Which player on the roster baffles you that they are on this team?

There is always a player or two that we wonder, "why is that guy on the roster?"

 

Who is that guy for you?

 

There are several for me, but that one guy is Tommy Sweeney.

 

Morris is new.  Josh knows Sweeney and he sticks until something else happens.  Beane will get the best TE for the PS that he can.

Sweeney if under the gun and he knows it.  If he doesn't improve, he won't be a Bill next year.

Yeah it's Sweeney. I know OJ Howard had a disappointing offseason but he is a better TE than Sweeney by default. I don't understand eating the dead cap hit only to keep a lesser player on the team. Hopefully he is only on the team for right now until they need his roster spot for a different position.

That guy from Taiwan

 

Yes, what a shocker that a guy who contributes in nearly every game, and is one of the best in the league at his main position, would stick on this roster.   🙃

What surprises me is not that Jones is a great gunner and therefore kept on the roster, but that year after year, they can't find a guy who they can coach up to be a really good gunner who is also a viable backup at a position of need.  So many good athletes pass through that don't make it.  Couldn't a backup CB, S, LB or (viable) RB be molded into a gunner over the course of a training camp or a season on the Practice Squad?  Or is it just that specialized a skill and Jones just that much better at it?  Given that I trust our coaching staff and front office, I'd have to say yes.

He is also a backup running back who is 34 years old.

My guess is Tyrel is probably also wondering why Sweeney is on the team....


Providing this is legitimate, he does realise he’s not been cut and will have to share a locker room with some of the players he’s indirectly calling out (not that I disagree)?

Didn't Dodson make the team?  And hasn't the team stuck by him, despite a somewhat checkered past?  I'm surprised that he'd post a comment like this on social media (if that's what this is).  Why bite the hand that feeds you?  As suggested above, perhaps this is not legitimate, although who would spoof the social media of a relatively unknown backup linebacker?

Stevenson over Hodgins and Can Roten over Mancz make no sense to me. I’m no Sweeney fan, but I also don’t get all the hate he’s been getting. I think people just wanted to believe that OJ Howard would be good and don’t want to admit he sucked.
