All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Yep, I don't think he's that highly sought after. He might get a look or two from other teams, but I'm pretty sure that if he didn't clear waivers, he would have to be put onto another team's 53-man squad. That's a risky move for a team to make unless they REALLY don't trust their other receivers. If he can't make the Bills roster, what other team is going to put him on theirs?

PS, if he makes it there. Although there is little in the way of provent talent at WR, there are lots of young talented kids. Obviously Lee Evans is a given, but Steve Johnson, James Hardy, Marcus Easely, and Roscoe Parrish are almost locks to make the team IMO. That's five roster spots taken already. The Bills might not keep any more than that. If they keep six, Chad Jackson is probably the frontrunner. As a former 2nd round pick, he's got blazing speed to go with decent size. If his past failure in the NFL was due to immaturity issues, he may have grown enough to put that behind him, and I think Gailey will give him every chance to prove it. Then there's David Nelson, who has great size and decent speed, and Felton Huggins, who shows every training camp that he might be pretty good if he ever gets a chance. I don't think Huggins will make the 53 man squad, and he may be getting to the point where he's using up his PS eligibility. Even if he is PS eligible, the Bills might be inclined to use a spot for a younger player. Roosevelt's probelm is he doesn't have any outstanding characteristics. He doesn't have great size. He doesn't have great speed. He's not a great route runner versus the guys he's competing against. The one thing he can boast on is his college production. That's worth something, but maybe not enough.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
Naaman, as I hate to say it since he is a St. Joes "grad", was very very good with UB. Just to put it in perspective, he had more yards and touchdowns against Pitt in 2009 than Golden Tate (2nd round pick). This is not to mention that Naaman played on a much, much worse team. Maybe with a proper training program he can become a good 4th/5th receiver some day.
