    Re: Bills sign Buster Davis

    So does Easley go on IR or do we cut Paul Hubbard or Kamar Aiken?

    Obviously someone Nix is familiar with. My guess is he holds a spot until Easley is ready to return. Can't hurt to see what the guy has while Easley heals.

    Something is fishy with this signing....
    Either someone is not performing or Easly's injury is worse then we thought......

    Or use as an excuse to cut Hubbard for his off the field discretion.

    Easely was already reported to be out a month I thought. That means we needed a body for TC.

    Cook was put on injured list, opening up a roster spot.

    No, I just looked back, you're right it was Cook. So this is a guy to push the backups who may make the roster. I'm OK with this move.

    But we have other needs that are more pressing.

    Davis has good size and talent, enough that San Diego drafted him in the first round. He has struggled staying healthy, and San Diego finally cut him this year. Worth a shot on talent, but he has to prove he can stay healthy.

    Rotoworld says they think he's a #3 or even #2 WR if he stays healthy. He won't be that here but It's nice to see someone outside likes him more than we do.

    If healthy, he has the talent to start. The guy was a first round pick, 6-1, 200#+, ran a 4.4 coming out of college.

    Health is the question. He has been snakebit since he came into the league. He wasn't hurt bad at LSU.

    He's still so raw, his routes are very raw, and his hands are inconsistent. He has issues beyond that of just injuries.

    Chris Brown disagrees. "Davis has 4.4 speed and is known as a sharp route runner."

    Re: Bills sign Buster Davis

    no surprise, nix was the scout who helped to draft him in sd

    i wish him the best in buffalo

    when healthy, he hardly dropped any passes and he was a good wr IMO

    it was just rare that he was ever healthy.

    Re: Bills sign Buster Davis

    I like the move. Obviously it's somebody that Buddy Nix knows very well from scouting him big time and watching him play first hand on a daily basis in San Diego.

    Buster is quick as hell, and is an excellent player to run reverses with. As for catching, i've read several people his hands are not very good, and that is probably the truth since SD cut him, but, it can't be much worse then Fulton or Roosevelt.

    It's def worth a try, essp. given the uncertainty of Marcus Easley.
    Impossible is Nothing.
