Is it Duke and Zimmerman gone (matching positions)? Or is it the extra TE, DB, or OL - maybe even DE? I am sure that they would love to keep all of these guys. What a nice dilemma to have - to much talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just aren't here yet. 44 minutes ago, Artyom0309 said: Edited September 7, 2020 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talk that they will be after Covid clearance. Personally I like what I see so far. I'm sure there will constantly be tweeking by Beane of this. 26 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Both are already listed on the PS so no one has to get cut. They just aren't here yet. Based upon the list released by the Bills and on the web site - these are the 17 members of the PS. Kumerow and Slayton are not listed and the PS is full. To add these 2 - they will need to cut 2 of the guys above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get why Carolina did that deal unless Beane owes them a similar favor down the road I'm going with the theory that CAR let Smith know the Bills were interested and he "begged" them to trade him instead of going on to the waiver wire and getting picked up by someone else!

Do you know what the Bills staff really thought of these guys or what they were looking for in a PS DT? Maybe Smart said something, but just looking at him as a highly religious person - I would doubt it. I would more hazard a guess they were looking for a more stout run stopper on the DL - more along the lines of Slayton who they are bringing in. I heard good things about Smart also, but in the end they can only keep so many and my guess is it was more about the Bills allowing him to leave rather than Smart saying something and causing him to get cut. I think if Vincent Taylor had not been claimed - neither guy makes the PS, but with Taylor getting claimed maybe the Bills decide size was more important. I would just be really hesitant to assume that Smart acted out and it “sealed his fate”. Just does not seem in character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have not heard anything, much less good, about that Justin Zimmer kid who they put on the PS, or even a handful of other players they put on the PS, whereas I heard Smart did well in the scrimmage. And there were 17 PS spots so you could add just about anybody. Which led me to believe it was something personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Each week, every NFL teams gets to protect four of their practice squad players from being able to sign contracts with other clubs. Those players must be declared by 4 p.m. on Tuesday. This week, the Bills have chosen to protect cornerbacks Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis, as well as defensive tackle Justin Zimmer and offensive lineman Evan Boehm. https://www.radio.com/wgr550/sports/bills/bills-add-receiver-jake-kumerow-to-the-practice-squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
