They’re taking up a roster spot and paying out some cash to pretty much imperceptibly hurt a single conference rival they might not even see in a game again?  I think we’re being a tad dramatic about this 😂

 

the discourse around this has been weird like I get everyone looks for every reason to hate beane but there’s plenty of valid ones already that people can stick to.  This feels like the convo is getting warped to maximize the beane hatred to me lol

That's odd. Usually people love a successful GM.

Can you confirm a player has accepted before you waive someone?

 

Or do you have to waive someone BEFORE the waiver wire claim ?

[stevestojan]

Never thought I would go from trusting Beane fully to being indifferent to him being fired this quickly. This is embarrassing.

Losing Ingram hurts.  It doesn't seem as if the Bills have any leverage in dealing with Slay.  The CBs on the PS don't thrill me.  Dane Jackson is a low ceiling CB.  TeCory Couch combines lack of size with his pedestrian speed and Codrington isn't even that valuable as a returner it seems.  The free agent market has mostly leftovers.  If I'm Beane, I'm looking through the practice squads of other teams to see if there are some athletic guys with upside.  There's got to be some young guys looking for a chance to be on a 53 man roster.

Yea I figured he’d get claimed. Core Special team guy who is young enough and cheap enough with enough CB tape to get claimed. 
 

Not a good look for Beane for being down a DB right now but now that I didn’t get Ingram back im definitely not releasing Slay and he can sit on the Did Not Report list

I assume you need to have a roster spot open in order to put a claim on someone on waivers. So you have to waive before you can claim.

I’m sure Ingram will eventually be waived / cut and back on the Bills. Hopefully it will be before next season, but I doubt it.

So do we have an open roster spot? 

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

Don’t fret, all you Ingram Fan Club members … Houston will release him in the off season when they realize he’s not that good and the Bills will re sign him for another three years of JAGness

I assume only if we place Slay on the failed to report list.

I think it’ll probably happen when Lassiter comes back…Texans just need a warm body that is a low injury risk in the short term

there’s plenty of real reasons to hate him we don’t need to stretch ones like this is what I was saying lol

[NoSaint]

Yea, I get being lightly annoyed by this but the level of drama is kind of soap opera fan status here 

 

beane has plenty of real question marks (and wins)…. This doesn’t register in any honest conversation

And when Ingram is back, Beano fans will crow about how great he is for depth, after calling him JAG trash when we cut him.

This is just not a fun last couple days 

 

Being around the UB football program for a long time jamarcus Ingram is a guy that I respect a lot 

 

I've always had his and cam Lewis's back here.. when others would downplay them I will make a thread showing why there NFL players 

 

In a perfect world slay would probably be a good fit but now we just lost out two times.. we lost a guy who practices hard every day never says anything in the media play special teams , is a willing tackler 

 

And we just technically gave him away... I mean it's not the end of the world but I still give money to UB to sign athletes lol and I've went to bat for Ingram for years so this stings

Maybe he’s still waiting for his paper to be delivered.  (Do kids still do that?  They would definitely be lighter)

This is a bummer, because even if he’s a JAG, he still had several years in the system and understood the defense. Anybody else we pick up will also be a JAG, but they won’t know the defense.
