Looking at the roster, it would be an OL, DE, or CB. Most likely either Germain Ifedi, Alec Anderson, Kingsley Jonathan, or Cam Lewis. But it's hard to see a number of those players being released. Ifedi maybe?

Cam Lewis has been getting decent playing time. Doubt it will be him.

I do too. We have 7 CB's which seems 1-2 too many on aberage. But the bottom of the depth chart in Neal and Lewis are too valuable on Special Teams. And Neal is the only other backup Nickel. So I don't really see either of them being cut. 

 

We have 10 OL, which is probably on average 1 too many. And Ifedi has been inactive every game and could probably be snuck on the PS at this point. So I think he's the most likely candidate.

 

I'd have listed Baylon Spector, but we have 5 LB's on the roster and that's kind of the minimum amount you need already.

Someone could go to IR, such as Hamlin, Hyde or Ty Johnson.

It’s a week to week league.  Guys get hurt every week.  They’ll address it next week.

Yeah I meant the trade. I never heard any rumors of it which is why I was asking. 

Expand  

I’m thinking that even though an offer “may have” been made it was of no interest to Beane in which the organization still wants him on board.

I agree. And I dont doubt that one bit. I’m just curious about the trade rumor out there at the deadline. Was the first I heard that rumor.

You also have players that are active every game that can go in right tackle
 

This is probably a good guess

[No_Matter_What]

My guess is that this is it for this week.

 

Daquan won't play vs Pats and won't be on the roster.

 

After the game they will decide what to do with Shorter and Jones. There might be injuries which will make things (unfortunately) easy.

 

If nothing bad happens, my guess is that either Spector or (more likely) Jonathan will be released. Or Ford maybe.

[billsfan89]

Nice to see them getting more players back healthy for the stretch run. Elam is depth much better to have a healthy version of him as opposed to Josh Norman on the bench in case of injury.

I think Spector would be a candidate.  I'm thinking they'll release someone they can sneak back onto the practice squad.

[Albany,n.y.]

I'm going out on a limb here: Elam will have an interception in the Super Bowl. 

[freddyjj]

Epenesa or Hyde to IR if Jones gets activated?

There’s no chance in HELL they release Cam Lewis given his role on defense as the first sub at safety and NCB as well as his role on ST.  
 

I agree it’s probably down to Anderson, Ifedi, or Jonathan.  They love the potential of Jonathan and are high on Anderson.  I’m guessing maybe Ifedi thought he was the insurance policy all season.

I thought about that, but it would leave the Bills with only 4 DT, one of whom is just coming back from injury since Jordan Phillips is on IR.

 

They might do that, if they feel Eli Ankou is almost as good as a 1TDT but I think they used him before as more of a 3T?

See, here's the thing: who else they got who can play RT?

 

I'm thinking Jonathan might go on IR.  There are little hints he's playing through something.

Yeah that’s why I wasn’t sure about Ifedi.  Jonathan to IR would definitely make sense.

Yes, Ryan Van Demark is RT2 and Ryan Bates can play across the line. Both players have been active all season.

 

And in the event that Ifedi can't be reclaimed to the Practice Squad, we also have Richard Gouraige there.

 

So yeah, I think Ifedi's the likely choice.

Any of those players would need to be replaced on the roster. Johnson for Fournette. Hyde or Hamlin for another Safety like Norwood from the PS - as we'll want to carry more than just 3 true Safeties.

 

I don't see us carrying just 3 RB's or just 3 Safeties and replacing that open spot with a DT.

Cam Lewis is a safety   There are only 53 spots.  Someone will end up out.
