Beane indicated they may keep 7 WRs; have received trade calls on DL

They talked about even having 8 during the pre-game on WGR.  All speculation but mostly was just talking about telling guys that they cut to "not leave the parking lot" because they are going to put some other guys on short-term IR once they cut down to 53.

There are going to be three or four players off this roster that Beane trades or cuts who end up starting on other teams this season.  The Bear's commentators mentioned it during the preseason telecast, teams are going to be circling the Bills cut downs to grab players this year.

 

Kudos to Beane for putting together such a great roster.

My thought is it’s gotta be well give up Obada or Addison. Beane spoke highly of Johnson on STs (maybe that’s GM speak) but usually Beane is a straight shooter. Addison was also out there pretty late for a veteran guy

 

I agree. I thought Obada would pop more during games, and I originally thought it'd be between Addison and Johnson. 

 

I think Addison or Obada will go on the trading block.

Efe/#93/that-latest-ex-panther usage today was primarily on the interior, may be an indicator they thing that might be the path onto the roster (I.e. Butler’s spot)

 

Mod edit:  C'mon guys, our DE's name is Efe Obada, not Efe Obama.  I keep seeing this, I'm gonna start throwing flags.

I don't know man.

I've actually been sort of pleasantly surprised out of what we've seen from Butler in the two preseason games I saw.

Would be nice if we could trade out Addison for a 5th or 6th

With this roster a 5th or 6th probably doesn’t make the team.

 

On another note, after the game I went to Caesar’s BBQ here in Delray to pick up some celebratory ribs, they were making dinner for FAU football team and staff. I’ve never seen that much food.

Obada is on a one year deal making stones.  Addison would make the most sense of those two.

True, unless they find a gem. However, we all know how Beane loves those late round picks as ammo to move around and target guys they like.

During the broadcast 

I was hoping they would, but they’ve never kept more than 6


 

2 QB

9 OL

4 RB/FB

6 WR — But Kumerow could be cut and resigned

2 TE

23 offense 

 

6 DE

4 DT

5 LB

10 DB

25 Defense

 

K

P

LS

Retutner-Stephenson 

 

52 players

 

they keep a 2021 drafted player they think won’t clear who will be a ST player

 

i think they want to sneak WR Hodgkins onto the PS

 

!u erod is one of the cuts that get resigned in order to put a player on inseason IR

Anything in particular he did that stood out to you?

Obada looks to be an awesome player.  I wouldn’t trade him

Hope we keep Obada and trade Addison.  Johnson seems to be a lock due to his ST status. 7 wrs would not shock me, but if Stevenson goes on PS we'll lose him.

Gilliam could be the #3 TE , AND the #4 RB

 

I think they will keep the other 4 backs though because they all have a role. At the moment there isn't a 3rd tight end worth keeping which is why that is the easy place to go light and use Reggie a bit.

Nobody is going to trade for Mario Addison.  No one.  Obada is on a one-year deal, he won’t be back if he plays well this year so he’s the most obvious trade candidate, followed by Johnson. 

 

Yea I can't see much of a market for Addison. If someone does trade for him the best you are doing is like a conditional 7th...

Who’s trading for a 34 yr. old DE who had a pedestrian 5 sacks last year?  Why wouldn’t they wait to see if he’s cut.   I doubt he will as there’s no economic value to it except they want the spot for someone else.

 

I just wouldn’t hold my breath that will happen.

Agree in the NFL trades aren't made for players that old, making that much money, and most importantly didn't play that well last season.  If he 9 sacks last season likely a different story.  Maybe if the Bills throw in someone else like a Kumerow, they agree to take Addison's salary, but likely then needs to be to a non-contending team.

 

I would love to be a mind reader though to know if Beane had known he was going to draft two DE's in first two rounds, would he have signed Addison to the updated contract.  I'd think not, but will never know for certain.

He looks like he knows he's playing for his job, but Zimmer and Star are still making the impact that Butler isn't, notwithstanding the hybrids getting reps inside and showing something as well (Bam, Boogie, Efe/#93/the-latest-ex-Panther). Between those 3 having inside ability and Butler being behind (IMO) Star, Horrible and Oliver on the interior there's a path to a 7/3 split or more precisely 3 tackle, 4 edge (Rousseau, Addison, Hughes, Epenesa) and the 3 hybrids.

He also said "and one less tight end" which to me is the most obvious way you do it. Keep just 2 tight ends plus Gilliam and then 7 receivers.

Agree. Sweeney is not worth keeping. He can't block and Kumerow can be the big body receiver if needed. I've been posting most off season that they don't need three true TEs and it would be better to play a swing OT as the designated blocking TE.

WR is clearly Josh Allens favorite target and Brian Dabolls favorite toy. I'm not sure the NFL has ever seen a QB that can stretch the field as far as Allen. So I say yes, absolutely find a way to keep players like Stevenson without losing another good weapon at the WR position.

He also was signed to very reasonable deal and could help one area where the Bills struggled last season. If the team is trying to win a Super Bowl this season trading Obada for a 6th round pick makes little sense

They should just cut Mario then
