Expand I agree with on the bench. He WILL get a decent contract but he WONT deserve it. Guessing he will net us a 4th or 5th (based on the Bills overall+/- net free agent class signings).
HappyDays Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Foster and McKenzie made him expendable. Both should see their role increased moving forward. Benjamin would be gone too if not for a potential comp pick.
John from Riverside Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 I keep seeing poster's complaining that we are trying out these low salary on the street free agents/low draft pick aquisitions We are dead cap strapped If you dont try you will never improve You might find lightening in a bottle (mcKenzie might be that.....Colemen was not.....Pryor was low risk/high reward.....Colemen the same Dont B word that they are not trying to improve the roster then B word when they do and it does not work out.....there are no number 1 receivers on the market right now....jesus Dez Bryant broke his body after less then a week?

Expand More of them means less of KB, and that’s a very good thing!

Doesn't mean he has to be on the field. He's 100 percent useless and I was done with him early in the LAC game when he was lazy on a block and his man stopped Shady at the line of scrimmage. DONE. Expand Not sure if OBD will be getting compensation for our lost FA's as many will be budget signees elsewhere and we will have $80mm plus to chase starter / game changer FA's. The comp picks are awarded based on net losses so not a given we get any. 2 1
Shaw66 Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 'm glad to see him go. Certainly didn't contribute much. But beyond that, he just didn't feel like a McDermott type guy. A guy with that much phyusical talent either isn't too smart or isn't working hard enough - he just should be a better player than he is. Keep the merry-go-round going until you find some keepers. 1

I got the impression from his interviews that he considered himself a primadonna on this team. Expand Was it worse than the one Benjamin essentially ignored? I can't remember the specifics, but he was behind the defender at the sideline, and he just let one fall by his side. It genuinely looked like even the least effort could have brought it in. I'll try to find it.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 The Patriots do this all the time and no one blames them. They made a calculated decision that of the three guys they recently signed, Foster and McKittrick stay, and Pryor goes. That is not surprising at all given that we have no reason to keep seven WR.

buffaloboyinATL Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Looked like he gave no effort out there. Open roster spot?
