YoloinOhio Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Rex is gone so we won’t be keeping 2 kickers. He’s pretty decent. Jets need to find a kicker before our game. They had a pro bowl kicker and decided to let him walk (?) despite having gobs of cap space and are now in a bad place. Have a feeling they claim McLaughlin off waivers when he’s cut. They are 3rd in waiver order. Edited August 30, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Too bad Beane couldn't find a way to trade him for something! Jets wouldn't make a trade knowing they're so high in the waiver order, but is there another team that needs one to keep him from going there?

Chandler#81 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Agreed, the kid is fantastic! Pretty sure he made every kick he attempted and boomed KOs through the end zone. He’ll be picked up, I’m sure. Hope we made the right choice.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he had touchbacks on all 7 of his KO's but he only attempted 2 FGs (although his long was 54 yards). Hopefully the Bills don't regret re-signing SH and letting him walk.

Beane could see if he could find a trading partner. Chase McLaughlin for a 2021 7th round pick. That's chump change, but if it can keep a decent kicker out of Jetsland, it's worth it.

gonzo1105 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I wonder if the Bills are actively trying to trade him. He’s def good enough to be an NFL kicker. I’d be really curious to see if he can punt. Gotta remember Pat McAfee was a college kicker who transitioned to Punting in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
