Other Than Pears, Why Cut Any Good Vets ?

[Night Train]

If Hariston is healthy and the kid form the U stays clean, I can see Pears leaving and saving 2-3 Mil...but some here list Vets like Fred Jackson and others as possible cuts...why ?

If a younger guy is elevated to the starting lineup, that's great... but we screamed about depth concerns at various positions for years. Now it looks decent.

Backups with experience are always a good thing and the Bills are not in any cap trouble.

Let's keep our wits.

I'd still like to add a vet center for depth, that can swing to guard in a pinch, actually.

well, there is that TJ Graham feller .. oops, you did say "good vets", forget I mentioned # 11

Camp will be god this year. Talented choices at most positions. Let the best man win. Be it vet or rookie.

I think there is a balance to be struck between keeping your depth and making sure guys are earning their jobs.

If they figure on keeping these 3 OL draftees on the active squad - which is an unusual thing - they better be sorting out their current crop of iffy performers that constitute their special teams.

Our O-line needed new life, so I'm hoping 2 of the 3 draftees start (I know wishful thinking).

Indeed the OL did, but I'd be surprised if two started. They just have, have to get better on their STs, which often means keeping the fast folks like DBs and LBs and letting OLs and DLs go outright or try to park them on the PS.

I dunno. Did you just reply to yourself?
I don't think I've ever seen that before.

To clarify, I reply to myself all the time; just not on a message board.
After all, sometimes one is starved for intelligent conversation.

Spot on with Graham. Top 4 are Woods, Williams, Watkins & Goodwin. Hogan or someone else should get the 5 slot.

Drops get one cut.

I think you're going to carry 6 WR's. Easley is going to stick for his ST ability. Depending on how camp shakes out don't be surprised if a guy like Chris Summers, Cordell Roberson, or Ramses Barden takes that 5th spot as a size WR.

Ubrik can play center.

I like Legursky but he was uninspiring last year.

I'd imagine the staff would like to stash Henderson on the PS but that won't happen.

In a (my) perfect world you'd carry Hairston as a swing tackle, Henderson and Richardson. Ubrik functions as your backup center if Wood goes down.

Glenn, Williams, Wood, Ubrik, Kujo should be the lineup. Pears has a shot at the roster and even starting, it's a long one though.

I think at times last season they actually had seven on the roster, didn't they?
