eSJayDee Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Surprised that Gay would be eligible for Practice Squad. Hasn't he been w/ us for portions of 2 yrs? I would've thought him being on the active roster for as many games as he was would've precluded it. Also, if you want to develop/stash a kicker, I would think that Morgan (guy we released ~1 month ago) would be a better choice. There were some reports that he was outkicking Carpenter. Seems like he'd be a prime candidate to develop. Gay, OTOH, although possessing a strong leg, has been around long enough if he hasn't adequately improved his accuracy/consistency, he likely never will.
Blokestradamus Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Veteran rule, two or fewer accrued seasons are still eligible for 4 spots. Marshall Morgan is terrible.

Probably to use him during special team drills so Carpenter doesn't have to kick often during the week
hondo in seattle Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Probably to use him during special team drills so Carpenter doesn't have to kick often during the week Interesting explanation and you may very well be right. But it does seem like an odd way to spend a valuable resource (a PS slot). And I think the OP is probably right about Gay. If he hasn't gotten his accuracy up to NFL level by now, he probably never will. On the other hand, seeing Dez Lewis signed to the practice squad is no surprise with the Bills only carrying 5 WRs.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Are you saying he's not eligible because he's gay?? S m h
