Bobby Hart........ Safe again.

[Warcodered]

I'd think Lance Lenoir has a good shot at the PS.

[WMDman]

WOW surprised about lenoir he looked pretty good

[Mat68]

I could see Lenior and Thompson back on practice squad.  

[Demongyz]

Lenoir may get picked up by another team.  I think I lot of our WR's could.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Adams is a surprise too!

[WMDman]

Ya they could be trying to get a couple of these guys to PS before final cuts

Devey and Hart still here, Lenoir and Adams already out. This must be the higher maths. Anything beyond algebra confuses the hell out of me.

[Blainorama5]

Wonder if some of these guys fall into the "we're doing you a favor" category?  Maybe giving them a chance to get picked up by another team?

Position matters

Or they may be giving him a chance to sign onto another teams active roster before the season starts.  They did that with a few Vets that had good tape out there if I recall correctly.  Long term helps get vets in the door because they know the team will help them even it if its not with them.

Releasing 5 players when you don't have to before a preseason game is such bad management.  Wonder what player will end up hurt that you planned to rely upon for the regular season.  These are 5 guys that should have been getting a ton of time on Sat.

We need bodies to play most if not all of the Packers game so we don't get anyone valuable hurt before the regular season. 

[BillsFanThru-N-Thru]

Only Lenoir is a little bit of a surprise, but truly with the amount of very good receivers on the team I guess not such much.  Thompson was good but the other backup safeties have played better, and Adams has done nothing to impress me unlike the other backup linebackers on the roster who have

The reason you cut him now is (a) you know he's not making the 53 but (b) you don't want other GMs to think he was one of your final cuts -- even though he is more valuable than players still on the roster.  It's some low-level Beane strategery to try and sneak him onto the PS.

IMO if you have a player you've seen enough out of, whom you'd like to put on the PS, this is the time to cut them. Makes sense to cut someone now while teams are still evaluating their rosters, might make them hesitate to put in a waiver claim.
