The Bills couldn’t put him on the PS because they already called him up 3 times. Whether they wanted him on the PS is irrelevant because they didn’t want him on their 53.

Just a new hoodie not washed or shrunken in yet! Plus that red challenge flag , his play calling card, all the wires from the headphones , and thermal underwear! No way is that from all the food around the office and training table ! Lol,,,I thought the same thing seeing that side profile of him walking the sideline. Head coaching prob can reinforce some stress habits , but then you see fit guys like Mcd and you can have access to world class training and dietitians too, so hopefully he will take better care of himself as he is pretty young and seemed like a great guy. Having gotten to the pinnacle of your career , it’d be nice to enjoy it for many years ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero chance we ever get him back now. He didn’t have much value on this team. At best he would be the 5th receiver so there would be a bunch of games where he wouldn’t even dress. Not a huge loss for this team, good for him for catching a couple of touchdowns. Let’s not make it sound like the Bills lost a potential #2 receiver though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgins was called up 3 times. At that point he is no longer a practice squad player and cannot be protected. At that point the Bills can either subject him to waivers or sign him immediately to the 53. If he were to clear waivers I assume he could be protected. But this is still a weird spot for Buffalo because another call up would be his 4th one of the season, which means the only way he could get called up would be to sign him to the 53. It didn’t make sense to submit Hodgins to waivers and protect him. Even putting him on the PS seemed odd because Davis was still nursing a foot/ankle issue and we only had 3 or 4 healthy WR. We have signed two guys off of their couches, we weren’t healthy and didn’t have numbers at WR. It didn’t make any sense at the time only to be made worse by a Kumerow injury the very next week.

Id rather see hodgins on our team than keep scrub ST that still stink and WILLL NEVER play (taiwan jones will never play RB). and i sort of feel john brown signing is a joke. we got caught with our pants down at WR. Now especially bc were dropping everything and i just see our recievers have a really hard time making contested catches. it seems weird to not prioritize a guy thats big , makes contested catches/ doesnt drop anything. I mean WE drafted him im done talking about this Edited December 19, 2022 by balln Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to get involved in your guy's conversation but now that you have, I will let you know something about the PS rules. While it's true that some PS players can be protected, it's not in the way a lot of fans think. Every week, every PS player can be claimed by any team (as long as that team is not playing the team of the player). Even "protected players" that are designated could have been claimed the day before they are protected. Like I've stated before, I wish Hodgins was kept. Heck, I thought he should have made the 53 right out of camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
