By 1996 four-time Super Bowl starter Glenn Parker had become the whipping boy of fans and media both. He was cut by the Bills in 1997, went on to KC where he started 16 games en route to a 13-3 divisional championship. In 2000 after the Chiefs released him he went to the Giants and started 13 games in a 12-4 season, going on to lose his 5th Super Bowl.

The Coach ripped into him heavily every afternoon on WGR for the declining years. That helped W.B. status shuffle along?

The fat girl down the block is better at blocking.

 

Hit once and flops on the field like a $2 *****

Code name : Spaceman

 

Code name: Beast Mode. He was the best Bills RB since OJ Simpson ... and the asshat Bills gave him away.

 

Bills were an underrated developmental league squad for RBs that helped out in playoff runs at their next gig.

 

They're still a developmental league squad for DBs. Draft 'em high or develop them from low picks/free agents and give 'em away.

Most of those mentions weren't cut but not re-signed. In terms of actual cuts I could argue guys like Ahmad Rashad, Brian Jordan or Martin Mayhew but am sure are others but these were the first names that came to me.

You're right, most of them weren't cut. Like Ahmad Rashad. LOL

Honestly i would say Ryan Fitzpatrick. The guy would have really helped us when we had EJ as our starter and I think is better than Kyle Orton. I am a self confessed Fitz fan however so maybe i'm a bit biased.

I won't put him as the biggest but it's a good point. Fitz would be a perfect mentor to a young qb. It was a great move for TB to help dumb Jameis.

 

And lots of good responses. But honestly, every team can do this. If you have a great qb and/ or coach, these bad cuts don't hurt as much.

No, Smerlas was cut. He held a huge grudge against Marv Levy afterwards. The Bills thought Jeff Wright could pick up the slack. Wright wasn't terrible, but he wasn't Smerlas...was a little too light. Smerals played two or three more seasons with the 49ers.

Smerlas was a Plan B free agent, not the same as cut. If we are allowing Plan B to count Ronnie Harmon needs to go on the list based on his productivity after he left - not that anyone missed him at all. Also can't forget the circumstances around the team after 1989. There was a lot of house cleaning to get malcontents out of the locker room. That year alone saw Chris Burkett released during the season after he held out during camp, Smerlas and Harmon put on Plan B after the season. Smerlas was a pain in the ass his entire career.

 

Also, McDole wasn't cut he was traded, that doesn't count.

 

How about Ahmad Rashad? I'm not sure about the technicalities behind his leaving Buffalo other than he got hurt in 1975 and ended up in camp with the expansion Seahawks in 1976 who traded him to Minnesota where he made 4 Pro Bowls.

No mention of Kamil Loud

no matter how he left the team letting London Fletcher go was one seriously boneheaded moves by the Bills!

he played at a high level for the redskins for (7) seasons (after 5 with the Bills) and his stint with the skins included (4) pro bowls.
