I think Grant was a 4th rd pick in 2014 for Steelers. Funny how ours was Ross Cockrell... We swapped CBs.

 

Stop weirding me out, dude.

So #Steelers get #Bills 4th rd CB Ross Cockrell starting and Buffalo gets their 4th rd CB Grant to PS.

The #Bills add 4 to practice squad - CB Doran Grant, WR Matt Hazel, G Gabe Ikard & LB Max Valles. Still have 4 spots left.

@MatthewFairburn

The Bills have added four more to the practice squad. They also released Dan Vitale.

So Bills are better at picking but Steelers are better at evaluating?

Is/isn't Marcus Roberson on PS?

Not sure if this article is completely right - Jordan was on regular game roster 34 of 36 games,

http://www.sbnation.com/2016/9/3/12773904/nfl-practice-squad-players-roster-rules-eligibility-primer

Who is eligible for a spot on the practice squad?

• Each team can keep 10 players on its practice squad
• Up to four of those 10 players can have two accrued NFL seasons. So, was a player on the 53-man roster for at least six games of two NFL seasons? Sorry, they’re out of luck.
• It used to be that three weeks of an NFL season spent on a practice squad counted as one full season of practice squad eligibility. Now, that number has been increased to six weeks, which expands some players’ eligibility.
• A player can spend no more than three seasons on any practice squad.

One might counter with the argument such as: "Deep talented teams are less likely to attract these free agents to their PS, as there isn't much of a chance of them being called up. So perhaps this is a sign the Bills are deeper in talent than they have been in the past." But c'mon, we know that's not true.

That is unpossible.

Thanks YoLo. It looks like Lavar Edwards was claimed by Carolina. Good for him. I thought he was a good PS candidate for us. Tony Steward on the Saints PS.

[GG]

Is this the first year that Bills PS doesn't have a majority of players who were in camp?

A pre-draft look at Carlos Fields by Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan. 6-foot-1, 240 at his Pro Day, ran a 4.47 40-time.

That video is impressive. If he can make plays like that at this level they may have something.

[3rdand12]

another very active season with this scout team.

kinda fun to dig into these guys

Not always easy making the transition from D2 to the NFL. Fields is 25 now, hopefully he's had his learning curve in Washington and can impress. I remember talking to Emory about him prior to the 2014 draft, both of us utterly enamoured with the guy. Really special instincts, decent athletic profile. Punishing hitter. He's the prototype.

 

Fields had 29 pass breakups in 3 years as a starter as Winston-Salem.

No one picked up Zimmer, too bad seemed like he had some talent, maybe Canada
