LABILLBACKER Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Other then being one of the best ST's players in the NFL for a number of years There ARE 3 phases to a football team He's was actually a very good gunner for 2 seasons. Probably our best ST player which does earn you a roster spot. But right now it's all about dropping that cap number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 One of my favorite players. I really feel bad for him for the way his career turned out. His attitude seemed perfect for the team and I always thought he would have filled a WR role admirably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 How many seasons was slater injured? Easily is pretty much every year. The guy did basically nothing in his Bills career. He was a BBMB hero for years. Talked about like he would break out every year, all he broke was body parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Bills have released WR Marcus Easley, saving $1.025 million off their salary cap. Easley missed all of last season with a serious knee injury suffered late in the 2015 season. Easley was a key special teams contributor for the Bills prior to the injury. Bills can resign him later if there is still interest; no sense tying up money before free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I don't know how this guy made it this long. A complete zero and wasted roster spot for much to long I wouldn't go that far. Great ST play will earn a roster spot. Unfortunately injuries did him in, and his knee(s) may be shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I always admired him for being willing to forego his natural position and play ST. Struck me as a character guy. Sad to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKellyTryouts Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Watching that knee injury happen in the Dallas game broke my heart. He worked his butt off on ST and constantly made terrific plays during Marrone's first couple of years to earn that new contract, after having fought through the heart complications. BM4J, good grief - your temperament is as volatile as anyone's Conversely, before Rex's first year, if he didn't resign with us, it's highly likely back on BBMB you'd vent and spit out the generic comments about how we refused to keep our own, right?

Heavy Kevi Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think after last year, the Bills will be leery of any wideout with an injury history. We are already married to Sammy, and we can't have games where our top 4-5 WRs are out. Marcus is such a "could have been" guy. Had the skills and "could have been" a great player, at WR even.... but had bad injury luck. I wish him the best, as he definitely left it all on the field.

Freddie's Dead Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Marcus Easley gave the Bills everything he had. Was an outstanding STer, but the injury bug bit him hard. I will never forget that 58-yard rainbow he caught from EJ in the ill-fated Jax game. Best of luck to Marcus Easley, a true Buffalo Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Marcus Easley gave the Bills everything he had. Was an outstanding STer, but the injury bug bit him hard. I will never forget that 58-yard rainbow he caught from EJ in the ill-fated Jax game. Best of luck to Marcus Easley, a true Buffalo Bill. I was sitting right there at the end of Wembley. Was a quite magnificent throw. Might be the best pass EJ threw as a Bill. Easley was a top 3 gunner in his 2014/15 prime, but he never contributed much as a receiver and never seemed to be able to put it all together. I wish him luck but for a cap tight team this was the obvious move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of years you are referring to he sat on IR. I said we should have cut this guy for 3 years ago. Waste of space. All he did was collect a check.
