26CornerBlitz Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Beginning at 1 pm today, teams can begin filling out their practice squads, and they can place a maximum of 10 players on the squad. Buffalo Bills 2018 practice squad tracker: Signings, reports, rules, more 2018 Buffalo Bills practice squad tracker By Ryan Talbot | Contributing writer The Buffalo Bills' current roster sits at 52 players. A few of the players currently on the roster could be let go based on waiver claims made by the Bills today. After finalizing their 53-man roster, Buffalo will turn their attention to their practice squad. Here's what fans need to know about the practice squad. Each practice squad will consist of 10 players. Up to four players can make the practice squad with two accrued seasons. The other spots will be made up of players who have been on an active roster less than six games or were on a 46-man active game-day roster fewer than nine games. Bills 2018 Practice Squad Players added to the Bills' practice squad will be listed here with tweets of the news to follow. Buffalo Bills practice squad tracker, 2018 The NFL’s waiver claim period ends at noon Eastern on Sunday and even before that deadline, teams have been negotiating with potential youngsters for spots on the practice squad. The Buffalo Bills and every other NFL team are able to hire ten players for the taxi squad. Keep in mind, none of these deals are official until announced by the team as the situation is very fluid as players get claimed or offered more money by other teams after losing a guy they were targeting. Below, we’ll keep track of the rumored signings and interest for the Bills and keep updating it until the team does officially announce it. (If we can go by the timeliness of their roster announcement, we’ll find out at some point late today but no where close to the 1:00 p.m. official window opening.) Also keep in mind, Buffalo could end up swapping out players on this again as the second day of waiver wire comes and goes after the first wave of roster claims today.

Teams may place claims on any player on the waiver wire, but claims are awarded to teams in the reverse order of the 2017 standings. For example, the Bills are 21st on the waiver claim list after making the playoffs last season, and the Cleveland Browns are first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Based on the reports, if accurate they for sure want WR Cam Phillips, OC Adam Redmond and SAF Dean Marlowe on the practice squad. I think you’ll see a QB for sure on the practice squad. So that’s 4 spots if everything falls their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sure though) Would the Bills be looking for another inexperienced quarterback to put on the practice squad, since they already have a rookie and first-year QB on the roster? If so, who would they feel strongly enough to bring in, since they didn't have one from camp that they're familiar with? Or instead, would they be looking for an experienced vet to sit on the active roster as 3rd QB and act as a mentor for Allen and Peterman? Maybe do both?

I'm quite sure they traded AJ to only have two QBs on 53. I very much doubt barring injury they add a vet to the 53. Especially because the lack of even bad ones available.

Because these guys and most teams only want two QBs on their 53 saving a spot for another position. You don't have three active on game day anyway. So most are a waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but I wouldn't completely discount it. A guy who's been around the block can add a lot of value in the QB room, more so sometimes than a QB coach. If - a big IF - they find the right guy at the right price, I could see it happening. As for the PS, I would expect that any rookie QB available would still sign with the team that cut him; not a lot of good options available out there. I don't see them grabbing a PS QB, just to fill a quota. But you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
