Buffalo Bills 2020 Thread

[NateW]

I don't think Buffalo has a choice to be honest. Were already down Starr on the DL and apparently the young DE from Iowa is having some struggles (which is to be expected obviously). Think at this point we have to roll with him.

Hadn’t heard about the rooks struggles

What’s ur guy’s opinion on keeping Murphy? I’d like to see him on the squad personally.

Murphy actually played really well once healthy, second half of last year.

If we think we can extend White and re-sign Milano, without rolling over Murphy’s $$$, then I’d definitely keep him. If not, I’d be pretty tempted to hope Darryl Johnson & AJ Epenesa are up to the task.

Ya I like Duke a lot but unless were going 7 deep at WR were going to have to make some tough choices. Clearly Buffalo saw something in Hodgins to draft him so unless he has been a mess I would think you have to keep him over some of the other fringe guys. You also have to wonder if Buffalo keeps an extra WR knowing full well the Jets and Pats are desperate for WR health and would love to get their hands on Foster or Mackenzie or Hodgins. Some tough decisions ahead.

Reporters have had good things to say about Hodgins. He’s never going to be a big separation guy, but he is huge, and catches everything. I think I read that he had the best hands in the entire draft class.

I just ask myself this... would Hodgins be more likely to catch the TD throw in the Texans game before half...the one Duke couldn’t come down with?... if so, I’m prioritizing him over Duke on the 53 or PS.

I believe he had the highest contested catch percentage in the draft class (though contested catches are always a small sample size).

I don't really see the point in cutting him unless they think there's someone they can sign that would be a better use of the cap. He's a solid player.

We can roll over his unused cap to next year.

I think that’s the decision to be had, given the cap uncertainty in 2021.

Bills begin to cut roster: Release LBs, place DiMarco on IR

Bills also activate TE Tommy Sweeney, which should mean he's set to make 53-man roster.

I’d much prefer keeping Johnson over Murphy

I read a tweet from Rapoport which stated that the Bills are shopping Foster.

Damn, Antonio Williams had a good run.

What was that about? A one year deal with Adrian Peterson?

Nah haha, truly don't know what the deal was with Williams but I would be shocked if Buffalo signs Peterson. We already have two starting caliber RBs IMO and the real need would hypothetically be a 3rd down guy which Peterson absolutely is not.

I would love to bring in Dare who was just let go by Tampa for that but I think he'll have plenty of interest.

I agree. Maybe they're hoping he clears waivers so they can stash him on the PS.

Wow Roberts cut along with Duke and Foster

Huh odd

Vested veterans can easily be brought back because they don't have to clear waivers. So a move like this can create an initial spot for the Bills before sliding a player to short-term IR.

Sounds like Feliciano to IR/PUP and cutting Fromm after Davis Webb clears waivers and is put back on PS... must want to be sure they have at least one of their camp QB’s as a 3rd. I’m sure Fromm will be PS’d if he clears waivers as well.

Definitely want Fromm on the PS

A rookie QB coming in fresh to a new team seems possible but unlikely, especially for any team only carrying 2 QBs. Then add Fromm's offseason "issue" and I think he'll end up on the PS.
