billieve420 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 If the Kumerow signing happens. Swapping him in and replacing Foster looks like an upgrade so no huge loss there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a source for this? I have not seen the conditions that were agreed to. If it was snap or plays based as a Buffalo Bill - the conditions might still be met and they would still get the pick. If the condition was making the initial roster (typical) then yes the Bills would get their pick back. I have been looking, but have not seen a tweet on the conditions of the pick.

BillsFanForever19 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, apuszczalowski said: Why would that affect them signing the player though? Other teams have signed players from other teams to their PS This would only affect the player being able to join the team at the teams facility for Practice. Because this regime is the type to not announce anything until all the 'i's' are dotted and the 't's' are crossed and they get them in the building for a physical. They've been even more so overly cautious during COVID. The entire world knew Brian Winters was coming to Buffalo. But Beane refused to call it a done deal in radio interviews for close to a week until they did all their COVID protocols. Other teams are less conservative and don't mind if they have to announce later that it fell through.

Plus it allows them to sign 2 additional players and get them some info and planning in case either deal falls through. My guess is this impacts Duke Williams as a PS player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 4 hours ago, CSBill said: I read somewhere on this board that beyond their top two, the Pack's receiving group was terrible. Hmmm? Kumerow isn't going to become a star, but he's big and dependable, and can block. He's 6'4 1/2" and runs a 4.54, not too bad for a big guy. And he's a process guy all the way. He has played in and started a few games. You can do a lot worse for a practice squad player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 2 hours ago, ICanSleepWhenI'mDead said: As I understand it, after Foster cleared waivers, he was free to sign on to the practice squad of any team that wanted him. It's certainly possible that the Bills didn't want him. It's also possible that both the Bills and GB wanted him, but he felt he would have a better chance of being later elevated to the 53 on the Packers rather than the Bills. With 2 of this year's WR draftees kept on the Bills' 53 while he was cut, I could understand Foster thinking he would have better future opportunities elsewhere. Of course that’s possible. Perhaps we will find out if the Bills had any continuing interest and perhaps not. I tend to think not. This is his third kick at the can with the Bills. He was awful last year, after some promising signs the year before. He apparently did nothing to convince the Bills he was worth another year of development.

Brand J Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 5 hours ago, John from Riverside said: We dodged a bullet on that one I can’t help but wonder if Rosen was drafted by the Bills and afforded the same level of stability and support as Allen, would he still be a dumpster fire? I do think superstars will become what they were destined to be, but only if given a real chance to succeed. No doubt in the history of the league there were perennial All Pro players riding a bench who never got that chance and thus bounced around or were out of the league in a few years. Granted, it’d probably take less than ten fingers to count the number of those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets will be lucky to win four games. The Dolphins have added a lot of talent and have a solid coach, but they’ve had no off season so I don’t see it as their year. Maybe 7 wins at best. The Pats making a double digit win season is a stretch. If I had to guess, I’d say 8-9 wins. Then again, I don’t see us doing more than 10-11 wins. We have one of the toughest schedules in the league, so the 12 game prediction is a stretch. We would still win the East, and be battle hardened from playing teams like the Seahawks, 49ers, Chiefs, Cardinals, and Broncos. All should be very good teams, plus the Titans, and the Steelers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
