For at least the next day or possibly two, the members that survived the final cut down to the required 53 man limit can breathe a little easier. They shouldn't get too comfortable however, as there were surprises all over the NFL about players that were unceremoniously dumped by their NFL team.
The Bills wound up with some strange positional depth, which suggests on the surface that other moves could be coming.
The Bills wound up with some strange positional depth, which suggests on the surface that other moves could be coming.
From the 53 man roster standpoint, here is the positional breakdown, along with who made the team:
OL (8) D. Bell, C. Green, G. Hangartner, E. Wood, C. Howard, A. Levitre, J. Meredith, and E. Wang
TE (2) J. Stupar and J.P. Forschi
FB: (1) C. McIntyre
WR: (5) R. Parrish, L. Evans, D. Nelson, D. Jones and S. Johnson
RB: (3): C. J. Spiller, F. Jackson and M. Lynch
QB (3): T. Edwards, R. Fitzpatrick, and B. Brohm
DL (7) A. Carrington, D. Edwards, S. Johnson, J. McCargo, M. Stroud, T. Troup, and K. Williams
LB (10) A. Coleman, A. Davis, C. Ellis, K. Ellison, C. Kelsay, A. Maybin, K. Mitchell, A. Moats, P.
Posluszny, and R. Torbor.
CB (6): R. Corner, D. Florence, D. Harris, T. McGee, L. McKelvin, and A. Youboty
S (5): J. Byrd, C. Harris, B. Scott, D. Whitner, and G. Wilson
Spec Team (3): R. Lindell, B. Moorman and G. Sanborn
Between the LB corp and the defensive secondary the Bills have combined to commit to 21 spots on the roster. That seems a little much on the defensive side, which also means that the majority of your special teams units are being comprised by those guys as well.
What seems light for now is the tight end position, the running backs due to the health or potential limited availability of Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson, and only five wide receivers.
There is already speculation that the Bills will be looking to bring in a tight end to add to the mix, as there were a number that were waived all around the league today, including ex-Bill Derek fine.
