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

[New England Pride]

Any numbers yet? #TeamFrugal

 

[Deus Irae]

Maybe you meant to type Hoomanawanui and just hit the wrong buttons.


.

No

 

[dannydyn]

Approved

 

[RobertWeathers]

I could be very happy with a WR set of Edelman, Lafell, Amendola, Dobson and Wright. If Gibson can beat out Dobson in TC, the job is his.

Supplemented with a TE duo of Gronk and Chandler.

What is great about Wright is that he can give the Pats roster flexibility to save a spot in that he could play either WR or TE. For $585,000 that's a steal.

Exactly my line of thinking, shmessy.

Maybe Wright is that H-back guy as well.

Miguel with the subtle reminder:

CapSpace=$12,389,937 ?@patscap 1m1 minute ago
Reminder that Hoomanawanui is soon due a 300K roster bonus.

Not that its a ground breaking amount, but if he's a redundant player there is little reason to pay it, IMO.

Why are people saying the who man is in trouble? Hes a blocking tight end, wright and Chandler dont block. But they could essentially count as an extra wide out. That could be how both make the roster.

It's been said numerous times, but I love how our offense is the most diverse in the NFL:

WR1 Edelman
TE1 Gronk
TE2 Chandler
RB Blount
FB Develin

vs.

WR1 Edelman
WR2 Lafell
WR3 Amendola
TE1/WR4 Gronk
RB Bush (likely)

old school football to pound the finesse teams like the Coltsand then the spread attack to beat the stout front 7 teams like the Bills/Lions

Chandler doesn't block?

 

[RayClay]

Nice. BB building, not replacing. Stronger offense, stronger front 7 (I hope, need the big Kahuna though).

Tweet from Matt Chatham :

Guaranteed for '15: when #Patriots align in YY w/ #Gronk & 6'7" Scott Chandler next to 6'8" Solder, the right OLB won't be able to see ****.

Exactly, I think we are set on receivers, don't need to spend a single pick in WR on the next draft, load the lines, a RB and maybe take a flier on a CB and safety.

19-0

Let Hooman walk and keep Wright. Wright is good Dobson insurance if the tall one doesn't get healthy.

Plus Wright is super cheap to the cap.

That leaves gronk as the only blocking tight end....if the who gets replaced it won't be because of chandler or wright unless they learn to block. I do think all 4 can make the roster tho. It was disappointing wright couldn't build off the Bengals game but he had no time to learn an extremely tough playbook. Not everyone is Danny Woodhead, so we'll see.

No.

Chandler is slightly bigger than Gronk and blocks very well. He is 6'7" 270.

 

[InRodWeRust]

I'm officially happy with our tight end roster. Now can we get some defensive tackles and cornerbacks?

 

[unoriginal]

Chandler doesn't block?

Bills posters have nothing nice to say about his blocking. He's gone they think because Buffalo wants better blocking tight ends.

 

[Froob]

No.

Chandler blocks very well. And he is 6'7" 265.

does he? My apologizes i could have sworn i had heard from others who watch him more he didnt. Would be dope to have 3 receiving threats at tight end.

 

[patchick]

Another signing that's easy to love. Just the sort of player they needed (and the draft cupboard is bare at TE).

 

[SeanBruschi54]

Trade Wright to the Saints as a Jimmy Graham replacement (I'm not comparing them).

Wright plus picks for Keenan Allen? Im not sure how much longer this fire sale will last

 

[FCB02062]

Nice pickup, should help in red zone and perhaps become another viable 3rd down option...but didn't we say the same about jake ballard?????

Chandler can block well, and is a far superior talent receiving. I'd say Hooman and chandler are equals in the blocking game, but Hooman couldn't sniff Chandlers stinky jock strap after a long, smoldering day of training camp when it comes to receiving.
