"The reshaping of Buffalo’s roster has begun in earnest as they waived seven players Tuesday. The Bills announced the release of TE Derek Fine, DE Jermaine McGhee, LB Ashlee Palmer, DT Marcus Smith, S John Wendling, WR Justin Jenkins and C Marvin Philip."

 

 

Great! There really is a new direction @ OBD!

 

Wendling, Fine & Jenkins represent everything bad about the Bills talent level over the past few seasons. Hell, all of 'em do.

Actually, a little surprised about Fine...he has been slightly productive over his two seasons. Shawn Nelson is obviously our best tight end, but Fine had his moments.

 

Don't forget about Schouman, he started and made a lot of receptions and the offense wnet way down after he was hurt (may be a coincidence).

A few good special teams guys in there. A little suprising I guess. Why are they cutting these guys right now? Serious question.

 

I am not sure as to the timing, but I assume it was the BIlls being nice and giving these guys a chance to catch on early elsewhere. Pretty nice gesture by the Bills I think.

 

Also, I am guessing Chan has said we need guys who can play something besides teams, and guys like Jenkins,Palmer and Wendling I guess were just liabilities at their position. So when teams play goes down a bit, lets not blame it on Bruce right away :lol:

hopefully we will get ST players that can actually play a position. these guys represent one of the main reasons we have been bad, depth. These guys took spots from 2nd and 3rd stringers that could have provided depth when starters were injured.

I thought Wendling was safe. I guess DeHaven has some other guys in mind.

 

 

Im surprised Wendling was cut. He's one of the best gunners in the NFL.

 

Wendling really surprised me and Fine was a surprise too.

 

I don't know this so don't think too much about it but it's possible some of them may not have had the on field or off field attitude Chan expects.
