Griff28 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Wow has this guy regressed and lost interest. A non-participant in OTA's. Terrible. Eat the salary and cut ties. Bad FA decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) He wasn't a bad FA decision. He played well and deserved the extension. He's since phoned it in and looks terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if he was cut but I can't blame the front office for signing him. Edited August 17, 2014 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy doesn't come to OTA's, shows up overweight and disinterested. That's part of the decision making process as to who you bring in and pay big money to.

Delusional Bills Optimist Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 @JoeBuscaglia Marrone on Alan Branch: "...he's working for a spot (on the roster)" Well, I appreciate the candidness. Who would get his spot? 7th receiver? 9th O-lineman? Either way, I think Cohen or Charles might be an upgrade (although I think Cohen may already be in his late-20s).

Yes he played several series in the fourth quarter and and he played poorly. Last year he played with the reserves most of the preseason as well and looked like absolute garbage and it looked like he might be destined to be cut........but then on opening day he looked like a completely different guy. I've been kind of assuming that they were following the same plan as last year but perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia 1m Marrone on Alan Branch: "...he's working for a spot (on the roster)" he's working on a spot hanging out with all the other lazy NFL players. A team should be able to recover some of its signing bonus when a player mails it in like this. No OTA's, then reporting out of shape. WTF. Your job is to be in shape, not that difficult.

I've been kind of assuming that they were following the same plan as last year but perhaps not. I agree. And wonder at the same time. Cohen has looked good, when I've watched. If they are going to cut Branch, I would bet it would be a final cut down depending on how he plays the rest of PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He was a bad decision in evaluating his desire. The guy doesn't come to OTA's, shows up overweight and disinterested. That's part of the decision making process as to who you bring in and pay big money to. That is a ridiculous statement. How could anyone evaluate a player's desire a year into the future? He was a good signing for us last year and gave us good depth on the line. I am disappointed that he held out of OTA's, as I was with Manny Lawson. The difference is that Lawson appears to be doing well as a DE, whereas Branch appears to not be playing as hard as he could be. I hope he turns it around, I feel that he still brings value as a veteran player. I'm fine with Landon Cohen staying too. Stefan Charles should be in the mix. I would not miss Corbin Bryant.

Fixxxer Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I remember hating his effort last year. Maybe he's doggin' it until the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I think Cohen or Charles might be an upgrade (although I think Cohen may already be in his late-20s). Bills DL: M Williams, Dareus, K Williams, Hughes, Lawson, Charles, Cohen, Johnson. If the Bills keep 9 then it is between him and Wynn, IMO. Otherwise he will be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious what he and Lawson do this year though, and how they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
