I don't know that I look at this team and see any "surprise" cuts. They've already made a number of big moves, and we all know nobody is safe on that OL. I actually think cuts are going to be rather boring this summer.

How long before someone responds "EJ" and this thread becomes a 20 page battle over the QB position?? :oops::oops:

You gone and done it now, Kirby. You had to go and open that can of worms didn't you. Now this will become like 90% of all the other threads. :lol:

I'm thinking the same, this year.

I dunno. I think your new avatar is making some surprisingly big cuts. :P

Chris Williams

Cyril Richardson

Bryce Brown

This actually is a pretty interesting list. I think that Richardson will make strides this year and he is the prototypical "road grader." If he does not thought he could be gone. Chris Williams to me still feels like a placeholder. He is the vet capable of starting until they swing a deal for a better vet. At that point he and his cap savings are gone. Brown is interesting as well. He has a lot of natural ability and has had some success. It is interesting that Rex came out swinging in regards to Brown after being hired. He is either lighting a fire or sending a warning.

 

Some other guys that are "on the bubble" IMO: Goodwin, Hogan, Lawson, Brooks, Meeks and Thigpen.

Lately the EJ discussions have been morphing into DirectTV/Cable/Fios throw downs.

Good additions .. Goodwin is a one trick pony, injury prone... he has an uphill battle. Hogan I think makes the cut ( solid backup WR and good special teamer) ...I think they'll keep Lawson one more year as he has experience being an edge setter/tweener in this type of D scheme ( although .. they may draft his replacement and if that happens he's probably gone) .. Brooks is in same boat as Lawson. Meeks.. Rambo will probably beat him out. .. Thigpen - with Bills adding Percy Harvin and talking to Brad Smith I doubt they'll want to keep him as a return specialist

it's going to be Fred or Bryce and we know Whaley and the personnel guys like Bryce...

 

the only thing saving Fred is the Pegula's and the fact that Rex has labeled Bryce a fumbler

I'd rather see Fred cut than Hogan.

Yeah I said it.........

Everyone knows that I am not a Hogan fan but that isn't why some have him as a bubble guy. He probably makes the team but he is the #4th WR and the 5th to be active on a game day (if that makes sense because Easley will always be active). The Bills were 31st (I think) last year in yards from the slot. That is why they went and got Percy. I do not think that they will keep both Hogan and Goodwin. While Hogan has shown to be more consistent he doesn't offer any skills that make him a difference maker. He is a guy that will only play if there is an injury and even then they may use Clay some lined up in the slot instead.

 

In addition, they have been fascinated with the idea of a "big receiver" for like 2-3 years. If they add that guy in the draft what is Hogan's role? It isn't that he doesn't belong on an NFL roster because he proved last year that he does. He has some upside as well. I am just not sure how much he will see the field. If you are going to only play this guy 5 or so snaps a game (on offense) who will make a bigger impact Hogan or Goodwin? That is something that the coaching staff and FO has to figure out.
