Roster cuts to be aware of

Here is a rundown of players I feel the Bills should at least take a look at that have been cut from their teams so far. If you feel someone else, or hear of someone else worth mentioning, please don't hesitate to add them into the comments, and I will do my best to update the list as I can. If the player(s) listed are taken up by another team, I will mark them as such. All data is being drawn from the usual suspects of profootballtalk.com and rotoworld.com, player bio info is from espn.com.

TE Anthony Becht, former first rounder, has played in all games his 10 year career, and started all but 2. About as solid a player at the position, good to great (when on a roll) blocker, decent receiver. I would prefer him on a short to long term replacement basis to Schouman, especially if Schou's injury will keep him out another 4+ weeks, we need SOMETHING better than Foschi as the #2 TE while Nelson is out on suspension.

LB Monty Beisel, 10 year vet, very much like Andra Davis, and if your like me, wincing at the thought of Mitchell being the only experienced depth we have, he might be the solution your looking for. Not a spectacular player, but solid enough to be the #4 LBer for a team, who won't kill you, but isn't exactly going to wow you either.

WR TJ Houshmandzadeh * The Houshinator has been signed by the Vikings, all Fantasy players with Farve now need to rush to sign him* Need player? Perhaps, a far better option than say Hardy (if he is somehow being kept, doubt it myself...). Do you think the team needs a better vet playing across from Evans? Maybe, I think so personally. The issue with Housh is simple, do we sacrifice any young WR to make room for him, and how much can he help us? We need to asses the situation here not like Madden players, and more like a chem professor trying to figure out how combustible the roster is. I think he could help, but the question is, what price do we pay for him in young talent? Also, there is the chance that the Seahawks may NOT cut him and swing a trade, they do have till lunchtime today.

C/G Nick Leckey Just released by the Saints he was their top interior backup till losing his job this summer. Has been in the league for 7 years, so knows his way around a NFL team and playbook. May be better a choice than our current crop of interior possibilities.

OLB Cody Brown Former 2nd round pick from UConn, was having serious issues converting to OLB for them. May be a fit for us this season as we will be running serious amounts of 4 down lineman this season as we transition. He showed good ability as a college rusher, but was deemed too small to play on the line. Hard to say if he has a future in the NFL, but Elvis Dumervil is not much larger than Brown is and has thrived. I feel he would be worth checking out myself.

OLBs Ricky Foley/Stevie Baggs Both men tied for the CFL lead in sacks last season, and decided to test the waters here in the NFL. Both have been cut, but both know how to get to a QB, and while both are considered undersized in the NFL, as situational players they could be very useful. I would at least check them out, if nothing else, they at least know what a sack is unlike many of our current OLBs do.

C Jason Spitz *Packers have opted to retain him, and no longer taking trade offers and will not release him* Big boy interior lineman who can play either guard or the center position. A 2006 3rd rounder he is still on the roster right now, but word is the Packers may be looking to trade, and then release him if no suitors call. Before missing 11 games last season he was considered the Packers best interior backup, and was being looked at as a possible starting challenger.

FB Jason Davis One of the stars of Hard Knocks this year, and also a good blocker as well. This is more of the fact that I have not been a fan of McIntyre the past couple of seasons. This more than any other player listed is one of those grass is greener thoughts.

OTs Jon Jansen and Adam Terry- Both are big guys, and both have been LTs. Injuries have derailed them both the past season(s), they maybe at the end of the line. BUT, compared to what we have backing up our OTs, I think they are worth looking at, especially if they are able to out play Green. These are two guys who if they have anything in the tank can start rather than backup at the RT spot.

OLB Alex Hall Solid player, only in his third year in the league, he is considered a better OLB than DE in the NFL, has some speed, did get three sacks for the Browns in 2008, none last year, but played in 30 of 32 games, so he is durable. Cards and Pats are showing interest in him.
