Waived Players

[Cubanmist 1]

Out of all of the waived players, due to rosters needing to be at 53 personnel, which players from other teams would you want the Bills to pick up?
 

I think I’ll kick the tires on Jakob’s Meyers.

Tony Jefferson, S cut by Chargers. 

 

Guy is a vet with success in this league. Miles ahead of Rapp or Hamlin. Good mentor for Bishop.

Beanie Bishop (CB/Steelers) is definitely worth a look.

Cole Strange. Hasn’t been good, but he is the kind of ridiculous athlete that Aaron Kromer has had a ton of success developing. He was also over drafted into a dumpster fire and thrown to the wolves. He was always a small school guy athlete who needed development time. Good piece of clay for Kromer.

He's 33 years old and over the past 5 seasons has played a total of 29 games and had just 5 starts. "Miles ahead of Rapp" is just an insane take. The player of 2013-2018, sure. But this isn't that same player anymore.

 

On top of that, he'd have to learn the Defense and Playbook on the fly. He'd have to be taught the Defense during the regular season, when they have a million other things going on. They're only going to do that with guys who have the potential to be big time impact players.

 

There's absolutely no way they'd move even Hamlin off the roster for Jefferson. Maybe a Practice Squad spot, but even that is unlikely at his age and the learning curve he'd have.

Miles ahead of Hamlin, 💯 

Miles ahead of Rapp, I don’t agree with in the least.

 

If no one signs him, I definitely think we should put sign him to the PS and let him learn the system.  Could be an upgrade after a month or so.  I don’t think he’d be an upgrade after reading the playbook and practicing in the system for 13 days.  It’s obvious that knowing the system is McDs MO, especially when it comes to DBs

He plays both corner and safety.  Sort of like their cam Lewis.   Buffalo seems to be two or three deep with this type of player though.
