Someone has to catch passes in camp. Maybe he finds his way to the PS, but  he may be wiser to rent over buy.

Yup. And keeps the NFL dream alive a bit longer. It's not a bad job if you can get it at all.

He will make more than I will this year. Darn good work if you can get it.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

He was one of my fav things about the preseason. I actually thought he had a lot of juice with the ball in his hands

[PonyBoy]

Oh! Deon Cain...

Nevermind 😉

Assuming he’s a victim of the final cutdown and is not re-signed to the practice squad, how much money will he make from this assignment?

Not sure. But they make something like $20k a week when on the PS… can’t be that much different.

Correct...1-2 yr players make 13k minimum/week. Veteran PS players make 22k maximum for 2025.

This guy's story must be amazing. He's about to turn 29, is working on his 8th year of pro ball, has played 15 NFL games with 9 receptions.

Somehow he's able to keep grinding out chances, but for some reason no one seems willing to make an actual commitment to him. The dedication he has to being a pro ball player must be insane. Multiple generations of 1rst round WRs have come in and washed out of the league since he showed up.

Give me an episode of "A Football Life" on a guy like this.

Shows that if you turn up, learn the playbook, work your tail off, be a good teammate and have some level of ability you will stay near the top of teams' "break glass in case of emergency" lists. 

 

He has earned about $1.5m doing it. That isn't live forever money but it is enough to keep chasing your dream if you are sensible with it.

The players make significantly less during preseason compared to practice squad.  It is between 2k and 3.5k per week depending on experience plus room and board.

Yep.  He’s a perfect “camp body” for the Bills and if lightning happens to strike, so be it.  They just need somebody to run routes while 4-5 guys are tending to ouchies and he has the familiarity to do it.

 

 

[thenorthremembers]

Thought he was very good in camp and preseason last year.   

[Kaenon]

I thought he played well in his camp and preseason last year.

 

He was very good in the screen game, but I didn't really notice him much outside of that.

From one game this season vs Michigan.

 

More reinforcements.

Waiting for an Eli Ankou signing

Camp bodies.  Thats all.  We cant have Palmer, Coleman, and Shakir on every play of every practice.  None of these guys will be on the team, but they want work.  Hey, they’re getting a paycheck and a an outside chance.

 

All of these injuries don’t sound serious, but precautionary for several of them.  Makes sense to me.  If I was one of these recent signings, I’d be going at 115% on every play.

Sounds like this guy might be a diamond in the rough type player that the Bills could utilize in this offense . He's been involved in championship football where ever he has played and has been productive .

 

Seeing as Samuel is often hurt might be worth giving him a shot full time he would probably be contract friendly too .
