Mueller was a real favorite of mine back then... I was a really big fan of Kenneth Davis as well but somebody already had that name when I joined. ?

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. 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. Only if he is the 11th man exemption. If he signs on the regular 10 man PS he can be activated throughout the season. 1

If signed to the regular PS, teams could take him but for their 53 (and since he wasn't claimed while making very little), I doubt anyone is going to swipe him off the PS from Buffalo, they may make an offer to put him on the PS though 1

But if he is they have to put him on their 53, or they have to put him on waivers to put him on their PS I believe (you can't take someone off anothers PS to put on your own)

Wouldn't want him for a PS.... As soon as regular season starts and injuries happens Adams is gonna get phone calls. Don't think he would last long on a teams practice squad. Gotta think about stuff like that... You want to use a PS to develop players for your team in the future and not to get poached by other teams when an injury happens
Jamie Mueller Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Seems kinda funny to put another team's cuts on your PS... instead of the guys from your own training camp roster that you've been working with all spring and summer long. Maybe what we're seeing is teams reaching out for guys that they had wanted to take in the 2019 draft... or maybe tried to sign as UDFA after the draft but got outbid for that player.

They count the PS as guys that on are the team just like the 53 and have to be ready to play immediately if called upon. And what if one of the Bills get injured, wouldn't you want a guy who is good and has shown he can play at this level already but is still young? 2

At the same time they've seen those guys up close and have a better idea of who's got it and who doesn't. The guys they really liked and were tough to cut might make the ps but the rest are probably going to be replaced by other guys they want to get a look at.

Well scouts are studying other teams... If they see a potential upgrade by watching preseason games and that player is released they will add them to practice squad. I think it's nice to add a mixture of guys who is familiar with the team and the plays and better players from other teams to a practice squad.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Why are we carrying 5 TE's when every other team is carrying 2 or 3?

There are all kinds of players around the league the scouts for both pro and college like and want to bring in but for various reasons havent been able to yet. If that guy becomes available they lob by hard for them Just now, Wayne Cubed said: Isaiah McKenzie though... Broncos cut. I think he fumbled four punts.

But licklihood is another team will sign him to a 53 man roster before one of our RBs get hurt. Thats why its good to have a good under the radar RB on the PS. Don't have to worry about other teams. If we add Adams.... I think he would only be on practice squad for one or two weeks before another team has an injury and takes him off our team... Then we are stuck having to find another RB to add to PS

Not everyone the Bills cut are guys they wanted to keep but couldn't because of numbers, some cuts weren't that hard to make because they just didn't like what they saw from the player
