Expand Yes. One more thing about Wade. Signing to Bills PS guarantees he'll be at camp next year.

billieve420 Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 If the Kumerow signing happens. Swapping him in and replacing Foster looks like an upgrade so no huge loss there. 1

If it was snap or plays based as a Buffalo Bill - the conditions might still be met and they would still get the pick.

Other teams have signed players from other teams to their PS This would only affect the player being able to join the team at the teams facility for Practice. Expand Because this regime is the type to not announce anything until all the 'i's' are dotted and the 't's' are crossed and they get them in the building for a physical. They've been even more so overly cautious during COVID. The entire world knew Brian Winters was coming to Buffalo. But Beane refused to call it a done deal in radio interviews for close to a week until they did all their COVID protocols. Other teams are less conservative and don't mind if they have to announce later that it fell through. Edited September 6, 2020 by BillsFanForever19

Expand Kumerow isn't going to become a star, but he's big and dependable, and can block. He's 6'4 1/2" and runs a 4.54, not too bad for a big guy. And he's a process guy all the way. He has played in and started a few games. You can do a lot worse for a practice squad player. 1 1
FLFan Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 On 9/6/2020 at 7:40 PM, ICanSleepWhenI'mDead said: As I understand it, after Foster cleared waivers, he was free to sign on to the practice squad of any team that wanted him. It's certainly possible that the Bills didn't want him. It's also possible that both the Bills and GB wanted him, but he felt he would have a better chance of being later elevated to the 53 on the Packers rather than the Bills. With 2 of this year's WR draftees kept on the Bills' 53 while he was cut, I could understand Foster thinking he would have better future opportunities elsewhere. Expand Of course that’s possible. Perhaps we will find out if the Bills had any continuing interest and perhaps not. I tend to think not. This is his third kick at the can with the Bills. He was awful last year, after some promising signs the year before. He apparently did nothing to convince the Bills he was worth another year of development.
gobills1212 Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Funny, its like we swapped Foster for Kumerow. Sure, why not? Lets give it a whirl! Edited September 6, 2020 by gobills1212

Started with the team releasing Jordy Nelson. Then, he was tight with AVP and the Pack replaced him as OC. Two drafts followed with no WRs picked.
