Scott7975 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Where does he think he is going to get playing time elsewhere? He would have been signed by someone if someone wanted him. Unless he plans to goto a different league like the CFL, the dude just gave up a paycheck for nothing. Although I guess this does allow him to seek tryouts to be signed on someone elses practice squad in hopes to have an opportunity that he wasnt getting here.

Looks like he should put on a few pounds. ONLY thing, I wanna know. When #17 fires you balls, will you catch them all? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 You could tell in camp that Austin still had a lot of passion for the game and believed he could be a contributor. To have McKenzie go down, Crowder go down, Kumerow go down, and Davis running hobbled, if after all that he still couldn’t get the call up I don’t blame him for leaving. If I was Hodgins and didn’t get called up this week I’d leave too… unless I was content getting PS money. It’s odd Austin wouldn’t get activated, McD just spoke highly about him as one of the options they had earlier this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I'd be willing to bet that Tavon Austin doesn't end up on another active roster the rest of this season. As others have said, if other teams wanted him, nothing was preventing them from signing him to their roster. Weird move by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes 2 to tango - any team signing him off the PS has to keep him on the 53 for 3 weeks. He's never played a down in the NFL and was drafted in 2020. There are like 30-40 WRs drafted every year plus UDFA's. There are a LOT of guys out there on Practice squads who are the exact same player as hodgins, and probably know their teams playbooks.

We have 2 (Kumerow and Crowder) maybe 3 (dirty) or 4 (Davis) WRs out this week. If we have all of those guys out and they still don’t plan on promoting him, when would they? Might be better off on another PS, where he’s the top WR option . 🤷🏻♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on with the Rams he was pretty productive. Probably not as productive as you'd expect from the first rounder but still a good contributor. After the Rams, he's bounced around a lot. No one seems to have a use for him. Maybe it's just time to hang em up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Must've gotten word he wasn't getting promoted even with the injuries. That's a rather fool-proof "writing on the wall" situation for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 1 hour ago, hemma said: I’m guessing he’d rather be thumb twiddling at his home with family/friends, rather than at an apartment outside of Buffalo. I think this is right. The weather is turning colder in Buffalo, he's making a less-than-great salary but still needs to show up for practice every day, and he just wants to hang out where he's comfortable. But not being on some team's practice squad makes him even less visible than he has been to other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Not surprised, the amount of money you make on the PS is pretty small for a guy who has made 40 million. Assuming Hodgins is playing this week over him and that set him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin has made $40M in his career and Hodgins $1.1M. Hodgins will stay on the PS and if anyone picks him up, he will move. If not, he has a chance to get to WR6 next season with the Bills. Why would he just quit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Tavon Austin was drafted with our #8 pick in the 2013 Draft. It was the old front office's ploy to save face by moving back, and at least not drafting EJ Manuel in the top-10 of the first round.

QCity Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 3 hours ago, Dan Darragh said: I believe that in order to sign him they'd have to put him on the 53. Which means that the most likely destination is some other PS This is correct. Another team must sign him to their 53-man active roster if they poach him from our practice squad. This does limit his options. This is a logical move for him since it has become obvious we weren't going to elevate him here even with all the injuries.
