Who will the Bills release

[The Spaz]

Assuming and most likely Jason Peters suits up on Sunday the Bills have to release a player. Who will it be? I mentioned this in a previous thread what I would do is put Matt Murphy on IR that way we don't get rid of any contributing players. Your thoughts?

[Romes]

Bell...and then they sneak him on to the PS.

Oh man I dunno. That is a good choice I just see him having more ability than Murphy at this point. It could very well happen though. If in fact Bell does get released pray like hell nobody else sees potential in him.

[Mitchell55]

Bell, I hope not. Maybe Scott or Hamdan?

i like the murphy to IR move. but for some reason our coaching staff loves the guy so they might keep him on the 53 so they can hug him or something LOL!

Pozlusney. :drunk:

It should be Murphy to IR--the move I proposed in an earlier thread--but you're right about how attached the coaches are to Murphy.

Still, with Peters now able to man the starting LT spot and L.Walker able to move back to RT, Chambers has shown that he can be useful enough as a back-up starter that they can afford to keep the healthy young and raw kid, Bell, on the roster where he can develop more than the vet who has a bad shoulder but knows the game enough to step in as a back-up in a real pinch. While Murphy can't practice with the team while on IR, he gets his shoulder problem taken care of so that go into next season healthy, the Bills don't risk losing Bell, and Bell gets a season on the roster to learn and develop.

Keeping Murphy means relying on a guy with a bad shoulder to be your 4th tackle and risking losing Bell, who has shown that he has a lot of promise. The only logical reason to do this is if they aren't convinced that Bell will develop and are willing to risk losing him.

It won't be Hamdan, they'll need him when JP's gone.

No way Bell doesn't get picked up if released. He played pretty well in preseason and has the tools to develop. Other teams scout preseason so he will get snagged by someone. The only move is Murphy to ir.

[Mr. Pink]

Murphy would definitely be the logical choice.

But when do the Bills do anything that's logical?

[Sportsuser101]

Losman to the Bears for a 2nd rounder next year :jam:

[chernobylwraiths]

I heard during the week that Murphy was practicing with the team. How would he go on IR then?

I would release Hamden. If Edwards and JP go down then we would need a veteran to give us any chance anyway.

[chernobylwraiths]

we are carrying 5 safeties, 6 defensive ends, and 6 WR I think it will be one of these

[Mr. Pink]

So Scott/Wendling, Ellis or S. Johnson would be your pick to get the axe?

Lowest on the depth chart at each position. I doubt any of them gets the axe...

Murphy is 4th at LT on the depth chart, Bell is 5th....but they like Bell's potential.

[HHURRICANE]

Costanzo. Book it.

[SquishDaFish]

I would go with Hamden. But prob will be one of the 2 OLmen

[DraftBoy]

Hamdan

Sign a QB to our PS then to get our Scout team QB.

[trapezeus]

can't be costanzo....without crowell he's some of our depth. a guy with a nagging injury is getting the IR label. this way we get under and no one can claim him.

[Night Train]

That we have to use our melons over who to cut speaks volumes.

Our roster is getting pretty good.

[bflobarry]

It has to be Bell or Murphy. We will not carry 3 extra Tackles........

[RingofFire]

murphyyyyyyyyy

Don't we get a two week extention? I thought we did. Then it will probably be Blake Costanzat
