That's what I thought too, until I found out that some players had to be shown how to open a checking account to cash their paycheck. Some didn't even know what it was. I think some of these players buy gold chains, jewelry,etc as a form of a savings account, not knowing other options exist. Is there a rule prohibiting a team from placing a player projected to be out 1 week from IR? I know teams do it for players missing only 3-4 weeks....

Then tell us what you know. You're not contributing anything useful in this post. Nothing I've said is wrong (as far as I know), so enlighten us with your vast knowledge. At the very least tell us what you don't agree with... All three were Bills Free Agents this year... and... Miller counts towards the formula, He was signed by the Bengals in March... but it doesn't matter because Beane signed a lot of FA players, so the Bills will get squat in 2020 Comp picks. Your link shows the Bills signed 10 CFA's and lost 1CFA (Miller).... Do people seriously believe that that Bills would get a 3rd compensatory pick (in 2021) if we traded for, then let Clowney go at the end of the year?

Conservatives wait for the FBI to designate terrorist groups. Liberals only need to call up the Southern Poverty Law Center. It's why almost every single right of center group are called "terrorists" in the media, and MS13 are just misunderstood asylum seekers.

I think we over-inflate the importance of our trash players. Every team thinks they have someone that will make another teams 53 if cut. In reality, only a handful ever move teams.

So you're saying that WADE is not really an NFL player. He's just a water-boy or mascot, getting to hang out with the team and occasionally get on the field. So the entire charade of practices, cutting the guy at the end of camp, making him wait to see if he gets signed to the practice squad is way to acclimate the guy to what it would feel like if any of it was real? Seems harsh.

The program works to give international players a second chance to make the roster... after they are cut. Which seems odd to make them go through if they go straight to the PS. What you're suggesting is that the rules force them on the Practice Squad regardless of how they do, good or bad. That makes no sense considering news articles highlighting these players getting CUT, then having them wait to see if the team takes the OPTION of the 11th exemption or not. Nothing you've shown says they are EXCLUSIVE, only that the Bills have more options. To be fair, I have nothing to show that they are NOT exclusive, either. Can't seem to find that info on the internet. Draft picks don't get these exclusive protections if they don't make the 53, why would INTL players?

The rules of the program say he is eligible for the international squad exemption. It does say he can make the regular Practice squad as well as the 53, not that he goes straight to the 11th spot on the PS after training camp. I don't see where he DOESN'T go through waivers, or that another team can't sign him to their 53, especially since they go through cuts like any other player.

Where does it say that he is exclusive to Buffalo?

Except the guy turned down a large Rugby contract to give the NFL a shot. He's focused on opportunity, not money. Wade will accept a spot on any teams 53 above a PS spot. Saw that too. He also flattened out at the end. I'm patiently waiting for him to lateral the ball.

As far as I've read, Wade is treated the exact same as any other player. He can be cut and signed by another team to their active roster. I don't see any language giving the Bills exclusive rights. The Bills only have an extra 11th exemption if the player is not signed at all; giving international players a 2nd chance; only then does the protections kick in.

Panther's fans seem to think the Bills pass rush was good. They're blaming their QB's awful showing on the their OL not giving them time. I didn't see a single stunting Dlineman, and the Blitzes looked like reads, rather than designed; but the inability to win 1 on 1 battles is concerning; especially regarding Oliver. He needs to improve his hands. He has no moves. Daryl Johnson owned that RT. He needs to get some work in the next 2 games against better competition.

Wade will never make it to the practice squad. He'll either be on the Bills' 53 or some other teams' active roster.

So another team can't put Wade on their 53 after he is cut by the Bills, but before he is placed on the practice squad?

Is there any scenario where Wade can be poached by another team? Because there are some teams desperate for Running Backs right now.

I'm not an expert... but a little background. This happened in 1983 Statutory rape laws before the 90's came with an implication of force. If the girl consented, the man wasn't charged. Not sure how a parental objection plays into this... despite the wording of the law. Also there is some racism here, as well as cultural bias within the communities themselves, where the laws were predominantly enforced only in cases when a white girl (and only girls) was involved. Hispanic and Black families rarely reported these instances themselves, anyway. Underage pregnancies were dealt with by hiding the girl from society, filing charges would have exposed the family.

I blame Trump. Trump is the reason Kaep was benched for Gabbert, then forced to void his own contract.

This is the only thing you have left. It's not even an argument. It's pure speculation based on absolutely nothing.

While Kaep was the greatest to ever play the game, I refuse to admit that he was better than Nathan Peterman.

Why stop there? Kaep is better than Brees, Brady, Mahomes, and Rogers. Blane Gabbert was playing like Jesus to beat Kaep...

He can't sue the NFL because he quit. ?

Kaep didn't lose his job. The guy voided his own contract. He quit.

. We should give Whaley a lot of credit for recognizing (which we all agreed at the time) that there just isn't enough FRANCHISE quarterbacks to go around. He agreed with the Pegulas to hire REx because "ground and pound" is the only alternative when you can't get that elusive QB. The offense actually improved... but who would have predicted that the defense would tank. Whaley was a victim of circumstance where No good College QB's were coming out, and the few that did (Cam Newton) were out of reach in the draft.

I don't need to reply anymore. Your Bias is overwhelmingly obvious in this one post. Miller is solid and got a FA contract to start for the Bengals. When everyone sucks, being average is good enough. THe NFL has an OL and QB problem. Harvin was a star at the time of his signing. He was also VERY productive until his injury. The fact that Woods and Goodwin have flourished proved that the roster was built LONG TERM, had we kept them. Everyone would take Woods in 2016 over Jones in 2019 1)EJ was Nix, but Whaley brought in Tyrod, who made the pro-bowl. That's not neglect. 2)He spent the cap but never hit cap hell. The team NEVER had to dump talent because of the cap. 3)This is unfounded speculation. He built a team that should have won with the amount of talent he brought here. ...and if you know a long term plan to win, let the world know because 31 teams haven't figured out how to do it, and the 32nd cheats.
