Kelly the Dog Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Only 36 total players were claimed league wide. That somewhat surprises me. 2
Wayne Cubed Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 And now the process begins to sign players to the PS, be interesting to see if Beane goes after players from other teams 1

Kelly the Dog Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Doesn't look like Bills claimed anyone, and doesn't look like Duke was claimed but that is not official.
Wayne Cubed Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Looks like the Bills can sign Wade, if he wants to sign with them 1

apuszczalowski Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 7 minutes ago, NewEra said: I don’t think Kyle Sloter is terrible and much worse than any FA QB without a job midseason. We struck gold with Barkley last season. We whiffed on DA last season. More valuable, imo, than a 5th TE, 7th interior OL, 8th WR. Sure, we may sign a vet QB if JA and MB get hurt, but the practice squad Qb still has use running the scout team and being the backup qB. Sure, some PS positions/players can be very important. Some irrelevant. I’d rather have a security blanket at the most important position in sports over hoping there’s a retread worth our while and that he stays healthy. Without a Ps qb, we would only dress 1 QB? those that say it won’t matter because the season would over are making a terrible assumption, that the QBs injuries are season ending. I believe our coaching and defense can carry us for a few weeks. But are they really a Security Blanket? They may know the offence but that won't help if they aren't good enough to run it. If Allen or Barkley went down they would sign someone off the street. Coaching won't carry them through games if the QB sucks. Nate Peterman knew the offence and ran it with the same coaches and they couldn't carry the team through a few games. PS QBs are guys that they don't think are ready for the league but have tools they believe could be good if they can coach them up.

co_springs_billsfan Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Did anyone claim any of the Bills' cuts last year? 3 of our cuts claimed this year? Ray Ray, Lacy, Lewis...

Is losing Ray-Ray really that much of a loss though? He has yet to really show that he has the ability to do anything on the field yet

The Pats four, and the Bills and Ravens three. No others had that many Edited September 1, 2019 by Kelly the Dog 1 1
BillsFan4 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Still waiting/hoping to hear news on a punter... I hope the Bills brass aren’t too firm on having a guy with a huge leg because “buffalo weather”. give me a guy with consistently over a guy like Bojo who can kick it 60+ yards 1/10 times in practice.

Well they haven't signed any of the available FAs, and it wasn't because they were waiting on a waiver claim...............

MrEpsYtown Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I think the Bills took Lacey from the Dolphins originally, so I guess full circle? Anyways a name out there that's fairly interesting is Jacob Hollister, former Pat and Hawk. Former Allen target at Wyoming. I know we have a bunch of tight ends, but he's a more of a Croom like tight end, weho showed promise in the Patriots system. And we we need a punter.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Were any punters claimed around the league?

I am starting to wonder if they aren’t going to make a move there not because Bororquez is good but because we played Punter roulette last year and it also seemed to affect Hauschka kicking FGs. At least this way Hauschka can get comfortable .
