The Buffalo Bills have to cut their roster down to 53 players by Saturday at 4 p.m. The team can do so by any means necessary.
The one we’ll see the most is players being out-right cut… but trades, something Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane hasn’t been shy about doing in recent years at this time of the NFL calendar, are certainly on the table as well.
Less than 24 hours prior to that deadline, the Bills are reportedly looking into moving two players via trade. According to Albert Breer from the MMQB, two Bills players have had their named raised in trade talks: wide receiver Robert Foster and tight end Jason Croom.
Both players very much make sense to consider moving for the Bills. The pair guys promising spells in the 2018 season. Both jumped into the fold late in the season and showed promise, before laying duds last season. Foster couldn’t manage to get active on game days in 2019 while Croom spent the year on the injured reserve list.
In addition, both have had injuries during this year’s training camp. However, both have recently returned to the fold, so teams could be interested in them.
During that mentioned 2018 season, Foster had 27 catches for 571 yards and nearly led the Bills in receiving despite playing in only 13 games but was edged out by Zay Jones in the season finale. Last year Foster, a UDFA rookie in 2018, only had three catches.
Croom, 26, actually did lead the Bills in receiving via tight ends, beating out Charles Clay that season with 22 catches and 259 yards. He made three starts late that season.
