BroadwayRay Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I was just browsing the Bills fan board and there's a lot of chatter about them grabbing Webb off the Jets practice squad. Their QB situation is a disaster, so I'm surprised they haven't done this already. How does the waiver process work with the PS? If the Bills claim Webb, is there anything the Jets could do to block it? I don't want them to fix their QB mess at our expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 They can claim him. I believe it is up to the player if he wants to accept but of course they usually would in order to get paid more and onto the 53-man roster. However, since we are paying him pretty much full minimum salary for an active player, the financial incentive is not really there unless BUF makes a higher offer. It then comes down to what he wants to do. We could also conceivably offer to bring him up to our roster, but I don't see that as likely and it really wouldn't matter since he's not going to be on the game-day roster anyway. I don't think we can block the claim though even if we offer him a roster spot. I believe it is the player's choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 He would probably go, even if he was making more here because he would get to play but the situation there is not any better than here as far as him being the top dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 It's an interesting idea but you'd have to think Webb would take it with the Bills with a potential chance to play over being a number 3 here and mostly on the PS. He didn't play last year for the Gis either. I wonder how he's doing in terms of learning the offense and practicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the Bills offense? That's a dreadful situation. If I'm him I think I go the "groomed backup" who eventually gets a shot to start with a respectable team over walking into the worst offensive situation in the NFL where I'm virtually guaranteed to fail.

The failure of Petty and Hackenberg to even develop as solid #2 QBs has put the Jets in a rough spot in terms of QB depth. It only puts a HIGHER priority in keeping a good OLine to protect the crown jewel in tact because there is no dependable #2 QB after this year. I'd like to keep Webb as a long term #2 for Sam - the modern day Jim Sorgi if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct, but we need a competent back-up. I assume McCown will retire after this season as a player. Webb may prove to be a good back-up QB.

Gas2No99 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 It's up to the player to accept, but it MANDATES the team to keep him ACTIVE on the 53-man roster for the rest of the year - i.e. cutting a current player for the signing and whether to keep player ALL year. If the Bills were to poach him they would have to keep him over Peterman/Derek Anderson as the #2 for the rest of the year - the salary almost cancels itself out. Allen will return - no surgery - so Webb MAY get some playing time, no assurance of that, and would have to uproot to Western NY. If I were him, I'd take the opportunity, but I prefer he stay on the Jets and be groomed as a long-term #2 QB for 2019 and possibly beyond.

ScarletKnight89 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Webb most likely isn't worth crap. Let him go or let him stay. It probably means nothing in the long run. I'd like to think that Webb could have a future on our team as the backup to Darnold, but the entire league had a shot at this guy when the Giants cut him and passed.

HessStation Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Doubt Webb is ever gonna get an offer to start anywhere. It’s obvious it’s being set for him to back up Darnold long term.
