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!
Here's a blurb from Mike Rodak that comes from his pre-training camp roster projection. It's about the TE group in general, but he mentions Thomas. I haven't read or heard anything else:
TIGHT ENDS (3): Charles Clay, Nick O'Leary, Logan Thomas
Clay and O'Leary seemed to be locked into the top two spots. After that -- and assuming the Bills keep three tight ends -- it is anyone's spot. Thomas practiced mostly with the second-team offense in the spring, so he gets the nod, but he did little to stand out in practices I watched. Maybe undrafted rookies Jason Croom or Keith Towbridge will emerge in August, or the Bills could look to the waiver wire at final cuts.
With depth an issue at defensive end, safety and elsewhere, we take a stab at Buffalo's 53-man roster with an eye on reinforcements coming off waivers.
Logan Thomas gets a shot. With Clay out, Nick O'Leary took over as the No. 1 tight end and looked good, making a nice sliding catch during 7-on-7 work. The Bills also gave Thomas a shot with the starters during full-team work. Starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor connected with Thomas on a nice pass that went ... wait for it ... over the middle. At 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, Thomas certainly looks the part. In the race for No. 3 tight end, he might be pulling ahead.

Thomas didn't look bad at all. He's fast and could make the team. Caught a few passes in traffic. Big at 6-5 and 250. Blocking will be his needed work, which is no surprise.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
