Per source, Isaiah Hodgins will be joining the #Bills’ practice squad. #BillsMafia

 

Probably the first wr called up to the team in the event of injury.

Funny guys like Blackshear and Hodgins are the guys many wanted on the roster. McCloud, Tenuta, and Owen people hated and they are the ones that get signed. 

 

Shows you position value more than anything.

Sort of like OJ and AC?

 

I wonder if Reggie McKenzie was glad that he was no longer OJ's "Main Man."

How do you feel about Mike Like?

There's a moral in that story somewhere.

We've got to be the only fanbase in the NFL with a 4 page thread about practice squad players 😅. That's what makes us great though

Bring back...that Love'in feeling....whoa that lovin' feelin'.....

You’ve lost that loving feeling and now it’s gone… Gone… Gone… Whoa

7 jets were claimed off waivers. The jets claimed zero. If I'm not mistaken, the jets have less cap space than buffalo this year and next. Starting to think Douglas is incompetent

Which considering our roster is frankly insane.

Keeping Blackshear and Hodgins is a big win.  Giles-Harris looked really good to me as well.

Makes sense if he couldn’t get on a roster. There will be injuries at WR for the Bills.

A quick rundown of former Bills now on other teams the last 2 years.

- DE Darryl Johnson traded to Carolina for a 6th rd pick.  Bills used this pick on Christian Benford.  Panthers released him yesterday.  Claimed by Seahawks.

- released G Jack Anderson.  Signed to Bills PS.  Eagles grabbed him.  Eagles released him yesterday.  Claimed by Giants

- released Rachad Wildgoose.  Signed to Bills PS.  Jets grabbed him.  Jets released him yesterday.  Claimed by Washington

- traded G Cody Ford to Arizona for 2023 5th rd pick.

- released TE OJ Howard.  Looks like he's signing with Bengals

- released DB Nick McCloud.  Claimed by Giants

- released OT Luke Tenuta.  Claimed by Indy

- released OL Tanner Owen.  Claimed by Saints

- released DE Kingsley Jonathan.  Claimed by Bears

 

Just crazy the number of players who can't make Bills roster but end up somewhere else.

 

 

McCloud was someone I thought would make the 53 yesterday.  Sad to see him go.

Keeping Love over Jonathan is a wash.

Tanner Owen was not impressive from what I seen.  Same with Tenuta.

 

Like I said in my earlier post, Beane needs to look for TEs, DBs and OL (Mancz signed) only for the PS.

It's because we are better than the rest.

I think a reality check is in order. They are Practice Squad players who weren't signed to 31 other active rosters. Glad they're sticking around but it's hardly a "big win".

I'll think Blackshear has a chance to make the team next year when Singletarry is probably gone until we inevitably draft another RB in the middle rounds.

Agreed 100%.  MA and Howard were rough, but I think everything else went as well as it could from preseason on. 
 

If we can land Martin, we are in good shape.  
 

Right now, the only real question mark I have is how well Elam is going to be out the gate.  Hopefully his learning curve is quick and can hold his own.  Week 1 is going to be a test

McCloud was likely the last guy cut.  Between him and Cam Lewis. 

Morris and Sweeney made the 53 in large part because they were likely to lose them if cut imo.  Morris might turn into a nice player.  Sweeney is JAG.

Running backs and wide receivers are a dime-a-dozen.

Maybe, maybe not. I was pulling for him because it would be a cool story and my older son is a VA Tech grad. But every year Bills fans get weirdly attached to fringe roster guys, RBs in particular.
