Still a bit misleading because Texans are widely considered to be among the worst teams in the league again this year record wise and up there with Cardinals jockeying for #1 overall pick in next year draft. So taking a flying on 2 of our 7th round guys is great on the surface but doesn't mean we are best roster in NFL.

It’s not misleading at all.  The Texans could’ve claimed dolphins, jets, chiefs, bengals, eagles….. but they claimed ours.  Suggesting that they liked the bottom of our barrel more than any other teams barrels.  
 

our roster is very good

Good for those 3 guys. Get to be on a 53 and make more money than being on the PS. I think the Bills didn't care about Zayne Anderson but for sure wanted Austin and Broeker on the PS here. 

100% agree.  Broeker being the primary one, IMO.  

 

Ingram is perfect for our P/S, looks like Brown was signed to P/S too, although could see them shuffling that around as season goes.

 

This is exactly why we keep Cam and Alec Anderson on the 53, those guys would have been gone.  Need to hold onto better depth players, even if we only roll with 5 WRs/5 LBs...use the P/S for those 6th roles, if needed on gameday

If it was Miami's players you'd be jumping all over it and making 10 threads about it though.

Too bad about Broeker, I liked him coming out, but Anderson and Van Denmark were better options for 23 and 24.  Wouldn't be shocked if Broeker finds his way back here during the season as Houston churns through the bottom of its roster.

Ya know...when there are two players close to the cut line with the name Anderson, we gotta use first names.  I was really confused for a moment.....Sure, Anderson was claimed off waivers, but we decided to keep Anderson.

To be honest Scott, I really don't care about all this bottom of the roster musical chairs teams play. Most of these guys are never going to amount to anything in this league which is why they are cut/claimed/etc.

 

But I see a lot of Bills podcasters and media figures chest thumping over the fact 4 guys were claimed by other teams as if it actually means something. But kudos to this organization for another hollow accomplishment I guess and I'm sure KC and other serious contenders could care less as well about how much of their scraps ended up elsewhere.

I don't see "Filthy Beast" posts except in replies, but every time I see his board name, I think of the Cary Grant movie Father Goose.

I gave up on that guy last season.  LOL.

Deep roster. Kind of surprised Zayne Anderson was claimed. 

I liked him…. I was wondering why it was we didn’t sign him…

LOL, why weren't all the "loaded" Dolphins cuts claimed???  😂 

Maybe because they planned how their roster was going to work. And not drafted players they knew weren’t going to make the team. But in reality that’s not fair, because we could have sustained injured over the summer and then all three of those players would have made it.

We as a fanbase can be very myopic: every team has holes and gaps and weaknesses and worries and missed draft picks and questions at depth. It's like that old saying, America is the worst country to live in, except all the others! Bills are good. Scaaaaaary good. 12 win floor. take it to the bank.
