26CornerBlitz Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 @PSchrags Sources: Bills signing Logan Thomas off DET practice squad. Inspired by T. Pryor's move to WR, BUF sees a potential TE. @NFLonFOX @gmfb @JoeBuscaglia Joe Buscaglia Retweeted Peter Schrager Quite intriguing. That gives the #Bills their third tight end on the roster. Likely takes the roster spot of the suspended Henderson Already Reported.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 In case anyone was curious, the last time Tyrod Taylor and Logan Thomas were on the same team they went 11-3, won an ACC Championship, and lost to Andrew Luck in the Orange Bowl.
YoloinOhio Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 @andybitterVT Well, Tyrod Taylor has thrown a touchdown pass to Logan Thomas before. #Hokies I like these kinds of moves!
BADOLBILZ Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 @pschrags Sources: Bills signing Logan Thomas off DET practice squad. Inspired by T. Pryor's move to WR, BUF sees a potential TE. @NFLonFOX @gmfb Like this move. I was wondering when they were going to pluck a TE prospect to develop off one of these PS's. At one time this guy looked like a potential #1 overall pick as a QB but he never made the strides last couple years at VT after being converted from a HS TE to QB. Good target cuz Detroit has TE talent so they aren't likely going to sweat losing him. Part of the strategy is knowing which guys aren't likely to get promoted to the active roster if you claim them. I was thinking more about Rico Gathers in Dallas but Thomas is a beast of an athlete and likely to be further along. Was going to start a thread a week ago about players who posters would like to see the Bills pluck off opposing practice squads but didn't want to fire up all the people who would see that as conceding the playoffs were out of reach.

Thanks for the history lesson Hokie!

The bets between the Clemson and VT Bills are going to be lit for this weekend's game
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 The bets between the Clemson and VT Bills are going to be lit for this weekend's game I know of one that's been in the works since NC State upset UNC
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Also, for those who do not know, Logan Thomas was actually recruited to VT to play Tight End. The move to QB was out of some combination of necessity and potential.
fansince88 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Why don't we try EJ at tight end?can he catch? Thats important at the position. besides who will bark out the fake snaps? Edited November 29, 2016 by fansince88
YoloinOhio Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 Why don't we try EJ at tight end? EJ would need to want to make the switch. As a pending FA QB who has starting experience, I doubt he is ready to make that move yet. Thomas never even got to the point EJ did as a QB. I am sure he is looking at Pryor and thinking now or never at age 25. Plus as Hokie said, Thomas was originally recruited a TE and Pryor was a guy who OSU tried for years to convert to WR because that was his natural position. Pryor did catch a few passes in different offensive packages at OSU. EJ has only played QB.

RyanC883 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Love the move. Great find. Perhaps TT will be able to locate him when he is wide open, since he can't seem to find any of our current TE's when they are open.
YoloinOhio Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Sal Capaccio Verified account @SalSports 4m4 minutes ago I can confirm through an organizational source that the Bills have signed TE (former QB) Logan Thomas.

Mike in Horseheads Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 @andybitterVT Well, Tyrod Taylor has thrown a touchdown pass to Logan Thomas before. #Hokies I like these kinds of moves! Are we sure who through the pass and who caught it?
Kirby Jackson Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 I am irrationally excited about this. Logan Thomas is the perfect project. He has loads of physical talent; he was once thought to be a future 1st overall pick. I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything but it is exciting nonetheless. IF (giant IF) you could ever harness Thomas' athleticism you may have found a contributor at a position of need. He is 6'6" and 260 lbs already!! He ran the fastest 40, longest broad jump and had the highest vertical of any QB in his draft class. Thomas is a great athlete.

I'm very intrigued. Like Pryor, I suspect pass catcher is more of a natural position for him than QB but he didn't want to give up playing QB until he had to. Edited November 29, 2016 by YoloinOhio
