ColoradoBills

They got to fly him in for the signing ceremony. It takes a while to make one of those "big keys".

Buck Owens would be better.

Really hoping Anderson goes to PS. Looks like he can develop. I got to think Doyle gets another year on his rookie deal at a minimum.

"Punt Prodigal Son". I hate myself for that!

Yes. For the golfers out there, the thin air is 1-2 clubs.

Knox, Howard, Sweeney and Morris to start on IR. They keep them all and decide what to do later. Good thing Beane kept $10M in cap. This is why you keep a decent cushion.

The article was just updated today (it corrected the number of PS to 16 this year) and was originally wrote this spring. It seems it finally gives all the details for this year's PS rules and salaries. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-practice-squad-salary-rules-2022/xfsq4rhj3ro6sdw8p4y6hzia

From what I have been reading it seems they changed that rule in the last year to set a vet maximum.

I'm going by the Dorsey presser a couple of weeks ago. He said he wants Gilliam as a true FB only. He wasn't using him in TE sets at all.

Tenuta also. It will be interesting to see who ends up finally on the PS for the OL.

Even after the Bills eating $700k after a trade involving Howard, I just don't think Beane can find a team to bite. If he does it will be in the next 24 hours. Howard probably sticks as others have said for 2 TE sets and they keep Morris (who will not dress in a lot of games) as a Knox replacement if he gets dinged up. Morris has much more upside I believe than Sweeney. That being said the Bills can't be happy with Howards overall play in camp/preseason. I know I'm not. He hasn't performed for the money they laid out on his contract. Sweeney might get claimed and if he does Beane will need to find another TE for the PS.

Thanks. One thing we all have to accept is these sites do the best they can for us fans but the official stuff is only known by the teams/NFL. It seems so. There was more tweaking of the PS in the last year and it does sound like there is a maximum now.

Thanks. I will use it the next few days.

Well played. I got to dust off the DVD of that and give it another watch. It's been too long! I was stationed in the USAF south of Miami when that whole thing was going on. My favorite "gangster" movie after the Godfather.

So do they.

Great timing and a great find. It's such a toss-up with all 3 of the TEs. I do agree with the Daboll thing. Good chance that Beane will be hunting for PS TEs later this week. If any of this is true and for other reasons, it's likely that 3 TEs are kept. So, who are the other 2? The one thing I would add is about Howard's past performance. I lessen its importance due to his injury history. He looks slower than ever. Beane opened up enough money to make a Howard cut possible, so I put less on that than others. To me it's keeping the best 3 for what they want to do this season. I think Morris gets one the spots due to his catching ability. That leaves it up between Howard and Sweeney IMO. It's tough call after that.

It seems to me these are their options. 1. They are working out guys who are not currently on any team. 2. They can put in a waiver claim on a cut punter they are high on. 3. If they don't get a waived punter, they can try out any remaining guys. 4. If they sign a guy who was waived and claimed, they can always cut him if they feel they have an upgrade. I get the feeling a lot of punters are chewing at the bit to sign in Buffalo. It should work out OK.

Yep. I speculated that yesterday in a post. It saves doing one more cut and re-sign.

Flacco is "Butt-Fire". I saw the gif.

If Barkley is on the PS I see minimal risk. He can be activated if needed. The only risk is having 2 QBs going down in one game. Even if it happens, I'm sure the chances of QB3 coming in cold off the bench and winning that game are not great. With the new rules allowing a PS player to get "elevated" for a game a couple times a year more teams are keeping only 2 QBs than ever before.

It's a punter, how about we lessen the deity need and go with Joseph "Punt son of Jacob"?

I believe this to be true. The flip side is the Bills are bringing back the vast majority of core ST players from last year. It would not look good for STC Smiley if he can't develop one of the new guys to take his spot. He has a job to do too.

I agree with all your alternatives. I would never say Howard was a cut until the Panthers game. I watched him a lot and wasn't impressed. OJ being cut is my biggest shocker. Agree about Sweeney for the most part and IF they cut/traded OJ they probably would keep Sweeney. We fans don't know Tre's schedule, so I gave it both ways. McCloud is someone I wish they could keep because he could get claimed if waived. They may keep him if Poyer's future is murky. Kumerow's ST worth could easily be made up by McCloud IMO. Truthfully, my roster is what I think will happen. Your points are more what I hope happens. I made a huge error in forgetting Gilliam on my roster. I edited it. It just has to Kumerow who is gone.
