jumbalaya Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 I can't remember a team with so many spots that could be filled by another teams final cuts to start the season without affecting anything. Seriously it would not be a reach for Beane to pick up 4 or more players come final countdown. QB (3rd string) at least 2 WR slots T Linebacker Safety CB All of these positions currently have depth players that are marginal at best. If they play for the 3rd round compensatory pick and drop Holmes, Ducasse, and/or Davis, we could well be over 4 new players come next week.
Paul Costa Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 FO will try and churn the bottom of the roster. Would love to add another quality Safety and 1 more quality receiver. Don't think we find a tackle,linebacker or corner that can step in and help immediately. I'm for rolling with 2 QB's on the 53 and one on the practice squad. If we have to play our 3rd string QB for a extended period of time we will be getting a top 5 2018 pick.
John from Riverside Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 The fact that we released Rambo makes me think there The fact that we have horrible issues on our OL makes me think there We REALLY need a stretch the field wide out
Captain Murica Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 The fact that we released Rambo makes me think there The fact that we have horrible issues on our OL makes me think there We REALLY need a stretch the field wide out We definitely need a deep threat. The OL shouldn't be an issue if they just stopped this Vlad Doo Doo Casse non-sense. Safety needs reliable depth for sure.
Fadingpain Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 The fact that we released Rambo makes me think there The fact that we have horrible issues on our OL makes me think there We REALLY need a stretch the field wide out I'm glad something's finally making you think.
/dev/null Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 QB (3rd string) Unless somebody cuts a veteran backup that presents an upgrade over Yates, I doubt the Bills pick up a QB. Even if Peterman plays lights out in the preseason finale and grabs the #2 job, there's no reason to cut Yates and replace him with anohter project QB

Is it possible that Wenning isn't terrible on Thursday? If so, I have a plan. Cut Yates and Wenning after Thursday. Re-sign Wenning to the practice squad. Go with TT as the #1 and Peterman as the #2 into the season. Of course, if Wenning stinks it up on Thursday, then never mind. Edited August 30, 2017 by Gray Beard

thunderingsquid Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 T, WR and QB3 are huge needs. We'll see what shakes out, this could be interesting. Getcha popcorn ready Saturday!

He has been in the league 9 years and has no business in the NFL. Cut him and bring a younger guy in that has even a glimpse of potential.
John from Riverside Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 I'd add DE to the list as well. We really dont have problems on our DL....that is actually one of the positions of strength
Clemfield2622 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 all those holes and barely any cap room to fill them. This situation is god awful.
NewEra Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 We really dont have problems on our DL....that is actually one of the positions of strength We better sign some one and cut Davis. I don't care how good he is, we need that 3rd rd pick. Add another WR to replace Holmes too. We aren't competing for anything other than a draft position
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 We better sign some one and cut Davis. I don't care how good he is, we need that 3rd rd pick. Add another WR to replace Holmes too. We aren't competing for anything other than a draft position Exactly right!
Marty McFly Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 OT, OT, WR, S, LB, and CB. Cut the players we can for the conditional pick since McBeanes all bout the picks.
