Gugny Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 This sucks. Always been a big Chandler fan. I get it. But I'm not happy about it.
Webster Guy Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Its weird to how people care so much about who gets to be the first to post big news. Chandler you will be missed big fella .... Great hands, work ethic, tough. Some amazing highlights over the years. Thanks for being a great Bill, and for all those clutch 3rd and 4th down grabs with defenders all over you. You still have a few years in the tank, go play in San Diego or zona or somewhere where the livin is easy. Youve earned it
mikemac2001 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Lol I only said it because We had 5-7 threads saying the same thing no one checked the board and it got out of hand And this move doesn't mean much could always be back later for cheaper if we want him (I don't think we do)
BackInDaDay Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) i got a feeling that Roman got a better blocking TE when we signed the FB Felton, and the intends on getting better receiving production from either Clay, Gragg, or Gray Edited March 12, 2015 by BackInDaDay
vincec Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Yes, if they need to seriously front load Clay's contract, they need to shed cap space in '15. Chandler saves them $2.5mil But when did they need to cut Chandler to save this money? Couldn't they make sure that they had Clay first and then cut Chandler?
eball Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Nobody caught a one-yard pass in the flat like Scott Chandler. Great guy, decent player...but the Bills can do better.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 But when did they need to cut Chandler to save this money? Couldn't they make sure that they had Clay first and then cut Chandler? Chandler is decent but Roman wants guys that can block or stretch the field and he is fair at both. I wouldn't have minded him to stay and think he's a good #2 but he really does fit with what Roman has done before or says he wants to do. And if they can save 2.5m to put to getting the guy who does exactly what Roman likes and wants to do, I am all for it. They also want to sign Harvin who while a WR would take snaps away from Chandler since we would rarely be in a two TE set, considering Felton is one the team.
Rob's House Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Was there a reason to release him before the Bills had a replacement on the roster? It's more exciting that way.
#34fan Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Let the Chris Gragg era begin!! Just one problem... Chris Gragg isn't a very good TE.... Unless theyre planning to acquire Virgil green, and draft PSU's Jesse james, i don't see this as a step forward at all...
Boatdrinks Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 But when did they need to cut Chandler to save this money? Couldn't they make sure that they had Clay first and then cut Chandler? It seems the Bills needed the cap room to sign Clay and Harvin. ( according to Carucci) Once Clay signs offer sheet, those cap$ are considered used . They need Clay for Roman's schemes and apparently covet the playmaking ability of Harvin. Chandler was decent, but this offense was lacking and needs more versatile and explosive players to create and exploit mismatches. Can't fault them for trying to improve.
boyst Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I'm thinking out loud here. Fred Jackson would have freed $2.7mm. He was the planned cut to make moves for what the Bills want to do; he wasn't cut. We needed to trim the fat and with cutting someone who will be expendable if they get Clay.... Well, now they MUST get Clay.

Well, now they MUST get Clay.They should have cut FJ too.. Get an OG.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Released I was first lol Considering his blocking skills not surprised, although curious as why they let Lee go since he is a good blocker. They should have cut FJ too.. Get an OG.
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Just one problem... Chris Gragg isn't a very good TE.... Unless theyre planning to acquire Virgil green, and draft PSU's Jesse james, i don't see this as a step forward at all... virgil green went to broncos already @alexmarvez: 1 reason @buffalobills cut Scott Chandler: Want better blocker at TE. Anthony Fasano gives that as 2nd TE. @MikeGarafolo says he's visiting
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) This sucks. Always been a big Chandler fan. I get it. But I'm not happy about it. ditto. maybe they will bring him back as IIRD the Bills have 1 TE on the roster if at all. and by that I mean GOOD Chris Gragg, MarQueis Gray and Chris Manhertz ????? http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/buf/roster/;_ylt=A0LEVikKhQFVgUkAluAlnIlQ Edited March 12, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
BillsFanM.D. Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Nobody caught a one-yard pass in the flat like Scott Chandler. You see the guy the Raiders signed? Dude can flat out get in done on third and three. And by get it done....I mean catch a one yard out.
8-8 Forever? Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Good. This means we will probably draft a TE as well CBF correct. Forcing their own hand. Not that he is the starter, however yet another Plus grade to DougW for grabbing Marquis Gray late season last year.
mattsox Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 This sucks. Always been a big Chandler fan. I get it. But I'm not happy about it. They need to re-sign him now it looks like. I heard reports Miami isn't letting him go.
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 @RavensInsider: Ravens have preliminary interest in former Bills tight end Scott Chandler, according to league sources Good spot for him. They didn't keep Owen Daniels
