Is Jay Riemersma still the Tight End? I heard we picked up some kid from the Cowboys, Something Chandler. We better not drop him though or the Pats* get will get him.

Ol Dirty B Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 He would have been a good TE prospect in the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right Clay will get hurt early and we'll just end up resigning Nick... I think that's wrong. Your first TE is the one that should be catching passes. Anyone efter that is more valuable as a blocker because they will see such limited targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 9 hours ago, BuffBillsForLife said: Why do people always assume that every player we cut will wind up on the pats? Generally if they can't make the Bills roster they aren't going to make theirs. They have done well with a few players they sniped from us (eg Hogan), mixed with some (Gilmore, Chandler) and poorly with others (Gillislee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 2 hours ago, swnybillsfan said: Lee is apparently the best blocker of our TE group. this may well be of importance because of the state of the offensive line. I kind of like O'Leary. Seems to be one of those guys who can find the seam and get open despite a lack of athleticism. But he is limited, and on this team there isn't a whole lot of room for an O'Leary type. Clay is a receiver-first TE, under a huge (mistake) contract. Croom shows real talent, but is a converted receiver. Thomas is a fantastic athlete - the type a rebuilding team needs to keep around - but is a converted WR and then QB. So you need the blocking TE on the roster unless you're going to dump one of the more talented athletes (or the hugely expensive underperformer). I think Lee winds up playing a lot ...

MAJBobby Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 He was JAG. Hense why he is still without a team and SD dug Gates out of the grave instead of even signing O’Leary (whos HC also knows him well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I enjoyed cheering for him, appreciated his clutch catches and wish him the best. But I find it funny so many were so angry when he was cut, thinking they know better than the Bills' decision makers. Well, not signed - not even a report of being invited in for a workout. Seems to validate Beane and McD. Again, though, I like O'Leary and hope he does find a team again soon (just not an opponent of the Bills).

Simon Says Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 This is nothing like the Hogan situation. OLeary was cut. Hogan was restricted free agent and was lost because Bills wouldn't match Pats offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lee winds up playing a lot ... yeah, i liked o'leary as well. but i think the potential and athletic ability of these other TE's made him expendable. i am sad to see him go, but ultimately happy that they are trying to upgrade the position. i have been wanting the Bills to try to use the TE more, and also to try to upgrade the position to insulate the passing game.
