Here’s the need-to-know about the four newest members of the Bills:Quindarius Thagard, DT, UABThe 6’2” 287-lb Thagard had a 5.19 40-yard dash, 22 bench press reps, and a 30” vertical jump at his pro day. In two seasons at UAB, he had 61 tackles, 9.5 TFLs Darryl Johnson NFL Jersey , and four sacks. Thagard, who majored in criminal justice, was working as a correctional officer before his rookie minicamp performance earned him a contract.Garrett McGhin, OL, East CarolinaMcGhin developed from a special-teams blocker to a starting offensive lineman at ECU. The team captain started at left guard, center, right guard, and right tackle during his career with the Pirates. At 6’6” and 302 lbs, McGhin definitely fits the positional versatility mold Brandon Beane seeks.Moral Stephens, TE, FloridaThe Stephens signing was announced a little earlier than the others. A reserve tight end and special-teams contributor, Stephens finished his Florida career with 15 catches for 261 yards and three touchdowns.Abraham Wallace, S Darryl Johnson NFL Draft , West AlabamaAt 5’10” and 205 lbs, Wallace could potentially slot in as a safety or slot defender for the Bills. He ran a 4.53 40-yard dash at his pro day. Wallace originally played at LSU, who brought him onto their team despite an ACL tear in high school. That ACL injury didn’t heal well the first time, and a second surgery would result in Wallace losing his first two seasons on the field. Wallace played special teams as a redshirt sophomore, graduated and transferred to Texas Tech, but an ankle injury robbed him of a chance to start. He finally played a full season after transferring to D-2 West Alabama.On the other end of the equation, the Bills made two roster cuts to open space for these rookies. The first cut was Jake Fisher. Originally an offensive tackle, Fisher planned to convert to tight end and signed a one-year, $805,000 deal with the Bills to attempt that. Smith’s signing cancelled that experiment. Keith Ford is the other player to get the axe. An undrafted free agent from Texas A&M in 2018, Ford appeared in two games with the Bills, notching 21 carries for 79 yards (3.8 yards per attempt). Between LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore Darryl Johnson Buffalo Bills Jersey , rookie Devin Singletary, and other options like Marcus Murphy and Christian Wade, the Bills decided Ford didn’t fit onto the roster anymore. An undrafted free agent who was cut in the middle of the season, Foster came back and showed real upside thanks to his deep-threat ability" OpinionBuffalo Bills Salary CapBuffalo Bills’ best contract values of 2018: Robert FosterNew,49commentsAn undrafted free agent who was cut in the middle of the season, Foster came back and showed real upside thanks to his deep-threat abilityEDTAs an undrafted free agent out of Alabama, Robert Foster was thought to be just a camp body because of his connection to Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Foster was overlooked and overshadowed by the plethora of talented receivers who play for the Crimson Tide and his production as a four-year player wasn't remarkable. The Bills appear to have found a steal in Foster. But it didn’t appear that way in the beginning—with the wide receiver tallying only two catches for 30 yards (all in one game) over the first half of the season. Buffalo waived Foster and then brought him back to the practice squad in Week 7. Finally a part of the active roster again the following week, Foster quickly created a connection with Josh Allen—in fact, over 75% of his production came in the last six games of the season. As noted in a piece about Robert Forster by the Bills’ official website: “Foster led the NFL in yards per catch with an average of 20.0 (minimum 25 receptions). The next four receivers on that list were DeSean Jackson, Josh Gordon, Mike Evans and Dante Pettis.He was the only NFL rookie with three 100-yard receiving games in 2018, putting him in a group with JuJu Smith-Schuster (3 in 2017), Michael Thomas (3 in 2016) and Amari Cooper (5 in 2015) as the only NFL players since 2015 to record three 100-yard games in their rookie season.”For the entire season Youth Shaq Lawson Jerseys , Foster had 27 catches for 541 yards and six touchdowns. Foster was the team’s second-leading receiver next to Zay Jones. In terms of production per snap, Foster was the number-one target. Foster only played 450 (42.5%) snaps to Jones’s 941 (88.9%) according to Pro Football Reference. Foster’s cap hit in 2018 was a whopping $225,880. For an undrafted receiver who was highly productive with a limited amount of snaps, Foster’s elite level of play over the final seven games of last season and his low cap number makes him the second-best salary-cap value on the Bills’ roster for the 2018 season.
