YoloinOhio Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Rex is gone so we won’t be keeping 2 kickers. He’s pretty decent. Jets need to find a kicker before our game. They had a pro bowl kicker and decided to let him walk (?) despite having gobs of cap space and are now in a bad place. Have a feeling they claim McLaughlin off waivers when he’s cut. They are 3rd in waiver order. Edited August 30, 2019 by YoloinOhio
CLTbills Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Too bad Beane couldn't find a way to trade him for something! Jets wouldn't make a trade knowing they're so high in the waiver order, but is there another team that needs one to keep him from going there? Edited August 30, 2019 by CLTbills 2

TheyCallMeAndy Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I'm pretty impressed with this kid, hopefully we don't regret signing SH to a new deal. He should land someplace.
Chandler#81 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Agreed, the kid is fantastic! Pretty sure he made every kick he attempted and boomed KOs through the end zone. He’ll be picked up, I’m sure. Hope we made the right choice.... 1

They're trying out Matt Bryant

Hopefully the Bills don't regret re-signing SH and letting him walk.

Maybe we trade him to Minnesota since he looked better than their kicker that traded for earlier in the week? lol 5
whatdrought Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Flip him to Chicago for a conditional 1st rounder next year. 1 3

May Day 10 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I was thinking last night of how much I miss having a kickoff specialist and Brad Smith taking up 2 roster spots. 4 1

Hopefully the Bills don't regret re-signing SH and letting him walk. A team that expects to make the playoffs will go with a proven vet over a kid that may or may not be good. I dare say we should get used to these type of decisions.

Beane could see if he could find a trading partner. Chase McLaughlin for a 2021 7th round pick. That's chump change, but if it can keep a decent kicker out of Jetsland, it's worth it.

Ennjay Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) What are the chances he pulled a hammie on that last kickoff and goes straight to IR until 2020? 2 minutes ago, Ennjay said: And a slightly more serious question: suppose something like this happens and then a team lets the guy go with an injury settlement. What are the rules on re-signing someone like that? Are you banned for the rest of the year? Edited August 30, 2019 by Ennjay
