I had several nightmares in which we selected Rudolph.  Woke up in cold sweats.  I don’t think there’s ever been a player I hated so much heading into a draft

 

I think in his first preseason action he threw his first pass for a pick 6 against Green Bay.

 

 

Also, another annual cut-down day reminder...the roster at 4 p.m. today is unlikely to be the roster next Sunday.  There always seem to be additional moves.

Perhaps more this year, with a 16-man PS. Or, perhaps less with the realities of pandemic life?

Sal said by cutting Andre Smith the Bills get their conditional pick back. But now he's in the building and cleared Covid protocol so he can go right on the PS with no 5-day wait 

 

Correctamundo.  I credit Joe B. for pointing this out almost immediately.  Very Beane-like.  Shrewd.

Nothing, but what do they care?  They were going to release him.  Instead, they gave him a chance with a friendly organization.

The wording of the condition might also say if he ever is on the active roster it activates

Surprise to me that neither DiMarco or Andre Smith make it. Leaves them a bit short of inside guys for special teams.


 

Would not surprise me in the least if Smith is called back up when Mongo goes to IR.  I think they felt he could slide through and it may negate the loss of the conditional pick.

 

Win-Win

Imagine the 40 useless threads on individual player news if we didn’t do it this way. Bills have been known to release players to cut down day earlier than most teams, so we planned accordingly. 

 

I understand there are many new openings on the Bears Fan pages. Perhaps you’d feel happier there.

Is it your job as a mod to be condescending and patronizing?

It is, but what was in it for Carolina?

 

Well, we don't know what the condition was?  Perhaps "playing 100 snaps for Buffalo in 2020" was the condition.  Cutting him now, then bringing him back doesn't preclude that occurring.  Also, perhaps the possibility of that shrewdness didn't occur to them.  Or maybe we might do it, but didn't care as they couldn't get anything anywhere else & "giving" him to us might foster a good relationship for future dealings.  I hear we're on pretty good terms w/ Carolina swapping players, coaches & all. ;)

But why go through the work and hassle to make the tread to get nothing for him? If they cared about him they would have let him go on waivers instead and give him a chance to make his own decision where to go sooner instead of sending him off somewhere he may not want to go?

I would say the Bills already have a very good relationship for future deals with Carolina considering this front office wants anyone who leaves there.....

I'd roll with Addison, Epenesa, Hughes and Johnson, with Jefferson being the swing DL.

 

Then I guess the DT's are Phillips, Butler, Oliver and Taylor

 

It seems now it could be about keeping Taylor or Murphy.

I doubt they keep 10 DL.

 

I'm starting to think they actually may cut/trade Murphy.

Murphy has had a few moments here, but he is a MAJOR liability in the run D.

It would be nice if we could trade him, just curious if his cap number is going to be to high for that?

I guess Cam Lewis is a bit of a surprise.

Cam has a Duke like following, albeit not as big, 😁 

 

Both he and Duke are PS bound. 
 

Go Bills!!!
