Speculation and discussion on Bills final roster cuts

I feel like Cam Lewis has more utility to this team than Kaiir Elam, given that the former can play two positions and is a standout special teamer, and the latter is 4th string at his position and is not a standout special teamer.

I'm not predicting that they cut Elam, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they traded him and Lewis made the team.

Cam “can’t knock the ball down on 4th and forever” Lewis?

 

No freaking thank you.

Keep Kyle for continuity and sign/trade for a vet who is younger, and better,than Barkley. My concern; if Josh misses game (s) will we have a backup that can keep the team afloat?

If we get a QB better than Barkley then by default he’s immediately better than Allen. So really, there’d still be no need to keep Allen.

Cut Kyle Allen. Sign a QB who doesn’t suck so much to be #2. Sign Hailee Steinfeld to the PS. Best of both worlds.

Anybody has a clue why Beane cut 7 players yesterday but nobody so far today?

To keep that thread clean I'll comment here.

 

I'm wondering if Dean Marlowe makes it to the PS.

The RB PS spot is a tough choice.  I can make an argument for Evans and Johnson.

Don't forget about Mims. He looked good as well. I would think one of Marlowe or even Zayne Anderson end up on PS as well.

I hope Alex Austin is brought back to the PS

Joel Wilson looked interesting in limited time.

Speaking about Austin, anybody knows how it works if he (or any other rookie for that matter) ends up on PS and then later in season is signed to 53? Does he get "original" 4-year rookie contract, or that contract ends with his first release and he needs to sign completely new one?

Keeping discussion here as @BuffaloBillyGrequests. 
 

I bet Shavers makes the Practice Squad. I don’t think he’s valuable enough to get picked up by a team, but he has good physical talent and is someone to stash and develop.

If he clears waivers his original rookie contract is dropped and he becomes an UFA.

So by my count, the Bills are at 16 cuts as of now. Looks like Shorter probably made the team.

I mean he was their 5th round pick. I would hope they'd keep him.  He can be WR5 or 6

with Quessenberry cut, perhaps the Bills have their eye on a veteran OT? 

[boyst]

The whole dump on Elam thing is legit. McDermott can coach CB'S. he got a lot out of some underwhelming guys and I really wanted Bradberry here.

 

But, it's too early to give up on Elam for anything less than a quality player and a 3rd. The prob is CB's don't have the value to trade for LB or OL like we need.

 

If anything wait until the deadline and package him up for a 3rd

I think Van Denmark won the job clean

maybe so, but I'd think a veteran to fill the spot Shell left

Ike being released is surprising. He will get picked up by someone quickly.
