magahee deactivated?

[STAMPY]

whats the reason behind the deactivation of willis magahee?

[BillsOwnAll]

you want him injuried for next year in pointless games?

[STAMPY]

he's supposedly 100%? so y not see what he has... he should never have been activated if he wasn't 100 % imo

[Ð]

They probably had to do it to activate a clause in his contract, i.e. he may have had an option to become a free agent unless they at least put him on the active roster.

[venis2k1]

they just did it so he could practice with the team for a few months instead of sitting in miami running on a treadmill.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Maybe it was to sell more tickets.. lol

[ShadowHawk7]

ne link on the deactivation?

[cordog]

I know before the national championship game last year he took out an insurance policy. I believe that if he didnt play within a year of the game he would get like 2 million dollars. I dont know if that has anything to do with it, but why play in two meaning less games if you can pocket a cool 2 mill?

[ricogarion]

He was activated to the squad so he could practice with the team their never was a time when we were told he would be active in a game.The Bills are taking their time with him till he is totally ready no ifs,ands or buts!

[THATHURMANATOR]

Did you see his knee explode in the national championship game less than a year ago? I think that may be the reason. He isn't going to play this year.

[helmetguy]

Let's not get our shorts in a knot here folks. McGahee wasn't expected to play this year anyway. He was "deactivated" in that, for yesterday's game, he didn't suit up. He's still on the 53-man regular roster. Otherwise, they'd have to put him on IR. At least, being on the roster, he gets to practice with the team, get some reps, and test the knee. It also helps the team doctors monitor his progress.

[Turf]

The games mean nothing, there is no point in rushing him back and jeopardizing his future.

[Moulds80]

would rather get him 100% and have a healthy Henry as our primary back and a healthy McGahee as a great 3rd down back.

[BAM]

save him for next year! good move

[Turf]

Rookies rarely make a significant contribution anyways.

[TigerJ]

Deactivation is a term that applies to single games. McGahee is on the 53 man roster. The team can dress only 50. What the Bills did for the Tennessee game has no bearing on what they might do for the Miami game. I vote with the apparent minority this time and say I'd love to see him get in the game for a few plays this season. I continue to maintain it's preposterous to make a judgement on whether he should/could play this season based on what he looked like in getting injured last January. It's also preposterous to think that the Bills' long term plans are for McGahee to be a third down back. I will not let my brain turn to jelly because we're out of the playoffs.

During the game they commented that GW said there was a good chance WM could or would see some PT the last two weeks. GW makes the call? Ga Tech #5 ACC

[helmetguy]

GW will make the call on whether he plays or not; but would need A LOT of assurance from the medical staff. He's the coach (galling as that may be), so he decides who dresses.

BTW, tigerJ, they can only dress 46 on game day-45 man regular roster plus one emergency QB. If the emergency QB enters the game before the fourt quarter, the first two QB's are then ineligible tp return for that game, thus reducing the active roster down to 44 thereafter.

That's freightening. GW's a moron who might get Willis hurt in a meaningless game.
