You got a link or are you just blindly assuming this?  

Is it an assumption? Yes. Is it based on lots of good information and logical inferences? Yes. Now, you want to comment on the actual question of the post, or just be a foolish troll?

It's not a foolish troll.

 

You don't have good information to suggest that. You assumed. What type of good info and logical reference would lead you to believe a Beane / McDermott team would shop a second year first round pick that THEY drafted? They believe in draft and develop. His post was far from a troll.. Seems like yours is more of a troll, tbh.

He's done. He was done before the season started and only was allowed to get on the field due to significant injury. It's clear that McD has a major problem with him because his play is not nearly bad enough to warrant his current position on the team. He'll likely be cut or traded for a 6th/7th in the offseason.

I know he doesn’t need my help, but @Alphadawg7 is the not even close to being a troll. Quite the opposite. Much less foolish. 
Anyway, let’s let the season play out with Elam. We need depth. They’re backups for a reason, but still vital to a  team.

I’m just hoping he’s got some Zay Jones (did he really have 82 catches last year?) in him and he can work it out, becoming a productive player in this league. Some guys need time to grow into themselves. I hope he’s one, because he’s with us now.

His play isn't that bad. You are right.


Of course his first game coming off being scratched for 5 weeks is going to be iffy. The next game, he was significantly improved. He's going to be one the guys that leaves Buffalo goes on to have a nice career and he's going to come out and talk about his time here and what went wrong and I can't wait for that. There has to be a serious vendetta against this guy... some sort of disconnect.

For a good number of Bills draft picks, they aren’t allowed to get better by playing, or be decent on early on a rookie contract.
 

They’re required to sit behind some free agents until they’re a free agent. Once you go from rookie deal to extension, then and only then, can you grasp the Buffalo Bills.

My ass!  I would assign him as the 'personal assistant to the Legend of the Game', making sure the organization doesn't drop the figurative ball anymore (see 'Spikes, Takeo').

"Nacho chips, or fries with my hot dog?" 🤔

Gotta go with fries and Chili.

First of all, you just asserted multiple things in your post, so how is asking for clarification on whether or not those are just your assumptions or if there are actual facts being a "foolish troll"?  Especially since you just confirmed they are just blind assumptions and not actual facts lol

 

Second, as far as Elam goes, his season will go as he goes in practice.  He obviously isn't someone they feel is ready or he would be active, so he is going to need to earn their trust in practice and prove he is worthy of being active on game day.  And we have already seen that they are not afraid to keep him inactive, so I don't expect him to be active unless they feel he is ready or injuries force their hand again.  

 

Personal opinion is that I don't think Beane is ready to just give up on Elam yet, but they are also not going to just put him out there because of his draft status either.  I think he is someone who will likely be traded in the offseason if by the end of this season he hasn't worked his way onto the active roster still.
