The Buffalo Bills didn't wait until Tuesday Aug. 29 to reduce their roster to the league required 75. The club waived four players a week prior to that cutdown date releasing defensive tackles LaWaylon Brown and Tai Tupai along with offensive tackle Matt Morgan and linebacker Courtney Watson.

Watson is the most recognizable name as he came to the Bills in a trade with New Orleans this past spring in exchange for tight end Tim Euhus. But Watson came into the spring OTAs not only behind in learning the defensive system, but also in his conditioning.

So we gave away Tim Euhus for nothing.

I bet Euhus gets cut from NO too though.

Aren't we getting a little short on LB's at this point?

Spikes (who may be injured)
Fletcher
Crowell
Haggan
Stamer
Ezekiel

Who am I missing?

Wendell Hunter.

Hunter, who has moved past Haggan as the backup to Takeo. Haggan is in danger of being cut.

And hopefully no one picks up Watson, he works on his conditioning, and can contribute to the Bills down the line. I'm still not sold on Ezekiel, but I'd LOVE to be proven wrong.

Re: Wow.. Watson Cut.

I had high hopes for him as a possible replacement for Fletcher. Dissapointing.

Haggen is an animal on ST's. He won't be cut.

Re: Wow.. Watson Cut.

Watson being cut could mean a couple things.

Backup linebackers on this team have to be good special teamers. Maybe Watson was not.

Or, Maybe Ezekiel is just better.

Re: Wow.. Watson Cut.

I've heard a lot of good things about Ezekiel. He must be doing all the right things in practice becasue I haven't seen much from him in the 2 preseason games. He's recorded 2 T / 2 A / and forced a fumble.

4 Bills players released including Courtney Watson

DT LaWaylon Brown and Tai Tupa along with OT Matt Morgan and LB Courtney Watson were released. Not much of an affect on the Bills since Liam Ezekial was ahead of Courtney Watson on the depth chart but the Tim Euhus for Courtney Watson trade was a waist. Especially cas Euhus may be released to in the coming days in weeks being behind Zach Hilton, Ernie Conwell, and Mark Campbell on the depth chart.

Re: 4 Bills players released including Courtney Watson

What was so special about Watson, for the brass to trade for him?
Didn't they know he was out of shape before they traded?
