Trimming from 75 to 53

[Mr. Miyagi]

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

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

Dan Carpenter

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.

Did WR Thompson get cut?

Re: Trimming from 75 to 53

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

Where roster sits after Friday cuts

Posted by Chris Brown on September 4, 2015 – 2:04 pm

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

Re: Trimming from 75 to 53

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

[Dr. Lecter]

Re: Trimming from 75 to 53

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.
