Cal kid from years back.. 3
HOUSE Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Special teams ace LB Jared Norris 26yr old (who was waived by CAROLINA) would be an obvious signing by the Bills now that Deon Lacey is gone 1 Edited September 1, 2019 by HOUSE

Jamie Mueller Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 If I understand the rules properly, wouldn't the Bills be able to sign Colquitt right now... without waiting for the noon waiver period deadline? I think that he's got something like 10 years in the league. It's the same reason that KC was able to sign McCoy yesterday. Maybe they're trying for one of the younger options. I read that Colquitt had a surgical procedure on his knee and subsequently missed Cleveland's mini camp last spring. Based on his track record, I've got to believe that he'd be the guy they wanted if he was 100% healthy.

With only 2 QB's on the roster need an emergency QB on the PS to call up in case of Injuries and this kid has looked good for 2 years.

Look up Teams can make alterations to their rosters as early as Sunday, with the waiver wire being a popular source of roster moves for teams across the league.

Sure... but I think that everyone is missing the point. You don't put a quarterback on the practice roster with a plan to have him play for you this year. If injuries happen and you needed another QB on the active roster, you'd probably still sign someone from the street (like we did last year with both Barkley and Anderson). If you like a young prospect well enough, it just gives you the opportunity to work with the guy for the next 12 months... get him ready for training camp next year. Mind you... to go to all that trouble, you'd have to really see something special in that young quarterback... like Gruden sees in Peterman.

I just think why would you say "oh well we can have any old guy on the Practice Squad" when you could say "who are the best PS eligible guys out there?"

The Bills may have a bid in on a waived punter that they would have to sign, so we just got to wait and see. 1

The only way a guy like Jackson (or whatever QB may be on the PS) would play on Sunday is if on a road game Allen fell down the stairs getting off the plane and landed on Barkley and they are now both out 24 hours before the game. Or even if one were hurt, he'd get promoted to active 53 and be the backup for Sunday, but on Monday, they'd be looking to sign a new experienced guy and would then cut Jackson (or other) and maybe hope they can re-sign him to PS again. On another note, I don't believe and undrafted rookies made the roster this season correct? Edited September 1, 2019 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch

The only QB that matters is Allen. If he doesn’t work out then we’ll be starting over. Having a QB on the PS is pointless to me. We pulled Barkley off the streets last year and he played well with little preparation. If I’m down to my 3rd QB to start a game then I’d rather go with a vet who just signed a week ago. 31 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: While that is true aren't you better with a 3rd guy who at least knows the playbook? I don’t think it matters. The game plan is likely going to be real limited regardless of having a developmental QB from the practice squad or a vet signed a week ago.

It kinda makes sense. Well, there are 10 slots. Teams typically carry a couple linemen from each side and a WR or two. That leaves 4 openings, so not many positions.
