Just a move to IR someone as you said, Hollister was not only one of the few players they could do this move with, but I believe he was the cheapest one in terms of the cap to do it with too. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) 4 year vets are excluded from waivers and are automatic free agents, has played well enough in a key position to get more guaranteed money, more than the $135k he signed for, mutually beneficial...another wise move by the front office to open a slot, then IR a keeper for short-term and then bring Holister back after that happens Edited August 31, 2021 by First Round Bust 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 He should drop his first name Jacob, and demand to be called 'TE' from now on. Maybe even get a detective show on TV when he retires: 'TE Hollister'. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybrew1 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 BIG LEE SMITH NEWS!!! It looks like he made the Falcons roster so I'm hoping that that solidifies our 7th rd. Pick from them. I figure it is either that, or he has to suit up for a game and play a play..... I want two sixes and two sevens for the 2022 draft.... It is a lot better than not having those late round picks. And, if we make the picks, that's a lot of guys to read about! Oh boy! Go Bills! Nickel Robey was just waived! Alert the president! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Searching Hollister's name on Twitter, there seem to be some TE needy teams out there, some due to some recent injuries or trades. Fans connecting him to the Giants, Jets, Vikings, Seahawks, Jags. I think he may get a better offer than the wait in the parking lot offer he may have gotten from the Bills.

Maybe Knox has naughty pictures of McDermott doing strange things with a kettleball and Beane "stepping out" with a pack of shelter strays? All I can say is no point in getting fussed for the next 2-3 days until we see if Hollister is indeed brought back or someone else is brought in from another team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Joe B. and Matt Fairburn have their take on the 53 man up in the Athletic. Pulled this part on Jake Hollister: Quote Biggest surprise? Buscaglia: The Bills’ decision to cut tight end Jake Hollister, but it’s only a semi-surprise. Hollister was one of a few options the Bills had to use a common cutdown day strategy for general manager Brandon Beane. With over four accrued seasons to his name, Hollister is considered a vested veteran by NFL rules. Hollister is not subject to waivers and is free to sign with any team after his release. The Bills could promise Hollister a nice signing bonus and guaranteed salary for his trouble of being off the roster for a couple of days, and in return, the Bills would maintain the flexibility to keep an extra young player on the initial roster and then open up a roster spot for Hollister by putting a player missing time on injured reserve. Those IR players can only participate this season if they are also kept on the initial 53-man roster, which is another reason Beane would need some room to maneuver with a player like Hollister. Some candidates for IR include wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips. If they don’t end up using that strategy, you have to wonder what the plan is at tight end behind Dawson Knox. Before that all happens, though, let’s see how the next two days go and whether Hollister ends up back with the Bills. Pretty much what various of us have been saying, so nothing earth-shaking, just interesting that two credentialed media see it the same way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine they save much on the cap by cutting Hollister. Not that Hollister is great or anything, but you could argue he is an upgrade over Knox. Forgot about “the Peterman” have you?

BornAgainBillsFan Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Could it be that Beane & Co are checking out the new list of available TEs, like a certain one from eastern PA (if the Eagles choose to cut him loose)? And if they don't find one better than Hollister, they'll bring him back? Seems cold hearted, but we are talking about the NFL here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
