Release Sam Young

Practice squad assignment?

I doubt it... You don't claim a guy off of waivers and cut an active roster player to put the guy you claimed on the practice squad.

Well, what about Big Sam Young?

Wasn't he supposed to be our Swiss Army Knife? Where is NOT THE DUDE...he usually can tell us which HOF'er our backups are comparable to.

No loss, Sam Young is not a productive Lineman. We've seen enough of him

Re: Bills claim G Antoine McClain and release....

Apparently we are signing LB Ty Powell off the Giants practice squad as well. I think we have room now with placing Hopkins on IR correct?

Unless I'm missing something... The Bills are still at 53 on the main roster, while freeing up a Practice Squad spot.

Putting Hopkins on IR allowed the Bills to promote Thad Lewis to the Main Roster.
Cutting Sam Young frees up a roster spot, which would be filled by Antoine McClain.

If they were going after a player on another team's Practice Squad, that team would first have the option to promote them to the 53 man roster. Even if the Giants didn't do that, I'm not sure why a player would leave one team's practice squad to go to another team's practice squad.

I'm not even sure if one team can sign a PS player from another team, unless it is to promote them to the 53 man roster.

Yeah, I don't know where the extra spot is going to come from.

And you're right, if you sign another team's practice squad player, it has to be to your active roster.

Re: Bills claim G Antoine McClain and release....

I was rooting for Young because he's a Notre Dame product, but he definitely hasn't played well for us.

[DraftBoy]

Re: Bills claim G Antoine McClain and release....

Ty Powell would be an interesting signing but like Bill said we are maxed out on our roster right now.

Re: Bills claim G Antoine McClain and release....

Hes already in Buffalo so I dont think Giants are promoting him. And seeing we are getting all our secondary back I imagine its got to be a DB getting released

Re: Bills claim G Antoine McClain and release....

I was never really sure who Sam Young was, where he was playing, where he came from or how we had him much less why he seemed to appear from time to time. Moorman is versatile and can play the line anyway, along with any other position, so it's ok.
