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?

I think so. They look like guys who weren't going to be on the 53 but could legimately get a job elsewhere

I would give you an honest answer, but he does have video of me wearing a Dolphins hat a couple of decades ago and I was also singing the praises of Zima...

 

...some mistakes you just can't outrun.  

 

I wish you could just live your life and be the best "you" you can be.

I dont want there to even be a a chance he could be on the field protecting our franchise QB........injuries happen

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.

Most 53 man roster predictions in recent weeks had Tyrell Adams as a lock to make the team but that was before Andre Smith emerged so definitely would put him in that category and wouldn't be surprised if he's not signed by another team very quick.

Lyndon, respectfully, how many younglings around here probably don't even know what Zima is (was) until they look it up?

 

Honestly, it is not worth your time, but jeepers it was huge years ago...and then died.

First step for all these guys is the waiver process tomorrow.  Then they all become FAs hoping to get their agents to find them a home

on a teams 53.  If Adams (and the other Bills cuts) get this far I'm sure most would want to get signed by the Bills PS.

The only exceptions would be guys signing on other PSs which are weak in their position on the 53.

 

Last few seasons a whole bunch of the Bills cuts went right onto the PS.

I'm hoping that happens again this year!

What are you talking about? Teams were required to cut 5 players today . Might see starters play more this week.

 

We put 5 players on the COVID reserve list, which put us down to the required 81.  We are now at 76 players, five less than what was required.

Considering they had to cut 5 guys - not sure what this post means.

 

Every team has to get down to 80/81 by today - so we’re the Bills supposed to not do that?

 

The Bills are at 76 with 5 players on the COVID reserve list.

Seeing how they are required to get down to a lower number, this makes no sense.  On the other hand, have seen worse takes this week.

Surprised Allen made the cut after Trubiskys game. Never shoulda gave that much GTD $, now were stuck!

[ngbills]

Some guys released to give more of a chance to sign elsewhere. 

 

Some kept because we need bodies for next week.

Well considering they have to by 4pm today.  Would that still be bad management?

 

 

And for those complaining Hart is still here.  How many Healthy Tackles do the Bills have RIGHT now?

Technically the team could place the 5 players sent home today, onto the covid reserve/list.  However, when eligible to return in 5 days, then they'd have to make the cuts.  

 

Perhaps a professional courtesy if they already knew who would be cut, giving the players time to sign elsewhere

Again, they did not have to cut players because of the 5 guys on COVID reserve.  We could have had all these players for Sat, and cut them after the game.

Again, they got down to the number by the 5 on COVID reserve.  They are now 5 below the number they need to be

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

 

Do you think this is making him an early cut to "devalue" him to other teams?
