He can choose not to play, but he can't choose where he goes.

He's an 8 year vet The injury question is more pressing. I think after the trade deadline all cuts are subject to waivers. Edited November 28, 2020 by The Jokeman 1

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 That’s the type of guy Green Bay could really use. For some strange reason they are like petrified to bring in free agents. I’d take him here in a second. Hope he doesn’t end up on one of the other afc contenders. Baltimore, Cleveland, Miami etc

TigerJ Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Smoke is missing another game due to an ankle injury. The pertinent question is, how bad is the ankle? If it is a week to week injury, the Bills might be better off to put him on IR and sign a rental like Stills. We're not in a position to answer that question, however.

Smith ? Yup. The last guys we've picked up are, not including guys we've let go and then re-signed like Deon Lacey, Cam Lewis and Lafayette Pitts ... listed in reverse order from the most recent: CB Daryl Worley LB Darron Lee TE Charles Jones LB Ahmad Gooden TE Nate Becker RB Antonio Williams CB Jonatthan Harrison DT Brandin Bryant G/C Jordan Devey DT Chris Slayton WR Jake Kumerow I was only going to go back ten, but the last two were signed on the same day. One Panthers guy, which is around 9% out of a group chosen for recency. Anyone still harping on about this is only showing that their RES has been activated about Carolina. They did step it up among some of the bigger FAs last offseason, but why wouldn't you? By the time the season started it was beginning to seem likely that COVID was going to cause problems with offseason get-togethers. It's not a mistake that most of those Carolina pickups this year were on defense. In a season that looked like it might not have a traditional offseason, why wouldn't you concentrate on guys who had already played in your system and wouldn't be hurt as badly by missed offseason activities?

JohnBonhamRocks Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 I hope we don’t sign him because that sounds like Brown out long term.

So you are saying that when choosing among fringe roster players with 3 years or less of NFL experience that the 4th year Bills GM and HC are choosing less Carolina players? Well I guess you've proven that they don't have an inordinate amount of focus on players that were with them in Carolina. They were on more of their former Carolina players than ever this past offseason. And of the 20 or so former Carolina free agents they've tried since coming to Buffalo only Daryl Williams and Dean Marlowe have proven worth the investment so far. Personally I am not a huge detractor of trying to collect players that are familiar with their system...........it makes sense on the surface but it hasn't been a very lucrative endeavor trying to tap into their old Carolina pipeline. 1

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 38 minutes ago, 3rdand12 said: why not cleveland ? Wellllllll.....the Browns have two RBs who have more yards than their top 2 WR. Baker Mayfield is averaging 185 ypg. If you're a WR looking to "make your mark" and earn a new contract, that heavy on the "run first" may not be how you want to roll. 1
BillsFanForever19 Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 With John Brown out a minimum of 3 weeks - I'm more open to the idea of putting in a claim for Stills. But I doubt he makes it to our waiver priority.
