Not surprised, he clearly lost a step last year -
Re: Bills release D.Florence
Not surprised either. He was due $9 million over the next two years. Too much money to pay a clear backup.Comment

Thought McGee would be the one to go, but not surprised that one of them went.

Re: Bills release D.Florence
Not surprised that he got released.
More surprised that he didn't even make it to training camp.
I wonder if the Bills did this in preparation of a potential signing or two.
The biggest advantage of cutting Florence was salary cap.2013 "My Should Have" Draft

Re: Bills release D.Florence
I always liked Drayton. I wouldn't be shocked if he has another solid season or two under his belt. I knew it wouldn't be here though. His salary is way too high for a clear backup, and he did struggle pretty badly over the last 2 seasons.
I just hope he doesn't go to New England.Comment

Re: Bills release D.Florence
not sure that I like this.
Granted, Florence lost a step and it showed last year, but at the same time, we have no one that has proven to be better- just a bunch of young guys who haven't really been tested.Comment

Re: Bills release D.Florence
Going with youth/speed at DB.
McKelvin took a step forward last season.
Williams was better than expected.
Rogers showed he's capable as depth and a returner.
McGee is hopefully finally healthy.
Drafted Gilmore.
Drafted Brooks.
I think they'll look to do something similar at safety next season.

Re: Bills release D.Florence

Re: Bills release D.Florence
There have just been too many cases over the past 10 years where the Bills did a good job of ditching a player who was aging/expensive, only to fail to replace him with someone equal or better.Originally posted by JCBillsComment
