    Bills re-signing WR Philly Brown

    Per Mike Rodak:

    The Bills are re-signing WR Philly Brown, a source confirmed Tuesday. Brown spent training camp with Buffalo and provides depth with Jordan Matthews set to undergo thumb surgery that will keep him out indefinitely. NFL Network first reported Brown's signing.

    I forgot about him.

    Not sure how this fills the void Matthews injury created.

    Kinda hard to fill that void now. At least it gives the team someone who knows the system and can play

    Re: Bills re-signing WR Philly Brown

    When it is a short term fill in, it's better to have the guy with more familiarity with the system and the QB than a guy with better measurables and more talent. We're talking 3 games here: Cincinnati before the bye, and the Buccaneers and Raiders after the bye. I'm guessing Jordan will be back for the Jets game.
    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

    Same here, but TigerJ has a good point. If Reilly looked good, other teams would see it too, and they would have to waive him again if they didn't have a roster spot.

    Then again I'm not sure what Kaelin Clay and Tate are bringing to the table if Hyde is doing return duty.

    Doesnt that ultimately require more effort in the long run though? I imagine it wouldnt be pleasant sitting close to you. (or standing for that matter. I dont want to offend those who want to monitor our body positions during songs).

    I keep an eye out for homes with garden hoses near garbage totes, takes about 5 minutes to hose myself off and be out of there with police response around 10 minutes for that kind of call.

    Not real sure if I have a rancid stench, I carry a jar of Vicks and keep it slathered under my nose all day for when I'm picking through garbage. I do notice people seem to get out of my way and I always experience short lines in stores, get fast service at take outs, and have plenty of personal space in crowds, though it would be hard to figure which one of my alarming traits is responsible without asking the people I don't want to be bothered with anyway.

    The Bills picked up another slot receiver. Next year they can line up 3 slot receivers and 2 fullbacks!

    Matthews was the slot receiver...

    Brown will either take that spot or compete for it.
