BillsfanAZ Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think calling the Vikings is a knee jerk reaction. The Bills will have enough bodies for training camp. Knox and Sweeney will get more reps which will help them. The Bills will keep Croom until Kroft comes back and then Croom will be cut. This is the very reason the Bills wanted depth at each position. Injuries happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Elite Poster said: You sign a bunch of injury prone players and then they get injured. Glass Legs Murphy and now Crystal Foot Kroft. I kinda have to agree with you here. I wasnt thrilled with the Kroft signing in the 1st place & I definitely was against signing Murphy. We had/have the cap space to blow i suppose, but we've committed good money to players who so far have struggled to stay on the field. Kroft very well could come back in 3 months, but who's to say his foot is gonna be any stronger than it was before? If anything one could presume it'd be worse off, after breaking it again, (in a non contact environment no less). Really wish we went after someone else to begin with. But since we own Kroft for awhile, I wish him a speedy recovery & hope for the best like always lol. It'll be interesting to see if Beane does his due diligence & plans for the worst & targets Rudolph or another TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's the only major injury of OTAs I'm fine with that You should care...quantity does not equal quality. The TE depth chart is a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The Bills sit here and talk about all these medical advances they put in. They then proceed to sign a player who's foot clearly was not healed and ends up breaking it again. The medical team is the problem, not the equipment. Beane already had zero offensive signings to hang his hat onto before this year, and now its looking like he continues to not due complete due diligence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Beane our drafting has been much better, but 2018 Free Agency class was a complete disaster and this year's class hasn't started off on the right foot. Hello? Do you actually follow the Bills? What part of "build through the draft" don't you understand? Beane doesn't us free agents to build the team. He uses rookies. Whaley drafted poorly and signed occasional name free agents. How'd that work out? Kroft was intended to be the answer at TE. He was intended to be the guy who started until they got the young guy they wanted. It certainly doesn't help 2019 to lose him, but injuries happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn’t be smart. In fact, it’s be a panicky thing to do. Rudolph will be cut by the Vikes and we can easily outbid the Pats. No sense trading draft picks for a guy on a fairly expensive one year deal. If we are going to pay him some cash, then let’s keep him around awhile. That’d be a very good move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Was there a chance the foot was sore ahead of time, and Beane had heightened concerns and that's why he has so many Tightends on the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I guess New England has a medical team problem too. Edelman originally broke the foot in November and missed the final seven games of the regular season after undergoing surgery. He returned for the playoffs, but was clearly not fully healthy in the AFC Championship Game. It was previously reported Edelman wouldn't need a second surgery, but things apparently took another direction. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000661968/article/julian-edelman-underwent-second-surgery-on-foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurpleBull Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Damn. I thought Kroft would prove to be the most important acquisition at receiver. Hopefully Knox can step in right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Touch situation here. I do suppose it is nice to see Knox, Croom, Sweeney get some extra reps. Not much in free agency outside of AJ Derby, Ryan Griffin (who was arrested for punching a wall.) Ofcourse Jake Fisher is still out there, and we all know he is familiar with the playbook. Interesting UDFA out there is Stetson tight end Donald Parham, who was a an UDFA of the Lions and waived after rookie minicamp. I don't know if he was hurt or just terrible. But I thought he seemed interesting pre draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyny13 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 People always jump to finger pointing so quick, the foot wasn’t ready, we didn’t vet him enough, equipment is trash, our staff is trash, trainers are trash and Beane is trash...it’s football freak injuries occur, and it can happen to same freaking foot. ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I understand that you've indicated that Kyle Rudolph might be available for a trade. What compensation are you looking for? Rick Spielman: Give me your 2nd round pick in 2020 and you've got a deal. Beane: That seems a bit high. Spielman: Take it or leave it. Not sure if you've checked the news, but the Patriots have reached out to us about Kyle. Beane: You've got a deal! A 2020 2nd it is. Spielman: Care to throw in a mid-round pick as well? Maybe a 5th? Beane: Agree to that as well. We can't let him go to New England. Thanks, Rick. All that typing for this? EJ Manuel was less of a bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaleys teams were competitive every single game, while we have been blown out far too much the last two years. While I support Beane and eager to see how the process turns out, I have my doubts because I’m a Bills fan and have been hurt in the past. A TE is a young QBs best friend and now our best option at that position is 3rd round rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
