Wade needs to develope quickly. If speed is what you want, why are you so broken up over Shady?

Doc Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 1 minute ago, Rbleyle said: After the trades and cuts we should have a pretty healthy cap number both this year and heading into next. Just from shady and Bodine we added more than $8 Mil. Spotrac has them at $32.6M with the top-51, which should be $31 with the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. it was kind of my point...…...I agree with you so hence the shock I would even question he being named to the roster is a bit ironic....I think he WILL be on the roster and am happy we found a guy who can contribute that late in the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaninATL Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 5 minutes ago, Margarita said: Its a subjective call many wouldn't have predicted Duke Williams being cut either. Yes it would have been an unlikely surprise I believe he has earned it but have there been guaranteed 7th round locks in Bills history? Duke was a 50/50 call. Not suggesting Sweeney was a lock from the get-go, but by all accounts he has earned it esp. when Knox was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would have been an unlikely surprise I believe he has earned it but have there been guaranteed 7th round locks in Bills history? Duke not making the team shouldn't have caught anyone off guard. He caught 2 nice jump ball TDs, but once you got away from jump balls he didn't do much. Averaged under 9 yards a catch against talent he should've been dominating. He's already 26 years old & way too slow to play WR in the NFL. IMO Sweeney has been pretty much a lock for several weeks now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) With Pitts, Lacy, and McCoy cut, I think that puts Perry on the roster. Depth RB with ST ability. Edit: or they could find somebody else off waivers to fill that role. Perry didn't necessarily impress when he got his chances.

Put him on the PS and spend the year gaining ~25 pounds & convert him to a TE. He's got a big frame, strong hands & is a really good blocker. I think he would excel at TE once he knows the position. ...surprised about Duke....read a McBeane quote(paraphrased), "the signing of Duke Williams made drafting a WR early not a top priority"...interesting....didn't think Shady would be a definite goner, but he has one year left.....any GM in the league would wait out Bills cuts versus trading a pick for one year.....guys like Gore (36) and D (33) defy odds and just "keep on tickin'".....not so sure Shady is in that category..........

If they kept Duke, he would've only been used in the Redzone. I don't think McBeane wanted to keep a player on the 53 man roster just for that. JMO.
