YoloinOhio Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Quote After waiving quarterback Chad Kelly, the Broncos had an open spot on their 53-man roster. Denver filled that spot by promoting wide receiver/punt returner Isaiah McKenzie from the practice squad to the active roster. To take McKenzie’s spot on the practice squad, the Broncos signed quarterback Garrett Grayson, a former third-round pick. Before Denver promoted McKenzie, the Bills were trying to sign the second-year receiver to their own 53-man roster, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. The Broncos prevented that by promoting McKenzie themselves. McKenzie (5-7, 173 pounds) was selected by Denver in the fifth round of last year’s NFL draft out of Georgia. He showed promise as a rookie but ultimately lost his starting punt return job after fumbling six times.

YoloinOhio Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Sounds like they were maybe trying to replace Ray Ray. but McKenzie fumbled 6 times? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCBillsBeliever Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Five foot seven... Six fumbles... When you have more fumbles than feet and inches, automatic pass. 2 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like a team replacing an ineffective veteran qb who rarely throws INTs with a rookie QB who threw 5 in a half. Oh wait..:( 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost think that has to be be a typo. And Denver signed him so the Bills couldn’t get him, which means they must think he’s decent. Edit: i looked it up - the 6 fumbles were while at UGA, all on PR, and he lost 2 of them. Edited October 26, 2018 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 This guy's better than Tanner Gentry or any other WR on practice squads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTruster Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Beane just doing his job. Relax. Guy you like becomes available, you try to get him. Pretty simple process. Bills have priority position for these kind of FAs , so there you go. Just doing his job. Building the roster. Geez, posters get crazy when team doesn't win. Now people are complaining about practice squad moves? yikes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now people are complaining about practice squad moves? yikes. This was a move of taking a guy off of someones PS to put on the Bill's active roster. This is their attempt to try and upgrade the active roster, not to get a look at someone on the practice squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he’s now on an active roster and they are still on the PS, so yes? At least 2 GMs think he’s good enough to be on their 53.

oldmanfan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I would put money on the fact that no one on this board had ever heard of this guy before. And now just because the Bills might have been thinking about him, he must not be that good because, of course, the front office can't evaluate talent. As if anyone here has any clue about the guy. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s with this place lately? Early morning grumpiness by me I guess. Obviously I'm no GM, but this guy doesn't seem like the kind of WR we are used to. Though, maybe we (me) should get used to WRs that are in this mold (smaller) like the Patriots seem to add.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It's moves like this that make me seriously question if 2019 is going to be the bonanza of players we need to be successful. However, the other part of my brain thinks that they are desperate to shake things up that they are trying to get any help they can on the cheap as a band-aid.
