Reed83HOF Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sal Capaccio @SalSports 10s11 seconds ago Wonder what the addition of Vitale means for Glenn Gronkowksi, if anything. Interesting. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Not a position I thought they would target. They are good in the backfield and have two hybrid TEs. Not excited by this. Why not look at WRs, OLB's, DEs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Could still be looking. But TE options were thin. Gotcha. Every little upgrade helps, but there is some serious talent released at positions of greater need IMO and I'm hoping they will be aggressive in going after some of these guys.

BADOLBILZ Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 @ProFootballTalk Bills claimed RB Dan Vitale (Buccaneers). Man I wanted them to claim Moritz Bohringer. How cool would it be if every time he caught a ball the crowd was like "Boh-ring Boh-ring". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Not a position I thought they would target. They are good in the backfield and have two hybrid TEs. Not excited by this. Why not look at WRs, OLB's, DEs..... I assume they can look at more than one position at a time and given our lack of FB or TE outside of clay it seems an obvious spot to add talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art in PNS Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Man I wanted them to claim Moritz Bohringer.

starrymessenger Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 With Gronk and O'Leary on the roster....it's a position I would target Guy had a dissapointing preseason and was beaten out by (also unimpressive) UDFA. How about an OLB/DE or maybe a WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I was hoping that as well 6'4 big body to turn into a TE. Or that monster from Baylor Rico Gathers. Also a very chant-able name for a TE. Chances are these guys will go the way of former Bills slam dunk champion and preseason sack-phenom/Bryce Paup understudy Dan Brandenburg.......but there is a DEARTH of talent on the very back end of this roster and you have 6 inactives each week. I'd like to see them take a shot on some potential Jason Peters-like freak talent and then just keep a guy like Greg Salas number on speed dial because some of these back end Bills ain't going anywhere if they get cut. They will just be inactive now anyway but ready and waiting if the Bills call them in October/November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree that if he can't do anything in Roman's scheme he has no business on a NFL playing field. Has some ST skills so there is that. We shall see. Obviously hoping he is a big upgrade.
