2008. Solid as a rock in the return game. His return was the catalyst that set up the final GW drive at GB. 

Yep.

And I don't recall him being super fast or a prototypical return specialist, but he sure knew how to use his blockers.

Ray-Ray returned 25 punts in his last year of college for an average of 12.1 yards. That's very impressive.

I just went undercover and hacked into the Vikings and the Bills news websites---nobody saw me---

I am liking these Moves--Seynour was torched when healthy (by the Bills after we signed him--his former team).  We got a DB.

In Minnesota, they were a bit shocked by the cut---and I watched some videos--has good hands and runs good routes.  Pure possession WR.

We lose Torrey Smith---drops.

Ray Ray?  The Panthers seem to like him based on camp play---according to the Buffalo source.

"McCloud, a 2017 sixth-round pick, was cut Saturday as the Bills trimmed to 53 players.

McCloud impressed the Bills coaches in training camp and his name was often brought up unprompted. He perhaps impressed the Panthers coaches during the teams' joint practices."

Both are young.  I like the WR corps, folks--we got better.  Seymour?  Not sure yet.

Are we trying to find some change in the couch for some reason?

Ray Ray for Smith?...hope Marty knows something, I don’t see it

Need a returner... we're probably only going to have 5 WRs active, so Torrey was expendable.

Think we give these 3 guys a shot and then bring back Godwin if no one stands out

I don't how any of these waiver pickups help us. Zlystra didn't even play until last preseason game? He did nothing not even kicks or punt returns. Not getting this at all!

[Butterflyj30]

Hopefully Seymour and Holyfield can make the practice squad

REPORT: Elijah Holyfield was cut

I am looking at the skill set and the offense.  We grabbed another quick slot and a possession.  I see it.  Samuel proved that he can go deep and actually catch the ball.  In addition, these players are younger.  26 and 22.  Upside vs. folklore.

The Panthers released undrafted rookie running back Elijah Holyfield and corner Kevon Seymour in addition to wide receiver Torrey Smith to make room for three players claimed off waivers. Claimed were receiver Brandon Zylstra, safety Natrell Jamerson and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud.

I am amazed how far Polite has fallen.  First round lock.  3rd round.  Released before his first game.  Not claimed off waivers.

Here is the story behind Polite being cut from Jets.
