All I’ve seen is only the teams participating in the International Pathways Program get the roster exemption. Which kind of makes sense. If he signs with the Bills through the program he can’t be elevated to the active roster. Why limit a player to only being able to sign with one team if he could possibly be made active on another? If you get what I mean. Wouldn’t be fair to the player. Unless he would prefer to sit and learn, with the Bills. It’s also up to Wade, if he signs to another teams PS, he might have a chance of being activated to their active roster whereas if he signs to the Bills PS, he’s there all season no matter what. Only if he is the 11th man exemption. If he signs on the regular 10 man PS he can be activated throughout the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If signed to the regular PS, teams could take him but for their 53 (and since he wasn't claimed while making very little), I doubt anyone is going to swipe him off the PS from Buffalo, they may make an offer to put him on the PS though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want him for a PS.... As soon as regular season starts and injuries happens Adams is gonna get phone calls. Don't think he would last long on a teams practice squad. Gotta think about stuff like that... You want to use a PS to develop players for your team in the future and not to get poached by other teams when an injury happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Mueller Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Seems kinda funny to put another team's cuts on your PS... instead of the guys from your own training camp roster that you've been working with all spring and summer long. Maybe what we're seeing is teams reaching out for guys that they had wanted to take in the 2019 draft... or maybe tried to sign as UDFA after the draft but got outbid for that player.

They count the PS as guys that on are the team just like the 53 and have to be ready to play immediately if called upon. And what if one of the Bills get injured, wouldn't you want a guy who is good and has shown he can play at this level already but is still young? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time they've seen those guys up close and have a better idea of who's got it and who doesn't. The guys they really liked and were tough to cut might make the ps but the rest are probably going to be replaced by other guys they want to get a look at.

If I was a team it would certainly be a factor in who I would sign. It wouldn't be the final determining factor. But if I'm down to a couple players and I feel one has a better shot to stolen.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Somehow, some way, a NY Jet 3rd round draft pick named Polite, accumulated over $100,000 in fines in freakin' training camp for tardiness and the like, which led to his release and not being claimed. He signed with the Seahawks PS I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why I might think twice about that is that Cardale Jones (similar in many ways to Jackson) looked pretty bad as well during the little playing time he got with the Bills... but he looked much more polished and disciplined playing for the Raiders during preseason games this year. They call certain quarterbacks "projects" at draft time every year... but it's seldom that those guys are given enough time to learn how too read defenses, run their target progressions... or learn how to get rid of the ball when the pocket starts to break down. That's what I would use the practice squad for... particularly with quarterbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Doc said: I’d sign him to the regular PS. Personally, I think it would be a better idea to use the exemption and give him a full year to learn the game of football, and then give him a legit chance to make the roster next year. Wade just started learning the game of football for the first time in his life a few months ago. Guys were saying that he had to be taught things that they learned way back in their pop-Warner leagues. Even the most basic football concepts were new to him. He even said himself that people don’t realize just how little he knows about football. I think eh could benefit from a year on the practice squad more than most.
