When was the last time a team brought in a PS QB to fill in when their starter went down? I hear ya. I’m not stating what teams do. I’m stating what I think teams with 2 QBs should do. To answer your last question, I have no idea and don’t really care enough to dig. Most likely never if what you say is true about teams in the past. edit: one google search, didn’t even have to dig. https://www.49ers.com/news/the-49ers-were-desperate-for-a-win-and-nick-mullens-helped-get-them-one Edited September 1, 2019 by NewEra

Got himself hurt on the play as well... if I remember correctly. He also fumbled a room service punt snap that cost us 7. Hence why I call him Bodork.

Wish him the best in his new spot but was never working out here. Not sure why everyone is so down on him. Seemed like he showed enough to keep on the PS and see if he pans out in a year with some more development.

I don’t think the Bills have exclusive rights to him though. Would be weird if he signed to another teams PS but wouldn’t surprise me.

PS QBs also often run opponents plays in practice to help the defense prepare for games etc.

Even the Bills apparently wanted him for the PS, but never got the chance since the panthers claimed him for the 53.

It could happen, if the Bills felt as highly about him as the fans, I'm sure they would want him with the exception, but if he is offered a regular PS spot on another team they would make him an offer to not use the exception for him 1 minute ago, NewEra said: I thought we had exclusive rights once he passes waivers? Could be wrong I don't think anyone really knows, lol I think the exclusive rights only apply to the 11th man exception for the PS 1

All I’ve seen is only the teams participating in the International Pathways Program get the roster exemption. Which kind of makes sense. If he signs with the Bills through the program he can’t be elevated to the active roster. Why limit a player to only being able to sign with one team if he could possibly be made active on another? If you get what I mean. Wouldn’t be fair to the player. Unless he would prefer to sit and learn, with the Bills. 3 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: It could happen, if the Bills felt as highly about him as the fans, I'm sure they would want him with the exception, but if he is offered a regular PS spot on another team they would make him an offer to not use the exception for him It’s also up to Wade, if he signs to another teams PS, he might have a chance of being activated to their active roster whereas if he signs to the Bills PS, he’s there all season no matter what. 1

Yeah, you cannot make a player sign with you, him and his agent have to agree with the contract. Even when players are poached off your PS to sign with other teams, that team just makes an offer, and the agent then tells your team and if you want to beat that offer with a better one, AND the player wants to stay with you and not the new team, you can sign him.

Yea and Sal C had confirmed as much, the Bills have the option to sign him to their PS as a regular or as their exemption. 1
