Logic Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The addition of a guy like Mik'Quan Deane -- rather than pursuing a "name" player like a Kyle Rudolph -- tells me they're fine rolling with Knox, Sweeney, and Croom until Kroft comes back healthy. Hopefully the rooks can get up to speed quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 There is no guarantee other than internet/talking head speculation that Vikings would be willing to trade Rudolph to Buffalo at fair price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well take a look at him to see what he’s got. It’s not as if the dudes we cut had any chance of making the team. It’s only been a few days since Kroft went out.

TigerJ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Mik'Quan Deane sounds like an H-back type. He's the smallest and lightest of Buffalo's tight ends. If he gets stronger and can block, I wonder if he could make DiMarco expendable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Wesley, 26, was on Buffalo’s practice squad in 2017 and re-signed for the 2018 offseason. He was assigned to the Bills practice squad again at the start of the 2018 season, but was released in mid-September. He spent the second half of the 2018 campaign on the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts and was re-signed for the 2019 offseason. Wesley however, was just released by the club on Tuesday. A former undrafted rookie signing of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, Wesley appeared in six career games for the Ravens, but has not seen regular season action since."

hemma Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I don’t think Kroft being injured is all bad. Pushes Knox and Sweeney to get up to speed in a hurry. Way too early to panic when the end result could be as good or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had nothing to do with Ford. This was a move to upgrade the depth/competition at tackle. They released one tackle and replaced him with someone they feel is better. Plus, The Bills must clearly like Wesley. They’ve signed him to their practice squad twice, and now grabbed him off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist_to_open Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 1 hour ago, ScottLaw said: Or they don't want to give up compensation and cap space for Rudolph and would rather take the risk with what they have. At some point parting ways with future draft picks for established veterans isn't a bad idea, IMO..... especially when you need to see results on the field. From what I read on PFT today, Randolph is in neogtiations with the Vikes on a longer term spread the payment out deal, although it said they are still far apart and may not actually reach a deal, the Vikes may not be actively shopping him until the talks fall through.

brianthomas Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Deane from his pre draft reports is an athletic TE who was pretty productive his senior year at Western Kentucky, 44 catches for 530 yards & 6 tds. Worth a shot imo. Here's another pre draft scouting report: Edited May 23, 2019 by brianthomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll keep Lee Smith to have a veteran influence to help the young guys and be the main in-line TE. Croom may be the biggest beneficiary of this whole drama.

Hopefully the rooks can get up to speed quickly. This makes no sense to me. Along with the fact that they just signed Lee Smith to a three year contract, adding another TE to the mix makes me suspect that they aren't fine rolling with Knox, Sweeney, and Croom. Would McD expect Sweeney to be more than PS candidate? At the very least, I certainly wouldn't put Sweeney above Knox, Croom, or Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
