stevestojan Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Sorry if i am wrong here, or if this same idea has been posted, but i believe Everett wasn't signed yet, nor did he sign with the NFLPA, thus we could just cut him. How much does that free up with what we would have potentially paid him? Are we forced to now get another TE right away? Sorry, been working my ass off and only get "Schopp and the Bullfrog" on my way home to tide me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's a race horse that has to be put down! He'll get signed to a contract and probably be placed on IR. I don't see this as being much different than WM's "rehab year" after he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This club seldom considered a TE as anything but an ocassional reciever - Jay Riesmersma and Ernie Warlick being the only non-goal line exceptions I can think of. Why they drafted what they don't use is a mystery in the first place...I think that picking him was the result of a GM who believes wholeheatedly in the "value" pick concept of player acquisitions - regardless if it addresses a need or shores up an existing strength for the future.

I think we should just skip the TE position...sign more 5' 3", 130Lb receivers and be done with it..maybe we can get roster exemptions for players below a certain height and weight....

You got this from Mularkey's rookie season as HC where he had a rookie (Euhus) still learning the ropes and another guy who wasn't looked-to too much by Bledsoe?

Sound_n_Fury Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 John Clayton's reporting that the Bills might look to add a veteran like Marcellus Rivers or Fred Baxter before camp.

I prefer Rivers as he's younger and can contribute on special teams if he needs to be moved further down the depth chart if/when Campbell/Euhus are healthy enough to contribute full time.

Everett has that potential to be that te that difference maker from the te position that is so prevelant in the nfl today. I have no basis for this other than his 4.60 40, and the fact some scouts have compared him to SD'S Antonio Gates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BackInDaDay Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 No. From watching the Bills since 1960. 326134[/snapback] Where's that kid from ND, Paul Seymour ? Actually Cincy, I think Mularkey and Clement were licking their chops in anticipation of getting an athlete like Everett down the seam against cover-2s. Oh well, life as a Bill's fan...
