If I'm the Bills, I'm gonna go after him...since Vonn Miller is PUP.

I'd be interested to know which teams were in potential trade discussions.

Gotta figure those teams are gonna be calling him now.

It sounds like we should be talking to him honestly.  If he can hold the edge sign his ass.

Ol' Bill might go after Grier.

Thought about that as a possibility too.

We do love making deals with the Pats.  Corral for a 5th?

Hell, I'd take a sixth or seventh.

I mean, sure. But with Burns and Houston, as well as Haynes behind them...I didn't want to seem greedy. Lol

Business is Business.  You cannot have enough pass rushers. It's a long season a casualties happen along they way. I would talk to him to guage his interest at least.

For Bill it's a 2nd. But we will consider a 3rd if he talks real nice like.

Screw that bastard.

Just got home from work.  I see Jensen and D. Wright made it.  Two guys I thought may make the initial 53.  Erving got cut too, which I thought was a possibility.  Kinda shocked Jones got cut along with both STO and Taylor...figured one of two would stick.  Bubble guys Shi Smith, Brandon Smith and McCray all got the axe.

The biggest surprise to me is the number of TEs that were kept, especially Sullivan.  Ricci was a bubble guy, so no huge shock, but how in the heck did Sullivan make it?  Congrats to Sullivan, Lee, Ray, Thurman, Wooten, Jensen and Wright on beating the odds.

Sullivan has apparently impressed coaches - he’s always shown flashes.  Hoping he fits in nicely here.  That being said - I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s cut if we make a move later on

The term you're looking for is expendable.  There's quite a few left that fit that description. They are on borrowed time.

Agreed.  Sullivan and Wright will be the first 2 to go IMO with any new signings.  We def need another OL and DL

I'm not too worried about the oline at the moment.  My concern is the defense. And to some extent the offense skill players. But depth is a concern all over the roster.  It's about the same as it has always been, but trending in the right direction, or at least the competency of the staff whose deciding it anyway.

Eh, DL and CB.  Remember BC can play left tackle and Mayes can play RT, Corbett will return eventually too.  With Jackson's and Horn's injury history, I'd like one more corner as insurance.

Well, Holton Ahlers was cut by Seattle. They did him dirty sending him out only in the last 2 minutes to try to win the last preseason game. Still, he was quite good in preseason despite clearly not getting a lot of reps. Hope some team picks him up.
