NoSaint Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 That's what I thought. I still think the Bills are trying to get Simms onto the PS before they cut Cassel. Very well could see them work to that and then add a pickup to get back up to 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Horseheads Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Cassel has started off the season as the starter in 3 of the past 4 seasons and has had his season cut short in each of them (interestingly enough the season he started as a backup, 2013, he didn't get hurt and finished out the season as the starter). His stats during that time were 515/871 (59.1%) for 5,741 (6.6 YPA), 31 TDs (1 rushing) and 45 turnovers (34 INTs and 11 lost fumbles). And during that time he went 9-17. That's lousy. Furthermore I've never heard that he was a good mentor to younger QB's. So again, I have no idea what they saw in him when they traded for him. Doc... I think they saw a stop gap if TT and EJ stunk up the preseason. They didn't so cut or trade his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 @JonTWCNews: In talking with people after game in Detroit Thursday, belief was Rex not happy w/ back-up OL and would look to add 1-2 free agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The wildcard is the Dareus spot. That actually lets them hold onto someone that they might want on their practice squad until a week after everyone has already filled their rosters and their practice squads. O'Leary could be that guy. Keep him around for a week and then cut him when it is much less likely that some other team will pick him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who would be interested in O'Leary - he did nothing to show he can play at this level. I would think more interest in Lewis and Brown - although trying to hide one of them through the first week would mean keeping 8 WRs (even though 2 of those are really ST guys) Edited September 5, 2015 by stevewin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Wow. Stunned that Red Bryant has gone. Thought he was a good pick up who had played pretty well in limited pre-season snaps. I'd have had Carrington more at risk but maybe they feel that having been here longer he has a better grasp of the scheme. The others are pretty much expected except O'Leary still seems to be there which I confess I am shocked by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think more interest in Lewis and Brown - although trying to hide one of them through the first week would mean keeping 8 WRs (even though 2 of those are really ST guys) I agree - he wouldn't be my first choice for a guy to go the extra mile to get on the practice squad. But maybe they've seen something in practice that hasn't been apparent to the untrained eye? I don't know. I'm just saying there is going to be one person on the roster this week that they are planning to cut next week. I doubt it would be someone they would use in the game (like an extra backup DT). So it's more likely going to be someone they've prioritized for the practice squad. The other explanation for O'Leary still being on the roster is that they are going to keep five TEs for the season, which seems crazy. Four is already a stretch, though it probably makes sense for Roman's offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
