Trade a guy who isn't going to make the 53 for another guy who isn't going to make the 53... Getting in a practice rep before the Clowney trade.

And as a rookie if he shows well enough (not counting on him to make the team) but having a versatile OL on the PS never an issue McDermott did and is in concussion protocol now don't remember hearing anything about Feliciano and he practiced today.

Ty Nsekhe also did not practice with the team on Friday and Mitch Morse remains in concussion protocol. Edited August 9, 2019 by Limeaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Makes a ton of sense with Bodine out multiple weeks with the oblique thing and the other injuries. Smart move by Beane even if the guy gets cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCbillsfan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 9 minutes ago, Binghamton Beast said: I’m not speaking about Harold. I’m just would like to know their thinking behind bringing Bates in and who does this spell trouble for. Though Bates can play tackle, he has versatility and my bet is this gives some direct competition to Teller and Bodine. If Bates can play well (UFA but who knows?) Bates can bring to the team what both of those guys can’t. Bodine was hurt last night and Conor McDermott is experiencing concussion like symptoms. Bates in the short term is a healthy body for the OL. Scouting reports suggests that Bate is not NFL ready and at best is a practice squad possibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I actually love these type of trades. Move a guy off your roster that you know isn’t making the 53 or PS for a guy that may not make your 53 but is a rookie and will go to PS. And the fact the trade happened tells tells me that Bills did like him at Draft Time. Maybe they couldn’t get a UDFA deal with him because agent saw the amount of OL we had already. So instead using a piece we were not keeping for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 9 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: he is a rookie. So would you rather end up Cutting Harold final cuts to not go to PS. Or get a Rookie UDFA in the System now where if he gets cut he goes to PS? Yea it's a smart long term move because Harold wasn't offering us anything and we got a rookie they can try to mold But they can also try to stash him on the PS and lose him.. he needs a year bulking up because his play strength isn't at NFL level yet It's a no risk move His best position might be center so let him develop on the PS and learn from Morse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Corey Thompson. (Granted Defense) but still developed on PS to someone that I think can make the team and contribute this year. 1 minute ago, Cripple Creek said: Pretty much what Wood indicated. In control.

DJB Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Im happy with this deal. No chance Eli Harold was making this team. Darryl Johnson looks so far like hes secured that 4th DE spot.

Philo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I would be nervous if I was McGhin. I thought he was going to be the PS developmental guy, but now they brought in another versatile UDFA.
