SCBills Posted May 9 Posted May 9 1 hour ago, skibum said: Am I crazy, or is this by far the worst roster on paper we have had since the drought? QB - Elite TE - One of the best units in the NFL RB - One of the better units in the NFL, with a pro-bowl RB and a 4th Round rookie addition OL - On paper, and with Kromer leading it, likely a Top 12 group DT - Very good 4 man rotation on paper with Oliver, Jones, Johnson & Carter (Better than last year) DE - Depends on Von being able to give us Floyd's production LB - On paper, if Milano is fully healthy, one of the best tandems in the NFL with good depth NCB - One of the best slot corner in the league CB - Douglas & Benford are a good duo. Depth dependent upon Elam. Not sure I see "worst roster on paper since...". In many areas I believe we are as good, or better, than last year. The two massive question marks to lend credence to your statement are if we fall on our face at WR and Safety. Both units adding an unproven high pick at the position, to go with veterans. Samuel & Shakir having a good bit of upside, with Rapp/Edwards at safety being more JAG types who we hope excel in our system. 1 3 Quote

BillsFanForever19 Posted May 11 Author Posted May 11 UB LB Joe Andreeseen has been signed to the roster after his Rookie Minicamp tryout. This leaves one open roster spot. Though bottom of the roster releases could be done if they decided to sign more than one player between now and Training Camp. 1 Quote

That is, unless a bunch of best case scenarios occur and addition by subtraction really applies. Slight exaggeration? That is so nonsensical it cannot be considered hyperbole Quote

And his agent is going to direct him to a team that is either going to straight up give him the job or to a team that has an inexpensive starter that doesn't have a secure grasp on the starting job for an even and open competition for a starting job. Not to a team like us that has a guy on an expensive, unlikely to be cut contract, and a firm position on the 53. Edited May 13 by BillsFanForever19 1 Quote

Included are all reported Undrafted Free Agents. We currently have two roster spots open, as Travis Clayton gets a roster exemption for Camp being an International Pathway Program player: QB: Josh Allen #17 Mitch Trubisky #11 Shane Buechele #6 RB: James Cook #4 Ray Davis #22 Ty Johnson #26 Darrynton Evans #37 Frank Gore Jr. #20 - Reggie Gilliam #41 WR: Keon Coleman #0 Curtis Samuel #1 Khalil Shakir #10 Mack Hollins #13 Justin Shorter #18 Chase Claypool #14 Quintez Cephus #81 K.J.

He'll have a "chance", just like anyone in Training Camp does. But he's a longshot. I think they view him like a Brandin Bryant before him. A guy they like enough that he always has a spot on the Practice Squad and is generally the first to get called up if there's an injury. But they feel fairly safe putting him there. If he gets pulled away to a 53 (as he did briefly with Atlanta last year), they're happy for him. But they know he'll always find his way back. We kept 6 last year, but that was just because of Von's injury and the guys we had under contract/Drafted that we felt we couldn't lose. Usually the numbers 4 or 5. I think we keep 5 this year. Groot, Von, and Epenesa are locks. Solomon being a 5th Round Pick (and a steal there) is pretty safe in my eyes. That leaves one spot for Smoot, Toohill, or Kingsley. Smoot signed a 2.5m contract with 1.75 guaranteed and is a much more productive player with much more experience. I think he gets the last spot. I even think Toohill has a better chance than Kingsley does. If they truly felt that Kingsley had earned a spot on the 53 after last season, they wouldn't have Drafted Solomon and signed Smoot post Draft, after signing Toohill earlier in Free Agency. They'd have passed on one or two of those. Edited May 13 by BillsFanForever19 Quote
BillsFanForever19 Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 With the addition of MVS, the roster is now at capacity for Training Camp. Any additions made from here will have a roster cut following it. Quote
