    My Projected 53 man roster after 3 pre-season games

    Not many changes.
    QB (2, 2) - EJ Manuel, Jeff Tuel
    RB/FB (5, 7) - CJ Spiller, Fred Jackson, Anthony Davis, Bryce Brown, Frank Summers
    WR (6, 13) - Sammy Watkins, Mike Williams, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin, Chris Hogan, Marcus Easley
    TE (3, 16) - Scott Chandler, Lee Smith, Chris Gragg
    OL (9, 25) - Cordy Glenn, Chris Williams, Eric Wood, Kraig Urbik, Eric Pears, Cyrus Kouandjio, Seantrel Henderson, Cyril Richardson, Doug Legursky

    DL (9, 34) - Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcel Dareus, Jerry Hughes, Manny Lawson, Corbin Bryant, Stefan Charles, Jarius Wynn, Landon Cohen (Branch came in out of shape and has not impressed. Cohen beats him out and they keep the younger guys in Charles and Bryant)
    LB (7, 41) - Nigel Bradham, Brandon Spikes, Keith Rivers, Preston Brown, Randell Johnson, Ty Powell, Stevenson Sylvester
    DB (10, 51 ) - Leodis McKelvin, Da, Norris Searcy, Aaron Williams, Stephon Gilmore, Corey Graham, Ross Cockrell, Nickell Robley, Duke Williams, Jonathan Meeks. Ron Brooks
    ST (3, 54) - Dan Carpenter, Brian Moorman, Garrison Sandborn

    I added Frank Summers and removed Dustin Hopkins. Also added Ron Brooks since Bradham will not count against the roster for week 1. But I would not be surprised if one of the young DBs makes it over Brooks (Harley?)

    I also really could see Urbik getting cut if he does not start and then Legursky is the main interior back up and that opens a roster spot - maybe a 7th WR like Elliot, Graham or Gurley.
    After week 1, a LB gets cut - probably Sylvester or Powell.
    Gameday inactives would be (on this roster) - Kouandjio. Brooks, Richardson, Powell, Brown, Cragg, Cohen

        Brooks is making the team.
        And Legursky is not.

            I'm having a hard time seeing Branch getting cut, mostly for financial reasons. He played well last year and they just re-signed him for three more years with about $3.5 mil guaranteed. That's a pretty significant contract to sign a guy to just to cut him before the season even starts. Even if they're unhappy with him right now, that's a lot of dead money to take on. It would actually cost the team a bigger cap hit this year to not have him on the team.

                What would be the point of putting him on IR?

                  After watching Saturday's game, Kujo is the one that needs to go to IR. I don't want to lose a guy like Hairston or Williams, who can at least play at an average NFL level, for what he's shown so far. He was flat out embarrassed out there, and if he's called upon to play I'd be afraid for the health of EJ and our RBs.
                  Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.

                    Legursky is terrible. Urbik is far from great (and you can say the same for the rest of the terams guards), but I don't understand why the team would keep Legrsky ahead of Wrbik. Can't Urbik play center too? Don't ell me it is a money issue, the team is way below the cap so that is a non-issue.

                    I would also add that while Urbik's play this preseason has been bad, so has Williams. I definitely foresee the Bills regretting his contract in the near term.

                      He got $3.1M guaranteed, in the form of a signing bonus spread from 2013 - 2016 at $775K per season. If they cut him, they would have $775K in dead money this year and save $2.425M in 2014. The acceleration of the last 2 years in bonus amortization would occur next year, to the tune of $1.55M in dead money in 2015.

                        I was going to say. This is very similar to the one Buscaglia published the other day. He keeps Thad Lewis. Which I think they might. If Manuel gets hurt, they are in dire straits without him around. I think Hairston may get cut. And Buscaglia says Ron Brooks has had a good camp. Haven't heard that one before.

                          I still don't see them going with 2 QBs. Even if Lewis goes then 3rd QB will be filled by TBD.

                            Legursky or Urbik - one will make the team. Likely the better center of the two.

                              Ok, that would make things different I guess. The cap sites I looked at show $3+ mil of dead cap for 2014 if he's cut, but they may not know the details of the contract. Either way, cutting a guy you just signed to a multi-year deal would be odd. I'm guessing they feel somewhat stuck with him for at least a year and are trying to motivate him by putting him with the 3rd-stringers.
