truth on hold Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) He makes a good case ..... Although Carucci believes Ryan and coordinator Greg Roman are "open-minded" about Manuel's chances, he also suspects the 2013 first-round pick won't be on the final roster unless he wins the starting job. If the Bills end up dangling Manuel for a late-round pick in August, keep an eye on the Eagles as a potential trade partner. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000492925/article/is-matt-cassel-destined-for-backup-role-with-the-bills Edited May 17, 2015 by Beerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You are asking for trouble with the title. The article doesn't say he won't make the roster, just that he will be up for trade. If no one accepts a trade offer, then he will still be on the roster. Therefore he will "make" the roster either way. There is really no point in cutting him, and they won't.

Dr. Fong Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Here's my bold prediction, EJ won't be the starter, but will be on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it always has to do with who is the starter and backup and third. The Bills will likely keep three. it's possible that EJ gets traded. I doubt they will cut him.

John from Riverside Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I will root for EJ to be on the team because it will mean he has taken the next step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bills want to cut ties with EJ this would be the time to do it unless he's the starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Way too early to tell. Ej and Cassel both have a history of injuries, so that alone is a huge factor if one of them gets injured in preseason. I personally think it is going to play out a lot like it did last year, with none of the QBs looking at good in preseason games. The 4 teams we are going up against in preseason all have pretty good defenses. I think whoever starts in the carolina game has the edge, it will be a home game against a weaker secondary than the other teams we face in preseason. And it will probably also be the player the coaches have the most faith in since it is the first preseason game. So barring injury, I think whoever starts in the panthers game starts week 1 in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
