Jeremy Salmon of Maine was invited to Bills rookie minicamp as a long snapper

 

Wow this guy was a year behind my nephew, and split time with him at fullback here in Pa. kinda wild to see him invited to Bills camp.

He must mean Chad Kelly, no?

 

Yeah probably. Chip Kelly, Chad Kelly. Easy to mix up.

[Kelly the Dog]

Actually they have numerous similar traits.

Yep, Chip was run out of Philly, and Chad was run out of Clemson.

Kinda surprised only one RB. And is anyone else surprised the Bills didn't draft a RB with on of their three late picks?

Here is our positional breakdown for the roster, currently at 93:

 

Positional Breakdown

 

QB - 5

RB - 7

WR - 12

TE - 6

OL - 18

 

DL - 13

LB - 9

CB - 9

S - 9

 

K - 1

P - 2

LS - 1

 

 

So 7 seems a little low, but we still may add some more, provided other players get cut or moved to inured reserve lists.

And he's now rejected it in favour of an invite by the Saints because of the firing of the scouting department.

 

“New Orleans didn’t make it out to my pro day,” Salmon said. “But their special teams coach called me, and we kept in contact. Every other day, he had me send him videos of me doing different types of snaps. They expressed a lot of interest in me."

 

“They were the most persistent and the team I thought I’d call.”

 

“They don’t have a long snapper,” he said. “Their job is open, and I’m excited to go show them what I can do.”

So Salmon left for the Saints & Rumwood or Woodrum (whatever that 5th QBs name is) are gone = that should put us at 91.

[YoloinOhio]

Woodrum got cut?

[Blokestradamus]

Woodrum got cut?

 

I've seen nothing to that effect yet. Sent a DM to my guy on the ground there (I know, get me, the big shot!)

[billrooter]

Lol so much for that.

If thats the case, I think the HC will release 3 Whaley holdovers.

Seantrel and Kujo could be cut

Seantrel and Kujo could be cut

Doubt Kujo gets cut before camp. Seantrel on the other I could see getting let go.

Hard to care about UDFAs but I'm glad we got the punter Rehkow. Here's a cool story about him:

[buffaloboyinATL]

At least one of these guys is a "camp invite" who said he is trying out for us and another team, so I don't think he counts against the 90 yet.

[mead107]

Wonder if any of them will make the team. Always seems to be 1 or 2.
