IgotBILLStopay Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Been really excited about the Singletary / Moss pairing in the backfield. I just realized that I had forgotten about Wade. I am excited to see what he can do with a full year of adapting to American football rules. 1 1
MAJBobby Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Wade will not make the football team again and will be on the PS with his international exemption again Edited April 26, 2020 by MAJBobby 9
Captain Caveman Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 do we get another exemption for him this year?

Shooter McGavin Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) He’s turning 29 in a few weeks. I hope he makes the most of training camp because another year on PS and then boom 30 where injuries seem to pop up more frequently especially while playing running back Edited April 26, 2020 by Shooter McGavin 1
IgotBILLStopay Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Very nice Wade interview (Feb 2020) about the Bills organization, Bills Mafia, Wade's goals - to make the 53 etc. 9 minutes ago, Captain Caveman said: do we get another exemption for him this year? I thought we dont. If he is on the PS, another team can sign him this year off our PS, no?
CommonCents Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Also don’t forget about that chicken leg WR that we heard about for months. He will also not be making this team!

Is it that he will be a practice squad player only - or his exemption is only for 2019 season? Quote International player allocation, Christian Wade, was added as the exempt 11th practice squad player, meaning he cannot be elevated to Buffalo's active roster. He'll be a practice squad player only for the 2019 season. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-begin-to-assemble-practice-squad-christian-wade-holds-11th-exempt-spot
Penfield45 Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 If she shows signs of improvement this season I don't see why he can't be the 3rd string back.
Rc2catch Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 22 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Wade will not make the football team again and will be on the PS with his international exemption again That’s where I’m at with it. Motor Moss Taiwan will be active, Yeldon the inactive again. Wade back to the PS another season. Things can change due to injuries or something but I just can’t see any real outcome where he’s an active player on this team.
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 There’s just too much nuance to the game to be learned at this late of an age. Picking up blitzes, learning how to take what the defense is giving you sometimes (not trying to turn every run into a touchdown), plus the extreme complexity of NFL offenses in terms of number of plays, terminology, and concepts. We love the underdog here in Buffalo, but I don’t think he’s the next Fred Jackson.
Freddie's Dead Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 45 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Wade will not make the football team again and will be on the PS with his international exemption again I hope you're wrong. Wade would be a dynamite player. It's also just wrong to give a team exclusive rights to a guy for two years only to sideline him. Wade isn't getting any younger. Please save the "he's learning how to play the game" replies, the reserve clause was struck down in the '70s. 2

PromoTheRobot Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) People are already writing him off. Not sure why. I guess they know something we don't.

I don't know why either. I don't get the Taiwan Jones lock either. Bills brought in some guys that could bump him off the roster. Everyone knows how McDermott and Beane like guys that can do more than 1 thing. I see Perry and Roberts as targets to replace. Maybe 1 makes the roster but 2 is a stretch.

philholbroo Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I really would like Wade to be looked at as the kick returner and move on from Roberts, opening up another WR spot. I think he would be a good returner at the least. 4

I’m getting a good feel of every position in offence, making myself more versatile and available to ‘coach’.” Edited April 27, 2020 by IgotBILLStopay 2
