26CornerBlitz Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Buffalo Bills Roster Projection: Tight Ends With just a few days remaining until the Buffalo Bills are required to trim their roster from 88 players to 53, a surprising position battle rages on. Although the wide receivers have garnered most of the offseason attention among fans and the media, the tight end position has been just as intriguing. With six players currently scattered across the roster at the position, the Bills will need to make at least two, if not three, cuts in order to trim the depth chart before the end of Saturday. Here’s a look at each player’s status heading into the preseason finale against Chicago: Predicted TE depth chart: Clay, Thomas, Croom, Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hard for me to believe that O’Leary hasn’t done what’s expected of him, and yet Clay makes the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Have to say I’m pretty happy with our TEs. Imo, it’s about as talented of a group as we have had in a long time. A good player is going to get released. I think Jason Croom Pegula is safe. Tonight, I think Logan Thomas and Nick O’Leary (he’s related to the actor Jack Nicholson!) are playing for their spot.

I think you are correct...i never understood the fan's love of O'leary beyond the fact he was Jack Nicklaus's grandkid, not Jack Nicholson Edited August 30, 2018 by RoyBatty is alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't think the production we get from Clay is worth the cost. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get cut and they keep O'Leary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O’Leary seems to catch the ball when they throw it to him. Clay, on the other hand, not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see him get cut and they keep O'Leary I just feel they would rather have him on the team instead of paying him $9 million to leave. He will probably get less plays than previous years. I expect him to be gone next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not really opposite opinion, Clay has had terrible hands, had 5 drops last year but they are NOT cutting him so I dont even think it is in the discussion.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him get cut and they keep O'Leary Clay isn’t getting cut. We don’t save any money by doing so. The reality is Clay has been our best TE and one of our more productive receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co_springs_billsfan Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Clay and Croom to me are the locks. O'Leary has been a nice story but I think his status will come down to whether the coaches want the steady hand or potential (Thomas/Lee). Also, I don't think it's been mentioned, but did you know O'Leary plays without gloves? Edited August 30, 2018 by co_springs_billsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since he now holds a Bills record--three consecutive years of 500+ yards from the TE position--I'd say he's been reasonably productive...

This is the deepest group I can recall I love tight ends (?). It’s embarrassing how we have neglected them. They are such mismatchs. Hopefully our qbs can make use of them because our wrs aren’t that good plus we need the extra blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
