CLTbills Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I think it depends on injuries at LB. Stanford has been out, Milano is dinged up. If everyone's healthy, he's definitely cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydboy12 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Release him. Sign him to practice squad, ( he will clear waivers), for remainder of season to see if he can become a responsible individual There's some ability there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Practice squad, if the Bills have an open spot. Otherwise cut. There's no time to get a player in game shape, learn the complicated defense, and contribute on the field. If he progresses well on the PS and if there's a need for a LB, bring him up, but that's a long shot at this point. Dodson's real shot will come next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess he's in great shape and has a fair understanding of the D already - though 6 weeks of no practice/contact does hurt. But I agree that he's bound for the PS at best. He's a marginally talented UDFA rook coming off a suspension - hard to see him making the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound like he's a goner. Sounds like what they do will depend upon the injury situation at LB when he comes off suspension, and perhaps be influenced by how well Dodson has stayed in the playbook and stayed in shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have an open slot since they released Marshall (RB). If they don't fill it in the next week, I'd guess they are holding it for Dodson.

Yeah, I was gonna say if they were going to cut him for his off-field stuff then they probably would've done that already. He definitely appears to be a prospect they see something in and wanna work with to see what he can become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of contact really depends on what his fellow players think of him. If they think he would be an asset to team they will use their own time to keep him up to date. A few players suspended or holding out have talked about it and players seemed to know gameplans well including updates since camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only once is he back on the Bills squad would he need to be signed to another team's 53. Every back up LB on this team is expendable. None of them are any good. If Dodson can outplay any of them then bring him back to the 53 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Suspended for charges of domestic violence, I'm guessing he'll draw little to no interest on waivers if he gets released and the Bills would likely sign him and put him on the PS. I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch whether he stays or goes. There are always pre season heroes out there that never do anything after making a team. With Milano seemingly injury prone, having another LB could be of value, whether on the 53 or PS. I don't seem to remember anything he did in Preseason. Of course that could be me.

ngbills Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The guy was undrafted before he was arrested. How many undrafted rookies make the team let alone ones that were arrested and suspended before finishing training camp. Best case for this guy is practice squad.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The NFL has officially lifted the suspension of Bills' rookie LB Tyrel Dodson, who was given the six-game punishment on Sept 12 for a violation of the league's personal conduct policy... He now enters a one-week exemption period, during which he can practice with the team but can't play Sunday vs Washington. Bills have until 4p next Monday to add him to the 53-man roster or release him...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 3 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Bills currently have a LB on the PS, Del'Shawn Phillips . Listed as 6'2", 230 lbs, from Illinois. JuCo guy who worked his way up to Div I "Phillips attended Illinois’ March Pro Day event and posted some very promising numbers. Per 247, Phillips ran a 4.59 40-yard dash, and had team-best results in the vertical jump (37 inches) and broad jump (10’ 1” or 121"). He also lifted 20 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. ". Phillips signed as UDFA with Falcons. Bills picked him up when they cut him. Dodson is listed as shorter and heavier: 6'0, 237 lbs. UDFA from Texas A&M. 4.6 40-yd dash, 118" broad jump, 24 reps bench press. Guess it will come down to does Dodson clear waivers and do they like him better than Phillips? Or do they like them both and keep 2 LB? They haven't resigned Peko and he should have cleared. 8 minutes ago, Hebert19 said: I actually agree.
