The Buffalo Bills announced their final 53-man roster this past weekend. The roster currently stands as follows**:
QB: J.P. Losman, Trent Edwards
RB: Marshawn Lynch, Anthony Thomas, Fred Jackson, Dwayne Wright, Josh Scobey
H-Back/FB: Ryan Neufeld
WR: Lee Evans, Peerless Price, Roscoe Parrish, Josh Reed, Sam Aiken
TE: Robert Royal, Kevin Everett, Matt Murphy
OL: Jason Peters, Langston Walker, Derrick Dockery, Jason Whittle, Melvin Fowler, Duke Preston, Brad Butler, Kirk Chambers
DE: Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, Ryan Denney, Eric Powell, Ryan Neill
DT: Larry Tripplett, Kyle Williams, John McCargo, Tim Anderson, Jason Jefferson
LB: Angelo Crowell, Paul Posluszny, Keith Ellison, Coy Wire, Mario Haggan, Josh Stamer, John DiGiorgio
CB: Terrence McGee, Jason Webster, Kiwaukee Thomas, Ashton Youboty, Jabari Greer
S: Donte Whitner, Ko Simpson, Jim Leonhard, John Wendling, George Wilson
K: Rian Lindell
P: Brian Moorman
**This roster does not include DE Anthony Hargrove, who is suspended for the first four games of the year.
The biggest surprise cuts from the preseason roster include veteran QB Craig Nall, who was third-string last season, and was surpassed by third-rounder Edwards this preseason, and OT Terrance Pennington, who spot started at times last season and was expected to be a top backup on the Bills' revamped line this year.
The roster may be revamped in the coming days, as it is unlikely Buffalo will carry only two quarterbacks. The Bills may scour through players that were cut from other teams to fill some holes, or may enter the season the way they currently stand.
Updates will be coming much more frequently as the season gets underway Thursday for the Saints and Colts, and Sunday or Monday for the rest of the league.
Welcome to the 2007-2008 NFL Season, football fans!
