Thaak Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This is just a move for depth at TE, considering they only have an old Heiden with a bum knee and a young unproven Rucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gips Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Seems to have a good work ethic and nice size may be injury prone but tough..cant find much on him.. CBSSports.com Bills to release TE Royal: Veteran tight end Robert Royal expects to be released by the Buffalo Bills on Thursday as part of the team's plan to free up salary-cap space, according to his agent. Signed by the Bills in free agency in 2006, Royal was scheduled to make just under $3 million over the final two years of his contract. Despite being nagged by injuries last season, the seven-year NFL veteran finished with career-highs in catches (33) and yards receiving (351) and scored one touchdown in 15 games, including seven starts. (Updated 02/26/2009). Fantasy Analysis Royal has never been even a decent stat producer, so Fantasy owners can continue to view him as nothing more than a one-week replacement off the waiver wire in the deepest of leagues.

Solon16 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 S.T.inkins? Dinkins was cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
585Dawg Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm from Rochester, about an hour east of buffalo.. so I hear and see everything about the bills.. royal blows big time. He is in NO WAY an upgrade over dinkins.. should have kept dinkins if they were going to do this. at least dinkins is decent on special teams. or they should have kept winslow! i personally would have kept winslow for at least one more year.

Winslow's body is breaking down and he wanted a long term contract. If you saw Dinkins as much as us you would want Royal over him also. Dinkins is fair at best on special teams and blocking, which used to be his strength, has deteriated in the last year. He wasn't worth keeping as a 3rd TE and you don't pay mega bucks in a long term contract for a guy that has severly bad knees and a bad shoulder. He speed was so hampered by his injuries that he had 7 offensive interference calls to try to get some separation from DBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinkins stinkins he got old fast in cleveland...honestly i would take almost anyone over dinkins..and even though winslow had great hands he had began his decline and wanted more money because he knows his playing days are limited in the end it was a great move by mankok.. What could have been if kw2 hadnt had that motorcycle wreck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaak Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 S.T.inkins? Dinkins' contract expired and the Browns are letting him test FA to create a market for his services. It is not unlikely that he could be back in a Browns Uniform, although if they sign Royal, don't count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffer X Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Dinkins is a decent player but mistake prone. He gets too many ST's penalties and will drop one at any given time. His hands are there but he lacks concentration. He's sort of a tease and it's probably best to move on without him. Hell, the last two camps they had pretty good TE's they cut.

Have you ever really watched Dinkens on special teams? I don't know how many flags he got this year on special teams. If Rucker would've stayed healthy he would've been gone last year.

standish Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Theres only 2 barely decent tight ends on the market and id rather take Royal than L.J. "Stone Hands" Smith and we dont have enough picks this draft to waste on drafting another Tight End before finding out what we have in Rucker...
