The World's Most Dangerous Job

Crab fisherman in Alaska?
Police Officer?
Firefighter?

Nope, its Buffalo Bills Tight End.

The Bills have gone through a ton of them this year and in fact have just brought back an old friend in Brad Cieslak, who is most known for having a line about him in a rap song, done by a local radio show. Who is either going to stay a Bill or get out of the NFL. Since no one else picked him up after he got cut. Hes like that guy in the office, who is there, doesn't do much, gets laid off when things get light, then they bring him back when the office gets busy again or when people leave. So another TE on the Injured Reserve, time to give Cieslak a call.

Lets see the Tight Ends this year.

Robert Royal,-having another average year, but currently battling a concussion.

Ryan Neufeld- somehow still on the team, doesn't catch the ball (13 catches in 7 years) I guess he blocks well, but his value is on special teams. Somehow doesn't get hurt.

Kevin Everett - Was supposed to have a good year, but tragedy struck and currently trying to fight to get back to normal.

Michael Gaines - Signed after the Everett injury has 15 catches on the year with a 1 td. A nice dump off option for both Losman and Edwards. Has remained relatively intact

Matt Murphy- Practice squad type guy, but with injuries almost made the lineup, until he tore his calf in practice. Now on the IR.

Derek Schouman- Drafted in the 7th round by the Bills, cut, brought back, played in games due to injury. Suffered bad ankle injury, now on the IR. At least he can watch that Fiesta Bowl Game where he caught the final td in OT. See you next year Derek.

Tim Massaquoi- just signed this week along with Cieslak. Will probably trip down some stairs and rip up his knee.

So GCFB wanted to know how Gaines and Neufeld remain healthy. Here is what I found.

Michael Gaines, has a special voodoo doll in his locker, which he says keeps the injury bug away. Marshawn Lynch made fun of it last week, look what happened to him. Other then that he eats right and works out regularly. Also wraps himself in bubble wrap off the field.

Ryan Neufeld, has someone convinced others hes invisible. Not on the team. But other teams, with his theory you can't hurt what you can't see. Tends just to run around players. But when faced with the idea of a tackle, he just lets others make it, because he might hurt himself. Takes the bubble wrap one step further, and in fact rolls around in a big plastic bubble. And if your lucky you can see him roll home down Abbott.
