Ā I believe he was in town from last week after the Kumerow signing. Ā He was tested and finally cleared protocol- then the Bills did a physical and signed him today. Ā Yesterday was most likely is physical and initial meeting. Ā The difference is as a nobody - he was getting tested and no one says anything or notices. Ā A veteran that people follow on Twitter makes it a big deal. Ā Just like today they brought in Gentry - they do this to begin the process because this year with COVID it takes a week to get a guy onto your roster. Ā Would not be the least bit surprised if this new guy gets a call up as a PS player and then is dumped for Stills next week after Stills clears. Ā Depends on special teams and additional injuries.

Ā Beane said early in the season - it takes time to sign these guys because they have to clear to sign - if they officially sign him now - they would need to clear space before he clears protocol - so you lose a spot for a minimum of 5 days. Ā Therefore it is a deal in place and once he clears they will make it official. Ā Also - I donāt believe they can do a physical exam until he clears COVID protocol. Ā You do not want him potentially exposing anyĀ of the Bills medical staff - which could then spread through the team. Ā The official signing will come Sunday or more likely Monday and then he will begin to get acclimated to the team. Ā Ā Physical can be done byĀ a doctor hired by the Bills at an off site revenue.Ā This is likely where he will get his covid testing done as well.

Agreed, but my guess is the Full Bills staff will do another physical once he clears protocol as part of the signing process.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā And honestly, I wouldn't doubt if they gave him additional check ups during his 6 days.Ā It's probably the best thing about the 6 day protocol is that you can keep testing a player without having to sign him (whether it be for covid or injury).

This would be an awesome acquisition. It would put their receiving corps on par with the Chiefs. Allowing their rotation to be more powerful/explosive.

This year's numbers could be skewed by sample size, but the evidence points to both Diggs and Davis being more likely options for increased snaps in the slot.Ā Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Ā Ā If healthy Stills brings some veteran savvy, Ā excellent deep ball tracking and decent contested catch skillĀ to the Z or X position. Ā The past couple weeks Allen has thrown the best deep balls of his career. Ā Unfortunately Gabe Davis hasn't been very efficient on contested deep tosses. Ā He had one where he unnecessarily left his feet to catch a ball on the sidelines and got pushed out.............and he has had a couple where I thought he showed his inexperience when he he was in position to draw a couple PI calls at least and didn't do enough to sell it. Ā If they get in a track meet where they can't give away a possessionĀ Stills experience might really help. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā All true.Ā It should also be said, I haven't watched the Texans and am going by the stats but his catch % wasn't great in Miami (52.7%), was good last year in Houston, but was poor again this year (58%) and he had a lot of drops (3 out of 19 targets, 16%) Ā Still, as noted, he's a cut above the typical "guy on a couch waiting for a call" FA you sign this time of year.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 McDermott said on wgr that beane has had his eye on stills for a while, which leads me to believe that maybe beasley is not as bad injury wise as alot of people think.
