MAJBobby Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Other offers to me means other offers for PS. Other offers for the 53 NO player would pass that up for PS. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoots8 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 He did well in camp- I could definitely see his name called up a few times. Hope he makes the best of his opportunities and can be productive. Glad to see he stayed with us 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the other offers were from lousy teams and he thinks there's a decent chance the Bills will call him up to the 53. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I’ve wanted him in Buffalo for like 3 years, so happy he’ll stick around for now and maybe get a shot later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabella and/or the other PS WR could be getting called up early to fill in for Shorter for the next 4 or 5 games. With all the new PS rules these guys importance has risen. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 With Shorter injured I could see Isabella getting a lot of call ups early in the season. Probably a big reason he wanted to stay in Buffalo to showcase himself early in season in hopes someone signs him to their 53. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 5 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Other offers to me means other offers for PS. Other offers for the 53 NO player would pass that up for PS. Well, players have in the past. Back when the Bills were a bad team, it happened actually that we would try to sign players off another team's PS and they would say "no thanks, I'm Good". The other reason is if a guy is offered to the 53 as strictly an injury replacement, and the team will cut him in 4 weeks when the injured player returns. Isabella, as a 2nd round pick, made some $ his first 3 years in the league and if he was prudent with it, can afford to "bet on himself" and try to refresh his career, by staying where he thinks he's got the best chance of that even if it means less $$. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it as not having an irrational attachment, rather as a player who showed flashes of playmaking ability that might help the Bills win games.

BuffaloBill Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Very good move for the Bills. I think he will see the field and 53 as a role player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong -- I like Andy Isabella and I predicted and hoped the Bills would add him to the practice squad. But if you follow Bills football, you can't help but notice there's an "Andy Isabella" every year. Drew Hadaad, Martin Nance, Da'Rick Rodgers, Namaan Roosevelt...the list goes on and on. Find someone that loves you the way Bills fans love bottom-of-the-roster preseason darling WRs. Edited August 30, 2023 by Logic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there's always an unknown WR or 2 that flashes in the preseason that gets the fans on this board excited, then they're never heard from again. It happens on other teams too. I don't know why, but I suspect that it's just easy to get open against 3rd and 4th string DB in preseason games and make a lot of catches, but not so easy against 1st and 2s. That said, this situation is slightly different. Isabella was a high draft pick, has played in the league for a few years, and has exceptional speed. Most of the preseason darling WRs are unknown UDFAs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
