's much more like Gronksr !! should have held on to him and cut mini Gronk on PS - JMHO.

moshermw Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Catch a pass over the middle? Really? one handed - off handed - rifled from Cardale (or TT or EJ). Nope. And he spins free away from traffic/coverage like a Basketball player moving without the to get open before it's thrown. Natural playmaker. Gronk is a hack, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gronk is a hack, Yes...he is such a playmaker that he did virtually nothing....not in camp.....not in the pre season games Look I get it....you are a fan of Boynkin.........I was a fan of Little But what is done is done.....catching a pass over the middle is not that great of a feat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, fair enough - both Little and Boykin will be a phonecall away if needed later. That all said, I thought LB Biermann should be ahead of either WR - very thin there and that dude looked pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if I could be any more dissapointed in Biermann..........for a vet guy u think he would have played better....a LB traded for the day before the game came in and outplayed him. I tend to agree. Gronk making the team is a real nice marketing ploy. I'm sure the jerseys are up on the BB website already. Gronk could end up not being on the the team come week 1....they might be looking form someone with more experience... Did Marquez Grey end up making his team?
