BobbyC81 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 what happened to that dude? Had an elite year with nobody at QB with them a few years ago and then disappeared He had a sports hernia last season. Can someone explain how some players are just cut while others have to go thru waivers? Did Barnidge clear thru waivers without being claimed?

Did Barnidge clear thru waivers without being claimed? if the player is still on their rookie deal or has less than 4 years of service they go through waivers. Barnidge is 10 year vet so he is free to sign anywhere immediately. Edited May 3, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Why do people think Logan Thomas will contribute as a tight end,this year? ....why not?......guy has TE size and knows this may be his only NFL shot....doubtful QB ever becomes an option at this level....George Wilson made transition to safety........maybe this kid can do the same.....Barnridge would be the perfect tutor....

John from Riverside Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Why do people think Logan Thomas will contribute as a tight end,this year? Because he was the top TE prospect coming out of high school that probably position switched to QB because that is the money position? He has familiarity with the postiion even though there is a learning curve...and he certainly has the physical attributes. The bills thought so because they did pay a little more to get him on a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billzgobowlin Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Why do people think Logan Thomas will contribute as a tight end,this year? He is quite the wild card. He has played Tight End in High School and a little in college so it isn't completely foreign to him. I bet they will have packages for him this year but man if he catches the ball he will bulldoze the defensive players. He would have been drafted in the first round as a tight end if the Hokies didn't need him as a QB so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would like. But unless the Bills gave him a ton of money, why would he ever sign here? His best bet might be to sign a one year deal and have a good season to cash in next year. A TE isnt boosting their value in our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best bet might be to sign a one year deal and have a good season to cash in next year. A TE isnt boosting their value in our offense.You're basing this off the last coaching staff though. The Kubiak/Dennison offenses have historically made good use of both their #1 and #2 TE. Joel Dreessen and Garrett Graham had decent production in Houston as the #2 guy. It didn't happen as much in Denver because Virgil Green is...well...not good. But they did use Green & Daniels on the field together frequently. I'm not saying this would be the best opportunity, because I don't know who else is looking at him. But this would be a *good* opportunity for him based on the number of snaps available to the #2 TE on this offense and the lack of talent to push for said #2 spot. Nobody is paying big money for a 31 or 32 year old TE with a season and a half of production. Edited May 4, 2017 by JM57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really struggle to see the Bills getting Clay and the OC deciding not to throw across the middle. Vernon Davis had some really nice seasons under Roman. But I hope you're right and we can sign him. I feel like the Bills are the last team to realize how important TE is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't run an out route or a flat route to the sidelines? It's a new offense now. Dennison comes from the Kubiak tree, who comes from the Shanahan tree...who comes from the Bill Walsh tree. Each man runs it differently of course, but the skeleton of the scheme is going to be a zone run game and passing game with a lot of horizontal routes...which should benefit Tyrod's mobility. If you can move the pocket and stretch routes side to side, he should be able to see the field better Edited May 4, 2017 by JM57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would love this signing. He had a great 2015 with 1000 yards and 9 TD's. Even though he came back to Earth in 2016 he was still dam productive with 55 catches and around 600 yards if I am not mistaken. Grabbing him would allow the Bills to run more two TE sets and have a viable backup for Clay. Having a second capable TE would also allow the Bills to mask a weakness on their offense as it would allow the team to use less receivers a position the team is not very deep at.

I feel like the Bills are the last team to realize how important TE is. Chandler was the first viable one in years. and look at all the Team records he set at that position! Worried me why they pursued Clay so hard. Very good player indeed ! But could Bills make good use of him. Methinks this year Tyrod WILL find his TEs and Will chuck it at them. I would be pleased to to Barnside on the team I understand Tyrod's struggles down the middle of the field. But why does he have to throw down the middle to hit a TE?
