I'm hoping he finds a home right back on our practice squad.   He's gotta clear waivers first though.

 

Giants could use a WR so will be interesting to see if he goes unclaimed and what other teams think of him.

So is Hodgins done as a Bill?

 

Likely back to the PS once he clears waivers.

So we've given up a 6 and a 7 and added quality depth. 

Marlowe is essentially plug and play depth too.  Played in the system and was liked by the org. Just never was needed to be a starter.

This move makes a lot of sense for a depth perspective, but I hope Marlowe doesn't need to see the field.  This isn't exactly the highest quality of depth.

Welcome back Dean. I'm guessing Poyer's not coming back this season.

 

I could be wrong, but I think this is more about the short-term.  I *think* (or maybe just want to think) that if Poyer were out long term we would have thrown more resources at back-filling for him. 

 

Basically the question is, is Dean Marlow better as your backup safety than Cam Lewis?  and I think the answer is probably "yes".

[WMDman]

sweet deal Dean knows the system and played well when called upon

 

imo this has more to do with Jaquan Johnson then Poyer

[appoo]

He was the backup safety in ATL FWIW - but he also knows the McDermott/Frazier system

Getting the band back together. Is EJ Gaines available? 

I don't think so but I heard Vontae Davis is.

I got an inkling that someone might pick him up this time.. 

[Max Fischer]

Solid pick up

[Simstim]

Ha. They really do like going back for a trusted player.

 

Welcome back Dean. You'll likely get some fair amount of playing time too.

I assumed Cam get dumped to make room for Tre.

There's a cream for that.

I hate paying for guys that we let go, but I'll live with the 7th.  Welcome back Christopher.  

 

Hodgins and Bryant, GAN!!!!  Did not see that comin'....

He’s a proven safety in our defense. I wouldn’t worry about him much. But we’re much better with Poyer obviously.

great call. You are right.

[ngbills]

Marlowe - 158 passer rating against...limited action though. But last year completed 24-30 vs him (80%) double ouch. 

[BuffaloFan68]

I like all of these moves except for releasing WR Isaiah Hodgins 

Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!

I'll admit I completely forgot about Rhodes lol.  Tre, Rhodes, Dane, Elam, Benford.....I think we're good down the stretch.
