I would describe the Bills strength at TE more of an embarrassment than anything, and players like Fells don't become available all that often. I mean, it’s possible the guy wanted to play with Tampa instead of Buffalo… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Fells going to TB is what a real contender does even though TE was far from a need for them. Meanwhile the Bills refuse to bring in anybody from outside the organization unless they played for the Panthers and continue to hold a misguided belief their roster is supreme to everyone elses. If this team loses to the Jets I'm at the point where I hope the rest of the season is a complete trainwreck so Beane can be exposed for the fraud he is. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there isn't a financial incentive to signing with a team that wants him on the active roster right away.............and by choosing Tampa he is going to the defending SB champ who a lot of players probably think will probably rise up late in the season and win the SB again..........because, you know, TB12.

st pete gogolak Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 This is nuts. A team with Gronk, OJ Howard and Cameron Brate is better positioned at TE than at worst 30 of the 32 teams in the league. And THEY sign Fells???

ColoradoBills Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Brandon Beane should of made the move to sign Fells to the PS. I think his agent seeing that the Bills are thin at TE would of recommended him to the Bills for opportunity sake. I'm a big Beane fan but this should of been a no brainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Fells doesn't turn 36 until the off season. So he does have that going for himself. Cleared waivers and ended up signing onto a practice squad, maybe he's being a bit overvalued here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest thing that we are missing with Knox being out is the vertical threat that he provides. Signing a slow TE is not what the team needs. They need someone who can get open consistently and get deep when the safeties are playing deep and double covering Diggs and Sanders.

Fells is a much better player than Sweeney. He fills a need. And makes the roster better. So do you believe status quo is the answer?

I don't care if he run a 6.4-- he catches TDs and is a great blocker. TDs and blocking- Bills need both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still probably faster then the next option which is playing with an extra TE on the field.....which we are probably going to if we cant improve our blocking.

Fells may be a slight improvement over Sweeney, but he is far from a difference maker. After all of this, it doesn't matter because he chose to be a backup on the Bucs.

Hebert19 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 We could sign to active roster off their squad right. I think he's likely likely biggest no brainer of the year...blocks great aje has reliable hands. Would help both in pass and run and could be had cheap. But...alas we won't make the move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
