When the clock hit noon it was not just College Football fans that had reason to be excited as the NFL waivers officially ended and the teams could begin to sign players to their practice squads. The Bills thus far have only officially said that it may take some time to figure it all out because there is interest in opposing teams players who were cut.

First five names reported by Mark Gaughan.

No real surprises yet.

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

I'm fine with those five...other than possibly Easley I don't see any other teams raiding the PS for any of them. Let them continue to develop, they already know the system and if there is an injury and they're needed they are already in town practicing with the team.

I'm happy Easley made the PS

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

No Asper

The Vikings claimed him

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

Isn't Gilbert in his 4th year or something? How does he still qualify for PS?

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

Yup, Asper is on the Vikings 53.

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

DraftBoy, with Minnesota claiming Asper, I'm wondering about Keith Williams. There were some good reports on him coming out of training camp. I know he's been primarily a guard, but does he have the ability to pick up the center position to give Buffalo that versatility down the road? I suspect that if he does, the Bills might add him to the PS.

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

I just find it kind of strange that as of now, the Bills have not announced any additions to their PS. Most teams have already added several players, and some are at the full eight.

Perhaps we have already signed the four remaining guys mentioned by Gaughan, plus a few others, and just haven't acknowledged them. Or maybe we just lack that sense of urgency, like we have for the last 12 years on the non-road to the playoffs.

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

I think us, Miami and Washington are the only ones yet to announce any official PS signings.

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

They need to add an O-line, a d-line, and a LBer to that list. And maybe a TE.

No action on Roosevelt by any team yet?

Re: BBD: Bills Practice Squad

You have to figure when Smith/Jackson get up and going that Thigpen will bounce and one of these WRs will be moved up.

Roosevelt used up his PS eligibility.
