YoloinOhio Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Didn’t get him, but he was cut by the Jets on 5/20 which is the day that Kroft got hurt. Don’t know if it was before or after the injury that the claim was put in. I believe it was after. Edited May 22, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Yeah and the new league year has started. As for Leggett, it's not like the Jets have anyone at TE worth anything so he's no loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s any good, but interesting they tried to get him - they are maxed out on the roster so would have needed to cut someone if they were awarded the claim.

I assume so as well - he was cut Monday afternoon and the claim would have been put in at some point after that, when they would have known about the injury. Now we see if they target someone else or wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsredneck1 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) just read his bio again and sounds like he has a nick o'leary class reliability catching passes but probably a better blocker. tasker says he looks bigger than his stats. 6'4 251.

Kyle Rudolph, Vikings are talking extension, but not making much progress Posted by Mike Florio on May 16, 2019, 11:21 PM EDT The talks between the Vikings and tight end Kyle Rudolph on a potential contract extension aren’t dead, but they currently aren’t going anywhere. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Vikings and Rudolph have not ended talks (contrary to a recent report that they have). However, the two sides aren’t making much progress. The Vikings, according to the source, have offered Rudolph a five-year extension, which would give Rudolph a new-money average among the highest paid tight ends in the league. That extension also would, presumably, reduce Rudolph’s current cap number of $7.625 million https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/16/kyle-rudolph-vikings-are-talking-extension-but-not-making-much-progress/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that ... could have gotten a conditional draft pick if a team wanted the rookie contract on a young player without having to chance the waiver order. Maybe he did try, just interesting so many teams were interested. Edited May 22, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he had a big bowl game for the most part. bc is just such a run heavy offense that rarely will you see a wr or te with impressive numbers. if i'm not mistaken, he had gotten better every year, peaked in his junior year with 500 something yards, and had a less impressive senior year. bc uses aj dillon as their work horse, so he did a lot of blocking.

TigerJ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The Bills have a number of TEs on the roster, including a UDFA or two. If they were to sign one, I assume it would be to upgrade the back end of the TE depth. Unless they were to coax Gronk out of retirement (which I don't expect) there can't be a lot of quality out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Tight End seems to be the most up in the air position we have at the moment. OL will have some interesting battles, but we know we have some good players there. Tight End has so many question marks.. High ceiling rookie who was barely used in college, an elite blocking tight end, a late round rookie, dude who's dating the owner's daughter and an injured semi-proven guy.

There may be some better options available when the teams make the first cut down from 90. If a trade for Rudolf isn't in the cards, maybe they could make a pitch for Cameron Brate of Jack Doyle. Both are good players getting little playing time because of a better player ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Kroft is eligible to be put on the Active/PUP list for the summer. If he cannot play by the end of Preseason a decision would have to be made as to Reserve/PUP or IR. I would think that OBD would want to wait to see how the surgery goes and a timeline given before any decision is made. One thing I have noticed in the past is some teams cut one of the lowest 90 roster guys and then bring him back once a player designation is made.

Rockinon Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 They will be running 2 TE sets a lot. Practice will have 2 running with the 1s and 2 running with the 2s. That's 4 TEs all practicing at the same time. Yea, they need another camp body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
