Sierra Foothills Posted August 25 Posted August 25 One of the little inside jokes here in our community is that when a player with some name recognition becomes available (cut, waived, on the trade market, etc) a topic is inevitable created for that player (i.e. - Mike White). The more jaded among us have denigrated such topics, particularly for players we think/know are washed up by posting "I've heard of him!" This implies that it's only casual, uninformed fans that start such topics and more knowledgable fans would never do so because ("we know") said player is a "has been" or "never was." I figured we can put all these players in the same bucket. There are currently topics for QB Mike White and for disgruntled LB Ernest Jones IV. Here's another one we've all heard of... Denzel Mims... an elite and highly-drafted athlete who became expendable in part because the Jaguars signed Gabriel Davis as a free agent. Mims' measurables are off the chats and hey... I've heard of him!!! https://www.nfl.com/prospects/denzel-mims/32004d49-4d62-4399-5aee-b92ce1fc40e6 Please join the fun... or don't. 1 2 Quote
Wizard Posted August 26 Posted August 26 (edited) I have heard of him! Denzel Sims was among the 5 or so WR's I really liked in his draft class and hoped the Bills would have considered. Because we have heard of him, we must sign him! He has better hands than Scantling and is faster than Coleman. Thus, he must be an unpolished diamond.🤫 Edited August 26 by Wizard 3 Quote

Last year, he couldn't make it off multiple teams' practice squads. 1 Quote
BillsFooteball Posted August 26 Posted August 26 (edited) Why wait for cuts! Players available now? Tannehill easily takes the cake for backup QB. WR? Plenty of chatter on Michael Thomas. Safety? The return of Hyde Edited August 26 by BillsFooteball 1 Quote

Sierra Foothills Posted August 26 Author Posted August 26 "I've heard of Breeland Speaks." Defensive end Breeland Speaks was a 2018 second-round pick by the Chiefs, but his best football has come in spring leagues. He led the USFL in sacks last year and was named the defensive player of the year in the UFL earlier this year. 2 Quote

gonzo1105 Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Out of the names that have surfaced so far, i'd be most interested in Dillon Johnson the RB from Washington who was cut by Carolina for a PS spot. Not advocating for Tommy Sweeney but if they need a 3rd TE there is some familiarity there with him and could see the Bills bringing him in to the PS or 3rd TE spot 1 Quote
