The Buffalo Bills cut 21 players Friday, trimming their roster to the NFL-mandated 53 players. Here’s a closer look at the final cuts:
Most significant move: It's clearly the decision to release Manny Lawson and Jerome Felton. Both veterans were expected to make the 53-man roster, so both moves qualify as surprises. Salary cap considerations were likely part of it; the Bills will save $2.35 million from the Lawson's deal and $1.55 million from Felton's deal. But there could be other factors. Lawson faces a potential suspension for a personal-conduct policy violation, while the Bills are excited about the play of undrafted rookie fullback Glenn Gronkowski.
