BisonMan Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I’ve read a lot of threads and stories about which current Bills make the 53-man roster opening day. My question is, how many of the opening day 53 aren’t yet on this team? As teams release players, the Bills will too and could scoop up players from other rosters as upgrades. I think the Bills will do this less than in previous years, when the roster wasn’t as deep as it is today. My guess, there will be 3 players on the 53 that aren’t on the roster today...hopefully one of them is the punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnCoke11 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I’ll guess 1. They will get a punter once cuts are made 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Maybe 2 if Hauschka still has the yips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I see them signing 1 player waived. A punter. Barring a trade I dont a position void of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonMan Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 I can see a new punter, a trade for a significant upgrade (Clowney?) and picking up an better backup O-lineman that we currently have on the roster (center?). That’s my 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I see a REAL 3rd string QB and NO punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Punter. Maybe one other. I'll guess 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 2, one punter one advantageous pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Punter and possibly a swing tackle if Nsekhe's knee continues to be an issue. Jordan Mills just got cut...JUST KIDDING do not kick tires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 2: Punter, and a pass rusher who gets cut, or Clowney!!! Also, Perhaps a RB. We don't have any. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 All I can see is punter for sure and maybe swing tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Like everyone else, I believe our punter is not on the team now. I also see them looking for a 3rd string QB. I think you need someone who is on the team and can come up to speed with the system in a week in case of injury to Allen or Barkley. Our current 3rd string is not up to playing this year.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 punter. to go in to the season with the present would be a disaster waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I agree that a punter is very likely, but I would like to see another "bonus" player acquired that improves the team. Quality talent is going to be cut from almost every team and there will be good players available, simply b/c the numbers didn't work out. Watching Houston pre-season game and their announcers were going on about how they have 5 high quality TEs and how they are not all going to make the team, and someone out there will be picking up a good player on the cheap. There are situations like that all around the league. I'd like to see us grab one of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 2 hours ago, HOUSE said: I see a REAL 3rd string QB and NO punter. On the 53? No way. They will only have two QBs. They need that extra spot for linemen or WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Maybe punter but I think the rest of the roster will come from the current 90. My original 53 had a backup MLB being added and Darryl Johnson on the PS. I think Johnson makes it to the 53 and Lorax becomes the back up MLB in a pinch. They will carry one less LB and one more DL or OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I would be shocked if it was more than 1, and 0 is possible. They could use a spot or two to churn the guys who get waived though. It is an interesting question because one thing I am certain of is poeple here will be calling for McBeane to b fired over the WR's and RB's that get waived or possibly traded.

TigerJ Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I think one is probably the most likely #. 2 at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
