Who are the Bills "Not Must Cut" players?

[Ebenezer]

Who are the players that Bills must keep? Obviously you can list as few as zero but no more than 53.

Re: Who are the Bills "Not Must Cut" players?

Fitzpatrick
Wood
Levitre
Stevie Johnson
Parrish (like it or not, he's our most experienced WR)
Spiller
Jackson

Kyle Williams
Merriman
Carrington
Moats
Batten
Anyone drafted 6th round or earlier in this year's draft.

Moorman
Lindell

These are the only guys who I'd be surprised and disappointed if the Bills cut.

Re: Who are the Bills "Not Must Cut" players?

Why would Jasper be bad to cut? He can be stuck on the PS.

Moorman? I actually wouldnt be shocked. That kid who looks like hes 14, has had a solid camp ive heard and had a hell of a boot last night.

IMO if we do anything but have him on the active roster or IR, he's gone. He has as much potential as any of our rookies and we need to see if he can realize that potential here, not elsewhere.

The draft is over. What round the rookies were taken in doesn't matter anymore.

You totally SabreElevened that one!

Re: Who are the Bills "Not Must Cut" players?

What's being inferred is which of the less obvious players should make the team. So I'll throw out a name... Naaman Roosevelt.

I've caught Gailey praising this guy a few times and he just seems to get open and catch every ball in the short to medium area. I'd cut Buster Davis and a few others before even considering asking Roosevelt to hand in his playbook. Looks like he's worked his ass off to make himself good. Reminds me of a WR we had a few years back named Bill Brooks, who could catch every ball within 5 yards of him.

It always helps when your HC notices you frequently for the right reasons.

You're are greatly over stating his potential. While he is quite the physical specimen his lack of technique is so regressed that it will be years before he should see quality time. Doing well against another teams fourth string is a great start, but saying he has as much potential as a guy like Dareus is nuts.

Furthermore the assumption that he is gone if we try and PS him is a huge leap and assumption that nobody can defend with any logic. He was passed over by every NFL team 7 times till we took him. They didnt think highly of him to start with, so to assume one preseason game will change that is reaching way too far.

Not many teams want to keep an active player on their roster who can't play ST and isn't ready to contribute aside from maybe 3-5 snaps a game. Its basically pissing away a roster spot.

Re: Who are the Bills "Not Must Cut" players?

Can't Cut List:
Moorman
Fitzpatrick
Sanborn
Stevie
Wood
Levitre
Dareus
K. Williams

Im partial to the rooks and 2nd year guys as well, so Id keep the majority of them, however that's the only absolutely Can't Cut guys I see on this team.
