YoloinOhio Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) He’s a long shot IMO but if he’s not going to make it, Beane HAS to try to flip him to GB for something instead of cut him, right? Rodgers will not let this go and he’s getting what he wants now. They just traded for Randall Cobb and his terrible contract as a condition of him coming back Edited July 28, 2021 by YoloinOhio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think Kumerow could make it here. I think the 6th spot is most likely him or Hodgins. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I like Jake, he’s sort of a hybrid TE / WR type, gives the QB a lot of options. And he is also a valuable Special Teams player. You know how McBean and company love those ST’ers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It would be a steal if the Bills flip him to GB for a meaningful draft pick. With that said if he is good enough to make the roster than so be it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think we could get a 3rd from GB for him. They have to make Rodgers happy. Otherwise, I'd have him make the team, or see if Minny wants anything for him. Create more drama, and then let GB know they have to give a good pick for him. 1 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Unless there is a player position they have excess in Bills need I can not see a trade. I have not looked at Green Bay's roster like I usually do but if they had a DB perhaps it might be worth trying to trade. I cannot see getting any significant draft pick for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuncha Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Gee.... I wonder why Rodgers didn't express dissatisfaction when Robert Foster was signed off Green Bay's practice squad last season. JK has good potential and I hope the coaches have a plan for him. If not, trade him and get what GB is willing to give up.

He is their own pick so he has that but Kumerow contributed a bit both on offense and teams last year. Hodgins needs to ball out in camp and pre-season to make the roster IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but usually the reason a team makes a trade for a player likely to be cut is to make sure 100% they got him. In this case if we were to cut him, high likelihood GB would make the best offer and Rodgers would be on the phone with him so can't see Green Bay giving up anything in a trade. On the other hand if some other team wanted him could see them swooping in with a trade to grab him before Green Bay has a chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody is sleeping on Marquez Stevenson. He was drafted in the same round as Hodgins was last season and 99.9% of Bills fans are strangely raving about and penciling in Hodgins on the 53 while cutting Stevenson - when they've both played the same amount of snaps in the NFL. I feel that Stevenson's strengths of speed and return ability are needed more in this WR core than Hodgins size and red zone ability. McKenzie has shown a proclivity for fumbling in the return game throughout his career. They generally rolled out Micah Hyde to return Punts over him. There's a reason why a specialist was drafted this season. The way I see it, Marquez Stevenson, Isaiah Hodgins, and Jake Kumerow are battling for one spot. I tend to feel that Kumerow making the 53 is pretty much slim to none - short of injuries or something else unforeseen. I think they hope he'll be on our Practice Squad to call up in the event of injury. Which means GB can sign him to their 53 whenever they want anyways. I'd get on the phone with them now. If you can get something for him, do it. I like Touchdown Jesus quite a bit. But if you can get an asset for someone you'll lose for nothing anyways - get ahead of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I do recall seeing rodgers throw a TD to JK in the regular season in GB. Josh threw one to him also. But, JK did round trip to NO last season as the Bills cut him free once. Hodgkins really has to show he is a player though, we already know JK is. Prediction: Hodgkins cut and to the PS. JK makes it to the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Think the guy has skill, would like to see him in the team. Very least, PS. That being said, if GB wanted him, they had a chance to grab him for free when we waived him last season. Had to know it stuck in Rodgers craw he was released. With the practice squad rules last year, wouldn’t have been an issue to sign him and stash him there at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, almost all of Lee Smith's TD's were designed to go to him to catch the defense off guard. I remember one that had Diggs running wide open, but Allen threw it to Smith when he slipped out unnoticed because that was the design. But yeah, your point is valid. Just, sometimes it isn't because the defense is covering the stars, it's because the play design purposefully targets other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
