The best ability in football is availability and this linebacker’s lack of it seemed to seal his fate with the Buffalo Bills today.
The Buffalo Bills waived Baylon Spector
The Buffalo Bills made a move today to waive injured linebacker Baylon Spector.
Spector was a 7th-round pick out of Clemson in the 2022 NFL Draft. He had good size at 6 feet tall and 230 pounds, but unfortunately, couldn’t seem to stay healthy for his tenure in Buffalo. During his time with the Bills he played in 26 games, but didn’t have a single start for the team.
Teams never like to give up on players that they chose in the draft, but yesterday, Spector found his way to the injury list again by leaving practice with a calf injury at training camp.
Could this be a huge opportunity for Buffalo native Joe Andreesen?
They say that when one door closes, another opens, and in this instance, that door opening is for Buffalo native Joe Andreesen. He has been competing with Spector for a backup spot on the team and this could be the chance he needed to show what he’s got.
Andreesen was a walk-on to the Bills after playing for the University at Buffalo, then being invited for a mini-camp tryout with the team. He impressed them enough for them to invite him back to training camp where he was able to showcase his talents. It was enough to impress the coaches and earn a spot on the team.
The Bills will have their first preseason game of the season this weekend where we will probably get to see quite a bit of “Buffalo Joe” in action.
