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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Why have we not picked up any waiver wire players yet?
I don't have anyone in mind, but I'm sure we can get some treasure out of someone else's trash, like a lot of other teams are already doing.
Are we taking Labor Day weekend off or something?
Or signed some of our own released guys to the PS?
For a team with only 4 WRs on the roster, we sure are taking our sweet time in building a little depth at the position.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Re: Why have we not picked up any waiver wire players yet?
I don't think there will be many moves this weekend, if any. Brooks will go on IR when he can and still be eligible as the exception/return from IR, they'll probably bring Hagan back into the fold (Easley and Aiken are most likely on the PS to give them another option if Hagan signs elsewhere between now and then) and the only other move I would anticipate is if a FS option better than Howell becomes available so they can pick him up and move Howell to the PS.

Re: Why have we not picked up any waiver wire players yet?
I think one of our next moves also depends on McGee's status. With Brooks out for several weeks at least, we may need a CB if McGee continues to be hobbled by injury.

Could be a couple of reasons why the Bills haven't picked up anyone yet. For one, they just got through putting the practice squad together today, and they are probably waiting for these guys to clear wavers so they can bring them in as free agents. This would allow the Bills to have more time, have a better look at them before deciding whether the players fit here. These are guesses though.
Re: Why have we not picked up any waiver wire players yet?
I think we need a corner and a wide receiver from somewhere.
Our depth at WR is non-existent with only carrying 5 including Brad Smith and we have issues with depth at corner with an injury prone guy in that mix on top of it.

We've got Aiken and Easley on the practice squad, and I would expect Hagan to be back on the regular roster by Tuesday/Wednesday. Green is PS also...if McGee and Brooks both can't go, a recently cut vet might be a good call.

Re: Why have we not picked up any waiver wire players yet?
This just in from Andrew Brandt via Twitter, and what could be causing a delay in the Bills bringing players in: Quote, "will be tough for vested veterans to sign this week: if on roster Saturday, salary guaranteed for season. Teams will wait.". I personally did not know that until now. Interesting, in my opinion.
Edit: Reportedly there are 2 new faces in the Bills locker room. DB TJ Heath and TE LaMark Brown were apparently added to the practice squad. It hasn't been confirmed yet though. This comes from Joe Buscaglia and Tim Graham via Twitter.
