Sure, he got toasted at times last year, but I dont think cutting him makes your team better.

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

I personally rather keep him too. What if there is training camp injuries? You could end up with a player worse than Florence on your roster?

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

I guess it was a money thing. B/c there is no way you could say that he was worse than McGee or McKelvin.

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

most people would rather keep a player then cut him but its a numbers game and he is out

also he was probalbly 4-5 on the depth chart at 4-5 mill a year

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

I really don't know what people were watching last year

Flo was not good at all and thrown on and pick on by opposing QB's more than any other CB we had

I read somewhere that when QB's threw at Flo they had something like a 102 QB rating and that put him in the top 10 worst CB's in the league

The Bills decided they no longer wanted to pay for a player that is clearly in decline and is only going to get worse from here on out

Yep, QB's had a rating of 103.3 throwing against him.

By 2013,none of those 3 are here and he was just the first to go. They're ALL getting replaced.

5 mil cap hit this year,6 mil next year.

We will draft another 2 CB's next year.

Welcome to needed change.

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

gilmore and williams are locked in as starters.

brooks and rogers are locked in as well...

so, mckelvin, mcgee, florence. all relatively the same...

florence made the most, so he was cut.

and they will keep mckelvin because he is healthy and has younger legs.

pretty simple actually...

Re: Not a fan of cutting Florence

What has florence done to deserve starting?

There are no "locks" in May. It is interesting that every player who has never played a snap in the NFL is a lock, and every vet is fightin for a spot...I know that you like the draft, and we all like shiny new parts, but come on, dude...

Why is Rogers a lock? He's done nothing to deserve being a lock. And neither have any of the rookies. Florence should have been kept until TC. Screw the money he is owed and screw giving him a chance to join another team. This is a business and we need to ensure we have the best players out there. He could and should have been cut later if it was merited so skillwise.

he had 2 good years followed by one bad year. Could be age, could have just been an off year. It happens to a lot of good players.

I'd rather take the chance on him than McGee, given McGee's injury history.
