He's just a solid 3/4 that doesn't push the needle either way.

I don't think he's a long term top pair guy, but considering what we paid it's a great add

its depth if nothing else. i do wonder what the long term plan for that spot is.

None of the 24 players waived by the Bills on Saturday were claimed by other teams, according to the NFL's transaction wire. Of those players, I can confirm four are joining the Bills' practice squad, per sources: DT Marquavius Lewis, S B.T. Sanders, WR Daikiel Shorts and DE Ian Seau.

I liked Shorts as much as Rielly.

He seems like he has some skill.

Like Seau too

Unexpected move: The #Bills just cut RB Jonathan Williams, source said. Productive player, was slated to be their No. 2 RB at one point.

No injury. No suspension. Just a surprising release for RB Jonathan Williams.


The Bills haven't earned the right to do things like this without answers, f'ing Mike Tolbert is the backup now

Tolbert isn't even a RB. He's s goal line back.

This is dumb. Super dumb

These guys think you can just plug and play anyone like they're the effin Patriots. Decimated the poopty depth we had at MLB and CB to begin with and RB too. Apparently no players get injured in the McD and Dennison systems.

This is effed up.

For those asking about Brandon Reilly and Bills’ practice squad, I cannot confirm yet that is a done deal. Expected, but not confirmed.

Not big on scandella, especially as top pair. Getting pommer back for foligno and Ennis and adding pouliot on the cheap was the best part of it. Edit: a lot of it hinges on how they divide the ice time and competition but in general would rather scandella on the second pair.

The Bills waived wide receiver Philly Brown on Sunday, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Brown was essentially bumped off the roster by Saturday's trade acquisition of receiver Kaelin Clay. In addition to Brown, the Bills are reportedly releasing RB Jonathan Williams (per NFL Network) and LB Gerald Hodges (per ProFootballTalk) on Sunday to make room for three players they claimed off waivers.

I got to watch Brandon Reilly a lot here in Nebraska, kids a stud. Always been an underdog. Kid was a huge hockey prospect but didn't want to leave his friends so he walked on to the Huskers football team. If you haven't seen it, check out his catch against Michigan ST. One of the best moments in recent Husker history.
