brianthomas Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) It's probably a good thing i'm not the GM because i'd put Wade on the active roster & boot Yeldon & Perry off the roster instead. Wade has done far more with his limited opportunities than those 2 have. Not to mention not making the mistakes those 2 other "more experienced" players have made. As a coach you ask your players to do their best & so far Wade has just looked better. I'd be tempted to find a spot for him in the backfield & try him in the return game like others have suggested. Won't happen of course but thats what i'd do Edited August 18, 2019 by brianthomas 2

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 would hate to lose him. the kid has some talent and can be explosive. you can say rb's are a dime a dozen, which is pretty much true. losing him to another team is possible I just hope it isn't the stinking patsies**. 1 1

He’ll be on the PS What happens if they play him in games 3 or 4 and he breaks off another 50+ yard play? I have to believe a team would claim him. Perhaps Wade is too green and that's why we haven't seen him on ST or getting touches with the ones or twos. Perhaps McD is trying to stash him and we won't see much of him again.

But if a team tries to sign him off our practice squad can we add him to our active roster then? He can't be added to anybody's active roster if Buffalo puts him on their PS as the 11th player. At least that's my understanding.

Would be a great story for the NFL. Frankly, I'd love for the Bills to keep him right on the 53 and go into the season with Gore, Singletary and Wade. 2
Buffalo716 Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 It's an awesome story But like the article said at the end... He isn't going to make the team He just has to learn wayyyy to many nuances. He has a shot next year
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) @HOUSE Valiant attempt but from what I have encountered in the other posts trying to explain this it’s futile. 1. Wade can make the 53 2. Wade can make the PS as the 11th and protected player (can’t be claimed) 3. If Wade makes the PS he becomes an UFA in 2020 Or simply 4. Wade can be cut where he can be claimed off of waivers and the Pats will steal him And yes I’m sure I missed some minutiae Edited August 18, 2019 by ShadyBillsFan

Put him in with Barkley. Give him 3 to 4 plays. He continues to make plays he might earn a package for the regular season.

Next year he is a basically a FA trying to make the team and he can no longer be protected. Lets see, $10K per week on PS...times 16 games. I wonder if that compares to what he made as a rugby pro?

Nanker Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) What’s far more important is answering the burning question , can an NFL team owner also own another sports franchise at the same time? Edited August 18, 2019 by Nanker
Mrbojanglezs Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 What really screws this up is having two 30+ year old backs on the team for only this year. Do we really need 2 veteran players like that? Pick the one you want to mentor the room then get some youth and speed on the team. 1

He very much could’ve given the relevant info and linked for more instead of a multi paragraph teaser. In fact he likely included enough to violate terms, while still not sharing the info. Worst of both worlds.
