2007 Buffalo Bills Roster distribution

[G. Host]

First of all I do not think this is the final roster. They will look at cuts, find someone they like and make changes some after week 1 so they do not need to guarentee salary for entire year.

Here is the roster distribution:
2 Kickers
8 OL
2 QB
5 RB
4 TE
5 WR
5 CB
6 DE
5 DT
7 LB
5 S

2 Kickers, 24 offense, 28 defense

One of the inactive every week slots was saved for Denney which I think makes sense. One of the DEs is also a snapper which saves a spot but the Bills are still using 11 spots for defensive line but some of those players will be special teamers as well. None of the OL are rookies which is suprising but I guess that is because of the veteran splurge and signing of three rookies last year.

They kept only 4 TEs and no FBs for their TE/FB/HB scheme so I am guessing they will go with 2 RBs in some schemes. The extra safety was kept because he was the best of the special teamers as was the extra RB.

Who is on the bubble depends on who is released. I can see Bills replacing 1-2 players week 2 of the season putting trying to shift players to PS.

Re: 2007 Buffalo Bills Roster distribution

I'm surprised that they only kept 5 WRs...

Re: 2007 Buffalo Bills Roster distribution

George Wilson can play WR in a pinch since he was a WR before being a safety.

Re: 2007 Buffalo Bills Roster distribution

still cant believe how long we had a specialist long snapper on the team. what a waste of a roster spot.

Re: 2007 Buffalo Bills Roster distribution

Mario Haggan is a better fit for a 3-4 defense on the outside. I'm surprised he's still here.

Re: 2007 Buffalo Bills Roster distribution

Note; of the numbers I posted 1 of the 28 defense slots was for Hargrove which is why the numbers add up to 54. Sorry for confusion.

2 Kickers + 24 offense + 27 defense = 53
If Hargrove does not need to have additional time tacked on for police incident Bills will need to cut another player.
