Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Buffalo has 5 receivers on the roster. Obviously Jordan Matthews is not going anywhere. I don't think Zay Jones is either. as a second round draft choice he gets a pass on his struggles catching the ball this season. There is enough college tape on the guy to suggest this is probably just a case of rookie jitters and he's going to get over it. After his game this past weekend, Deonte Thomson isn't going to be cut today or tomorrow. That leaves three possibilities. Streater essentially outplayed Andre Holmes in the preseason, and I don't think the Bills are married to the guy. Holmes has a nice catch radius, but Streater is almost as tall, and a good deal faster. Brandon Tate could be cut. He has nice size, but Streater is a bit bigger. Tate is a decent all around player and a solid return guy, but he's nothing really special. I could see Streater replacing either of them. It's also possible the Bills could decide to carry 6 receivers, though I have no idea at what position they might make a cut. Maybe offensive tackle.Croom versus Khari Lee is interesting to consider. Croom is taller and much more athletic. He was with the Bills this summer, and I don't think it is much of a stretch to think the Bills could switch out Khari Lee for Croom if Croom is fully healthy Tate is a very sure handed punt returner. He had a nice return against Cincinnati as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Â Â Talent acknowledged, but they can't afford to wait on him to put it all together in-season. @caplannfl #Bills also worked out TE Jason Croom. Â Â I thought Croom was on injured reserve. Temporary IR designation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I thought Croom was on injured reserve. Temporary IR designation? He agreed to an injury settlement two weeks before the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 08/20/2017 Â Â Â Designated TE Jason Croom as waived/injured. After that I think he was put on IR and then like the 26th he had an injury settlement. I thought I saw that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Can we still cut Holmes and get that comp pick it is it past the deadline? I think week 10 is the deadline. I wouldn't expect that to happen. While not a big contributor he has been a decent role player. If not for bailing out Zay we lose another game probably I think. He also knows the offense better than some guy coming off the street even if he was in camp. A lot has probably changed since then.

JM57 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 He has already been back for several punts, so they're not too worried, although he usually fair catches them, and a bunch of teams will use valuable starters as their return guys. People do heroin, but it doesn't mean we should. Just because someone else does it, doesn't make it a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the best coach in history does it. The Super Bowl winning coach of the Steelers does it. The Super Bowl winning Broncos did it. The Super Bowl coach of the Panthers does it. See a pattern here?

fansince88 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Per the updated rules it is 3 weeks past settlement. Buffalo Rumblings say near thanksgiving but that was last years rules. Doesnt sem like they would work them out and "expose them " to the league if they couldnt sign them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Bills have a Hyde clone ready to go? They don't. So you don't risk getting him hurt returning kicks or punts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
