We didn't even offer our player a contract, he never missed a game in 4 seasons & not one snap in 46 games so what's up with that ?? There must be something else we're not hearing about for this to make sense, it's really odd.
Levitre being let go is odd, there must of been another reason

Re: Levitre being let go is odd, there must of been another reason
Could be a plethora of reasons why it's at this point...
Maybe Levitre and his agent told the team what kind of dollars they were looking at, and Nix said see who bites.
Maybe Levitre just doesn't want to be here, despite his initial comment.
Maybe Marrone wants maulers, not ballet dancers, on the interior line.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Levitre being let go is odd, there must of been another reason
Here are my thoughts on the situation without really any sources:
I think that Levitre was a perfect fit for what Gailey was trying to do because Levitre was an athletic pass protecting, get out on the edges run blocker while out of the spread.
Watching Marrone at Syracuse he tends to run a lot of straight forward power run plays with play action passing mixed in. This is not what Levitre's strengths are. He is not a straight forward mauler that Marrone's offense is most likely going to want. I think the new staff would take Levitre back but not for the money that he is going to require(prob 7-8 million).
Your absolutely right he is a durable player and he is probably a top 20 guard in the NFL but the money he is going to require for a player who might no longer fit the system we are trying to install might be the reason why he was not given a significant offer. It would not surprise me if the Bills made a push for Brandon Moore from the Jets, a guy who would fit this new system for a cheaper price(3-4 million) and then draft a Guard in the 3rd-4th round range such as a Larry Warford or Brian Winters who fit the same mold.

Marrone needs to adapt his systems to his talent. Guys pounding square pegs into round holes is what gets us drafting guys like Troup, because we absolutely HAVE to run a 3-4. It's all the rage in Milan, darling.
