Here's our crack at the Buffalo Bills' 53-man roster ahead of roster cutdown day.

Teams must have their rosters down from 90 to 53 players by 4:00 p.m. ET on August 27, meaning that general managers have a bevy of difficult decisions to make over the next few hours.

In a “rare move and for one day only,” Erie County is allowing Bills fans to buy “Bills bonds” to “help fund the new Highmark Stadium,” according to Sandra Tan of the BUFFALO NEWS. But it is “not a cheap or easy process.” For one day only, the Erie County Comptroller’s Office will make “Bills bonds” available for Western New Yorkers, Bills fans and other “small investors” to “purchase on the retail market.” This will allow residents to “directly buy tax-exempt municipal bonds to help finance the stadium construction.” The retail sale to individual Bills bond buyers “will be only on Sept. 23,” the day before the “flood gates open to all other outside investors.” The bonds will “help finance the county’s obligation to pay” $250M toward stadium construction. Half is being paid in cash. The remaining $125M is “being paid through these bonds.” But buying Bills bonds is “much more complex than making an online Amazon purchase, and involves the use of a brokerage account.” They are also “expensive, and probably a no-go for many residents already facing the prospect of much higher stadium ticket prices.” Comptroller Kevin Hardwick noted that “you have to be willing to invest a minimum of $5,000.” Individual buyers “must set up a brokerage account with one of the firms participating in the initial bond sale.” That would be Jefferies, Ramirez & Co., TD Securities, Raymond James and J.P. Morgan (BUFFALO NEWS, 8/26).
