Bills Make Roster Moves

Hello Bills fans. Over the last couple of days we have all been through a lot. With Everett’s serious injury and a few others going down, we have made some roster moves. Matt Murphy, who was released before the game on Sunday, was re-signed. The Bills also signed tight end Michael Gaines. Gaines played for Carolina last year. He is a big tight end known for his blocking. The Bills also placed safety Ko Simpson on injured reserve after he fractured his ankle on Sunday. The team also released backup defensive end Eric Powell. That is a surprise move being that we only have three healthy ends and one is primarily a long snapper. Defensive tackle Jason Jefferson has moved over from defensive tackle to play end to spell Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay. Look for the Bills to sign a few players tomorrow. They will most likely be picking up a safety and a defensive end. It would not surprise me if they also picked up a linebacker and a cornerback due to both Jason Webster and Coy Wire getting hurt. Webster is most likely out for the year and Wire will most likely miss at least four weeks. I still can’t believe that all of this has happened and we are only going into week two. Lets Go Bills and please pull together and win one this Sunday.

Side note from Fridays game

August 19, 2007 By: Billy5407 Category: Aaron Schobel, Anthony Hargrove, Buffalo Bills, Chris Kelsay, Eric Powell, NFL, Ryan Denney No Comments →

The Buffalo Bills took a hit on the defensive side of the ball Friday. Ryan Denney broke a bone in his foot during the opening kickoff. Denney has turned out to be a very important piece of our defense. He rotates with Chris Kelsay so that we always have someone fresh. He played well last year and I was expecting another year like that out of him. There is no immediate timetable for his return. I am really upset because with him being out, Schobel and Kelsay are the only two guys with experience in our defense. Anthony Hargrove is suspended for the first four games after he violated the leagues substance abuse policy. Hopefully Eric Powell will be able to fill in for Denney. The Bills might be waiting for the first round of cuts at the end of August to see who is out there. We need someone that has experience playing in the cover two. Simeon Rice would be an option but I don’t think the Bills will want to pay him the money he is looking for. Maybe either Powell or one of the young guys in camp will surprise us all.
