how many bills starters do you think could make it through waivers?

11-02-2010, 04:12 PM

If the bills were to cut all their starters, how many do you think end up making it through waivers?

of the starting 11 on offense, i think all the skill positions would be picked up including fitz. i think wood and levtre get picked up, but the tackles and center do not.

of the starting 11 of defense, i think florence, mckelvin, pos, stroud, byrd get picked up. everyone else makes it.

Guesses?

Edwards and Williams, off the top of my head, get claimed. So do Whitner, Scott and Wilson.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

None. They'd all be picked up by somebody.

Re: how many bills starters do you think could make it through waivers?

I am saying this from a practical application, after 7 full games, there are a number of teams that are banged up. Therefore, the vast majority of the Bills starting roster would indeed be picked up, IMO. I think two or three would have plenty of trouble latching on somewhere, but other teams would bite!!

kyle williams would be a good pick up for a 4-3 team.

i could buy the argument that banged up teams would pretty much pick up any of our players.

I doubt many. If Edwards got claimed, most of the players on the Bills now would as well.

Without a doubt. The coaches here are just not using him right.

Re: how many bills starters do you think could make it through waivers?

People have to remember that a player waived mid-season comes with a financial obligation.

To those who said "everyone" would be claimed -- you're tellin me that Chris Kelsey would be picked up, at his salary?? Lee Evans at his salary? McKelvin or Whitner at their salary?

The only players who would be picked up, IMO...
-- Steve Johnson, Roscoe Parrish, Eric Wood, Andy Levitre, Fitzpatrick
-- Dwan Edwards, Drayton Florence, Terrance McGee, Jairus Byrd, Kyle Williams, Paul Posluszny.

...And not all of these guys would be picked up to be starters either.

Everyone gets picked up - depth in the NFL is non existent, and the margin between good and bad isnt as wide as we think. The Bills dont have high school players.

I agree, if Trent Edwards got picked up, I will say everyone would.

Re: how many bills starters do you think could make it through waivers?

QB's will get picked up. You have to be insanely bad to not get picked up (russell and others who shall not be named).

The worry about the starter QB durability and the lack of options makes even the rex grossmans go around the league several times.
