When Christian Wade made the decision to leave rugby and embark on his NFL journey, there was a mix of reactions.

Whilst many were excited for Wade and the opportunity he was chasing, there were also plenty who acknowledged the reality of the challenge ahead of the former Wasps man and that the odds were firmly stacked against him.

On Monday, that NFL dream became a whole lot more real for Wade, as he was assigned to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.

Wade will be part of the International Player Pathway Program this season, which allows the four franchises in the AFC East to carry an extra player on their practice squads, as long as they are international players from abroad. As the 11th member of the practice squads, they are ineligible to be activated during this season and moved onto the franchises’ regular 53-man rosters.

It’s a path that has been trod previously by former England 7s international Alex Gray and ex-Worcester Warriors lock Christian Scotland-Williamson. Gray recently signed a new two-year future reserves contract with the Atlanta Falcons, whilst Scotland-Williamson is still part of the program with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both players play tight end in the NFL.

As for Wade, he will link up with his new teammates in May, when the first of the offseason camps begin at NFL franchises all over the US.

The former England and British and Irish Lions wing is hoping to make the grade as a running back in the NFL, which will put him in the backfield with second-year quarterback Josh Allen at the Bills, and alongside a stable of tailbacks that boasts legendary figures Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy.

The odds are still firmly stacked against Wade, but with mentors like Gore and McCoy in place in Buffalo and an opportunity to learn and develop on the practice squad during the 2019 season, those odds might be beginning to look up for the man that used to light up the Gallagher Premiership on a weekly basis.

CALL OR VISIT TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY ON WhatsApp    +15617263697   Or  Telegram  +15617263697  Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam, a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered. As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness. Amid this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Initially skeptical but driven by desperation, I visited their website and was struck by their no-nonsense commitment to transparency. Unlike other firms that promised miraculous recoveries, Tech Cyber Force Recovery provided a clear breakdown of their process: forensics, collaboration with international legal networks, and direct engagement with exchanges to freeze illicit funds. When I contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery, their team approached my case faster. They meticulously analyzed my situation, keeping me informed at every stage of the recovery process. Ultimately, they succeeded in recovering my entire investment, restoring my financial stability, and rekindling my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital age. This experience has imparted invaluable lessons about vigilance and the importance of seeking help when navigating the dangerous currents of cryptocurrency. Tech Cyber Force Recovery has proven to be a beacon of hope for those ensnared in the web of crypto fraud, demonstrating that recovery is indeed possible with the right support and expertise.

Crusaders CEO on the next stage of club's dramatic turnaround

Last month, I faced a nightmare scenario when the entire balance of SOL I held in my MetaMask wallet was abruptly transferred to an unknown address. One moment, my funds were secure; the next, they’d vanished without a trace. I frantically reviewed my transaction history, double-checked permissions, and scanned my devices for malware, but found no obvious breach. Panic turned to despair as I realized my savings accumulated through years of cautious investing were gone. Desperate for answers, I contacted MetaMask support, only to be told that their team couldn’t reverse or trace decentralized transactions. They speculated that my wallet had been compromised, possibly via a phishing scam, a malicious dApp, or a leaked recovery phrase, but I couldn’t pinpoint where I’d gone wrong. Feeling helpless, I combed through Reddit threads and crypto forums, where I stumbled upon TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ , a service hailed for its success in reclaiming stolen assets. Though skeptical after all, everything I’d read suggested crypto theft was irreversible I decided to take a leap of faith and submitted my case details, including transaction IDs and wallet addresses. Their team responded within hours, outlining a meticulous plan to trace the stolen SOL across the blockchain and collaborate with exchanges to intercept the funds. Over the next week, TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT provided daily updates, revealing how the thief had funneled my SOL through a labyrinth of wallets to obscure its trail. Using advanced blockchain forensics, they identified patterns linking the movement of funds to a known exchange. By working with legal teams and platform security, they flagged the stolen crypto before it could be liquidated. Their expertise and determination were evident as they navigated the complexities of the blockchain, piecing together the puzzle of my stolen assets. Against all odds, their relentless efforts paid off: within 9 days, they recovered 100% of my stolen SOL and safely redirected it to a new, fortified wallet. This experience taught me the importance of vigilance in the crypto space and the value of seeking help from experts when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. I learned that while the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency offers many advantages, it also comes with risks that require constant awareness and proactive measures.
