Courtesy cuts?

[eSJayDee]

Don't we typically do some "courtesy cuts" by this time?  By that, I mean releasing players that they know won't be making the roster giving them a chance to hook up w/ another team in time for the last PS game?

I know we've released/waived a few players but w/ the exception of K Davis (whose signing was injury induced), all or at least most were injury related.

Often times, someone like E Moore or D Jackson would be let go once we think it's unlikely we'll have them on the roster- again, largely a courtesy to them.

After this past game, might be more appropriate to call it a courtesy “flush”

Not always. And this year, we have *so* many players dinged up, we can't really afford to do that - as we need to be able to field a team for the last Pre-Season game while also sitting a large percentage of the guys making the 53.

I know it's a business but after everything Josh has done for this franchise I'm appalled that they aren't giving him time to catch on with another team.

Beane does love taking on big dead money hits. This would be his cream dream.

There’s so many meh backups I don’t think the bills front office knows which players to cut. I think the 3rd preseason game will be make or break for some of these guys, especially some guys who haven’t shown anything or have been unavailable - Samuel, SVP, Hamlin, Dane Jackson…

With near 2 weeks between cut down day and week 1 I don't expect it. Gives players plenty of time to find a time.  If anything it seems to be the time for trades.  If they make any I expect it before they travel to Tampa.

There is a ton of “depth” on this roster that deserves a “courtesy” cut. Sadly, in some cases we don’t have even an adequate replacement.  

 

On offense:  Trubisky, white, Moore, Samuel, Van Denmark

 

On defense:  Carter, Ogunjobi, Ulofoshio, Andreessen, D Jackson, White, Ingram, Forrest, Herndon.  
 

If these guys were cut no one would notice they were gone except maybe White.  Hairston isn’t ready to start yet.
