I enjoyed Phillips as well, great teammate but the Bills have moved beyond him, especially for the $ involved. Lawson "won" us one game when he got Leonard Fournette in a huff and kicked out of the game but I am glad to see any remnants of Rex depart.

What a fall from grace. 1
Slippery Rubber Mats Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 Let's say you can sign Roberts for whatever his vet minimum is and lets say we can afford it. Do you do it? 3 1 1
Coach Tuesday Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 Lawson too often plays at or close to replacement-level, which is why his employers keep struggling with reasons to pay him any more than that, it’s that simple. Dude is just average, and average veterans quickly get priced out. 4 2
BarleyNY Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Shaq is pretty much what I thought he would be pre draft. He’s a solid DE who is good against the run and can get some sacks with effort. He belongs on an NFL roster. In the right scheme he can be your second DE and he can be a rotational/third DE in others. A lot of fans had unrealistic expectations for him when he was drafted. Too many compared him to Mario and thought he’d be that kind of player, which was ridiculous. He’s a decent player, but 3 for $30M was a contract I was happy we didn’t give him.

I think the better question is who does it cost you on cutdown day. I think I'd be more inclined to roll with a younger buck who might be a better WR in case we lose somebody to injury or quarantine. 4

AND on the trading block/cutting floor if not traded Correct 5 minutes ago, SydneyBillsFan said: What a fall from grace. NFL = Not For Long It seems he was a guy who felt entitled when he got drafted, busted his hump in a contract year, then "retired in place" a bit when he got paid. I was disappointed when we didn't re-sign him, and various people expressed the above view. In hindsight, they had a point.

Excellent shot he gets axed. He is their 7-8th listed WR and is second behind the infamous KeKe Coutee as a returner.

BobbyC81 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 51 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Wrote on here a few days ago Texans would likely cut Shaq Lawson and Andre Roberts. Roberts is old and has virtually no potential trade value. Other than the money, I assume Roberts figured he’d get a lot more opportunities returning kickoffs with Houston? 1 4
Simon Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 5 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: No he’s not. This one is newer and shows him where Roy claims Another one I saw also listed him not practicing and as questionable for Week 1
YoloinOhio Posted August 27, 2021 Author Posted August 27, 2021 JMO but no doubt in my mind that McDermott wants Andre Roberts back. 4

I think they already did that be releasing JJ Watt.

It was OurLads from 2 days ago. The team chart looks like it hasn't been updated. CBS was the one that had him listed as injured.

I posted this on another thread a month or so ago - the data to me doesn't seem to justify how Roberts provides value for a spot on the roster. "This data is from last October, but I have always been a bit skeptical of Andre Roberts .. he takes them out all the time and on average we were one of the better teams re: starting field position.. but by just a little bit ( a yard or two). I also think that Josh like most QBs struggle more when backed up .. I would be fine if Mackenzie took a knee every time .. and he has the added advantage of being a real WR. https://thecommutesports.com/2020/10/27/nfl-starting-field-position/ The chart is pretty interesting so I would recommend taking a look". 1
Juice_32 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 That’s fine and dandy, but what do we have to do to get Reggie Ragland back? 1 2
