LeGOATski Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 no, they have 3 active and one on PS. He wasn't active Sunday. Not eligible for PS so he's just taking up a roster spot. Makes sense, I guess. Cierre Wood looked decent in those last couple preseason games.
K D Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 nice use of a 4th round pick Doug. i'm guessing Karlos made him expendable but what happens if one of our guys goes down? we don't have a backup for McCoy now (fast shifty type runner)
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Makes perfect sense. You don't hold on to your 4th string, inactive RB, when you have someone who looks to be of comparable talent on your PS, when you need to re-roster your best player. Further, if the Bills thought that this was likely to be the move that was going to free up a roster spot for Dareus' return, it was absolutely the right thing to do to release Fred when we did, rather than roster him for a week, and then cut him now. If we knew we were going to cut both guys, we absolutely did it in the best order.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 Why not release IKE? No one's going to pick him up for their roster and he'd be better served on the Bills' PS. Doesn't count against the 53 while suspended
NoSaint Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Why not release IKE? No one's going to pick him up for their roster and he'd be better served on the Bills' PS. hes not part of our 53. im surprised by this one, but not upset. he seemed like cheap insurance, and as an expiring contract wouldve been in our comp pick equation next year, but they are up close and personal on this decision.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 #rogue So rogue he didn't even notify himself.
Chandler#81 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Cue the Whaley haters ragging on the trade. But wait, does that mean Fred's release wasn't because Whaley was trying to save face? Love the humor -and didn't buy a single word of the #rogue shtick, but I didn't see this coming. Makes sense, though. He'll be picked up quickly, I suspect.. hes not part of our 53. im surprised by this one, but not upset. he seemed like cheap insurance, and as an expiring contract wouldve been in our comp pick equation next year, but they are up close and personal on this decision. yes, he (IK) is.
LB3 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Cierre Wood has to be ecstatic about this. Someone goes down, he's likely on the active roster. Whaleys loves his multiple W's. 5 Williams 3 Wood(s) Edited September 15, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall
bladiebla Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Why not release IKE? No one's going to pick him up for their roster and he'd be better served on the Bills' PS. Ike doesn't count towards the roster as he's serving a suspension.

If we knew we were going to cut both guys, we absolutely did it in the best order. all that, and of course a variety of issues that actually mattered i had been saying to look at the guys at the bottom of the roster with less than 4 years accrued to be the one the reaper visited, and not the vet DT. yes, he (IK) is. while he (IK) is suspended, no.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Why not release IKE? No one's going to pick him up for their roster and he'd be better served on the Bills' PS. IK doesn't count against the 53 man roster while suspended. To activate Dareus, they have to cut someone who counts on the 53.
K-9 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 And to think Perry's Ice Cream built an ad campaign around him. They are gonna be pissed! GO BILLS!!!

Aah, yes! I stand corrected. I don't recall this amount of roster manipulations/shennanigans in past years -and we've only played one game..
stony Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Well, Bryce knowing ya... heyyyyyy ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Juice_32 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 That Doug Whaley is a tough nut to crack. Cierre Wood looked pretty good to me...
djp14150 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I understand the decion---don't agree with it. You are saying he was player #53 in the depth chart---no. I would have released Fluellen. They waived him then resigned him and then brought him on the roster.
Nihilarian Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I think that he goes to Houston or Dallas. good, let him fumble there
