Freddie's Dead Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Wow. Mike Tomlin is the last guy I would have expected to pick up this POS. KW better straighten up and fly right, or he's gonna have a short stay in the 'burgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) His oldest brother Vince plays for LB Steelers. Just got an extension actually. Probably think he might be a good influence having him there to keep him in line, as he hadn't had any issues I'm aware of. But yeah, Steelers are the all-weed team now Edited October 12, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 You can still sign him at any point if I understand this correctly. If another team comes calling, he can choose to stay or their Practice Squad or the Steelers can sign him to their active roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't happen very often. IIRC, Matt Simms chose to stay on another teams' Practice Squad (ATL?) last season instead of coming to the Bills' 53.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Did not know that. Are there stats on how many PS guys pass on a chance to play elsewhere to stay on the taxi squad? Very few. Big difference in $$ and benefits. Happens occasionally with a skill player like a QB where he feels he's being developed where he is, but would just be a temporary fill-in on the 53-man for a different team. Occasionally happens for a team that's a big winner (Seahawks couple years ago) vs. a bad team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that happens, the PS team often raises the guy's salary (they did for Tanney) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Kachy Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Damn Bills. They should have at least signed him to their PS. Oh well. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it back to the Bills roster at some point this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Did they ever say why we didn't sign him last week? Adam Schefter tweeted that a deal was imminent and then it just evaporated for some reason. Did we put him through a workout and decide he was still too fat?

Marty McFly Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I wonder why we didn't bring him back here, not really liking some of you guys calling him a P.O.S just because he couldn't follow the rules for a precious football team.

Marty McFly Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 how about illegal drug use? Using ILLEGAL drugs is nothing to be proud of. Try defending Karlos for that. Just because marijuana is illegal by the system your brain washed by doesn't make him a bad person. So are you going to call everyone who smokes marijuana a bad person? Jesus you need to open up your mind woman. Did you know alcohol causes more damage to your brain then pot does? Did you know alcohol was also once illegal? Does that make everyone who drinks alcohol a bad person? Did you know marijuana was only made illegal to protect the timber industry in the 1930s because hemp was a much cheaper option but the tycoons didn't own the patents to privatize the profit on it? You should really do some research before you spew your ignorance. Especially when the smear campaign was extremely ignorant and racist playing on Caucasians fear of minorities saying marijuana turned African-Americans into super rapists. Look it up. Also read the stats that show you there HAS NEVER BEEN A RECORDED DEATH FROM SMOKING MARIJUANA ALONE. Compared to how many deaths from alcohol and prescription pill overdoses? Go ahead Ill wait... A person's worth is, but a football player's value to the team isn't. Right he's un-professional, and unreliable and deserves all the heat he takes for that. For any of us to think we know him well enough to call the guy a POS is kinda out there tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
