Rhodes signed to 53, Benford to IR

[Process]

Addition by subtraction here probably

IR for an oblique?

[HappyDays]

I'm positive we are hiding Benford on IR to sign the better player to the active roster. Great move.

[Dick_Cheney]

Oh thank god!

 

It was either this or signing a firefighter because of how often he was getting burned.

I view this as more the Bills wanted a vet in place of a rookie down the stretch and are using IR as a way to accomplish it.

Sucks for Benford. I really hope Rhodes has something left in the tank.

I doubt it’s part of the reasoning but at least it allows them to get a better look at Rhodes to see if we’re better off with he or Benford as depth come playoffs.

He has looked better than Benford lately.

I view it as they want a vet presence back there because Benford has Ben making too many rookie mistakes.

Benford will be a starting caliber safety one day.

Jackson too, according to Romo. A star even.

I’d take my chances with Elam and Rhodes at this point over Dane Jackson. And I was a big Dane Jackson fan up until 3 weeks ago. They are going to start calling him Dane Cook’d soon if you don’t get him off the field

Room was hitting the gravy early.

Stash Benford on IR with White/Elam/Dane/Rhodes on the active roster. Could keep him there all year if they choose. In fact, they very well might.

I wonder if Rhodes or another team was pushing the issue.

This was a blizzare statement 

[boyst]

Rhodes to active roster as a backup to Tre, Elam and Jackson rotational situational play.

 

 

[BBills_88]

I'm still a Jackson & Benford fan and believ they will be key contributors for the Bills. 

 

All our DB's need work locating & breaking up balls. They are always in position but they do not finish. 

[WotAGuy]

Can we stash Jackson on IR too?

[Bob in STL]

 

Some fans here just can't be happy.  Success has brought expectations to completely unrealistic levels.  

 

Not too many 6th round rookie CBs are going to get the job done as a starter, especially with the schedule we played.   

 

Lets not forget that with Tre out Benford started the year as the #2 CB, he was ahead of Elam.  Everyone here liked him for awhile, then the pass rush went from great to ok, and now he and all of our CBs look average at best - which is exactly what they are. 

 

 

He is a promising player and he might project better as a safety.

Benford has already outperformed his draft status. I hope the kid heals up soon and continues to grow and contribute where the coaches see fit.
