I hope I'm very wrong on this. Losing 5 days for "close contact" just isn't good for our team or any team. I'm not saying Beasley is the only one who runs that risk, but it doesn't look like the Bills took that into consideration at all. Well two of Bills WR are unvaxed and they kept 7 WR so maybe they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he will be re-signed tomorrow. Just interesting that Sweeney made it I think Sweeney had a good camp and appears ready to contribute. 26 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said: A bit surprised about Hodgins. I thought I heard he was having a good camp. Not sure who you cut to keep him though. I’m assuming they’ll try to sign him to the practice squad. Agreed, they’ll try for PS. I may be alone on this, but I don’t think McBeane want to IR Horrible Harry -if he’s as close to returning as Sean has implied. He’s earned a spot here.

With the NFL protocols, he could miss all kinds of time, just for walking by people. If they want Hodgins on the PS, I doubt there'll be a problem with him clearing waivers. He's had zero regular season experience, and there's almost no tape on him, and there's a lot of FA talent out there. Hell, Smoke Brown is walking the streets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 17 minutes ago, FieldGeneral said: Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Hodgins having a better camp last year prior to the injuries than Davis? I understand injuries can derail careers, but is he really not worth the effort of putting him on IR? IR ends his season. Is he not worth the effort of putting him on the PS? Then he might actually get a chance to play in an NFL game and can continue practicing. He was not worth keeping on the 53 as the 8th best receiver.

SirAndrew Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I mean, overall, picks in the 5th round or later have something like what, 20% chance to make an NFL roster? That’s true, I’d actually be curious how many fifth round picks statistically make the roster in their second season. This team is going places, so the release of Fromm isn’t a big deal, it just makes me question the plan for backup next season. They’re going to spend more resources on bringing in a backup next season, when Fromm was already on the roster. I’m not sure if this means he didn’t develop as well as they hoped ? I just find it to be one of the more interesting cuts. He was placed in a bubble last season, never getting the chance to have a real rookie season. I’d rather have taken a shot on a corner or offensive linemen in that case. It’s only a fifth round pick, that’s true, but Fromm definitely followed a different path that made it feel like he never had much of a chance.

BillsFanForever19 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) I don't think Gunner, myself, or anyone else thinks that Taiwan is a superstar player. We just saw, quite clearly, that there were a large number of factors pointing to him being very safe. If not, a lock. So when very vocal members would build a case against these obvious factors - it created a back and forth stalemate with both sides convinced their reasoning was correct and refusing to back down.

We were supposedly around 80%, and some were saying that would drop further w/ the cuts (not sure why). The rate will drop because out of the 90 guys with an 80% rate means 17 unvaccinated players - the assumption is that the majority of the bubble guys would be vaccinated to make sure that they are not cut for that. Now you cut to 53 and all 17 unvaccinated are in the 53 - now you rate is 68%. It is simple math based upon an uneven distribution of vaccinated versus unvaccinated players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, we have the same CB's we had last season. The only difference being Dane Jackson takes the place of Josh Norman. I'm assuming Cam Lewis returns to the Practice Squad and Rachad Wildgoose takes Dane Jackson's place there this year. They seem to be a lot more comfortable and confident in their core there than people realize.

There are a few older veterans among the unsigned, but the Bills have shown no interest in any of them. The possibility of a quality CB being released by another team is slim. Most would be no better than those the Bills just cut. I expect at least a couple will end up on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
