Ok so now their plan comes to light. They weren’t going to expose Hodgins to a waiver claim and worked out a deal with Roberts to return. Well done all around. Hodgins also doesn’t necessarily miss the season given the new IR rules. 

It's what was being said yesterday. They were being smart about who did and didn't have to go through waivers. At least this way although they were reliant on Roberts and Marlowe sticking to an agreed deal, it's far less risky than via waivers where the player and Bills lose control

So when does the next part of the machiavellian scheme take place?

I'm keeping an eye on the Borgia's for the next clue.

A “wink-wink” shoulder injury. Good job Bills. 
 

What a great culture the Bills have now. Cut two vets who are free to go wherever they want but there is mutual trust to wait a day for the benefit of the team and both come back.

Nothing says great culture like "wink-wink" rule manipulation!

Seriously?  This has  been going on forever in the NFL.  Your GM is a moron if he does not take advantage.

2 question regarding Hodgins.

 

1. We can use him this year right? After 3 games or 6 games? 

2. He has to be in fact injured to be on IR right? Does the league somehow control this so teams don't abuse this?

1. Yes, 3 games 

2. Yes an injury that would hinder practice and/or play  but does not need to be a serious injury that would be season ending

It still could happen, the first injury where they need to make a roster move and Jake is gone.  I'll rule it out on New Year Day.

the Bills made him practice the last two days without shoulder pads to make sure he'd qualify.

 

 

So from what I can figure there were just 4 guys the Bills didn't try to sign to PS:

 

R Foster

B Allen

T Smart

M Harrell

 

Haven't seen where any of those 4 were picked up by another team??

Looks like some posters will have to abandon the Bills as "cap champions" and give that title to the PATS*!

I'm assuming the latest cap numbers include Tre White's massive new contract.   Big contracts is the inevitable consequence of having great players and wanting to keep them.

Why would they keep Fromm on the 53 only to cut him if Webb made the PS?  Why not just keep Webb?

Foster Packers and we claimed their Touchdown Jesus. It was like a trade of WR6 lol

I read a list of four or five guys who missed the last practice who could be IR candidates.  The new IR rules for this season give them a ton of flexibility.  I don’t think Hodgins is going anywhere.

Hodgins to IR with a bruised ego!!!
