ChanOverChin Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) With the roster now to 55 players, there are some questions to be answered: 1. Who are the last 2 players to be cut? 2. Who will the Bills seek to acquire before Week 1?? I think DT I. Cross is next in line to be cut I've heard that the Bills are trying to trade B. Scott, which is curious. Dowtin can play ILB and OLB so he could be the #4 ILB. Dowtin and Westerman, who Pettine had with the Jets look to be safe. Troup or C. Bryant could gone as well. One would have to think that the Bills are looking fo some help at CB (M. Trufant is available), backup QB (Bills may only keep two and let Lewis go once Manuel is cleared to play), backup OL (add a player to Legursky with Legursky hurt), and possibly backup TE (a very weak group IMHO).

RuntheDamnBall Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Urbik was a solid pickup off the camp cuts a few years ago. One can hope another good prospect of that pedigree is available. Who knows. I doubt they will find more than one scrap-heap guy who is a really strong contributor, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is either good scouting or bad depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanOverChin Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Getting a vet CB is a must with Gilmore expected to miss at least 6 games. Maybe even trade for one. I would be on the lookout for a decent vet QB to pickup as well. T. Lewis could be a good developmental player, but he's not ready to help us now if needed. With Legursky injured and not how long he'll be out the Bills might be forced to sign a vet OC/OG to backup Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I would have to think they pick up a guard and another OL and a CB. They really,really need a Guard. No update on Legursky. Last they said is that it was probably a major injury. Can't imagine they would go into the season with no backup guards and no backup center. What the heck will they do during a game when someone gets injured? It always happens. No depth whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hogan is a keeper, a Wes Welker type of player Yeah, he's pretty much just like the guy, except for 35 lbs heavier, four inches taller, not as fast, and not one of the top 75 receivers in NFL history.

ChanOverChin Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think we'll see a vet CB added, which is why C. Butler was released. With only 5 CBs on the roster and Gilmore out for at least 6 games you've got to think that Whaley will sign a vet CB. If we assume that that happens then 3 guys have to go. I'm going to say that Cross and C. Bryant get cut. After that it could be any one of many players including QB T. Lewis (if Manuel is healthy enough to start), Troup, Welch, Westerman, or even J. Rogers or Meeks. OT J'Marcus Webb (Bears) is too good to not get picked up pretty quickly. CB M. Trufant is a quality player. TE T. Scheffler would compliment Chandler and L. Smith well. QB D. Dixon (Eagles/Steelers) has experience and is better than what we have behind Manuel. DT Ant. Garay (Jets) was a surprise cut who Pettine might be interested in.

But, he is white. Therefor, he is basically Wes Welker, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
