Juice_32 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I don’t get this one. I really don’t. But, I also would have drafted Rosen so what do I know? I just remember him being a penalty machine. He was disposable even when we had no decent TEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This what worries me about this regime. They seem to have outdated ways of thinking. It’s liek signing Star. Good at one thing, completely worthless if teams pass. Smith is a glorified o linemen.

I think it’s all but a lock that they’ll keep 4 at this point. The TE room is going to be packed at camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Who knows how the contract is structured. I would assume Lee is here for 2019 at a minimum. If he performs they probably got him on the cheap for the remaining years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. You’re right. This might be the year he tops 80 yards in a season. But the Raiders are definitely a team I point to as being one I want to idle myself after. Like I said, I heard he’s a great guy. And props to him for getting checks for so long with such average talent. But lee smith’s Are a dime a dozen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught more TDs last year than Clay did in the last two years. He’s not the future at TE.

BillsFan17 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Kroft Knox Lee are the only three I see making the team. Sweeney makes the PS and the others, like Croom and Fischer will be cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 17 minutes ago, One Buffalo said: Wait for the details on the deal. So far Beane has structured things very well (team friendly), I would expect the same here. That's my take as well. I'll wait to see how easy it is for the Bills to get out of his contract after year one--as well as the amount of any guaranteed money--before passing judgement on this signing. If nothing else, he'll be a great role model in training camp for Knox, Sweeny and even Fisher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Yeah, yeah, he can block.. Thing is though, we don’t know how Knox & Sweeney will turn out. We have an idea about Kroft. We’re all pretty excited to be done with the oft-injured, uninspiring, costly Clay. We DO know about Smith. We -and every team he’s played for- kicked him to the curb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Smith will be that one veteran guy they're trying to make sure they have in every room. I think they keep four and it'll be Kroft, Knox, Croom, and Smith, with Sweeney to the PS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
