Roster Cutdowns (AKA the "Who Should We Sign?" Thread)

[ProbablyWrong]

Rather than having tons of separate posts about the free agents we all want the Bills to sign, I figured I would get us started with a megathread for interesting players.

 

So far, a few players that caught my eye:

Owa Odighizuwa - Former Giants DE, Former 3rd round pick. Hasn't done much in the league, but the Giants have a talented and deep front 4. Young and has some talent. On a 4 game suspension for PED use to start the year.

 

Ron Brooks - Serviceable Backup for us in prior years before signing with the Eagles. With decent CB depth showing up in preseason, probably not worth bringing back.

 

Jah Reid - Another former 3rd rounder; OT most recently with the Chiefs. I don't know much about him, but he hasn't really stuck anywhere. Might be worth grabbing as a backup LT upgrade.

 

Feel free to add more that you're interested in. Not many cuts yet, but I'm sure they will start coming in soon

TE Larry Donnell just released by the Ravens. Had a couple OK years with the Giants, but mostly a JAG. I'd prefer sticking with developmental Logan Thomas, but we'll see what coach prefers.

....agree on Logan.....Fins released 'ol standby backup Urbik but I believe it was an injury settlement..............

Overlooked this one on my first pass... Eagles released WR Paul Turner, a former UDFA who had one big game last year with 6 catches, 80 yards. Only 24 years old. Maybe worth a PS spot.

I don't know if they are getting cut, but Hawks I'd consider if they are.

 

Williams, WR, #18. Made a lot of good catches in PS.

 

Austin Davis, QB. Played very well in PS including a game winning TD late. Much better than Yates

Jeremy Zuttah is back on the market

Would be a G upgrade over Ducasse at the very least.

Will Blackmon, Safety cut from Washington.

Will Blackmon, Safety cut from Washington.

 

He is older, but PFF had him right on the border between "Average" and "Above Average" last year. Could be a solid vet backup, but I do like how our young talent looked in preseason.

Um, Matt Barkley. If he was in camp, he could have pushed for a starting job in this offense.

I liked him coming out of college, but the guy couldn't even beat out Hoyer. I know its the 49ers and they make some questionable decisions, but really?

And the 1st one i see. Bears cut WR Victor Cruz

John Greco, Browns OG. Solid player. Not sure if he fits blocking scheme here but I'd take a flier. Had Lifrac surgery but is supposed to be healthy now

Donnell had a monster game in fantasy points a few years back.

Any WR that can take the top off a defense. Thinking what Jacoby Jones was for Dennison in Houston

....Barkley couldn't push BEER in the Rockpile.......Jesus, we think lower with every cut..............

Wow. Fall from 2011.

OG David Yankey, CB Zach Sanchez, WR Josh Boyce
