NFL Roster Cuts: Bills Trim Roster To 53 Players

TORONTO - AUGUST 19:  Naaman Roosevelt #18 of the Buffalo Bills avoids the takle of Gijon Robinson #47 of the Indianapolis Colts during game action August 19 2010 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto Ontario Canada. (Photo by Brad White/Getty Images)

The Buffalo Bills have added 20 names to Saturday's massive NFL cut list, finalizing their 53-man roster in doing so. The list of Bills players let go today is below; if there's a star next to the name, that player has NFL practice squad eligibility (source). After the jump, you can find Buffalo's (tentative) final roster in depth chart form, and also broken down by position.

Tight end Shawn Nelson will be placed on Reserve/Suspended, while strong safety Jon Corto will start the year on the PUP list. Keep in mind, also, that the Bills might not be done wheeling and dealing.

QB Levi Brown (*), RB Joique Bell (*), RB Chad Simpson, RB Andre Anderson (*), FB Rodney Ferguson (*), WR James Hardy, WR Chad Jackson, WR Naaman Roosevelt (*), TE Derek Schouman (waived/injured), TE Andrew George (*), OT Kirk Chambers, OT Nick Hennessey (*), OG Andre Ramsey (*), OG Jason Watkins (*), C Sean Allen (*), C Christian Gaddis, DE Rashaad Duncan (*), ILB Donovan Woods (*), CB Ellis Lankster, CB Lydell Sargeant (*)

Hey Brian, is the bottom list the actual roster breakdown, or just who was on the roster prior to final cutdown?

I think we see Brown and Bell make the PS, though Bell has a chance of being snatched by another team. With the numbers of O-lineman, do you think the Bills pursue someone like Jansen or Spitz to fill in?

True, good point since Schouman got injure/waived though they might have him on speed dial

So once he is healthy he could be brought back, he does know the playbook

I think you nailed that one

I think Schouman will be getting a call when healthy, but no sooner than week 2. Schouman has shown he has the skill to be a solid NFL tight end, but has also an injury magnet.

Hope the front office is scouring the waiver wire for even respectable backup O-linemen. Slightly surprised at the number of LB’s and secondary kept. There’s a little flexibility there if an opportunity to get a little depth at O-line pops up.

by jcey on Sep 4, 2010 5:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wait until everyone has made their cuts.

Like the article on BB.com says the front office is looking over the other cuts. My bet is that we sign at least 2 more on the line (1 OT and one G/C) as well as 1 TE and maybe an OLB if any of value have been cut.

There's not a wide receiver who is fast enough, that J.P. Losman can't overthrow him on a fly pattern.

I am surprised they kept both David Nelson and Donald Jones. I would have thought they would have kept one of the more experienced receivers (Hardy/Jackson). It is an inexperienced group and should be interesting.

Questions

The Bills list Dominique Harris as a corner, but I thought he was a safety. Which is correct? I only remember him forcing that fumble in the Colts game and I think he wss playing safety, but i could be wrong…good call on the 10 linebackers (seems excessive to me since I only like 3 of them)…Buffalo’s PR department stated on the web site that the Bills will probably look to the waiver wire to upgrade the roster in some capacity. WR and OL?

Donald Jones over Chad Jackson? Didn’t expect Jones to make the roster.

Fun Fact

Royal Tennis is way cooler than regular tennis.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

I couldn't be happier about the OL cuts

They trimmed all the crappy depth offensive linemen. We have a skeleton crew, but they are at least half-competent.

Literally no depth on offense

8 OL is a shock, especially with a sore Wang, but not really a big shock. There weren’t exactly any guys were keeping. I can almost guarantee they’ll be looking all over for some depth this weekend. I’ve got my eye on Donald Thomas cut by Miami and Kraig Urbik by the Steelers.

I don’t really understand keeping 6 safeties, especially Cary Harris. Guess that’s due to Byrd’s injury and I suppose their ST prowess. At least that’s all I can think of. I bet a Harris is the first to go if we add someone else.

Surprised Jones made it over Jackson. What exactly has he shown this preseason? He’s just mediocre across the board, while Jackson at least possesses big play ability. I also thought Jackson had a better camp. I would have kept him and sent Jones to the PS, since it was highly unlikely he was going to be picked up elsewhere. Oh well.

I think I’m most shocked by Ellison. What does he give this team? I think this is a sign we’ll be playing a lot of 4-3…

Everyone keeps saying Bell will get picked up off waivers, but I’m not so convinced of that. He did great during pre-season, buut that doesn’t guarantee anyone will take him off waivers. We could very likely see him clear waivers and make the PS.

