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 -

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.

OLeary made big plays in big situations for us in real games...thats something none of these other guys have done(maybe Clay)

 

I really liked O’Leary.. He doesn’t jump out or stand out but just seemed to be a solid gamer. Made plays when asked to and seemed clutch when he was on the field. 

I’m sad to see him go I enjoyed rooting for him

Don't believe O’Leary has it in him to be the #1 TE.  Still would have kept him, like what he’s done.

I generally concur with your comments, but that is one creepy avatar . . .

O'Leary did make some plays. I'm sure cutting him wasn't an easy decision. 

 

Croom got hurt last camp though if I recall, and Lee was already being utilized as our blocking TE with success. So I see how it all came together here. Maybe O'Leary should have stayed over Thomas but they must believe in Thomas and his measurables.

Shoulda been toast on a shingle.

 

4 G, 4 T, and Bodine listed as C

T are Dawkins, Mills, Newhouse, and McDermott

G are Ducasse, Miller, Groy, and Teller

 

Fugly bunch.

I like Dawkins and Teller. The rest are bad.

Wow, the Bills got a 5th for AJ??   LOL Jon Gruden...the way he's going, he's going to back in the booth in about 3 years. 

 

Like O'Leary, but he only really made 3 or 4 plays a year. 

 

Surprised Foster is still here, but I like it..he's raw but has potential.
