When did Lamp even get hurt? McDermott made it seem the other day like Phillips was the only potential serious injury.

 

Thought Lamp would be good depth.

 

I think he got hurt signing his contract. 

 

McDemott was referring to recent guys. At least that was the way I interpreted and guys like Lamp who haven't been practicing for awhile weren't being referenced.

This will not be the last Duke thread.  If Duke gets a tryout, a camp invite, gets accepted as regional duchy manager of Staples, there will be more threads.

fixed.

To think, this dude was starting a Wild Card game for us.  
 

What could have been if he made the TD grab before half..

I think he had the most targets that game.

 

I think about that game often.  In retrospect, I’m glad we lost.   May not have landed Diggs with a lower draft pick to offer MN with NE lurking around.

how cute to Label this the “last Duke Williams” thread. We are still talking about Gibran Hamdan on here 7 years later…

Gibran Hamdan?!  Duke Williams?!

Who will be the next Duke Williams?

 

Right now Isaiah Hodgins has the inside track. I'm pulling for the kid but i'm not sure he will ever be a regular on the 53.

Honestly more interested in the "motor/moss/breida" comment.  I would assume if that's the case then Josh is also not going to play.

 

Duke will probably go to the PS.  

 

We are going 4th pre season game lineup against GB. I am sure of it

[Rico]

So long, good luck, and goodbye Duke.

 

You were just born & came here too late, probably would've been an upgrade over Donald Jones.

That'd be Kumerow.

Writing was on the wall. Legend of Kumerow has surpassed Duuuke of late. We have too much WR talent to keep Duke. I mean, for God’s sake, we couldn’t even keep John Brown at 3.5 mill - that’s how good we are one thru six..

 

That said, Duke really beat the odds to be with us for this long. So long Duke!! Thanks for the memories.

Miyagi, my good fellow... you are spot on per usual!

 

We must not let memories of THE CHROISEN ONE die... for posterity sake.

I get that feeling also. 

 

Figured they might give the starters at least a series though but sounds like everyone is ready for the start of the season instead. 

[NewEra]

Thanks for being a professional and buying into the Bills culture.  He’s been a class act and wish him the best.

Lamp was injured heading into Training Camp.  Lower Leg - I believe.

 

McD was talking about guys injured in the Chicago game.

[FilthyBeast]

Sucks for the Duke but we all knew that good players were going to get cut and not make this team.

 

And if anything Beane and McDermott probably told him they weren't sure he'd be signed to the practice squad again so by making this move now it gives him a chance to catch on with another team and won't be surprised if he's starting and producing for another team later this season if he's healthy.

[wppete]

A sad day indeed. He will be missed 😢.

The end of an era folks.. 

To be filed away with Bryant Johnson, Brandon Reily, my personal favorite Da’Rick Rodgers… It’s been a fun ride and an insane amount of debate that I’m happy is over 

....will Kumerow be next in line?

sucks for lamp but im sure duke will end up on the PS

 

If he was going to be resigned to PS likely he would not have been waived/injured.
