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

Q-Berry could sign to the PS as well, be he looks washed up. 

[John from Riverside]

Probably would never happen, but I would totally go for a Elam for linebacker Rodriguez trade

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

I was thinking that too, now that I heard Shavers was cut.

Do we keep 9 or 10 OL? 
 

Dawkins   Van Demark
McGovern  Edwards

Morse  
Torrence   Bates

Brown     Veteran
 

Gouraige? Alec Anderson?

[No_Matter_What]

Seems that both Van Demark and Anderson have made the team. Makes me very happy. Means that they are giving young players a chance and that you can actually earn your roster spot.

Could ike be a guy they bring back after someone gets placed on IR? Doesn't have to go through waviers

 

I know he hasn't had a good camp but seems like a good depth piece

The old Ryan Bates method of making the team.

Some speculating Reid Ferguson will get cut for a day so they can get Spector to in-season IR giving them the option of bringing him back at some point during the year.  Then will resign Ferguson again tomorrow. Perfect candidate since he has no guarantees in his contract and is not subject to waivers.

This team has an addiction to below average depth LB's that never see the field

Cover One saying that Anderson is making the team.

Gouirage was cut with intention of bringing him back on the PS as found in the cut thread...Anderson made the team

Report that Shorter makes the team.  Only chance for the other WRs is if Shakir is going to IR for 4 games.

So what determines whether or not someone is subject to waivers?  I noticed that comment make about some veterans, and some rookies.

He does see the field, on ST. Backup LB's typically have a very large role on Special teams.

[Mark Vader]

How many more cuts do the Bills need to make?

"Players with fewer than four accrued seasons in the NFL are subject to waivers, meaning any other team can claim them. Veterans with four or more accrued seasons in the league, however, are released instead of waived, making them free agents who can sign with any team of their choosing."

Good news apparently Justin Shorter has made the 53 man roster I like the kid. 

[MikePJ76]

Seems the bills whether by design, because the talent warrants it or maybe because the top heavy salary cap numbers demand it are going with some youth.

 

Youth makes less money but brings more mistakes generally.  When you have superstars like this team does you have to essentially do this and cut veteran backups and save where you can.

[BearNorth]

uStadium twitter site has Shaq Lawson as a cut.  Hmm

It is the KC Chiefs way to go with the youth over middling costing vets.
