In three seasons with the Bills, cornerback Crezdon Butler has registered a total of four tackles. You read that right, not an average of four tackles per game, but four tackles total over the course of three years. That pretty much says it all. Such a complete lack of production should only be rewarded by being let go.
Tashard Choice has done a decent job as the back up to Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller. He has never put up eye-popping statistics, but has been able to pound the ball inside for tough yards with relative consistency. It might not be fair to say that Choice 'deserves' to be cut this offseason, but the move would be completely justifiable. It's clear by now that he has a pretty low ceiling, so why not give the garbage-time carries to a younger back with more potential? The Bills already have a couple in Zach Brown and Kendall Gaskins.
The Bills added no less than five wide receivers to the team this offseason. Not much is known about the Bills new offensive system, but so far it seems like a sure thing that the unit will be defined by its youth, speed and athleticism. Dickerson has been one of the Bills least productive receivers over the past few seasons, and there is really no longer any practical place for him on the roster.
Whether or not you're a Bills fan, chances are you had no idea who Garrison Sanborn was until you saw this slide. There's a reason for that. Outside of being the team's long snapper, Sanborn has been much less than impactful. While every team needs it's niche special teams players, surely the Bills could teach someone to long snap who will register more than three tackles per season.
This was a tough one. Smith is a veteran leader on the Bills, and has made some big plays in his time with the team. But, in keeping with the theme of 'out with the old, in with the new', the Bills no longer have any real need for Smith. Especially not at the current rate of close to $4 million a year. That money could be used to sign any three of the Bills talented rookie receivers, all of whom could replace Smith and quickly rise above his rank of glorified wildcat distraction.
