I don't believe in gentleman's agreements when money in on the line.  Hollister is now allowed to negotiate with any team.  It could cost the Bills more than 550k than what they were going to pay Hollister.

 

What does this mean?  You don't believe they occur?  Bills did them 2x last cutdown day, with Roberts and Dean Marlowe.

Or you don't think they're a good idea?

 

Part of what makes them fly is that the re-signed player gets something for it - a bit more signing bonus, salary guarantees as if they'd been on the 53

If Hollister is offered a better contract to go elsewhere, I'm sure part of the deal is his agent will call the Bills and give them the chance to match

Sure - i'm not sure anyone else can guarantee him playing time with an all-pro QB that he personally knows quite well.  He also spent an entire camp here and feels good about playbook, role, etc.  It'd be a rather large risk to squeeze an extra couple hundred K out of bufflao/another team.  This is probably his best chance at a good pay day next year.

Hollister is a prime candidate for this though, I can't imagine he'd get much more from anywhere else plus he has to know that he's going to get plenty of playing time here so that's not going to be a factor either.

All this hand wringing about Jacob Hollister?

 

He's an alright player but nothing earth shattering.  The most catches he ever had in a game is 8.  The most yards he has ever had in a game is 64.  He has 6 tds in 4 years.

 

I get the Josh connection and perhaps he does come back after some maneuvering, but this isn't a huge loss if that doesn't happen.

 

Here is a knox/Hollister comparison

 

Knox: 52 catches, 676 yards, 5 tds in 2 years

Hollister: 74 catches, 652 yards (!), and 6 tds

 

Hollister has played with Russ Wilson and Brady so he didn't have scrubs throwing it to him either...

 

Edit:  Seeing the current TE depth chart, I imagine Sweeney goes to IR after making the 53 and Hollister is re-signed as others have said.

Well, he looked good in preseason, the Josh connection isn't nothing, and the current compliment of healthy TEs is Knox and the FB Gilliam. The concern is not ridiculous.

Yeah I edited while you were responding.  I didn't see the additional TE cuts.  I think this was just done to move Sweeney to IR before Hollister is re-signed.

Thanks for the simple summary. The list looks a lot like the Jeopardy answer to: Who are a bunch of football players you’ve never heard of.

Yes, I actually posted on the generic scenario and agreed with the Sweeney IR likelihood upthread. Your tone did not make sense to me, but understandable if you were ignorant concerning the other TE cuts. I like Becker, so I hope we bring him back to PS.

Stevenson left the game against Green Bay injured. I think they must feel good that one of Stevenson and Isaiah is good to go.... doesn't necessarily mean both are to me. 

 

Wasn't Stevenson a "head injury" possible concussion I assumed, so usually not out more than 2 to 3 weeks at most.  And if he was still suffering from concussion after 3 weeks, then he might want to be thinking of a different profession.

Expect him to be inactive every week. He’s nowhere close to being ready. 

Agreed.  He atleast has a shot. By mid season working on one position I think he will be alright if needed.
