If your were evaluating each player in the off-season, who are your top 5 candidates to be cut?
My nominees:
1) Charlie Rogers ~ This non-return man continues to dissappoint and is just taking up space on the roster. I think that Curtis Alexander or even Joe Burns could have been a more effective return man for the Bills, and the fans may even have had an opportunity to see what Alexander can do if given an opportunity behind the line of scrimmage. BTW, what the hell has Gilbride been doing with Larry Centers this season. Rogers is dead weight and my first choice to be placed under the TD axe.
2) Billy Jenkins ~ Money sponge. His knowledge of the game obviously out weighs his level of play. Jenkins, beaten out for the SS position by a rookie before the season even began, may even be Tom's first choice. In fact, the only reason that he is still here today is position insurance. Coaches were initially concerned that Coy might collapse. Guess what? Bye Bye Billy.
3) Eddie Robinson ~ The tackle totals were there this season, but what about that recorded sack ~ zilch, zip, nadda, nil, nothing. Sorry that blows for an OLB. Defensive scheme is partly to blame, but it's basically the same D that Williams implemented between 1998-2001 when Eddie had a total of 24.5 sacks in Tenn. He should know the D by now. Newman may have only recorded 33 tackles, but he played less (?) and his sack total was at 3. Fact is Newman can find his way to the QB and deserves an opportunity to prove himself (like he has the last two seasons). Later Eddie, Hello Newman!

Chris Watson: Picked on and destroyed all season long. 6th round rookie Kevin Thomas plays one game against the Green Bay Packers and shows Watson how it's done. Chris may remain as a backup and play special teams, but I don't think anyone would be suprised if Watson gets cut short of a long prosperous career in Buffalo. Elementary my dear Watson, your out on your ear.
Jay Riemersma: I question Gilbrides play calling this season and TD has hinted to the fact that he was not pleased with a few calls either. Therefore JR still has an opportunity to remain in Buffalo if the Bills decide to use him next season. JRs future with Buffalo depends largely on what changes are made to the coaching staff in the off-season. And if TD does decide to keep him, Jay's stone hands need to be addressed. I cringed every time the ball was thrown Jay's way this season. He catches as if he has a brick tied around each hand. In all, JR could be a positive weapon, but seeing as how his cap$$ continue to plague TD in the front office, JR is a high candidate for deletion. I expect Jay to be cut late before he drastically effects next seasons cap, yet a trade seems more feesible for both parties. Finally an answer to the age ol' question: TD shot JR (out of Buffalo).
