If you are cutting Hamlin, do it now...

[Ethan in Cleveland]

There will be an incredible amount of emotion around cutting Hamlin.  He's just terrible and its obvious he needs to go.  He's a wonderful survival story and he turned a terrible near tragedy into an amazing positive national story and education opportunity.  It's time to move on though.  Bills can not afford the distraction of cutting him after the next game and in the leadup to week 1.  Do it tomorrow or Tuesday.  Then start working the phones and move a reserve OL for a backup safety that at least belongs in the NFL.

I don’t think they’re cutting him

[Joe Marino]

He’s brutal. 

[BillMafia716ix]

He is what he is. A backup safety. Nothing more than that

[QCity]

McD is too emotionally invested in him to cut him unfortunately.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Say what you will About him, but at least the guy plays and isn’t out injured every other game.

I’ll say this about him. He does not contribute to winning.

[Brand J]

It was… massively disappointing… that he looked like a liability among backups. I’ll give Cole Bishop a little more leeway as he was just getting back into the swing of things, but with Hamlin, there’s no excuse.

[BuffaloTX]

I really wish they found a way to replace Hamlin.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Hamlin will be the starter.

 

McDermott loves him. He understands the complex McDermott system

 

Who else do we have ?

 

Cole Bishop?

He might be the best of what's around.

You need someone to take his place first. Your recommendation is to cut him before you have anyone to replace him? Next man up needs to actually be a person on the Bills team.

Agree. Add Buffalo Joe to the scrap pile as well..

[Herc11]

They had the chance to let him walk and could picked up one of the top safeties in the draft. But here we are.

[Thrivefourfive]

He’s not getting cut. Those guys watched him die on the field. Is what it is

Plus they gave him $2M in guaranteed money

[RoscoeParrish]

Hamlin is quite literally at least the second best S on the roster.

 

He’s also occasionally a disaster.

 

Its a real mess

[boyst]

... If you can replace him with a better player but Cole Bishop isn't there yet.

 

I trust Hamlin over Bishop.

This is absolutely right IMO. 

 

He is the 2nd best safety on the roster and yet we all know he isn't good enough.
