Bills trade for Lerentee McCray

[Victor7]

According to several guys I follow on twitter (all from the media) we just acquired that guy from the Packers for a pick. He's a linebacker


All I've found on him is that he's mostly a special teams player. He was in Denver last year and played only on 10% of defensive snaps.

Why would we trade for a special teamer?

[Mr. Miyagi]

Phew. At first glance I thought we traded McCoy away.

:phew:

[Buffalogic]

7th round pick most likely.

That would be the question to the GM and the two Ryan tubs.

[Forward_Lateral]

La De Fricken Da

[John Doe]

Maybe because the guy that we previously acquired to play special teams is now our starter.

[Bill Cody]

sounds good to me

0 or 1 win my ass

[gebobs]

Oy, from Denver to Green Bay to Buffalo in just 8 months. If he gets dropped by us, he'll be doing the Argos laundry next.

[gebobs]

Maybe because the guy that we previously acquired to play special teams is now our starter.

Or because the team has gotten advance word on Lawson.

I'm waiting for someone to name their kid Garagedooropener. Or Kasimi, but that probably already happened.

I like to think I follow football and know a decent amount of this. I have never heard of this man. You even explained who he was and I still half expect he's the football version of Taro Tsujimoto.

Doesn't every Buffalonian remember the pride of Tokyo?

[sahlensguy]

McCray brings Super Bowl experience. Huge!

[sahlensguy]

7th round pick most likely.

His wiki page is updated to say that he was traded for a 2018 undisclosed pick. It better be a 7th rounder.

There was a player some years ago named Reggie Fudge. Thankfully, he never played for Green Bay...

[Mace]

Trades now are usually guys going to be cut anyway.

I keep thinking that by the time Ryan is gone, and they do a complete rebuild again, no one is going to miss or remember any of the players he collected.

I highly doubt this is an indication of Manny Lawson's 1-game suspension. teams don't waste ANY draft pick for a game suspension.

LB corp overall is the weakest unit of the Bills D, maybe the entire team. You can probably count on Hughes and P. Brown. Manny is 32 year old, not an age that you expect to play every down. More than likely, Striker and the recently signed Biermann are not up to what Rex's liking.

Because we are arrogant enough to believe that we arew smarter than other teams despite....

Food Stamp will be a draft pick in 2021.

I disagree as think TE is our weakest roster spot as outside of Clay we have very little to show for. A shame Grgg got hurt as seemed like he gave us something. Hopefully we can find a vet during final cuts.

Gragg was a lock and I hope Hall gets his, after that dirty hit.

Dray is probably the backup now. They were probably only going to carry 2.

[swiper]

It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when" Clay goes down. You can bet Whaley is using his superlative GM skills to come up with a TE off the waiver wire.

Or WIC.

I think they will keep 3. Dray is pretty one dimensional and they need at least the appearance of flexibility for certain formations.

Or WIC.

Or Crankyoldwhiteman Inyourface by 2037.

"CI, that's an interesting name".....

"I guess when I was born they were interesting times, Food Stamp, by the way, enjoyed your career."

[stuckincincy]

Oh SNAP!

[Night Train]

Cool. Another player to hate.

[tomz]

If he gets suspended for pot, can we say that Lerentee was too damn high?

[stuckincincy]

What an odd, off-the-wall trade at this time. Only the fly on the wall who was there can make sense of it, I suppose.

The Bills brought in Lorenzo Alexander to play special teams. Now that he has been pushed into a starter due to the injuries, they needed to acquire someone else to fill the special teams role.

But why a trade? There were plenty among today's cuts to serve that role. CIN cut a chap named Jayson DiManche, LB, that BUF could of got for nothing. CIN kept him active during the season for 2 years - on their strong roster - and he was decent on ST. Had some plays from scrimmage, too.

That's the whole thing. Trading for an ST linebacker just strikes me as silly.

Of course.

CIN's Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin is tops. B'gals are exceptionally deep, save the WR position with the defection of Jones and Sanu. The budget last year said he had to go, but he was brought back. There just was no room for him in the inn this year, so to speak. I hope Jayson gets a gig - good kid who gives his best. BUF could have given him a look - for nothing.

BTW, I hope some team will be well-served by picking up today's cut Brandon Tate. His receiving was under-utilized, IMO:

1:45 left, Rex stares across the field at his nemesis Belichick, Belichick stares back. ST coach Danny Crossman falls to the turf, weeping. "We need a linebacker on special teams, coach, we need one NOW...what will we do ?"

Rex's chin comes up, he nods at Rob without taking his eyes from Belichick. Rob pulls away the cape on the player next to him. Belichick's eyes flicker to the player. He says "****" on the open mike. Up in the suite Whaley stands with a growl. "YES."

Some generic coach says to Belichick, "We're up by 38, coach ?"

Belichick's stare returns to Ryan's glare. "That's Lerentree McCoy."

"You mean Lerentee McCrory, coach ?"

Another coach pipes in from the booth, "Larry McCarey."

Belichick snarls. "Whoever, he's that good."

The staff looks at Belichick, who takes off his headset. "Just kidding, how about Arby's tonight ?" (he flips a bird at Rex). "Idiot."

The 49ers cut an interesting guy in Busta Anderson. Here's an in-depth report on him

Thanks. BUF should take a look.

But there will be plenty of qualified people floating around after final cuts that could do that.

would have been cooler if his last name was Rhymes but whatever

[ghz in pittsburgh]

There must be competition for this guy or no one is going to trade a pick at this time of the year. I'd be surprised the pick is conditional on him making the team.

That, of course, would be the only acceptable answer.

[ghz in pittsburgh]

I mis-typed earlier. Per TBN, ESPN reported Tuesday night that the draft pick was a conditional seventh-rounder. Just like most people would think, it is conditional based on him making the team this year.

Lerentee? Really?


WTF does that even mean? Mommy & Daddy were drunk and couldn't spell William?

It's just a combination of the 3 names that they couldn't decide on. Leroy, Ben, and T-Bone.
