Rochester's Jackson to get a shot at Bills roster Friday night
[Democrat and Chronicle] Rochester's Maurice Jackson finally will get a chance to show his stuff to the Buffalo Bills Friday night. Bills coach Gregg Williams said Williams, an undrafted free agent out of Marshall High and Syracuse, will be on the kickoff team in the second half against the Minnesota Vikings. Jackson did not see any time last week against Cincinnati.

Is there any chance of him making the team? I personally don't see any way with the depth we have at receiver. There's probably not even enough room to keep him for special teams because we don't want to keep 7 WRs.

Same thing happened with Drew Haddad outa of Buffalo. He was a popularity pick and never made the team. Too bad, he broke a kickoff for a TD for the colts!

He's got practice squad written all over him.

Drew Haddad made the Colts team last season as a receiver/returner after returning two punts for touchdowns during the preseason, he was placed on injured reserve early last season.

I was upset when the Bills lost him.

Practice squad at best...WR is one of the Bills strengths.

Jackson will be on the practice squad this year, on the roster next year when we lose Peerless. I think Peerless is going to have a fantastic season (supposedly he is Bledsoe's favorite target in camp) and there will be no way we can afford him next year.

I think we'll be able to afford Price if we want him. We should be well under the cap next year. Whether we want to pay him is another question altogether.

I don't see Peerless sticking around past this season. I'll have to see what this Jackson kid can do tomorrow night

is the game tommorrow telivised

[casdhf]

I dont think so, which sucks

[The_Philster]

it is in Minnesota

[TigerJ]

I think the Bills might try to find room on the practice squad for Jackson, given his extreme speed. Who knows what next year will bring.

Actually, I was talking about what it was televised.

If Price ends up being Bledsoe's favourite target for this season, which seems possible, how can we afford not to bring him back? After giving up as much as we did for Bledsoe, it would make no sense to start taking away his top receiver.
Also, if Price leaves after being Bledsoe's top target, I don't know if Reed can be the guy to take over for him. Price and Reed play entirely different games so its unlikely Bledsoe would like to replace his favourite receiver with someone who plays entirely different.
This discussion is based on the fact that Price will be his favourite receiver however, if Price isn't used overly often then I can understand letting Price go.
