3/13 Updated!!! Sign[ed] the Beast XXXV: Buffalo Bills release TE Scott Chandler

Good pickup and one less Patriots-killer out there.

The man is an absolute beast when he plays us, but seems prone to disappearing into mediocrity the rest of year.

Is that uninformed or unfair (hoping for either)?

I am shocked. I figured he would sign with the Ravens. Nice pick up though.

Wonder if Bill frees up $1.4m by cutting Hoomanauawi now.

I sure hope so.

Ravens beaten again

Imagine lining up Gronk, Wright, Chandler, and Lafell in the Red Zone at the goal line...

Have to say I am shocked about this. Not upset, but I figured he would want a better chance to start. Nice move.

I am assuming Hooman is gone. I think he saves the Pats almost a million in cap space.

Great signing. Better blocker and receiving than Hooman. Also for once if Gronk ever went down we'll have a decent TE1 backup.

Offense is loaded once Bush comes to town.

No, he's a very solid TE, and a very good blocker as previously mentioned.

Great

Tim Wright or Hooman are gonners.

He's not just put up big numbers but has made some impressive catches against us. I think he's been under utilized and I REALLY like him in the red zone with Gronk, LaFell and Edelman who can hide between the trees.

The one guy I actually wanted. Nice.

If the Jets load up on DBs, we'll load up on TEs.

Michael Hoomanawanui could be in trouble after Chandler signing. Patriots can save $1.4 mil by releasing him. Wright could still have a role

Does this mean Tim Wright is gone? Haven't been following the TE talk that much. Would we carry three?

I like the move (obviously depending on the price.) We've all been waiting for the Patriots to put an average starting TE on the field with Gronkowski and see what happens. Looks like we finally will.
