Lots of former Bills littering that list.

 

This front office must be doing something right - for all the complaining some people do.

 

 

We're not the team claiming Tanner Owen off waivers. That's a good thing.

After one season of play?

 

Maybe he's not future starting material, but he could become a decent back-up. Some players need more time.

 

I think there is literally 0% chance of that

Wild goose tested well I think 

 

He may have, I have no idea.

But when he stepped on a field with actual NFL players and had to jam them, run and cut with them, tackle them, etc, he looked like a little kid.

I bet if you asked Beane about it in private, he'd be embarrassed by the pick now.

Barkley is 100% going to be there.  Who knows, Davis Webb may join him.

 

I’d like to see Duke Johnson brought back.  He looked good to me in preseason.  Blackshear also.

 

Figure that several of the O-linemen will come back.

 

Wouldn't be opposed to both Webb and Barkley as PS / QB insurance. Somehow we have to retain Hodgins & Blackshear.

Was wondering if there is some GM gamemanship on when deciding what time to release a player? Some guys get released early in the day and their 24 hour clock starts and some guys are released at the 4pm deadline when the tidal wave of releases occur.  Their 24 clock starts later.  Or must all last day waiver wires wait until 4p next day regardless of when they were released on the final cut down day before teams can add them to PS or sign them to active roster?

 

I could be wrong, but I think the clock is the same for all.

Forget Webb.  Bring in Chris Streveler just to mess with Jets fans.

God bless guys like Mike Love. He’s been at this for the past few years and hasn’t been able to crack the 53. Yeah, the money is good on the practice squad, but at some point that has to get to you mentally. 

I really like Mike Love. An incredibly high motor guy who you wish had that one extra gear.

A quick rundown of former Bills now on other teams the last 2 years.

- DE Darryl Johnson traded to Carolina for a 6th rd pick.  Bills used this pick on Christian Benford.  Panthers released him yesterday.  Claimed by Seahawks.

- released G Jack Anderson.  Signed to Bills PS.  Eagles grabbed him.  Eagles released him yesterday.  Claimed by Giants

- released Rachad Wildgoose.  Signed to Bills PS.  Jets grabbed him.  Jets released him yesterday.  Claimed by Washington

- traded G Cody Ford to Arizona for 2023 5th rd pick.

- released TE OJ Howard.  Looks like he's signing with Bengals

- released DB Nick McCloud.  Claimed by Giants

- released OT Luke Tenuta.  Claimed by Indy

- released OL Tanner Owen.  Claimed by Saints

- released DE Kingsley Jonathan.  Claimed by Bears

 

Just crazy the number of players who can't make Bills roster but end up somewhere else.

Nice. 
 

While I’m really bummed about mccloud getting scooped, I’m happy to get Bryant, Blackshear and Love back.  All 3 show signs of being able to make a play if the opportunity presents itself.  
 

I’d love to add Duke too, but I think he’s good enough to make a roster.  Apparently all the nfl GMs disagree with me, so maybe there’s a chance

He's akin to a career minor leaguer in baseball.
