  1. I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure Kenny Stills and Devonta Freeman wouldn't have signed to the Practice Squad if we retained their rights beyond the Playoffs. Gotta imagine they protected themselves in some way to be Free Agents at the end of the year even if that were the case. We could always bring them back to a new contract at the end of the year if both sides were agreeable and I'll admit I'm a layman when it comes to the exact rules. But I'd be shocked if these guys signed on to possibly be Practice Squad players long term. They're hired guns.

    He also said Darnold was really good so uhh...

     

    There's more than a few extenuating circumstances when it comes to Darnold. He has, at times, looked the part. While I'm not guaranteeing a change of scenery will completely change the script - I'm also not willing to say that he was a sure fire Palmer failure, at this point.

    The whole thing is weird. There's accredited newspapers (i believe it was an article in the Syracuse paper) saying he was super impressed with his "soon to be teammates." Whats the deal here? Can he even play next week with Covid testing? Is that a thing with street guys? Are we calling dibs on him for the Super Bowl like a layaway system lol.. Crap or get off the pot. Not blaming him either, could be the Bills jerking him around. Whatever it is I'm kinda getting sick of hearing about it.

     

    He didn't officially visit until Friday night with a game less than two days away. Beane doesn't make anything official until all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and he has to have a physical and pass COVID protocols. Given all that, I didn't expect any announcement until Monday at the earliest.

    Doesn’t mean he will be active, just means he will be available. Could end up up on inactive list. Does he play ST? Because Taiwan jones is out..

     

    They wouldn't use an elevation and then make him inactive and waste it. No way you'll see them ever do that.

     

    On the ST point - I have to imagine he at least plays some as a fringe WR. Though I don't know his proficiency.

  5. With the Active Roster sitting at 52 with one open spot and the Practice Squad maxed at 17, there's gonna be a lot of cuts coming up:

     

    - Have to open a spot on the 53 for CB Levi Wallace

     

    - Have to open a spot on the 53 for LB Del'Shawn Phillips

     

    - Have to open a spot on the 53 or Practice Squad for LB Darron Lee

     

    - Have to open a spot on the 53 for TE Dawson Knox when he comes off the COVID List

     

    - Have to open a spot on the Practice Squad for TE Nate Becker when he comes off the COVID List

     

    - Potentially have to open a spot on the 53 or Practice Squad for CB Daryl Worley

     

    - Have to open a spot on the 53 for LB Tyrel Dodson following the bye

    Of the reported "finalists" only one team could make him their workhorse (if that's what he actually wants) and has a good chance at winning a lot this season.

     

    With the Chiefs, he'd be their short yardage go-to. With the fish, there is little chance of making it into the playoffs,, let alone deep.

     

    All that said, I have really liked Singeltary. I don't know why he doesn't get more carries. I trust Daboll and the o-crew, so I presume there must be more to all this than we see on gamedays.

     

    Just think of it this way - Bell will replace what we've gotten from Zack Moss and T.J. Yeldon in his place. Either they redshirt Moss with his toe or Yeldon is released and moved to the Practice Squad. They'd roll with Bell and Singletary on game day and I don't think Singletary's carries would change all that much.

    Cam can’t be elevated anymore for Gameday . They will need to re-sign him, which they can if Levi goes to IR 

     

    Yes, he can't come up from the Practice Squad anymore. He has to be signed to the roster. Which is what I was alluding to. It's a "week to week" sprain. But he was on crutches in the locker room - so I doubt it's minor.

    Didn't they cut Lewis last week?

     

    Yes, they cut him from the 53 to put Norman on. He then cleared waivers and was signed to our Practice Squad. This makes him ineligible to be called up unless signed to the 53. Which is why I'd expect Levi to go on IR.
