Wynn was a great rotational player under Schwartz. Maybe the current staff doesn't think he's a fit. The move to OLB made little sense in the first place and since they got Shaq and Adolphus they won't be needing him. Edited May 2, 2016 by Big C

Thought of that, but wouldn't they wait a bit longer? Like OTAs or minicamps. The other thing that plays into your comment, is maybe Bills and Wynn agreed he was a longshot

Believe me brother, I have an eye on that !! On the other hand he get resigned by the Bills after things shake out for avet min if he has not found a good home yet. Best wishes to him. btw how is Carrington doing these days..

If it was an injury issue, would they be able to release him? He tore his ACL in the first preseason game last August. He was placed on season-ending IR. I know if a player is injured, he can't be cut without an injury settlement and veterans often have injury guarantees in their contracts. OTOH, although Wynn was drafted in 2009 and thus is nominally a 6 year veteran, he kind of kicked around the league, signing with 4 teams mostly as depth. I think it has to do with scheme fit. I was not happy to hear he was being asked to lose weight and play OLB, because you know, that kind of move has just worked so well for the Bills.

Thanks, if he is healed i wonder if Bills have any interest after dumping Wynns salary
Freddie's Dead Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 This move is all about the do-re-mi. They're looking to free up cap space and give us some breathing room. This gets us to the neighborhood of 1.1M after the rookie pool. spotrac shows 95 on the current roster, so we have enough bodies for camp.

Wynn was better than "just ok". It seemed to me that he was a formidal DE - arguably as good as Mario 2 years ago. Wynn will latch on somewhere & play well.

Almost 30 AND he just tore his ACL...
