ColoradoBills Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 3 minutes ago, Limeaid said: If he was going to be resigned to PS likely he would not have been waived/injured. Right. The injury seems pretty slight but it probably means no one picks him up on waivers and he is free to look for a team as a FA once he clears. Lets the rest of the WRs know who are looking at being cut that they have a better chance at PS too. Win win and a good move by all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must not let memories of THE CHROISEN ONE die... for posterity sake. Cotton, you and I have been around long enough to know the prophesies of old. “And out of the land of milk and honey, between the Euphrates and Tigris, a child shall be born. You shall call him the Chroison one. For his charisma, poise, Golden arm, and pearly smile will save ye people of Buffalo.” But people may have forgotten this part of the prophecy: “And from the line of The Chroison one shall be born a son. And he shall Beget a son who shall beget a son, who shall hail from the Mountain West and shall be the one to lead thee to the promised land.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 He didnt have much of chance with the depth this year or last for that matter. His real shot came two years ago and even though he performed quite well, it wasnt good enough. If he had come down with that TD vs the Texans, things might have been different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 4 hours ago, cage said: I'm sure its nothing, but interesting look on Allen's face as he congratulates Duke on the TD pass. I don't think I've ever seen him look that way, he's usually pretty "in the moment" when celebrating a TD w/ one of his receivers. It was a 4th quarter TD pass to take the lead, you would think he would be amped up. Its peculiar.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he passes waivers, not sure he can be placed on PS? Yeah, I know if he placed on IR then given and injury settlement, he's a FA and can sign with any team except the Bills for the rest of the season. Not sure if waived/injured is considered the same thing and has the same rules or not?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that the Bills will want to take the time continuing to develop a 28 year old WR who just can't seem to quite make the team year after year.

Not sure if waived/injured is considered the same thing and has the same rules or not?? Yeah, waived/injured is sort of the first part of an injury settlement for a player subject to waivers. If the player is claimed, fine; if he isn't the team can reach an injury settlement with him (or IR him). The injury settlements apparently have clauses against "double dipping" so if another team has interest it's simpler if he's just claimed.

And people were shocked that he wasn't Jerry ***** Rice that day. I think the kid has enough talent to crack a 53 and put up some numbers. On the Bills? No. Like you said, they have better receivers.

The Bills took a chance of him from the CFL when no other team did. They then gave him repeated chances, and gave him multiple long stints on the practice squad to develop and prove himself. He got far more of a chance than most do in those circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he had a memorable drop, but that happens, bummer for him that it ends for now at least. Hopefully, he finds a new team and some opportunity to play.
