‘Luckily, Beane did a lot of the dirty work for me. The team’s real general manager made a bunch of roster cuts so I – the fake GM – didn’t have to. Gone are center Mitch Morse, defensive back Siran Neal, running back Nyheim Hines, safety Jordan Poyer and wide receiver Deonte Harty. Cornerback Tre’Davious White is gone, too, even if his contract will hang out on the balance sheet until June 2.’

‘Morris is a big part of special teams as well, playing 82% of special-teams snaps last season, and 75% of special-teams snaps the year before. He had a key block on receiver Deonte Harty’s 96-yard punt return touchdown in Week 18, which teammates were quick to note. Reggie Gilliam even said Morris had two blocks on the play.’

‘Free agency is going to have a major say in that, Gerry, but right now, my answer is receiver. I suspect it will stay that way, too. With the top three receivers who were set to become free agents either getting franchise tagged (Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman) or re-signing with their old team (Mike Evans), the outlook for Gabe Davis has improved. If he gets a big offer from another team, it will be hard for the Bills to match it, which I would advise against, anyway. That makes receiver both a short- and long-term need, because the Bills need to groom a replacement for Stefon Diggs soon, too.’
