SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) That will let them cut Yates and put Wenning on PS. That extra spot for WR with potential. The PS is for young QB's. Wenning was drafted in 2014 but he should qualify for it. An NFL practice squad typically is made up of rookies and undrafted free agents who the team recently cut. Each team can carry up to four veterans — who can have no more than two accrued NFL seasons (six games on 53-man roster qualifies as an accrued season) — on its practice squad, and a player can't be on a given practice squad for more than three seasons. Practice squad players are not eligible to play in games. Teams can sign players from other teams' practice squads as long as the players are added to the new teams' 53-man rosters (active/inactive).

reddogblitz Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 With the number of injuries in this league, I think that you have to have a 3rd QB on your roster. Teams are teeing off on QBs and Tyrod is not the most durable guy around. Even if you pick up a green "developmental" player and park him on the practice squad you have to have some insurance in this league. I don't know that I would call missing 2 games due to injury in 2 years as "not durable".

LABILLBACKER Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Or that... Logan Thomas could be the emergency third QB. I'm shocked more people haven't suggested this...yates is awful...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I'm shocked more people haven't suggested this...yates is awful... ...why short change Thomas for his progress at TE?....guy is a beast......TT & Peterman to active 53.......Wenning kid to PS (still eligible) and Logan as your emergency if the other three are out...my opinion only.....Yates is adios..........
Punt75 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 You look for upside, if possible. Like, what if the Lions cut Jake Rudock? Grab him over Yates, IMO. There's really no reason for a vet journeyman at 3rd string. That's a spot for a developmental guy. The 3rd string QB should be someone that has POTENTIAL. I think Yates has shown his best
metbill Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I would sign Connor Shaw as soon as/if the Browns cut him today, if they do. Kid is sharp and was nothing but a winner in college.
8-8 Forever? Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 doesn't matter bc neither one will be anywhere near OBD next March... they are "camp arms" for this season.
CSBill Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) If the Bills feel they really need a 3rd QB: Matt McGloin, just released by the Eagles, good NFL experience, smart, tough, gutzee, kind of player Edited September 2, 2017 by CSBill
buffaloaggie Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I saw Yates had a cap number of $655K. Relatively inexpensive cut.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Link? ....nothing showing up anywhere yet.........
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 That's why I asked. zip from the Bills site and Rodent has yet to wake up
buffaloaggie Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 That's why I asked. zip from the Bills site and Rodent has yet to wake up May be wishful thinking only at this point
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 You mean Yates is still here??? -Wtf????? until 4pm, then nope
JoeF Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Panthers just released Joe Webb, who also plays special teams. Beane and McDermott love Joe Webb.....watch out for this one and Yates to be gone.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 That's why I asked. zip from the Bills site and Rodent has yet to wake up ...maybe with ONE spot left, McD flips a coin between Yates and Vlad.......oh joy...............
