He’s a tricky one because he seems like the logical choice to get cut, but he has multiple years under Bills control … and there’s no guarantee Epenesa, Floyd and/or Lawson are back next year. 

Kingsley is already a better pure pass rusher than AJ or Shaq IMO

Ankou? 🤔

 

You're welcome. 😁

Did they cut him to make room?

Just remember this conversation. Jonathan will be a productive NFL lineman for us or someone else. Every time he sees the field he’s either pressuring he QB and forcing a throwaway or beating an O-lineman in his one on one battle. He just needs playing time.

He'll be cut in a month or two and back on the Bills' PS by mid-December

 

Or he plays well in Atlanta he earns a nice lil contract from Falcons.  Wish him well and yes if he gets cut likely gets offered a place on our ps again...

no SB...

Jonathan would be signed elsewhere the second he was put on the practice squad.

Good thing the Falcons didn’t notice Von Miller sitting there! That was close! 😉

They cut Ateman, the WR, for Peaches and Herb.

That could be an awkward call back.

Poona Ford. I would have done that in preseason.

 

This is disappointing, Ankou was a monster in preseason and clearly outplayed Ford.

I really do not mind these end of the roster guys. If we were ever at a point where we needed significant contributions out of them, season is probably doomed anyway.

[John from Riverside]

A good player but we can’t keep everybody. It’s a good problem to have.

[buffaloboyinATL]

I have never seen as many players poached off of our practice squad, as I have the past few seasons.  We used to be the ones doing the poaching.
 

it sucks to  lose good prospects, but DAMN it feels good to be at the top of the food chain again!!

[Dr.Sack]

Roster spot means he will get paid more

The Bills are not cutting Jonathan IMO. I think they really like his upside and have a pretty stong belief he wouldn't make it through waivers.

I think this is the Bills' belief too. It happened last year with the Bears and he has some actual live snaps in games since then.

Jonathan is one-dimensional, upfield pass rusher. He gets demolished in the run game. He'll be dropped when Miller is activated (or Ford. Please Ford). Ankou was very good in his appearances against both run and pass.

Tre to IR leaves a spot on the 53 so no one needs to be moved.

Yeah, let's base all our roster decisions on preseason snaps...

After last year?  That's on you...

The better our roster is, the more this will happen.  It's a big position of strength and honestly he probably deserves to be on the field so good for him.
