ChattanoogaBills Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Assuming he can return by week 10 at full strength this is not that bad. I would perfer to have him for the stretch run as opposed to him playing early and hurt later. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) When we signed he and Johnson, I assumed each would be available about half the year. They both appear to have talent. If we can get 19 games out of them combined, I will be pleased. Edited August 10, 2019 by JoeF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Yep .. he is injury prone.. Hence why he only gets paid $1.7 Mil.. If they can get 10 games out of him you take it at that price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) With cornerback EJ Gaines on IR with a groin injury, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott turn to some help. Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network is reporting that Captain Munnerlyn is signing with the Bills. In ten seasons with the Panthers and Vikings, Captain posted 529 tackles, 10.5 sacks and 12 interceptions. As Garafolo said, the 31 year old Munnerlyn will bring stability and experience to the Bills secondary.

That means, anyone who was placed on IR before roster cuts were made to trim the roster down to 53 players is not eligible. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2018/8/31/17797904/explaining-pup-nfi-ir-other-injury-nfl-roster-designations-cuts-53-man-roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 This could be a blessing in disguise. It frees up roster space(Pitts makes team?). We don't need to cut a CB who would instantly be signed by another team. And it is a CB in bank for playoff run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, it is an odd comment. This is a "problem" that good teams have, and right now, it looks like there may be a few players on the Bills that will be in a different uniform in 3 weeks, although mainly in backup roles. It doesn't matter, really, other than the fact that watching a player cut from the Bills flourishing on another team can be a bit annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Gaines is a really good player but this is a good decision because there are to many good players on this team now to hold a roster spot & a maybe !!

PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 As a UB fan, I'm thrilled to hear how well Cam Lewis is playing. He's more likely to start the year on the practice squad, but he'll be the first call-up when someone gets nicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
