Darius Slay claimed on waivers by Buffalo

[SCBills]

I might be in the minority here but I would’ve never claimed him.  Im sure the Bills knew he wanted to go back to Philly. 
 

What if the Commanders released someone like Von and he wants to come

back to Buffalo. 
 

This stuff happens every year.   The guy is on his last legs, let him finish off where he wants to.

Newcam, yes we want to win the trophy, and I’m as optimistic as ever, especially since Ravens and KC have slipped.  JA17 and JC4 can carry us, and our OL has never been better.  Our D has been questionable during Josh era, so nothing new.  There’s not a team that we can’t beat, but we haven’t played a complete game yet so maybe the stars will align.

We will disagree to disagree and let's leave it at that. We will see shortly. Hope you are right.

Well, actually, now that they are competitive again, they have earned a 2nd round pick.

Holy cow so much bad and false info and people with no clue how things work.

 

No trades - past the deadline - he either reports or we put him on the did not report list and we open up the spot.

 

The waiver order is set - it does not change because we claimed someone.  The order stays the same and we can continue to claim guys.  
 

The Bills did everything fine and even if it blocks Philly from the player - there is no impact to the Bills - they made a legitimate waiver wire claim and if he doesn’t report - there is no impact to us.

Maybe.

 

I'm curious to know what the waiver wire timelines look like. It doesnt seem like teams have all day to sit around and call agents and talk to players. I believe it's more of a "Click here now!" scenario. Teams just grab a guy and hope for the best.

 

At least as far as I can tell, but maybe someone knows different?

Bombay giving up his high-paying corporate law gig to keep Banks was a little ridiculous, in retrospect.

I normally agree, but we're about to play Philly, and Slay would absolutely make them better.  They got a bad CB that Slay would upgrade.  

 

AND he's (probably) useful for us.  Even if only an injury replacement.   We got killed last year after losing Benford.  Our depth is better this year, but still not great.

I believe teams have a 24 hour period for a waiver claim.  Plenty of time in the professional world of in-season NFL.  The agent BETTER be responsive in 24 hour waiver claim period or you get a new agent.

i believe there is a period of the next day at a specific time to put in a claim, iirc.

 

like if released today after business hours (4pm) it goes to the 2 dayday 4pm (like Sunday) to declare - making it usually a 3 day event. it's 3:26 EST - so if released this second i think it is 4 Saturday.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

He has a 16% missed tackle rate and allowing 75% completions. 
 

This isn't a loss. Shocked Beane even tried.

Bills did themselves and the league a huge favor tbh…adoree Jackson is terrible and that is a huge weakness for that Philly team without a lot of them 

[Buffalo03]

Slay still apparently thinks it's 2010 and our QB is Ryan Fitzpatrick. Maybe Stevie Johnson can show him around town and he will change his mind?

[RichRiderBills]

IMO this is why they exempt vet players from waivers during early season. Bad system. 

[machine gun kelly]

Well, i guess he’s now taking a few days to think about whether to continue.

I 100% think Tomlin told McDermott about this

Gotcha, so it desnt waterfall from team to team. Everyone can put claims in at the same time, then 24 hours later they see who put claims in and the player goes to the lowest ranked team. That makes more sense.

[HappyDays]

Why are people thinking Ingram will be claimed? He's a PS caliber CB that we keep around because he's been in our system for a few years. Whenever he actually gets on the field he looks lost.
