[The_Philster]

Here's a list I gathered of the most notable cuts from yesterday.
Atlanta Falcons
RB Maurice Smith ....wasn't he starting for them recently?
DT Maa Tanuvasa
Arizona Cardinals
DE Jarrett Procell ...ex-Bill
Cleveland Browns
TE Rickey Dudley ...always had the dropsies in Oakland
G Tre Johnson
Dallas Cowboys
LS Trey Junkin ...another ex-Bill
Detroit Lions
CB Terry Fair ...I think he started for them for a while
Houston Texans
DE Dorian Boose
Jacksonville Jaguars
WR Darnay Scott
FB Detron Smith
Miami Dolphins
DT Ernest Grant
Minnesota Vikings
G Orlando Bobo
WR Sean Dawkins
New England Patriots
WR Fred Coleman ...ex-Bill
New Orleans Saints
RB Terry Allen
Oakland Raiders
LB Greg Biekert
Philadelphia Eagles
QB Tim Hasselbeck ...ex-Bill
RB Rod Smart ..."He Hate Me"
Pittsburgh Steelers
QB Tee Martin
San Francisco 49ers

That is thin....not a one we could use.

We let go of Leonard Henry, which I thought was a surprise. He had a great camp and performed pretty well. I guess just not well enough. He may be on our PS, but if you need RBs, he is a solid one.

We are begiining to see the salary cap come full circle. A few years back, it wasn't unheard of that big name players were dropping out of the trees because of salary considerations.

Because of this, the better compensated vets have either been released in June or they have accepted lower salaries to remain.

Thus, slim pickings on the FA front this time of year

We're carrying 4 Tailbacks as it is...to go along with the two fullbacks.

The guys I would like to see taken our:
Tre Johnson
Joe Salavaee
Chad Cota

w26 I agree on Salava'e and Johnson. Only problem with adding those 2 is who do we release? Burns and Pucillo? Pucillo would probably last through waivers and we could put him on our practice squad I think.

I disagree with Cota though. Prioleau is good enough as a starter I think and Driver will contribute more on special teams than Cota would IMO.

Reggie McGrew is out there too. He's a former 1st round pick. DT who is 6'1" 312lbs. Not too old either.

[JefftheBillsfan]

go get Beikert!! he is a solid MLB...unless he is hurt...

[DraftBoy]

Biekert signed with minny i think. Cota I would bring in to be a backup. As for who to release, I would say Farris, and Ahonutu. I would rather have a DT than DE.

[JefftheBillsfan]

yeah i just read...beikert did sign earlier today.

McGrew is a horse. He's really slow too, but really strong.
