Really?

[PromoTheRobot]

Why do people want to cut players early as retribution of some kind?

[Fan in San Diego]

The guy can't stay healthy, I don't have a problem cutting him.

[Doc]

Depends on whether he can be cut without there being an injury grievance.  If he can, cut him and tell him to keep working-out and show up for camp next year.

[reed83 4th Rounder]

IR him

[Captain Hindsight]

He has been holding up the lunch line

[fansince88]

I dont like his mother! Cut him!...
Really, lets keep him for depth untill the final roster day.

Unless you can explain why today is better than next week, or IR you should stop creating threads like this.

Is there a limit to the number of players you can IR?

[NoJustice]

Put him on the PUP list. If he isn't ready and able to contribute by week six then IR him.

I think 'waived-injured' is the most likely scenario for Troup

If we are lucky, maybe Belicheat* will claim him off the waived-injured list ala Jake Ballard

If not, the Bills will try to reach an injury settlement and part ways for good (JMO)

How many times will pup have to be explained? Do we need a sticky?

Here's my reasons for letting him go.

1. He can't stay healthy at all.
2. Back problems...lingering back problems are a major issue with this kid.
3. He has done absolutly nothing for the Buffalo Bills. We haven't even seen flashes of him being worthy of keeping a roster spot.

Cut him, waive him , IR him...whatever it is. Bring in another body with potential and lets move on already.

It's OVER for him. Get over it people and move forward.

I understand frustration that a high draft choice hasn't been able to contribute due to injury.  However:
1. the injury is not his fault
2. by all accounts I have seen, he has worked hard to recover, be ready and be a good player
3. he has some talent (at least the Bills thought so when they drafted him in round 2)
4. there is no disadvantage to the Bills to put him on PUP or injured reserve except that they have to pay him.

If they think he is working hard and could pan out, then I think they should keep him on PUP or IR.

Our roster isn't full as it is. What's the rush for today?

[MARCELL DAREUS POWER]

IR makes too much sense.... give him one more shot.  he could have drastic improvement with more rest

With rosters at 90 players league-wide, I think it is pretty safe to say that there is not another "body with potential" to move on with.
Now, after final cuts maybe there will be, but I am confident that the Bills will have had to place him on PUP, IR or cut him by then.

I know that you are frustrated, but there is absolutely no benefit to the Bills to cut him now.

The bills are at 86 today. They could sign 4 DTs without cutting him today if they liked anyone.


And again, the letters PUP should be banned from the board currently - no ones eligible

[Frez]

I don't think he makes the team this year based on Chan's comments and what he has done for this team. to many others to give a starting chance to that are 100% healthy. I know it sucks but it's REALITY.

Why the hurry? 2 years is enough for me to see if a rookie can play or not.
