Ex Bills on other rosters

[marck]

I was reviewing the injury list for Sunday and saw that Cody Ford is out for the Cardinals and Mario Addison is doubtful.

 

My point is the Bills improved their roster by cutting ties with players who are having no impact in the league

 

AJ Klein - Not on a team

Emmanuel Sanders - Retired

Cole Beasley - Not on a team

Darryl Williams - Not on a team

Levi Wallace - 4th CB in Pittsburgh

Star Loutilie - Retired I guess

Harrison Phillips - Back-up DT in Minnesota

Jerry Hughes - Back-up DE in Houston

Vernon Butler - Cut by Raiders

Matt Hawke - On Colts

Bills moved on from those 12 players and improved the roster with new talent added thru the draft or free agency.

Wow Jerry Hughes and Harrison Phillips are backups? Surprised. 

Would love to bring back Cole Beasley on a cheap 1 years deal.

That bridge has clearly been burnt. Even if it wasn’t such a move would make zero sense. Shakir will most likely be better than Cole and he wasn’t even active.

Sounds like Beasley wanted out of Buffalo.  Now that might have been based on his assumption his phone was going to be ringing off the hook last March.  Now that it didn't happen, maybe he's thinking Buffalo doesn't sound that bad.

 

Didn't realize that Wallace dropped down to #4

Feliciano - NYG - starting C

Antonio Williams - NYG - 3rd RB

 

Happy Williams made the 53 for the G-men. I like his running style.

[Rc2catch]

Maybe I’m out of the loop or getting info from the wrong spots but Harrison is supposed to be the starting NT in Minnesota, Hughes starting in houston.. 
But to the point yes they moved on from some of the veterans, and probably one year too late for some of them. 

[Brand J]

Von Miller just equaled the number of sacks (2) that Hughes had in 17 games last season. Jerry could get pressure, he just wasn’t bendy, fast, or strong enough to seal the deal.

only "starters" being a Feliciano (for how long ?) and the punter whom the fanbase felt was "ungodly" and only got the opportunity in Indy when the incumbent got hurt...

Hughes and Phillips are both pencilled in as starters to open the season.

And Hughes and Phillips. 

 

EDIT: you missed Mario Addison who IS a backup in Houston.

A rookie that didn't dress would most likely be better than a vet that caught 82 passes in each of the past 2 seasons?

 

You can't make this ***** up.

Not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, but just because some of those guys aren't on a team it doesn't mean they aren't as talented as guys currently on rosters. A lot of it has to do with their age, salaries, the cap, and GMs preferring guys they drafted.

 

[WMDman]

Im suprised Darryl Williams hasnt been picked up, he has gaurd/tackle flexibility and is decent at both

Very bad decision by Wallace,  this one will haunt  him for years 

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

I could see the Bills bringing back Daryl Williams if we have an injury at guard before Ike Boettger is healthy.

Yes, don't think his house sold yet.  Not too late to set up snow plowing for that long driveway.

[boyst]

I'd consider Williams as a PS guy. But his body isn't built for football. Same with Feliciano.

 

Butler would be the first call I'd make on DL if someone went down. The guy was serviceable. 

[947]

Hughes is supposedly starting in Houston, with Mario Addison backing him up.

Why lie?  google is easy.  
 

Hughes and Phillips are both starters.

He hasn't. He is the #1 backup on the outside. The #3 is the slot.

They aren't

The op to whom you're replying is just trying to minimize the impact ex-Bills have on other rosters.

He also left off Jon Feliciano, who is starting at C for the Giants

Ah, No.  First off, Beasley doesn't wanna play on a cheap deal. 

 

Second, the Bills need a slot receiver for the future.  It's an important role in the Bills offense. 

 

Crowder is 4 years younger and McKenzie is 6 years, and they both need a chance to build rappore with Allen to see if they can hold down that role for now while Shakir develops for the future.
