Baker to Vikings, King to Titans, Burns gone...

[Ickybaluky]

Update on Bills cuts:

- Rashad Baker was claimed off waivers by the Minnesota Vikings.

- Eric King was claimed off waivers by the TennesseeTitans

- Joe Burns was released after reaching an injury settlement with the Bills. The Bills placed Burns on IR as a procedural move, but he was officially released after the injury settlement was negotiated. Burns can sign with another NFL team, assuming he can pass a physical. The Bills can't re-sign Burns until after week 10.

Was it worse than a bruised forearm?

[patmoran2006]

Baker will contribute to Minnesota.. Good pickup for them.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Why doesn't Minnesota just make an agreement to become our farm team?

[Tinboy]

Baker can't belived they released him. Good Luck in Minnesota!

[PIZ]

I think Martin Nance signed to Minnesota's practice squad.

[RedEyE]

Gates signed to Bucs practice Squad.

[Mr. Miyagi]

So many of our cut guys are being signed elsewhere, how come we haven't signed anyone from other teams' cuts?

[THATHURMANATOR]

We don't need them.

[OpIv37]

We don't need them.

I find it hard to believe that a 5-11 team doesn't need our cuts or anyone else's cuts, while the rest of the league seems to think our cuts are worth grabbing.

[THATHURMANATOR]

You shouldnt.

[OpIv37]

You shouldnt.

why not? It's a legitimate question as to why the rest of the league thinks our cuts are so valuable, while our coaches not only think those guys were expendable but think we don't need anyone else. Seems odd.

[THATHURMANATOR]

It makes perfect sense.

this means Jauron did it right. He kept the better ones that were part of all the competition. We have depth in other words.

What makes you so sure that this team is so deep and that Jauron didn't cut guys that were better than the ones we kept?

they are showing confidence in the Players selected for the final 53, building a young teams confidence could be deystroyed if you bring in 2-5 players cut from other teams shows them that you just believe in them and players getting signed that got cut lets coaches say look we are more talented than sportswriters and message board posters give us credit for

What makes you feel that the team isn't deep?

[OpIv37]

what makes you think he didn't?

the fact that other teams found our cuts to be such high quality- this was a 5-11 team last year and depth was clearly not our forte. We don't have any proof either way, but the way the rest of the league felt about our cuts should certainly create some doubt.

[OpIv37]

for starters, 5-11 last year.

[THATHURMANATOR]

The Bills have bigtime depth! I can't wait!

[OpIv37]

at defensive back. As far as the rest of the team, I don't see any depth at all.

[justasportsfan]

I don't see any depth at all.
you're blind.

PLAYOFFS !!!!!!!!!!!

Are you blind?

[OpIv37]

you two are both certifiably insane.

[THATHURMANATOR]

No we are just realistic, unlike yourself.

[justasportsfan]

we're just being realistic.

LIES!

I think we're deep talent-wise, but not necessarily experience-wise, at several positions. And I truly believe there's a difference. We may have to bite the inexperience bullet to some extent this year, but I think it will be worth it in the very near future.

[justasportsfan]

you don't need an address to PM someone and you know that.

LIES!I was being sarcastic but it went swoosh. :rolleyes:

[TigerJ]

I think it says something positive about the Bills' increasing level of talent that so many of our cuts are finding their way onto the rosters of other teams.

[Michael82]

i think that if Bowen wasn't injured all preseason, Wire would have been cut and Baker would have stayed. :sigh:

I hated cutting him. :mad:

You need to change your name to Eyeore. I'm sure if you look closely you'll see not every cloud in the sky is a rain cloud.
