Re: Merz waived.. Butler, A-Train, Wire contracts terminated.

With the opening of free agency looming at the end of the week, Buffalo got their roster in order by releasing three veteran players and a young offensive lineman Wednesday.

Veteran tailback Anthony Thomas, cornerback Jerametrius Butler and linebacker Coy Wire were all terminated as vested veterans. Aaron Merz, a third-year lineman was waived. He had missed the entire 2007 season due to shoulder surgery.

The moves are at least partly designed to provide the club with more money to spend in free agency this weekend. All three players had a year remaining on their existing contracts with the team.

And Wire's career might be over:

Coy Wire's departure was due to a failed physical. Wire had recently undergone neck fusion surgery this offseason. Playing a high impact position like linebacker, Wire's football future is admittedly a bit uncertain.

I think Wire will be back if he heals 100%

It wasn't Brad Butler, so we only lost one O Lineman - Merz. But I'm surprised he and Wire were released.

Oh, sorry, didn't realize it was a failed physical with Wire.

Butler and Atrain were predictable cuts.... but im a little suprised about Merz eventhough he didnt play i thought he had potential- Wire im surprized at- sure he was injured all of last year but he was a good Special teamer and i thought when he had the chance a decent SS LB for depth- dont know what his contract was like though

Hopefully it's b'cse they are getting ready to go after a big name that we may need. And to bring people to Buffalo, we will likely have to overpay.

But in all likelihood, we will get Coy Wire back at minimum vet. I doubt another team goes after him...

I hope to hell its Briggs. Word is SF isnt actually even in the running for him.

What a diff he would make to us.

Its a pipe dream, but hey, why not dream.
