[ChevyVanMiller]

The Bills do not have a place for him, but will he find a new NFL home?

He'll end up with the Giants.

A 3rd round pick on a plodding RB with slow feet. Who would have thought that this guy would become a journeyman? 🙄

[Maine-iac]

Not my cup of tea but he played well in Indy with a one cut and go style and a decent line.

Same goes for a high 2nd round WR with slow feet.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Teller is a 3x Pro Bowler and 2x second team all pro.

Like what are we doing.

He broke his neck in 3 spots last year and was still on the NFI list when released. 

 

He's closer to being forced into retirement than he is signing with anyone. If it wasn't such a risky injury, he was healthy and a FA, then yes he would find a new home at the VERY least on some teams practice squad...but there are rosters he could easily crack.

His fiancée at the time, not sure if they ended up getting married was a beautiful woman who was very sweet.  I sat next to her one game.  Didn’t know she was with Moss until after the game he went up to her and kissed her.

Moss isn't as bad as some make him out to be, but he also isn't anything special either.  I think he has value to a team looking to add depth as a backup RB.  The best thing going for him is that he played pretty well for Indy in 2023 and he can also catch, so I think someone will see value in bringing him in.

I was so pumped when we drafted him. I then realized I struggle to evaluate talent. Just too slow for the NFL game

This is both surprising and scary at the same time. 

I hope he retires and I wish him well.

The Moss thing really bothered me because they used the 74th pick the year prior on a RB (who was fine and actually better). It didn’t make sense at the time and makes less sense in hindsight. I cringed but remembered that the Panthers used 1sts in 2006 AND 2008 on RBs. Not sure why you wouldn’t just add a late round guy or cheap FA as the 2nd guy?

Winning the division 5 years in a row, appearing in two AFC title games, having the second highest winning percentage in the NFL the last 5 years… 

 

But yes, let’s lament Wyatt freaking Teller who has really taken the browns to the next level 

[TBBills Fan]

Hear me out

 

We sign him, then trade him and a 4th for a Player

In fairness, Christian Wilkins does that to several fans and teammates every game.

Maybe that wasn't his fiancee, it was a random woman and his game is just that good.

Dude has rushed for 2,318 yards. Made 8.4 million. Assume 4 million after taxes/agent.

 

Contract details career

 

Not a bad career.

I thought about stealing her away but I didn’t want to have any disruptions in the locker room.  
I care about all the Bills fans.

[BillsFanForever19]

I remember telling posters when he was doing well in Indianapolis in Taylor's stead it was only because the Indianapolis O-Line was stacked for Run Blocking and the Offense was schemed towards the Running game. 

 

This solidifies that.

I mean, looking back on it… I guess Hindsight is 20/20.
