BBK gone

[Chawker]

He was waved today due to not able to pass physical.

 

[Exittium]

He's been underwhelming to say the least imo.

 

[sutz]

He's been active on special teams. Hopefully, he'll pass waivers and still be around on the injured reserve.

They probably want to use the roster spot for start of camp.

would make sense, he is a stud on ST. And having that extra spot to try someone else out for a camp body or whatever works into PC and JS leave no rock unturned method

Lol for a second I thought thread title was BTK gone.

 

[toffee]

BBK had a nice pre-season before he got hurt, he was rocking it with Barton. This is just too bad.

I hate it when people do this, who is BBK? Nobody speaks English anymore

 

[sc85sis]

Ben Burr-Kirven who's been referred to as BBK since the day he arrived in Seattle (if not before).

 

[Cyrus12]

Forgot he was still on the team..

I feel I should know this, but does anybody know why he wasn't placed on the PUP list instead of waived?

Probably want the roster spot on the 90 for somebody else.

More than likely too injured to return in the PUP time frame.

Is BTK one of the Kardashians? I can't keep track.

That makes some sense. Thanks, I didn't know it counted against the 90 man roster.

Might be this, too. Damn He's had a rough go with injuries. I feel bad for him.

It does because a PUP player can be activated any time he becomes healthy and available before the season or 4-6 weeks after the season starts. If BBK clears waivers, they can sign him back as IR but he would have to spend the entire season on IR, basically done for the year. Or they could let him sit out there and sign him later if he gets healthy. That has the risk of him being a FA, of course.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Great on special teams but too slow for linebacker play at this level. Took up a valuable roster spot for limited action

He looked pretty darn good in his preseason prior to the injury. Had some good closing speed, was able to get through traffic well.

 

[onanygivensunday]

I didn't follow BBK's career closely but based on the evaluations I've read, he played very instinctively in college (lots of tackles) but with average speed and somewhat undersized for the NFL.
