So Vlad lives on?

So people actually thought they'd just cut a starter right out of the gate? He's not going anywhere until they get someone on the roster who the coaches think is better.

I know that but i meant do they have to clear waivers if a team wants to immediately sign them to their 53 man roster and release one of their own players?

Any player waiver eligible, you have to put in a claim for and see if that player is awarded to you (determined by the waiver claim order, Bills are #22).

 

Any player you claim has to be put on your 53 man roster.

 

edit - here’s a pretty good explanation -

I would have kept O’Leary and Ryan and cut Schmidt but oh well. No real

loss anywhere I guess. A lot of really bad players on the 90. I don’t see why they bothered to keep T. Jones. Ray Ray and Murphy are probably better return men and we have plenty of RBs. Not a big deal. Surprised that we kept so many WRs.

Thats the thing Boat.

I would have thought Beanes brought him in as #1 or #2 depending on the draft. They spent enough money to solidify him as number 2. did Bills underestimate Peterman or over estimate McCarron ?

I don’t think they overestimated McCarron. There was NFL gamefilm on him. His injury didn’t help his cause, but I think he underperformed. The contract all but assured he wouldn’t be a QB 3. They know what they have in Peterman, barring anything wildly unforeseen. Peterman also has practice squad eligibility ( I believe ) so that would have been an option for him. The talent level is similar to a McCarron imo. Things probably went differently than they expected, or AJM would still be here regardless of the QB competition outcome. Allen as QB 3 would be a total waste of time. I’d say NP was about what they expected , but AJM was less than.
