Codrington signs with Texans

[jlatas]

Brandon Codrington signed a futures contract with the Texans. He'll be the first of many to move on, left to wade in the free agency waters, or just plain be released. Gonna be an interesting next few months for a team that will decidedly look pretty different come September.

I don’t get why the Bills went away from him as a PR. He may have had one bobble and then that got him in the dog house (yet Hardeman seemed to get multiple chances despite his many errors).

Cancel the 2026 season!! Don’t even bother to play the games.

I think it got to the point that we were so injured in other spots that we just went without a punt returner, throwing Shakir back there to just catch it.

I'm not sure if he was in the dog house...it just seems like the team was always throwing stuff against the wall to see what would stick. They did this with the WR room as well, never settling on a consistent rotation. They seemed lost in their decision making process at times.

It was a lot more than one bobble. He had a couple bad fumbles over his time here as well as showing poor judgement several times. Both in when to take the ball out of the end zone and trying to dive and catch punts rather than let them go.

 

Add into that he brought absolutely nothing at his true position of CB, and the roster spot isn't worth keeping him for.

His biggest issue was that he was useless in the secondary.

It wasn't that. It was because they had no interest in playing him on defense. They wanted the game day active spot for someone with more versatility.

I don't remember him making that many errors. I always thought he was generally pretty decent as a returner. I think there were a couple of moments in preseason that were not great from him, so maybe that cemented it for many. But yeah, he was not seen as someone who could contribute on defense at all.

I wasn't trying to insinuate that the Bills should keep Codrington cuz he had value. My post was more of a fact that the guys who know they really have no place in this team's future have started "self-releasing", so to speak!

Fit right in with a few guys we had

THIS IS YOUR FAULT, BRANDON BEANE!

 

Yours truly,

[Jauronimo]

We're losing all of our core Special Teamers! @FireChans would be rolling in his grave if he wasn't still alive!

[Big Turk]

Cod piece on the move!

[Charles Romes]

Just had so many injuries due to McDermott needing to play old or small injury prone  guys we needed the  roster spot.

Yeah, I felt it was a numbers game.  They couldn't afford to keep a guy who just couldn't play his defensive position, with all the players who were "questionable" and had to have a player active as a potential backup

As far as I know, Codrington was on the practice squad.  If a player is on the practice squad and wasn't offered a reserve/futures contract after the season, there's no "self releasing" about it, he needs to find a new team.

Think the issue was others brought more to the active day roster in whatever other position they played, than Coddington would bring as a CB.

Because McDermott is a f•cking moron. 
 

He was a f•cking moron when he benched McKittrick. 
 

The this season, he benches the person acquired specifically to return kicks and replaces him WITH THE BEST WIDE RECEIVER ON A TEAM WITH PURE SH•T AT WIDE RECEIVER!!!

 

I’m pretty glad that little f•cking twerp is gone.

He isn’t. But he’s not a WR1 by any stretch of the imagination. 
 

My point was that he was our best receiver and McDipshit thought it was a good idea to put him in, arguably, the most dangerous position on the field.
