Which cut will be the biggest surprise and hurt the most?

Let's leave the Cassel vs Sims topic with the other thread.

I don't really think anything can hurt more than Fred. We are going to lose a promising WR or two, but other than that, I don't see anything too big.

Bryce Brown will get cut when Dareus comes back, is my guess.

I think Red Bryant and Stefan Charles both make the team for week 1, but one of those guys gets cut once Dareus is activated.

With the injury issues they've had and wanting to be a run-heavy team, I don't see them carrying less than 4 RB's at any point.

Nope. If they plan on running the ball as much as they claim he will be needed.

Why cut a guy when people are calling to trade for him ...

Where roster sits after Friday cuts (http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2015/09/04/where-roster-sits-after-friday-cuts/) <small>Posted by Chris Brown on <abbr title="2015-09-04T14:04:00-0400"> September 4, 2015 – 2:04 pm </abbr> </small>

Here’s a look at a position by position breakdown of Buffalo’s roster, which sits at 57 players after the latest round of player cuts.
Leodis McKelvin was put on Reserve/NFI and Deonte Thompson was waived injured so they no longer count toward the roster total.
Our position by position listing shows right now the Bills are a bit heavy at wide receiver and tight end and a bit light at cornerback, but with Corey Graham on the roster he could play corner if needed.
QB (3) – Matt Cassel, EJ Manuel, Tyrod Taylor
RB (5) – Bryce Brown, Boobie Dixon, Jerome Felton, LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams
WR (7) – Marcus Easley, Marquise Goodwin, Percy Harvin, Chris Hogan, Marcus Thigpen, Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods
TE (5) – Charles Clay, Chris Gragg, MarQueis Gray, Matthew Mulligan, Nick O’Leary
OL (8) – Dalton Freeman, Cordy Glenn, Seantrel Henderson, Richie Incognito, Cyrus Kouandjio, John Miller, Kraig Urbik, Eric Wood
DL (8) – Corbin Bryant, Red Bryant, Alex Carrington, Stefan Charles, Marcell Dareus, Jerry Hughes, Kyle Williams, Mario Williams
LB (7) – Nigel Bradham, Preston Brown, Randell Johnson, Manny Lawson, Kevin Reddick, Tony Steward, A.J. Tarpley
CB (5) – Ron Brooks, Mario Butler, Ronald Darby, Stephon Gilmore, Nickell Robey
S (5) – Corey Graham, Jonathan Meeks, Bacarri Rambo, Aaron Williams, Duke Williams
Spec. Teams (4) – Dan Carpenter, Jordan Gay, Colton Schmidt, Garrison Sanborn

My guesses for remaining 4:

1) Trying to trade Cassell or Manuel, will cut Cassell if can't secure a trade
2) Trying to hide a TE on the PS and will cut one more
3) gotta cut one of the kickers, right? Maybe both if someone they like becomes available

Dez Lewis is added to the list.

The last 3:

Probably a tight end.

Maybe another WR

Maybe another LB

Maybe another DL

Cassell?

Or cut two kickers and sign one

I'm thinking O'Leary Will head to the Practice Squad. I know they like him, but, he's really hasn't done much and the Bills don't need 5 TEs.

I am expecting the Bills to pick a tackle up off waivers and then cut Kouandjio.

But he hasn't been good.

I think Hogan makes it and Carpenter stays too. rex is being a bit "emotional" and judgmental about a kicker who hit on 90% of fg's last year, including a game winning 58 year old. He was hurt for 20 days and rusty. He'll straighten it out.

As for Hogan, I cut Thgpen over him. Thigpen isn't much of a receiver, Hogan is good on ST coverage, and we have plenty of guys who can return kicks/punts

I think Hogan is a cut.

He's working out with the team today.

they still have 3 more cuts (and maybe more, if they claim any players whom are cut by other teams), so Hogan isn't safe yet

I bet Rex is still sad he had to cut his boy Connor.

Whatever happened to Deonte Thompson? I must've missed him getting cut sometime. He looked good in the last couple weeks.

I guess he's hurt now. Not sure when that happened, but they should have traded him when they had the chance.

Not sure that means much. 3-4 other guys are working out that may be gone tomorrow.

Sometimes throwing a pick like that to the wolves, as the Bills have done, will speed the learning curve. Let's hope that's whats going on there.
