Simon Says

All of them.

Bates IS on this roster

3 Special Teamers missing; Johnson, Gilliam and Johnson. I don't think Doyle beats out all 3 veterans (Lamp, Hart and Douglas). Don't assume McKenzie returns punts AND kickoffs. Still looking for a TE? Ertz?

AND signed Obada AND reworked Addison

Levon Helm?

I don't think Duke OR Gentry nake this team. Bills have to resolve the special teams/ return game and neither is known as a ST standout .

Bills can't afford his salary without moving a couple veterans. More of a need at CB, even TE

I would try to keep Sweeney. Ertz will likely only be in Buffalo for a year

I like the Hurst idea....cheaper....younger...but neither he nor Ertz is a great blocker

They don't have THAT much cap space

The kids will get over it....probably fine with online wrapup and reports

Take on his 15 million dollar salary? Even if they buy into your fantasy and agree to take Hughes:it would use up almost all of Buffalo's available cap space. That would mean no Ertz, or Nelson/ Breeland. After signing Obada,then drafting Basham and Rousseau: no thanks.

The return of Lotulelei and Ford should help up-front . They signed 3 veteran free agents for the OL and brought in 3 rookies. Defensively, they added Obada,Rousseau and Basham. Not all "interior" but Bills did address both lines.

MY hope is for the TEAM to do well. If he is one of the best LBs and deserves a roster spot, more power to him.

Dude...much as most of us love Josh, his stats were awful his 2nd year. Improved his comp% to 58.8 and was still absolutely last among starting QBs. Check his QB ratings and other stats,and yes,he was below average. His running ability was a dangerous weapon but as a passer, he was bad.

Bills have Knox and Hollister. Gilliam is theoretically a tight end but primarily a special teamer. I think Sweeney could have tough time making the 53. It is a proposal by a writer. That doesn't make it a "rumor". He doesn't say either team proposed the deal,HE proposed it.

Phillips,Duke, Fromm

They have several guys to line up at the 1: Phillips,Bryant,Butler, and another new guy,Vandecose(?)

Almost 27 and has done absolutely nothing in the NFL. Practice squad,a couple injuries, 3 games played. Returned kickoffs in college but numbers were mediocre.

Its his third and final shot and he just turned 30. For him to make the 53,Bills would have to cut or trade TWO of Singletary, Moss ,Breida, Jones, Williams. Which two do you realistically think he can beat out? Don't think he can yake return reps from McKenzie,Powell,Stevenson ,Breida or whomever.

He didn't "absolutely blow up preseason". Meaningless touches in meaningless games. The coaches see him EVERY DAY and know how to evaluate players. I want the Bills to win the Super Bowl whether Wade plays or not. THAT is the mission.

This is another fanboy fantasy. Its a feel good story, and all... but I have outgrown the hero worship and want what is best for the team. Wade's STORY won't win games. I don't see him as an integral part of the 53 man roster. He just turned 30,haven't read anything about him learning kick return or coverage roles so it appears he has to beat out a couple backs that have proven themselves. If the Bills can afford to manipulate the roster when they clinch the playoffs, maybe he has a shot to play a little,since his IPP exemption will expire.

So,you should be old enough to remember that Fred grew up playing football, not rugby. By the time he got to Bills camp he had already played 3 years in Europe. He was an experienced football player, not an "athete" attempting to learn a new sport in his late 20s.

Singletary,Moss and Williams are only 23. Wade just turned 30 and has zero NFL experience . Why would you cut one of those young backs to accommodate your feel good, warm & fuzzy fantasy? Why are are you so pumped for this guy? It's all about building and sustaining a winning roster.

I don't think Wade ever has any meaningful reps. Antonio Williams can also play special teams and could beat out Taiwan Jones
