Wagon Circler Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Ron McDole. They thought he was over the hill. Gave the Redskins another five pro bowl years.
Tuco Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 By 1996 four-time Super Bowl starter Glenn Parker had become the whipping boy of fans and media both. He was cut by the Bills in 1997, went on to KC where he started 16 games en route to a 13-3 divisional championship. In 2000 after the Chiefs released him he went to the Giants and started 13 games in a 12-4 season, going on to lose his 5th Super Bowl. Â

Â Â The Coach ripped into him heavily every afternoon on WGR for the declining years. That helped W.B. status shuffle along? The fat girl down the block is better at blocking. Â Hit once and flops on the field like a $2 *****
The Jokeman Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Most of those mentions weren't cut but not re-signed. In terms of actual cuts I could argue guys like Ahmad Rashad, Brian Jordan or Martin Mayhew but am sure are others but these were the first names that came to me.
row_33 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Snowflake fans complaining about negative coverage have NO CLUE how entertaining and vicious it got for the Kelly decline.
SoTier Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Code name : Spaceman  Code name: Beast Mode. He was the best Bills RB since OJ Simpson ... and the asshat Bills gave him away.  Bills were an underrated developmental league squad for RBs that helped out in playoff runs at their next gig.  They're still a developmental league squad for DBs. Draft 'em high or develop them from low picks/free agents and give 'em away.
Nanker Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 The worst cuts of all occurred at 875 South Bundy Drive Los Angeles, CA in June, 1994.
prissythecat Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Andy Levitre  This board did have a lack of respect for Levitre  But either way, Levitre wasn't cut. He was a free agency loss because Bills weren't interested in overpaying... It turns out the Bills were right on that front.

Adam Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I don't know where I'd rate it, but I think we had a running back named Anthony Gray in the late 1990's. Looked really good and got cut

You're right, most of them weren't cut. Like Ahmad Rashad. LOL
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Honestly i would say Ryan Fitzpatrick. The guy would have really helped us when we had EJ as our starter and I think is better than Kyle Orton. I am a self confessed Fitz fan however so maybe i'm a bit biased. I won't put him as the biggest but it's a good point. Fitz would be a perfect mentor to a young qb. It was a great move for TB to help dumb Jameis. Â And lots of good responses. But honestly, every team can do this. If you have a great qb and/ or coach, these bad cuts don't hurt as much.
Webster Guy Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Pat. Â Heart and soul of the team, great community guy, had tons left in the tank. That was a Patriots type move-- out thinking themselves.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Joique Bell or Kumar Aiken are examples of cut players that did well elsewhere
That's No Moon Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 No, Smerlas was cut. He held a huge grudge against Marv Levy afterwards. The Bills thought Jeff Wright could pick up the slack. Wright wasn't terrible, but he wasn't Smerlas...was a little too light. Smerals played two or three more seasons with the 49ers. Smerlas was a Plan B free agent, not the same as cut. If we are allowing Plan B to count Ronnie Harmon needs to go on the list based on his productivity after he left - not that anyone missed him at all. Also can't forget the circumstances around the team after 1989. There was a lot of house cleaning to get malcontents out of the locker room. That year alone saw Chris Burkett released during the season after he held out during camp, Smerlas and Harmon put on Plan B after the season. Smerlas was a pain in the ass his entire career. Â Also, McDole wasn't cut he was traded, that doesn't count. Â How about Ahmad Rashad? I'm not sure about the technicalities behind his leaving Buffalo other than he got hurt in 1975 and ended up in camp with the expansion Seahawks in 1976 who traded him to Minnesota where he made 4 Pro Bowls. No mention of Kamil Loud Gibran Hamdan
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Joique Bell or Kumar Aiken are examples of cut players that did well elsewhere ...Bell was let go in favor of Tashard "USDA" Choice.......oh boy............
jethro_tull Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 no matter how he left the team letting London Fletcher go was one seriously boneheaded moves by the Bills! he played at a high level for the redskins for (7) seasons (after 5 with the Bills) and his stint with the skins included (4) pro bowls.
