It’s pretty rare for a top-15 draft pick to not even survive into a third season with the team that selected him. Bills linebacker Aaron Maybin could pull off the trick.

After playing only 21% of the team’s snaps on the Bills as a rookie, Maybin barely saw the field in 2009. He may be booted out of Buffalo before long. Coach Chan Gailey admitted that Maybin’s roster spot is “tenuous” after the season.

The Bills like linebacker Arthur Moats, who just finished his rookie season. They also re-signed Shawne Merriman. Where does Maybin fit?

“Right now he’s on the outside looking in,” Gailey said via the Buffalo News. “That’s where he is. If he improves, he’ll improve his status.”
