A blind man could see that OK, will give you credit for clever name! Webb was given very little to work with against Green Bay. Even Chi game, he didn't get much PT except with scrubs in the game. 1st game against Lions Webb out-preformed. I think there's also a very good chance the Bills feel they know what they have in Webb so didn't even bother giving him any meaningful snaps past two games. Also may be they want him on their PS so don't give him anything to generate interest from other teams. With Fromm may have been they felt, give the kid a chance and showcase him to other teams, thanks him a bit for what he dealt with last season. 1 hour ago, Augie said: I must say, I prefer the old days of gradual cut downs, but at least we have a two week break.

(Beane After Dark) to get going F5 But since you asked: https://thesaltymarshmallow.com/thai-peanut-ramen-noodles/ I like some lime juice in it. I don't care for the added sugar. And IMHO it's important to use PB that's just peanuts and salt. 1

I wonder if they could make him assistant QBs coach and then if he’s needed they could activate him? They probably have rules against it, like needing to announce retirement or something. 1

He was drafted in the fifth round. By all reports he does not have a NFL caliber arm. A seventh? At best he is a 3rd string QB. I'd have no issue giving up a 7th round pick for a QB project. Not sure I would go much higher than that and I would instead take my chnaces he gets released.

He would just have to sign anywhere. He’ll be a coach of that I’m certain. But while he still can “play” it makes way more sense for HIM to be on a team as a player in any capacity. 1

They probably have rules against it, like needing to announce retirement or something. The NFL has rules against this to prevent teams from hiding players. Denver wanted to activate the QB quality control coach last year when all the QBs were placed on COVID and the NFL wouldn’t allow it. There was a nice article about it - I will try to find it - but basically it was done in the past as a way to pay players and not lose them, but keep them on the team and the NFL banned it. Edit: https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/?p=651317 Not the original article, but mentions the rule in here. Edited August 31, 2021 by Rochesterfan 2
