And if they don't find one better than Hollister, they'll bring him back? Seems cold hearted, but we are talking about the NFL here. Expand I doubt it as it damages his reputation with future free agents (and current players) if he reneges on a handshake agreement.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 On 9/1/2021 at 5:45 AM, BornAgainBillsFan said: Could it be that Beane & Co are checking out the new list of available TEs, like a certain one from eastern PA (if the Eagles choose to cut him loose)?

Expand So there are two situations: 1) Hollister is released because the Bills have concluded he isn't enough of an upgrade, and they're either working on a trade for a TE or scouring the cutout bins for someone plausibly better (if they don't find someone AND Hollister is still out there they could re-sign him) 2) Hollister was released as a roster move with a veteran not subject to waivers, in order to bring an injured player onto the 53 so he can return from IR later in the season. The Bills have a "handshake agreement" to re-sign him with a little "extra" for his trouble after this. Either is plausible But if we promised 2) we shouldn't be doing 1) 2
machine gun kelly Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I’ll wait til 5 pm until I make any assumptions. Back to work.
Virgil Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Beane made comments that he expects Hollister to sign with another team. I just don’t get it. 2
The Dean Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Color me officially confused. I figured bringing Hollister back was a foregone conclusion. Now they say they do not have that agreement. So, what's the plan? Sweeny is hurt (seemingly always). So Knox can't be the only TE available (yes, I know they can use the FB in a pinch). So they either have their eye on someone in a trade, or as a pickup, is the only thing I can imagine. I STILL believe they may bring back Hollister, just because I'm stubborn.🤪 1 2
Coach Tuesday Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 They took a bad TE room, subtracted Tyler Kroft and Lee Smith, and added no one. Brilliant.

unbillievable Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Can any of the Olinemen catch? Just from their size, Brown and Doyle could be very effective TE-hybrids.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Hope Hollister chooses to return to PS if we want him to. Imagine we/he would.
Scott7975 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I really don't understand this move. I mean Hollister isn't a world beater or anything but all we have is Mr. Dropknox and a guy that is always injured. That has got to be the weakest group in the league.
