Mountain Man Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Just now, eball said: Ok so now their plan comes to light. They weren’t going to expose Hodgins to a waiver claim and worked out a deal with Roberts to return. Well done all around. Hodgins also doesn’t necessarily miss the season given the new IR rules. It's what was being said yesterday. They were being smart about who did and didn't have to go through waivers. At least this way although they were reliant on Roberts and Marlowe sticking to an agreed deal, it's far less risky than via waivers where the player and Bills lose control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 2 question regarding Hodgins. 1. We can use him this year right? After 3 games or 6 games? 2. He has to be in fact injured to be on IR right? Does the league somehow control this so teams don't abuse this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the latest cap numbers include Tre White's massive new contract. Big contracts is the inevitable consequence of having great players and wanting to keep them. 3 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: Hodgins must have the same thing Joseph got last year... Bruised pinkie.

Why not just keep Webb? Marino loathes Fromm and was 100% sure he wouldn’t make the roster so he’s grasping at straws. By the time his most recent podcast came out he admitted he was wrong because he never thought they would keep 3 QBs and he still hates Fromm but thinks the bills have a pipe dream that he could grow into a backup QB and replace barkley on the cheap. Beane said today that they didn’t want to cut him without having ever seen him play in a game. Which from a “draft and develop” perspective makes some sense. Another way that teams get screwed with no preseason. So hard to really evaluate rookies. And if you thought enough of him to use a 5th... btw Marino’s new bold prediction is that epenesa is inactive week 1 Edited September 7, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Considering how strange this year has been and is going to be, I thought we did a really good job of keeping a deep and somewhat talented team. I can't help but feel were missing something on the interior of the d line. Feels like we have no Star power inside. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
