Well 4 pm NY Time is coming up.  I count like 10 cuts yet to be made and guess will get them all in one  big dump.

And bear in mind, there will probably be more after waivers if the Bills make successful claims

I don't think it's fair to say that a guy who had 4 catches for 49 yards in a playoff game last year is not an NFL receiver. It's kind of ridiculous. It actually reeks of an agenda.

He’s a fringe NFL WR.  I could take him or leave him, but if other teams wanted to play him meaningful snaps, we would’ve traded him, not released.

This and the Cam Lewis release speak to the good health of a Norman and a Wallace methinks.

Or McDermott arrogantly thinking he can skate by with extremely thin CB depth for the second year in a row despite injuries throughout the corps.

Eight minutes! Beane working the phones last minute for foster?!

i really dont know why theres such animosity around Duke. He was a long shot to make it here from the start. Didn't make the most of his opportunities but did show some skills.

Josh obviously felt comfortable enough with him to target him so much. I think Isiah Hodgins & Gabriel Davis can fill that bigger bodied wr role this year.

But if Duke can be kept on the PS, I wouldn't be against it.

Frankly, I'll be disappointed if Lee Smith is cut. I know others don't like him, but they are mistaken. He is as good as any TE in the NFL at blocking. I mean, if we aren't going to run the ball, then let him go. Otherwise, he can be useful. Would you really rather keep Croom active after 3 years of nothing?

Any word on McKenzie ? He's a great player too

Croom is already gone.

I don’t have a beef with duke, my anger was mostly over some of his fans on here pretending that he was a game changer or generational talent that had to be on the field.

It will be interesting if the Bills get anyone they put in for (if any).

nope he's at best a 3 or 4 in a WR room but there are teams that need that.

I don't think it's around him. Its around the complete disproportionate social media attention to a fringe roster player, people are tired of the coverage. He gets more typed words than many of the rest of the roster put together

100% we could of used it for some games last year too. But it probably changes nothing in record or stats really if he played or didn’t. I hope he finds a good home, I don’t have any reason to root against him

Croom was cut yesterday. Smith is a very good blocker, a lot of stupid penalties last year especially for a 10 year vet. If we’re going to a spread o, less need for smith too

An me. I think he has a role on this team and he is good at it. It is just a role fans hate. 

[eball]

Apparently Boettger made it, which means perhaps Winters didn't?
