Toone was the 255th and final selection of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, thus earning the moniker Mr. Irrelevant.[1] On September 4, 2010, Toone was one of the final cuts as Detroit reduced its roster to the 53-man limit. However, the Lions re-signed Toone to their practice squad the next day.[2]

 

Toone was placed on the practice squad's injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury on October 7, 2010.[3] He was re-signed to a future contract on January 5, 2011. Toone was waived during final cuts on September 3, and re-signed to the Lions' practice squad on September 21. The Lions released Toone again on September 27, 2011.

He's a decent ball players. Great speed and acceleration. Good fit in the slot. He's been compared to Welker, mostly drawing those comparisons due to height. I like the addition as it may lead up to Aiken being promoted.

Sounds like we got a winner! Is he there to replace Kamar when he gets called up? Detroit is deep at WR, but they didn't see enough in him to keep him on the PS.

i hope kamar gets called up he actually is probably the only one on our roster with #2 potential, more so then jones even

 

You're saying you evaluated Kamar to be more valuable than Jones, Easley, Roosevelt, and Martin? You think the Bills brass whiffed on Kamar 4 times over?

1. Every single ball :flirt: went to Tim Toone. The guy's a beast.

2. I was hoping he'd give that ridiculous reporter a wedgie. Worst interviewer of all time. Reminded me of Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

Is there really a doubt in your mind that Kamar is more valuable than Ruvy Martin?

Love it! :thumbsup:

 

The Bills have never had a 'Mister Irrelevant' - should fit right in with our group of under-the-radar stars...

 

I don't like it. This guy could ruin the team's chemistry. We don't need such a high draft pick looking down his nose at our undrafted guys.

He seems like a perfect fit for the Bills "no-name" WR corps. He'll be a probowler by seasons end.

GO BILLSSS!!!!

 

18 and 1 baby!!!!! B-)

I think the interview with Toone at the end of that clip is epic. Did they just grab a guy from the stands and replace his beer with a microphone? "Get out there and start talking to Toone!"

Same birthday as Jim Kelly -- it must mean SOMETHING!!

 

And did anyone come off the Practice Squad for Toone?

Kamar Aiken to the 53 man roster next?

from Chris Brown press release:

To make room on the practice squad for Toone, the Bills released DB Brandon Bing.

 

With respect to the 53-man roster I wouldn’t anticipate a move this week. I think the Bills are going to assess their options and how well they fare offensively against the Giants and then go into the bye week and re-assess everything.
