Players in the Recent Past & Present That You Felt Didn't Deserve a Roster Spot .

[Blazman11]

Too strong to say he never deserved a roster spot but Aaron Schobel was never someone I was a fan of. Always touted by the announcers as a big time pass rusher and I would never see him show up when needed. Anecdotally his sacks seem to always come in garbage time.

On a team full of players that were mediocre at best, an average/good player was kind of a big deal.

Brain Dead Drew Bledsoe

OT Mike "Puddinhead' Williams

Big Bad Bennie &

Tiny Tim

After the first season in Buffalo, it seemed like:
Drew 'Frank N. Stein' Bledsoe.

Drew 'ankles and knees of stone' Bledsoe.

Absolutely. I came back to edit my post to add Sweeney. At least he didn’t rob the Bills while doing nothing like Kroft did. I’d add him too. 

 

I have mixed feelings with Kroft, when they actually threw to him he caught the balls, but TEs are notoriously underutilized in our offensive game plans as downfield targets.

 

Even Knox we should be trying to use a lot more to move the chains, but Allen's focus tends to lean towards his WRs.

Jordan Gay. Kickoff specialist. That one always bothered me. Nothing against him personally, but a roster spot for a kickoff specialist?

[Big Turk]

Aaron Maybin.

apparently the Bills thought Lil Dirty was overpaid as well considering they just cut him.

Listening to Beane's pressor, 2 things seemed likely

 

1. the were never going to re-sign Edmunds.  When they didn't last year (for likely much less than 18 per), that was basically it.  He said the 18 million average was too much this year... 

 

2. McKenzie is gone.

[NewEra]

Did anyone say Cam Lewis yet?  
 

He gets my vote

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

Chris Kelsay… dude just epitomized the Bills of that era.  I think I was more shocked when they re-upped Kelsay than when the team signed T.O. or “Super Mario”.

 

Re-signing Kelsay was just waiving the white flag saying to the fans “we’re fine with 7-9, and you should be too”… I believe this was also around the time of the mega free agent splash that captivated the football world known as Derrick Dockery, another strong candidate for this list.

Demetrus Bell...or did he change his name to something else?  One of those "project" guys that was given every chance in the world and never did squat.

Geez, what a s#itty topic

My answer is Tommy Sweeney every day of the week. What exactly has he ever contributed to the team outside of being friends with Josh Allen and Dawson Knox? I feel like the only time we ever see him lately is if he’s sitting at a Sabres game with the guys who actually play a role on the team.

 That play against the Pats where he took a classic and perfect Allen to Diggs bomb off the books says it all.

McKenzie has made 5.9 million over 5 seasons with the Bills. In 2023, he would account for under 8% of the total WR annual salary for the team. For that money last year, he accounted for 20% of the TDs scored by WRs, 24% of targets and 19% of catches.

 

That's "extremely overpaid"?

He also created 30 first downs last season

#1  The Andre Smith roster spot.  May as well have put a fan on the roster. 

 

#2  Never have understood this team's fascination with Taiwan Jones.

Mark anderson! 4 years 20 million.  He played what 5 games?

 

Merriman... 2 seasons... 2 sacks.

Seems like a nice guy, but he didn't want to be a good football player.  

[Kaenon]

I'm more of a fan of positive topics.

[CSBill]

There is only one best answer to this question: TAIWAN JONES.

The problem is you did that facts thing. This is a thread for feelings. And boy do we have a lot of feelings around here.

No. They though they had upgraded. That is different.
