NFL cutdown day is one of the saddest days in the NFL season. Every team has to get their roster to 53 players ahead of the regular season, which kicks off next week. With most of the teams ending the preseason numbered between 80 and 90 players, that means a lot of releases happening all at once.
The Buffalo Bills sorted their roster plans out, which now includes a few former Bills returning home. Remember, general manager Brandon Beane is known to bring people back home to Buffalo if the price is right. So who’s out there still, ready to join Jordan Phillips and Jordan Poyer? Another Jordan, you say? Let’s take a quick look!
The Las Vegas Raiders cut former wide receiver Justin Shorter who was drafted by the Bills in the fifth round back in 2023. Offensive tackle Conor McDermott and defensive end Casey Toohill were both released by the Houston Texans.
It may have been short but Marquez Valdes-Scantling was on the Bills roster — and now he’s no longer on the Seattle Seahawks’ roster. One of Beane’s most controversial draft picks in Buffalo was defensive end Boogie Basham, and now Boogie is looking for another new team after being released by the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday.
A name that Bills fans heavily debated was wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins who, after getting let go by the Bills had a few bright spot for the New York Giants. Unfortunately however, that success wasn’t sustained and he was let go by the Giants before signing with the San Francisco 49ers. Now, he’s been released by the 49ers too.
Taking a trip down memory lane is thinking about wide receiver Robert Woods and the fire he brought to those Bills teams. Father time though is undefeated as the veteran didn’t make the final 53 for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Buffalo seems to be pretty set on tight ends for now but Jacksonville did cut Quintin Morris who was TE3 with the Bills in recent seasons.
Finishing up is safety Mike Edwards, whose time in Buffalo felt like it went by in the blink of an eye last season. He went back to the Kansas City Chiefs hoping to find success but was unable to secure a roster spot.
