First Round Bust Posted August 28 Posted August 28 1 hour ago, boyst said: Matthew wright is also available He and Dustin hopkins will be Looking for a starting role. I think these opportunities are for practice squad. To either or both: 1) break glass if needed 2) use in practice to cut down on reps for t.bass I dont want a kicker we can call "wide wright" 6 Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 28 Posted August 28 1 hour ago, boyst said: you're correct. we drafted him. he joins a long list of drafted kickers that went on to great success. Gary Anderson, Dustin Hopkins, Pete Gogolak all left buffalo to have long careers. Hopkins has not had great success. He's been up and down ever since he left Buffalo including last year. He just got beat out by a rookie. But he is an experienced veteran and Im surprised he is not being looked at 1 Quote
34-78-83 Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Speculation. The Bills and all other teams bring in kickers and other positions for work outs all the time. Good intel for either when you need them later, or for the practice squad. 3 3 Quote

thenorthremembers Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Eddy Pinero is the only guy on that list that comes close to Bass. I hate even having to discuss kickers. Quote

LEBills Posted August 28 Posted August 28 This is likely just diligence if Bass can’t go at some point during the season. But the Bills can save 3.5 million on the cap by cutting him now. 1 Quote

The Jokeman Posted August 29 Posted August 29 4 hours ago, BlueRed said: I’d be fine with them taking a gamble on Caden Davis for the beginning of the year - his leg looked alive when he kicked in the preseason. He has a leg no doubt but as eluded think a guy like Piniero be ideal as he's a proven guy. Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Honestly, might be a little blessing in disguise. Sometimes these recycled veteran kickers get on these hot streaks. Might be a low pressure way to test someone else out who could end up being a stud. Quote
