Who said Bates was getting cut? I was continuing a on-going pattern of responses indicating Bates as the alternative to Seantrel.

He’s not an “alternative” to him if they are both on the team. Bates is already on the 53. They would be both be in depth roles.

I guess it’s a matter of perception? Bates IS on the team and Henderson visited. I was responding to a To a question that asked who would be the better alternative. The alternative is already on the team and that is Ryan Bates. Not really sure why you decided that you needed to respond the way you did, but I’ll just let it go and carry-on.

I hoping Bates gets some snaps today to spell Ford (just for the rest, not because Ford is doing terrible). Whoever is out there, they will be tested by the Broncos D-line and linebackers.

How can Bates be the 4th tackle when he's already the 3rd tackle?

He can’t really be the alternative because he is already there. The tackles were Dawkins-Nsekhe-Ford-Bates. The argument is what is the best possible 4 now with Nsekhe out? Dawkins-Ford-Bates-? That is where Henderson enters the conversation (or whomever people prefer as that guy).

I didn’t read through this entire thread To see if any one posted this.

 

although this regime was the one that cut him I remembering reading articles where McDermott and staff were quoted about being very impressed with his work ethic.

 

it has been a tough road for him after his issues in college, but I like seeing that the kid got some years in, and some money out of, the nfl.

This has been discussed ad nauseum. 
 

Marijuana (or opioids, for that matter) is not part of the standard of care for treating Crohn’s disease.  It is not prescribed, typically, by Crohns specialists to treat the acute or chronic phases of this disease. 
 

Henderson would not, therefore, have received a medical exception.  Knowing this, he smoked anyway, knowing it was a violation.  The consequences are his to bear.  There is no alternative in this situation at this point. 
 

 

I'm sure if he signs with the Pats you'll come up with a lot of alternative reasonings.

I wasn’t being snarky. I just didn’t understand the comment. They need to replace Nseckhe roster spot in either the short term or long term depending how long he’s out. Bates already has a roster spot. That’s all.

Apologies. I misunderstood that part. I took it as who was going to replace Nsekhe’s active roster spot. Bates being most-often inactive this season but on the roster made him the logical choice from that perspective.

I am going to preempt the response with the response of ....Ryan Bates.

We have him already. Who backs up Bates?

Bates, Botteger, Lee Smith, a bag of sand ... in that order.

So, reasonable discussion not gonna happen.  Thanks for the heads up, let's disengage.

So sounds like the Bills either said "No" or "vet minimum" and Seantrel said "Let me get back to you on that"

 

They probably "Said hope you enjoyed the trip and tour of new facilities.  We have updated our file and will let you know if we determine we need to sign another linemen. Good luck."
