Dolphins could release Calais Campbell to play for contender.

He would not be subject to waivers as he is a vested veteran with 4+ seasons.  
 

He would be a free agent 

LOL where did you see that?  Baltimore weather isn’t much better

I’m assuming you don’t live in either Buffalo or Baltimore.

No he would not...he is a vested vet with more than 4 years(I think it's 4 years) and those players are not subject to waivers.

I’m not sure , lol. Just thought I had seen that not long ago. Maybe I’m thinking of a different FA the Bills were interested in 

 

All players must go through waivers after the trade deadline, even vested veterans.

Have you watched him this season?  He’s playing great.  Plus it would be a 5 game rent-a-player. Totally worth it

Ok

[gonzo1105]

Would be a really good add but I think if this happened he’s be going back to Baltimore

Still, claim him and block him from another contender.

Very much this. Which is why I can't imagine someone ahead of us in the order blocking us as well.

Negative, ghost rider, the pattern is full 

After the trade deadline all players go to waivers.

If we could sign him cheaply absolutely but we would paying him as a very short term rental. 

[Matt_In_NH]

Ravens would be obvious.  Lions have  big need.  I would love the bills to sign him but I don’t see it happening.  

[buffalo2218]

Idk if this is right or not, but didn't Campbell play in Baltimore before?

[SCBills]

Do we know if he’s subject to waivers?

 

See conflicting info, but if he is… this seems pointless.

 

Hes not getting past the Ravens.  They tried to get him at the deadline.

he would be subject to have to go through the waiver wire.

 

The idea is that non-playoff teams would respect his wishes and not claim him.

 

 

[Doc Brown]

Rams should put a claim in for him.  Would he say no to playing in LA?

[Chaos]

Would he be able to learn the Bills system before the season ended?

This off-season he had less focus on contract/money than catching on with a true contender.

 

He decided to sign with the Dolphins.

 

So to answer your question…..there is a pretty good chance he lacks a complete set of analytical skills.

Would he?  I thought it was less than 4 years accrued you are subject.  Or am I thinking the opposite?

 

 

You're correct prior to the trade deadline, but after the trade deadline all players (veteran or not) must go through waivers

Even still, of the 14 will be Playoff teams - we're currently 10th in Priority. Meaning as it stands right now, 9 Different Playoff Teams could put in a claim and get him before we would. And it's possible with our schedule down the stretch that we could fall further down the waiver priority.

Honestly, it’s pure BS that a player can be released to join any team at this stage.

Madden settings!!

Wow. This is a really bad thread, quality-wise. The worst I've seen it here. Reading through all four pages, there are redundant posts by different posters on all all four pages asking the same questions and giving the same correct and incorrect answers to these questions. What is four pages could just be one page if people just read through everything before posting.

I get it, but it is also BS

 

The NFLPA agreed to the rules for all of the players. They can't let a single player bully the rules.
