Bills to work out TE Alex Ellis

With the Bills tight ends room currently in COVID-19 protocol the Bills could be bringing in several tight ends to play.  The Bills will have to keep Elliss in town for six days before signing him if they do in fact plan to do so.

 

The Bills can probably get the TEs back other than Knox fairly quick since they were tested and found not to have virus.

Wonder if they’re shutting Knox down.

 

I doubt that's on their minds.  But if you look at the NFL's rules about when players can return, there are a large number of unknowns (symptoms/no symptoms etc).

We could have everyone in the room back by Weds/Thurs or we could have Knox and Smith on the covid-19 reserve list for a month or more

I throw it in this thread now that we're talking TEs.

 

Logan Thomas had 4 catches on 4 targets, 60 yards and a TD for the Washington football team. I guess he found his place in the NFL, good for him. 

 

I will never forget the block he threw against the Phins on an Ivory near TD run

I’m worried about the concussions not the COVID...

I thought he had potential and as former QB had an advantage in understanding what QBs were looking for.  He was at wrong place for a QB to be developed.

 

Briefly talked to him when he was watching a Bills game at Bills bar during his bye week.

So far I have been happy with Kroft, but we are an injury away from being in trouble.

 

A game-changer at TE would be nice, but Allen just needs that TE with reliable hands who can out-position and highpoint the ball as that security blanket.

 

Having that TE outlet IMO helps Allen settle down and find his rhythm.

 

Kroft is doing that now, and the investment waiting for him to get healthy is starting to pay dividends.

IMO Knox has proven to be a draft bust. This organization has gone far too long without a legit pass catching TE. Not sure bringing in some scrub like Ellis is going to help much...

It won't.  This guy has been on 6 different teams in 4 years. He has 3 career catches for 11 yards. I have no faith in Knox whatsoever.  We saw stumble foot Kroft wide open. It's like opposing teams don't even gameplan our TE's. We have to strive for someone better than Ellis.

Ellis was a high school QB and walked on as a WR at Tennessee before winning a scholarship as tight end.  Interesting footnote: Ellis is diabetic.

 

Charles Jones II timed at 4.9 in the 40 at his pro day.  Not the fastest ever, but then it is late October, not exactly prime free agent season.  On the bright side, he does have a few NFL snaps with Jacksonville.

ENOUGH with the cheap also-rans!!!

 

We've got lots of guys who make one or two plays a game. We need consistent, reliable contributors, as long as they're at a fair price.

 

What would it take to get Rudolph from MN? He turns 31 in 2 weeks, which is isn't that bad. Probably 4-5 productive years left.

 

I lived in MN until a year ago, so I saw him play often. He was never that athletic, and would never outrun linebackers. But he has feather pillows for hands, and is a nice big target.

 

Beane, make it happen!!

Foster Moreau is a guy i really like. He’s been pushed down the depth chart and is running #3 right now behind Waller and Witten. It might be worth a look, or at least an inquiry.

 

The Evan Engram idea makes sense depending on the cost. 
 

Maybe make a call to the Seahawks. Jacob Hollister is also running #3 on their depth chart behind Olsen and Dissly, plus he’s got that chemistry with Josh Allen and knowledge of the offense from his days with the Pats.

I am not sure why anyone believes the Giants would trade Engram.  He is their best option in the passing game, he is only 26, and is under contract for 2021.


I think it is one of those change of scenery type deals. The guy has potential, but will probably never be good in NY.
