is roscoe done as a bill?

[trapezeus]

with two TE's playing well, Roscoe's need in the middle is even less needed. Do you think that was the last of Roscoe Parrish as a bill? Does he have more years on his contract? curious.

[psubills62]

This is the last year on his contract. There were rumors the Bills were talking extension. Honestly, they may still extend him, but I'd expect fairly low numbers and playing time incentives if they did.

Right now I expect him to find another home next year. The Bills seem pretty confident in their ability to find receivers either late in the draft or as UDFA's.

[Bulldog]

Screw extending him. He can't stay healthy. I expect him to be placed on IR today. Who takes his spot on the roster?

[mrbojanglezs]

Sign Donnie Avery. Put Roscoe on IR
cut Martin bring up Aiken or Roosevelt

[mrbojanglezs]

Do u have a link where it says he is IRed you said Blo news is reporting it. I haven't heard that

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Not IR'd yet, but...

Parrish's ankle injury may have ended his season
by Jay Skurski


The hard luck of Roscoe Parrish continues.

The Buffalo Bills' diminutive wide receiver is dealing with a left ankle injury suffered in Sunday's 38-35 victory over the Oakland Raiders.

Bills coach Chan Gailey said Monday the injury is "more long term than short term, unfortunately."

Gailey said Parrish would undergo more tests later this week to determine the exact severity of the injury, but there's a distinct possibility it's season ending.

Take it for what its worth but rotoworld says he will probably be put on IR.

[bf1]

I liked him for his potential, but he never materialized.

[ChristopherWalken]

I loved him as an above average punt returner but he was always a mediocre WR with below average resiliency.

Time to part ways.

[Das_Bills]

I have been thinking about this also. I think he is done as a bill because he is getting hurt way to much and becoming a liability to keep him.

[Night Train]

He's on the decades All-Whirlpool team.

Congrats Roscoe.

[Oaf]

No new news here, wait till Thurs or so when the tests get back.

[BertSquirtgum]

time to cut ties with this waste product. he is way too small for the nfl.

[Crisis]

Hopefully Ruvell Martin is gone too... I'd much rather have Aiken+Roosevelt on the roster than Parrish+Martin

[Meathead]

put a little tiny appetizer fork in 'em, roscoe is done as a bill

[Historian]

Bring back Roosevelt.

[Homegrown]

Bring back James Hardy ... wait!! ..what???

[DraftBoy]

Sign Donnie Avery. Put Roscoe on IR
cut Martin bring up Aiken or Roosevelt

You don't cut Martin, he offers too much in terms of ST ability.

[Crisis]

Isn't he the one who blew his assignment on the blocked fg?

[alohabillsfan]

Isn't he the one who blew his assignment on the blocked fg?

Yes he was.

He will be missed as a punt returner.

[DraftBoy]

Isn't he the one who blew his assignment on the blocked fg?

Don't recall. Could be, his blocking is not why he's on the team. He is considered to be a top level kickoff coverage man.

Neither Aiken or Roosevelt can fill that role.

Jay Skurski wrote about him being a good ST player when he was signed.

[TigerJ]

Being IRed in a contract year does not bode well for him continuing as a Bill. I would not be surprised if he's done, but it will depend on what the disparity is between what the Bills think he's worth and what his agent thinks he's worth. I'd say the odds are he's gone.

[Jan Reimers]

If the Bills can dump Lee Evans like yesterday's garbage, they should certainly be able to part with Parrish, who is barely 10% of the player Lee was.

[X-Era]

I'd be fine if they let him walk and replaced him from the draft or with a guy like Eddie Royal.

[psubills62]

https://twitter.com/espn_afceast/status/116222651206336512

Reportedly done for the season.

I don't know what the guy did, but it didn't look that bad. I think Roscoe would find a way to get injured using a cotton ball.

[Bill Cody]

I'd be fine if they let him walk

He can't walk. Bad ankle. Try to keep up.

[TheBrownBear]

Isn't he the one who blew his assignment on the blocked fg?

That was David Martin who missed the block, not Ruvell Martin. Ruvell Martin was the guy that kept dropping the short slants.

[Mad Bomber]

Roscoe was a great punt returner, but he is more fragile than a porcelain doll. Couldn't stay healthy. As much as I loved the guy, we need someone who can actually stay healthy and be a consistent contributor on the team.

[jimbohastle51]

if roosevelt has the season we know he can then i believe so. not only is he cheaper but he has great hands can return punts and kicks as roscoe did and is bigger and has time in the system. looks like roosevelt and nelson will be the inside guys in the 4 and 5 wide sets.

[X-Era]

Eddie Royal s a UFA after this year, returns punts, kicks, and can be a real play maker. I'd try to sign a guy like that after the season

Yesterday's garbage has a bad ankle too in case you're scoring at home.

[Billsfan3]

yes roscoe is reportedly out for season

Eddie Royal is exactly like Roscoe ALWAYS hurt. Hes already missing games as well.

[X-Era]

Eddie Royal is exactly like Roscoe ALWAYS hurt. Hes already missing games as well.Royal is much less injured than Parrish. He had hip surgery in the off-season and is currently injured. Parrish is constantly injured every year.

[better days]

Well if Evans were garbage, I DOUBT the Ravens would continue to play him despite his BAD ANKLE.

[Philagape]

If the Bills can dump Lee Evans like yesterday's garbage, they should certainly be able to part with Parrish, who is barely 10% of the player Lee was.

Parrish was more productive in this offense, as shown last year.

That said, the Bills scored five straight TDs in a half without either of them, so they're both yesterday's garbage.

[TacklingDummy]

Sign TO

[YardRat]

Don't recall. Could be, his blocking is not why he's on the team. He is considered to be a top level kickoff coverage man.

Jay Skurski wrote about him being a good ST player when he was signed.

You keep repeating that, but I have yet to see it...plus he's liability in the passing game. I'd also cut Martin and elevate Aiken.

Roscoe is done...I'm tired of paying somebody to recover for half of his career. Welcome to the NFL, hopefully for a longer stay, Naaman Roosevelt.

[CAbills]

Royal is much less injured than Parrish. He had hip surgery in the off-season and is currently injured. Parrish is constantly injured every year.

He has played 4 less years? He is well on the Parrish pace, I dont want a younger injury prone receiver.

[X-Era]

He has played 4 less years? He is well on the Parrish pace, I dont want a younger injury prone receiver.OK. Let's move on to the draft then. I think a mid-round pick for a guy like Marquis Maze, or Chris Rainey may be a good move. Possibly T.Y. Hilton from Florida International. Each can return, looks like a possible slot option and has speed.

[Crisis]

Isn't Chris Rainey just an even smaller Spiller?

[X-Era]

Isn't Chris Rainey just an even smaller Spiller?Plays both WR and RB at times in their spread, plus is a fairly gifted returner. I'd say more like McCluster than Spiller. He's more of a gadget guy than RB even though he's listed as a RB. Spiller was a solid RB at Clemson.

But, if you want a more established receiver Maze is the better option.

[jimbohastle51]

you all have to take into account how are receivers that are currently on the roster have been acquired. its obvious as it was in SD, that Nix is not going to draft a receiver with a high pick. if roosevelt plays well he will get the spot i am sure especially with how affordable he is. if they choose to go another route your looking at another ruvell martin type receiver being brought in. i really believe that naaman has a spot on this team if he plays like he did in the preseason. in this offense its run after the catch not big vertical plays. it fits what he is best at perfectly. he is a greg jennings type receiver, a YAC type of guy. after he makes a catch his return skills come in play. the guy makes the first tackler miss and always will get a yard or 2 extra.
