My prediction of the 53 man roster

[Mr. Miyagi]

Here's my guess:

OT Glenn, Pears, Hairston, Sanders
OG Rinehart, Urbik, Levitre
OC Wood
TE Chandler, Caussin
QB Fitz, Young, Pigpen
FB McIntyre
RB Freddie, Spiller, Choice
WR Stevie, Easley, Graham, Nelson, Jones, B Smith, Hagan

DT Dareus, K Williams, Edwards, Carrington, Troup
DE Mario, Anderson, Kelsay, Merriman, Batten
LB Barnett, Sheppard, Morrison, Scott, Carder, Bradham, Moats
S Byrd, Wilson, Searcy
CB McGee, Gilmore, A Williams, McKelvin, Brooks, Rogers

P Moorman
K Lindell
LS Sanborn

Notable cuts (or to PS):
Spencer Johnson, Dotson, Heard, Jasper, Harry Potter, Chris White, Johnny White, Dickerson, Clowney, Ruvell Martin, Roosevelt

Discuss among yourselves.

[The King]

Can we cut Clowney now?

And I think White Makes the team instead of Choice.

[DraftBoy]

Only carrying two TE's in interesting but not a crazy idea at all.

I think they may take one additional OL over a DL but overall I think that's going to be pretty close to the roster.

[justasportsfan]

bills love Spencer Johnson. He'll stick as depth especially now that we're going back to 4-3

The only reason I'd keep Johnson instead of Batten is maybe he can rotate in as DT in a pinch. But then we'll be thin at DE if Merriman gets another hang nail.

Here's my guess:

OT Glenn, Pears, Hairston, Sanders
OG Rinehart, Urbik, Levitre
OC Wood, Asper
TE Chandler, Smith, Onobun
QB Fitz, Young,
FB McIntyre
RB Freddie, Spiller, Choice
WR Stevie, Easley, Graham, Nelson, Jones, B Smith, Hagan

DT Dareus, K Williams, Carrington, Troup
DE Mario, Anderson, Kelsay, Merriman
LB Barnett, Sheppard, Morrison, Scott, Carder, Bradham, McKillop
S Byrd, Wilson, Searcy, Nesbit
CB McGee, Gilmore, A Williams, Brooks, Rogers

P Moorman
K Lindell, Potter (kickoff specialist)
LS Sanborn

[wmoz11]

Thigpen won't be around if Young makes the team. And I don't think Asper gets cut - too much versatility.

OC Wood, Asper
TE Chandler, Smith, Onobun

[k-oneputt]

They will keep six cb's.

McKillop and Nesbit would surprise me.

I don't see McKelvin getting cut. Maybe traded.

Easley has to stay healthy before I feel comfortable penciling him in. I think Johnson sticks over Batten. Edwards should be a goner. I could see Hagan and/or Clowney over Aiken and Roosevelt depending on how TC goes for this crew. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if they only kept 2 QB and 2 TE, especially if they keep 9 0line.

I think your right about Asper. I don't think he's getting cut. He's Aspiring to be the teams next great Center. :D Couldn't resist.

Love this version, for the most part...including Howell. Only differences is I see are Dickerson making the team over one of those WR's--or Caussin (but unlikely due to small size), and I would like McGee to hit the road too. Him getting cut would mean our young guys stepped up and took his job--and that we dont have to waste a roster spot on his injured ass anymore.

The only thing with McGee is the only two guys left on the roster at the moment are Prince Miller and Chris Hill, and if they keep six one of them will make the final cut. Maybe they only keep five, but I don't see it.

Discuss among yourselves. Good stuff, Ill probably make my guesses around the 2nd week of TC. I'm expecting surprise cuts to some veteran players this year. But, I'm wanting to be sure I have the right ones in the cross hairs. :D

[Homegrown]

If both Young & Pigpen make the roster, in addition to B Smith, then I'm going to burn down the fieldhouse

[Beebe]

Pigpen get's cut and we sign Plaxico Burress at wr.

[BillsOverDolphins]

You're most likely correct...I just think McGee has outlived his usefulness on this team...he's no longer a return man and he's lost a lot of athleticism at CB. He's a known quantity, and not a very good one at this point. Nothing would make me more excited than AW and SG starting, with Brooks, McKelvin, and Rogers as b/u's or nickel options. They are largely unknown quantities, with great potential (save for McKelvin). Throw the young guys to the wolves...dont stunt their growth.

I'm still holding out hope we pick up a veteran WR off the cuts-pile to round out out roster too. Not much potential for us at that position right now...at least on paper.

Would it surprise you if Brad Smith got cut? I mean, technically speaking, if the Bills found a way to make the wildcat work with Young, what purpose would Brad Smith serve here? he's kind of a Jack of 2 trades. With the receiving core already packed, meaning the Bills wont be keeping them all, Young could potentially push Brad Smith off the team. Just saying.

No...wouldn't suprise me at all....I'm just suprised the OP had VY, Pigpen & B Smith on the roster....

[YardRat]

Smith is definitely on the bubble.

[DGreg]

Another prediction is that once Clowny is cut he gets drunk, bangs the first chick he can, wakes up and its a transvestite and ends up HIV pos.

[DGreg]

An oh, those results will never make it to Twitter.

[Extremebillsfan247]

I was thinking he could end up on Jerry Springer tranny oil wrestling, or Maury Povich where he could try to prove he is not the father. :D
