Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 You didn’t cut Vlad a mere duck ass? 1
sven233 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 There are plenty of names on this list that can be let go without a problem. I know Bills fans aren't used to having real NFL talent as depth, but that is the way good teams are structured. Finally we will have capable replacements if someone goes down and the talent won't just fall off a cliff. Welcome back to having a real NFL roster, guys....... 3

One Buffalo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Competition... having to cut talent instead of fielding scrubs... it is a good problem to have! 1

I think/hope our OL looks like: Dawkins - Teller/Feliciano - Morse - Long - Nehske Bodine - McDermott - Teller/Feliciano Thats a very solid looking OL with good depth. 3
BakersBills Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 It’s actually pretty easy if they take a rb you know one is getting cut. if zay Jones sucks again he can get cut too especially if they take a wr in the first 2 rounds.

As other have said in previous threads............Bodine only plays at Center, keeping him on the roster makes no sense. Spencer Long makes him expendable. He may go to camp but I really doubt he makes the 53.

Won’t be an issue I’ll bet anyone $100 they don’t make 10 picks. I can easily see them trade 3rd and both 4ths and get back into round 2. Some kind of deal like that will happen. That’s what I am thinking. The strength of this draft is on day 2. I would bet anything (assuming that they don’t trade for a vet before) that the Bills pick AT LEAST 4 times before the end of day 2. They want to take 4 guys before pick 100. 1

I've been thinking this for a while and now that we have picked up this many FA's I am even more convinced. We will use our late round picks to move up for specific guys in rounds 1 through 4. 37 minutes ago, SCBills said: Who’s the best punter coming out of college? Might as well use a late pick on him. I think Cory Carter will be our guy. I was excited about him last year (as excited as you can be about a punter anyway). He was crushing the ball in preseason.

I just want to not have the worst punter in the NFL, and i feel like we have settled for that since crossman came on board. 1

This is such a good point, our depth has usually felt a little "hope and a prayer" their are stacks of guys in many spots now- Nice.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Cut Ducasse, Murphy, Zay, DiMarco to start Bodine was actually serviceable last year so I think keeping him would be fine.

We have signed so many free agents this year what do we do with the 10 draft picks? I understand that round 1-3 will be logical understandable choices.......but we have picks AFTER the 3rd round This regime traded up for Dawkins, Jones, Allen, and Edmunds. I doubt we end up with 10 new players from the draft.
jwhit34 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 There's 65 now, easy to cut 12: There's 11 WRs on roster (including Roberts the return guy), easy 5 cuts there 1 RB goes 11 Olinemen - there's 3 more 7 CBs and 5 safeties - they'll probably keep 5 and 4 so cut 3 2 punters 1 goes You're down to 52 and there's 5 DEs and 5 DTs so 2 more cuts there. If you look at the list there's easy cuts in those position groups. Maybe some get picked up but isn't that what you want?

ricojes Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 2 hours ago, Inigo Montoya said: We currently have 65 players on the roster with our new free agent signings. I believe that number includes ten players from last year's practice squad, so more accurately 55 + 10 practice squad. Next month we will be adding ten draft picks to the roster bringing us to 65 + 10. Assuming that only half of our draft picks make the final roster (which I hope is a low estimate) that means we need to cut 17 players from the current roster. Right now available roster spots is becoming a bigger limitation than remaining cap space $$$. Every free agent signed means another cut to the roster. I'm sure Beane is weighing this consideration as he continues to shop for new free agents. Below is a link to a web site called sportrac that lists the entire current 65 man roster. There is a "Release" button next to every player on the roster that allows you to cut players from the roster like you're a GM. There is box on the right hand side of the page that keeps track of your totals. Find 17 cuts on that roster right now to get to 48 roster spots (assuming 5 currently unlisted draftees make the final roster). At some point you're no longer cutting fat, your cutting meat from the roster. It's not easy to find 17 to cut, and once again, that assumes only keeping 5 out of the 10 draft picks. We can roll some cap money over to next year and use to some to extend current players. Looking at it from a roster point of view, I think our free agency is just about done. Maybe Ziggy or one other player and thats it. Who are your 17 cuts from the roster to get to 48? https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tools/roster/buffalo-bills/ Here are mine; (Edited because I cut both of our punters. Inconceivable!)
