Offensive weapon...IN COLLEGE. He was cut by the Steelers...then the Jets. He's a bust.

Bills claim Dri Archer on waivers

The Bills have added another potential weapon to an offense that has too many weapons and only one football.

Running back Dri Archer, waived recently by the Jets, was claimed by the Bills.

A third-round pick in 2014 by Pittsburgh, Archer served primarily as a kickoff returner and never found a niche on offense. The Steelers moved on last year after acquiring Jacoby Jones, who eventually landed in Mike Tomlin’s doghouse due to an ability to keep the ball in his hands.

Archer joined the Jets in February. His blazing speed will continue to give him chances. However, he has yet to translate his ability to quickly get from point A to point B into a secure NFL home.

His next chance comes in Buffalo, as a member of the 90-man roster with the task of climbing the ladder to the final 53.

good thing we dont have to play the bills in the regular season
our DC would have to be up all night game planning for archer

oh shoot, you are right.
they better start planning now
hopefully the weather is bad enough to help slow down archer and his quadruple threat abilities

Bills place Dri Archer on reserve/did not report list

The Bills placed running back Dri Archer on the reserve/did not report list on Wednesday.

The Bills claimed Archer via waivers from the Jets last week, but Archer apparently has not shown up for work. The reserve/did not report list allows the Bills to use the roster spot on another player until the matter is resolved.

The Steelers drafted Archer in the third round in 2014 for his rare speed, but he never found a position and the Steelers cut him last November, instead opting to go with Jacoby Jones as their kick returner.

Archer then curiously turned down some practice squad opportunities and sat out the rest of the season. He signed with the Jets in February but was cut last week.

Archer is so fast he took himself off the roster before the Bills could do it.