Don’t be so surprised, the Chargers were good at finding UDFA’s for their depth too. Not many of them stuck around, but it was definitely a trend for them. I’m guessing that we now know who was behind that trend.

Yikes. 8 OLs, one of whom currently has one hand. Two of the reserves are OTs so there’s exactly one guy to back up the three middle positions. I scanned the lists of cuts from other teams and not much really jumped out at me. I do seem to recall that some people were interested in center A Q Shipley—he’s now available.

Who gets cut when Nelson comes off of the suspended list? Who gets cut when Corto comes off of the PUP list?

I just think bringing him in would cause too much drama. You think there will be QB controversy if Edwards slips up at all with Fitz and Brohm? Leinart would probably force the controversy even with Edwards playing well.

That contract is irrelevant to any other team that signs him now that he’s been cut.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd.

Carried over my thinking about when people were looking at trading for him. But regardless, don’t see the Bills pulling the trigger on him.

I’m glad Chambers is gone. I hope to never again see him in a Bills uniform. And big ups to Jones,Nelson,and Coleman for making the team. I feel bad for Chad Jackson,i feel like he deserves to make an NFL roster.

Could throw out other QB’s that got cut then. I think the only one that might be worth the Bills time would be Leinart, but bringing him in now could kill whatever chemistry there is on O.

sorry, that was incoherent. What i was trying to say, is someone (maybe canadianbillsfan) has been doing a nice job with those posts about ppl putting there foot in their mouth, or being spot on with their predictions. They were alwways a good read. Wouldnt mind seeing another sometime soon.

Like everyone else, I’m disappointed that J. Bell got cut. I’d like him to stick around the PS but it would be great for him if someone in need of help gave him a shot.

J. Bell to Denver

The Broncos are pretty desperate at RB; wouldn’t be surprised to see him claimed there; I hope he makes it to the PS.

I’m in MN right now on business and the Vikings made a big push for Housh last year. They’re disavowing interest now. Hope the Bills take a hard look since Evans and Parrish are the only guys with any experience.

Something's got to be wrong with that guy

if Seattle cut him. Seattle isn’t any better off than Buffalo at WR IMO. If anything, I think they are worse. I think that guy got his payday & lost the fire. I can remember once upon a time he was battling just to make Cincy’s roster. He made it all the way up to #2, had a couple big years, & poof. Gone.

by billskk69 on Sep 5, 2010 7:25 AM EDT up reply actions  

he lead the team in receptions last year

i believe,.. its not exactly poof hes gone, unless you mean, proof hes gone, hes not on the team..

by tyoungs25 on Sep 5, 2010 8:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

True

Which is why I don’t get cutting your leading receiver. A good analogy would be the Bills cutting Lee Evans (except Evans can be a legit #1 in the right circumstance). I guess my point is that even being the leading receiver on a crappy receiving squad, he still appears to be a shadow of his former self as a Bengal. I see the same thing happening to him that happened to Peerless Price when he left Buffalo to be the #1 in Atlanta. That’s all I meant. If he resigns somewhere where he is in a similar situation as he was in Cincy, then maybe he can resurrect his career. He’s just not a #1 receiver like he thinks he is.
I also agree with NHBillzFan’s statement below. However, many consider Hasselbeck to be an elite QB. I certainly don’t and never have. Maybe if he could stay healthy, but when has that ever happened?

by billskk69 on Sep 5, 2010 10:23 AM EDT up reply actions  

Owens led the team in receptions and yards last season. He’s gone. Most say he’s done. If they didn’t keep Owens, who can still bring it, why would they bring in Houshmanzadeh?

You see the oline coach just quit in seattle? it looks like that franchise is in total disarray to be honest….it amlost reminds me of what the bills did last year. getting rid of a key player and a coach right before the season starts….recipe for disaster. housh will resign somewhere and have a solid year.

Needs

I keep seeing everyone talk about possible upgrades off the waiver wire—QB, WR, and might even consider TE since Nelson gets back Week 4. There are some players who’ve been dropped that may be legitimate upgrades based on skill. But we’re a week from watching the Bills slap the fish and the start of the regular season. I think the big consideration needs to be could these “upgrades” step in with such little lime left to prepare to contribute? Instead, I’d focus on needs. The Bills NEED some depth at OL. I’m liking Urbik with his flexibility to play both sides on guard and center. I’m also thinking Forney could be a nice pickup who would give some good depth and provide the young line some veteran leadership.
