Beck Water Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Sooooo....you be the GM Stevenson was designated for return from IR November 17, meaning he needs to be activated or placed on season-ending IR by next Wednesday, December 7. Ike Boettger's window to return from PUP opened on Sunday, meaning Bills have to make up their mind on him by December 17. Jake Kumerow went on IR 11/17, so is eligible to come off the list after the 12/11 game against the Jets Christian Benford went on IR 11/26. so is eligible to come off the list after the 12/24 game against the Bears. Here's the current Bills roster from Sal Capaccio: Typical gameday roster for the Bills most of this season features 2 QB, 8 OL, 5 RB, 2 TE, 5 WR, 5 Edge, 4 DT, 5 LB, 9 DB, 3 STers. Recent variations have included 6 RB, 4 Edge and 4 Edge, 10 DB. You be the GM. Assuming that Stevenson (who has barely played) is good to go and Boettger is good to go, but neither quite in "game shape", what do you do? If you activate them to the 53 man roster, who do you cut? If you bring back Kumerow from IR, who do you cut? Ditto Benford Points to note: -You can activate a guy from PUP for 24 hrs then put him back on IR for 4 games. -I don't think you can play that game from IR. -Everybody cut from the 53 man roster, veteran or not, must now pass through waivers Go!

LABILLBACKER Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I don't really care what happens to Crowder, Kumerow or Stevenson. Let Brown be your 5th WR. I think we'll need Boettger as OL insurance. And DB's always get hurt this time of year so keep Benford available when healthy. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they feel that Stevenson can materially help them in the passing game -- I, personally, happen not to feel that way -- I'd place him in IR for the rest of the season. The trusty ol' IR stash. Give him another shot in training camp next season. - Cut Justin Murray, activate Ike Boettger to active roster. Too early to say on Kumerow and Benford. Other injuries or roster changes may have occurred by the time those players are eligible. Whichever of those players the Bills feel more urgency to bring back to the active roster, Cam Lewis would be next on the "cut" list. I think they could get him back through to the practice squad. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't list him as one of the 4 guys we gotta make moves for because I think he just stays on IR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCbillsfan Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 If no one else gets hurt. Activate Boettger and cut Murray. Activate Benford and cut Cam Lewis. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Theres so much depth on this roster. Even though we would be 10-1 if we were healthy, people don’t give our backups enough credit Edited November 29, 2022 by Bills!Win! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein's Dog Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 If I were GM I'd be strongly considering bringing back Beas for the stretch run. Seems like Beas at this point would come back cheap and healthy. Beas knows the playbook. With Crowder injured we're now thin at the slot. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Beasley has no interest in playing for Bills. Maybe no interest in playing at all since he quit on Bucs. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more of a step has he lost? Brown is a complete unknown right now and certainly not a lock for WR5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
