billsfan89 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Plenty of depth behind Gaines, I wish the NFL had a proper disabled list but oh well maybe put him on the PUP to start the year?

I see no reason to outright cut him if his injury carries into the regular season. He'd be a great candidate for PUP and they could decide to settle or activate him later down the stretch. Not sure how guaranteed money would play in here, but it couldn't be too much. Now if he is back healthy before the season, the may the best make the team

Teams usually carry 6 corners, I don't see the team having 6 corners better than EJ however you have to make sure he is healthy.

Gaines' groin injury probably comes as no surprise to the coaching staff. He was probably signed as depth with the intention of limited playing time.

Once they go, you never really fully recover and they are always vulnerable to re-injury. Sorry to say, I think its time to move on from EJ. Just cannot stay healthy consistently. Its a shame, he plays well when he actually plays. Can't live with them, can't live without them!
AllenLongBall Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 This guy was injury prone the last time he played here...

Capco Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) This is why you want good depth at defensive back. Durability is often a concern, especially for corners (safeties seem to get injured less frequently). And the best part? We have good depth at DB. That's all on Beane folks. In addition, McD's defense doesn't rely on stud corners sitting on an island (although it's certainly nice to be able to lean on one at times with White), so Beane can acquire 3-4 decent guys rather than 1-2 studs without hurting the defense.

MR8 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Add him to the PUP, shut him down for the rest of the off-season, and bring him back or release him in week 6 depending how our depth looks at that point.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 EJ Manuel doing anything? Coaches won’t have to learn a new first name / initials...

ghostwriter Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Not a big loss, we have more depth than the Mariana Trench. He'll be back in time if someone else goes down.

We all know 8 games out of Gaines is Probably the best you get. Good player. Low risk as long as you have depth for when he is (and he will be) unavailable. 3
Mark Vader Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 This guy is the Trent Murphy of the secondary. A real shame, because he's a good cornerback. I agree with some of the posters here about putting him on the PUP list. We have very good depth in our secondary, and Gaines can play later.
