Unless Bills have a gentleman's agreement with Hollister, they cut him to IR a player once the 53 are set, the scenario numerous folks have outlined. Then you save $550K by going with Hollister. Hard to understand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sweeney is the only one left on the roster. Maybe they keep just Knox and Gilliam so they can keep more depth at other positions. Maybe they already signed/traded for another TE and it just hasn't been announced yet. Edited August 31, 2021 by Allen2Diggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkreed Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 When do we hear that Wade is placed on protected PS?(unless they already IRd him). Is so, I would have expected that a long time ago...Or are we not counting him at this time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17islongenough Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Why is everyone shocked by Hollister? I thought everyone knew that this was possible to cut and then sign him back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Phillips Possible I could be wrong, and Joe B could have some insider info that says Phillips needs this much time, but if we IR him now we can't get him back until Game 4. That would mean he's got a 7 week injury - which he could have. But he's been seen walking around at practice with just a compression sleeve on his leg, not a brace. That MIGHT imply it's a grade 1 sprain, which I've had, and it was more like 4 weeks until I was back at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they need to protect Hodgins The only thing is if he's still injured, I don't think they can cut him and re-sign him. So they would need to do the handshake thing? I dunno, I'm not sure how those rules apply to practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They doing the cut and re-sign with Hollister instead of T.Jones Just how much do you think we should dismantle our ST from last season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hollister makes zero sense to me as a cut. I honestly thought he could push Knox for the starting job. Why not keep him as the primary backup is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenson would be unlikely since he played vs GB. If we really thought McKenzie would be out for another 6 weeks I doubt we cut Sims and Powell. Sweeney seems the most likely.
