Must really like what they see out of Frank Gore Jr..

 

 

Hard to tell.  They could sign him to the ps and release fire tomorrow. The only way to get him to pa is to first waive him.   Personally I like Evans better by a lot.  

Man this thread show how people don’t know how IR works

My dream.  But this move would have zero relevance

It’s a thread because this opens a spot for a trade

 

It doesn’t open a spot.  He was never on the roster.  They have an open spot from Carter going on IR and that is for Von.

 

Evans was in his IR windows and had to either be activated and put on the roster or cut.

Well that was a waste of an IR designated to return spot….

 

The Bills can return up to 7 players from IR.  They get a 21 day evaluation window where a player on IR can practice with the team, if they decide to not to activate a guy from IR during or after that window, I don't believe it uses up one of their 7 slots.

That decision to return from the three yard line vs Hawks was brutal. He was clearly pressing for his spot.

To your 1st point, it's quite simple--- we knew that our identity to start the year would be running and utilizing our RBs.

 

We had a rookie RB in Davis, no guarantee that he'd pan out.  Also no guarantee that our Top 3 RBs would be mostly healthy at this juncture.

 

Basic insurance policy.

 

Maybe. I just think you can find Evans level insurance policies on the street even at this point of the season. I mean we did with Ty Johnson last year and he ended up ahead of Evans (who had all the same benefits he had this year of being in camp with the team etc) on the depth chart.

It depends on when he was put on IR. The new rule this year is that they can be put on IR the last day of cuts with a designated to return designation. It immediately counts as one of the 7 even if they don't activate.

 

I think Evans was one of them but really not so sure I'm correct on that. Milano absolutely was. I remember that this was something Joe Marino said on one of his podcasts just before cut down day. If they do this with Milano then they expect him to return at some point this season.

 

If they had put him on IR after final cuts then you are correct, he doesn't count as one of the 7 if they don't activate him.

Bye- Bye.  The Bills are deep at RB and Gore showed in is limited time that he can play in the NFL.  No need to keep Evans.  Better to give him an opportunity elsewhere.

 
Daboll & Schonn paying attention?

This thread is proof we're getting bored with winning. Who do we play this week?

[Sweats]

There is a lot of buzz on social media yesterday and this morning that the Bills are close to getting something done.......no one has any idea what's going on and its only speculation, but where there's smoke, there's fire.

 

Stay tuned, Bills fans......this could be huge

(speculation only)

Great, but once again - the move of cutting Evans has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

 

He was NOT ON THE ROSTER - so his getting released did not open up a spot and has absolutely nothing at all to do with any rumors.

 

He got better - they activated him and if anything had happened to other RBs  he would have been promoted and since nothing happened - they let the time expire and cut him from the IR slot and will work to re-sign him in a couple of week to the PS if there is an opening.

 

I think a lot of the buzz was created by internet morons that thought this move symbolized the Bills opening a spot to make a move and not having a clue it did not do that.

 

If the Bills make a move - it will not be because they released Evans.  The Bills have an open spot since putting Carter on IR (they played 1 roster spot short on Sunday) because they needed a spot for Von this week and it save them some money and having to promote and cut a PS player.

I'll bet you're a lot of fun at parties.........people are just speculating and playing out different scenarios to take their minds off their dull disinteresting lives......don't take that away from them.

No room to keep 4 active RBs on the 53, I'd welcome him back to the PS.

I wouldn't get all excited about a move coming. Bills had to decide on Evans today, so it was either activate him or cut him. Easy choice was to cut him and, hopefully, stash him on the PS.

 

There will be an accompanying move, but it will probably be someone moving up from the PS, not a big trade. (Though still keeping my eye out for one)

 

Spot is for Von.  They have 7 days to make the move. Right now he doesnt count.  If he plays Sunday like most expect he is 53.

he posted himself in dolphins gear right at the time he was released. i just noticed it. his story on instagram has it approx. 19 hours ago.
