| Quote: | | Per multiple reports, the Bills will be releasing Moorman. Tim Graham of the Buffalo News reports that the Bills will be re-signing Powell. |
Longest tenured Bills player gets cut during the season. Dumb move IMO. Ugh I am bummed.

Still doesn't make sense to cut him now. If he was costing them games it would be understandable, but that hasn't happened.

Exactly, and to boot, Moorman is the only one who has done the holding for Xpts and FGs for as long as I can remember.

The point is, why find someone when Moorman for years and years was perfect holding for FGs, and is still a solid punter.

Based off what? This isn't 2006 anymore he is ranked in the bottom in almost all punting categories so far through 3 games and even last year he was near the bottom in punts inside 20 and net average. |
