2.) With the new injured reserve rules allowing an unlimited number of players to return from I.R. during the season and players only needing to be on I.R. for a minimum of three weeks, it may impact what the team does with guard Jon Feliciano and fullback Patrick DiMarco. One possible scenario is that one or both make the final 53-man roster, then placed on I.R., and then the team re-signs someone they cut originally. The reason is because if they are placed on I.R. prior to making the final 53-man roster, they would have to be out for the entire season. I don’t see that happening. Feliciano had surgery for a torn pectoral muscle last month and DiMarco hasn’t practiced since the media has been able to attend starting on Aug. 17 due to a neck injury.

 

How did I miss this?  3 weeks?

Agree with Ike B. getting signed to 53 to replace Feliciano's slot.

Maybe Gilliam to replace DiMarco slot.

If Norman is still questionable maybe they add him to IR and go with Cam Lewis to his slot.

I don’t think they will play a season like this with only 3 QBs.

 

I think Fromm stays as the 3rd QB. 
 

also think V. Taylor makes the team.

I could see this team putting Feliciano on the Pup list to start the season and rolling with 9 O-line players and putting Fromm on as the third QB. I think they then will cut the 9th O-line player to make room for Mongo when he is back after week 6. It just doesn't make sense for the Bills to cut Fromm and expose him to waivers. My only other maybe on this roster is will the Bills risk exposing Hodgins to waivers? I like Mackenzie but if Hodgins is playing well why not use him in a similar role? Then again Mac is a proven solid gadget guy who can handle a few plays a game and make an impact which adds a wrinkle to the offense.

Either that or he was so unimpressive  give the third slot to Davis Webb on the 53.

 

I'd be surprised (although anything is possible). Kid has a great football brain on his shoulders. Even if his arm isnt as impressive, I'd be shocked if they let him go so quickly.

He also has that what, "white elite athlete comment" on him

Everyone has moved past that. If that was a factor at all, he would have been cut at the time.

Yeah I'd probably sub Winters out of the line for Dane Jackson at CB

 

If Winters is cut then Beane really missed on this and costs the team 3 million dollars.

You can't PUP someone. They have to come into camp on PUP. They can IR him, but if they want him back this year they can only do that AFTER cutdowns. If they do it before he is done for the year.

OK, guess I didn't realize it was all guaranteed.  Obviously I haven't seen him play, but reading articles; BN, Athletic, etc, all have Winters also being cut. So kind of surprised then and assume it wasn't guaranteed, unless cutting him is still the lesser of the dead cap than others on the line?
