Agreed, 4 DEs 3 DT and Jefferson floats between both.

 

I think they will keep Daryl Johnson too. He was our most used ST guy last season.

Having released Smart earlier -Bills likely now going with Jefferson, Butler, Oliver and Phillips (expect Zimmer to be waived).  Decent position group but not over the top scary.  Hope Smart makes it to PS. Need another big dog in there (Dareus anyone?). Beane might go "cut shopping" for a DT.

wait, lee Smith is still on this team?! 

 

Yes he is designated target for irrational bashers.  Aren't you glad the Bills thought of you.


Allen has been very vocal on his praise of Smith and I guess they considered his opinion before yours.

FYI it was already confirmed earlier that he made the roster.

now that is the first real surprise of the afternoon.

 

He is a super solid linebacker from the fighting illini who was an UDFA last year. Bills coaches liked him enough to keep him around and looks like he put in the work. Real feel good story of the camp that noone is talking about

Wow.  Very happy for Gilliam, this is something I thought could really happen.  He's going to be a ST force while learning the TE/FB/H-back combo role.

 

Know next to nothing about Phillips.  This is a surprise.

I am surprised not shocked by Gilliam. I do wonder whether he is really on this roster or this is a Glenn Gronkowski situation where they cut him and bring in a vet in the next week or 2. I definitely was fooled by McDermott downplaying his chances last week.

The only reasoning I have on Phillips is he is more of an outside guy. Matakevich is an inside guy (and here mainly for teams in any event) and Dodson has been playing inside during camp.... maybe it came down to that? They see him more as a backup will maybe?
