Merriman and Ellison put on IR

[scartown]

Bills promoted Naaman Roosevelt and LB Thomas Williams from the practice squad.

[Uncle Jesse]

Merriman makes 1.7 million for 15 mins of practice. Nice.

[bills4ver]

hum wonder why they would do that? maybe don't want anyone else to see him?

Merriman makes 1.7 million for 15 mins of practice. Nice.Waste money for a chance at a decent player instead of saving money and putting a crappy product on the field? I'll take it.

[OpIv37]

Ellison is still on the team? Who knew?

Ellison is still on the team? Who knew?His contracts up... let his ass go.

Good move putting Ellison on IR. Now the Bills can sign him to a Kelsay like extension in the offseason and keep him fresh for 2011.

[trapezeus]

well the merriman thing played out in the worst possible manner possible. but still it was a good attempt to upgrade the lb core.

it wasn't a waste of money. it was essentially the money they were paying edwards.

[Mahdi]

Wonder if Merriman will be open to signing here. He won't have a ton of suitors so Buffalo might just be the best option for him in terms of starting and money.

[alohabillsfan]

With Merrimans attitude, I dont want him.

[YardRat]

Well it was worth a shot.

[Night Train]

So this Merriman jersey was a waste of :$: ? :down:

I knew he'd never play a down for this team.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

the bills will probably draft 3 maybe 4 34lbs 2 olb/ 2 ilb

[BertSquirtgum]

they probably won't draft 3 linebackers

[The Warrior]

Yay for Naaman Roosevelt getting promoted hopefulyl he catches a few passes in the Steelers game it would be cool to se him do well rest of the year and hopefully next year. :)

[Yasgur's Farm]

Compensatory is all we can hope for.

[Dr. Pepper]

I doubt Roosevelt sees the field on offense this week, if not most of the year. With Evans and Johnson at 1 and 2, and D. Nelson and D. Jones at #3 and #4 WRs, Roosevelt might see time on special teams or possibly returning punts with Spiller being dinged up. But the Bills don't use a pure 5 WR set, usually they have at least one RB on the field when they have the ball.

I'd love to see Roosevelt get some time though. Great story, an UFDA and local product from UB playing for the hometown team.

Yeah.... thats it. :rolleyes:

[Mr. Pink]

Epic signing!

[Mr. Miyagi]

What a con job Merriman is.

[jamze132]

It wouldn't shock me if OBD offered him a nice contract when the FA period opens. Buffalo might be bidding against their selves.
