    Shocking News: Bills CUT Former 1st rounder, Erik Flowers!



    Aug. 19, 2002
    Bills cut loose DE Flowers
    The Bills reshuffled their undermanned defensive line by signing veterans Shawn Price and Chidi Ahanotu, but they opened a roster spot by releasing 24-year-old defensive end Erik Flowers, the 26th player selected in the 2000 draft. Flower's release was expected because he had fallen onto the third team in the defensive line rotation before the signings of Price and Ahanoto. The 273-pound Flower only started six games in two seasons and had only four sacks. The Bills invested a first-round choice in Flowers with the hopes of developing him into an every down pass-rusher. Foot problems slowed him, and his playing time diminished once Gregg Williams took over as head coach last season.

            Yeah, not shocking at all. He's done nothing to prove he belongs in the NFL.
            It's nice to have a real quarterback again.

              So, who's next? I say Leif Larson or Traveres Tillman. This would make Sammy Morris the ONLY remaining player left from the 2000 Draft.

                My guess would be cuts at WR.

                          He had his 15 minutes of fame, time for him to move on. Goodbye now, see ya later, don't let the door hit you in the ass, on your way out.
