their going to try to get him to the practice squadIf Oakland felt "stuck" with Palmer then they shouldn't have let him go. I think he's a fine QB. Generally the contract goes with a player so this is odd and seems mishandled by them. It's not surprising to see the Raiders shoot themselves in the foot.My point. Its absolutely devastating for a team to have so much dead money tied up.You could discuss whether that production (mostly in garbage time, none of which amounted to much in terms of wins) was worth the $13 million a year Oakland was paying Palmer (I certainly don't think it was), but I don't think it's going out on a limb to suggest that Carson Palmer's production for the Oakland Raiders this year (0 yards, 0 TDs) will be worth nowhere near the $9.5 million dollars he'll be eating up on Oakland's cap.Flynn, yes, wasted. In fairness though, over the last year and half Palmer has started 26 games for the Raiders, thrown for for 6500+ yards and 35 TDs, and last season posted a respectable 85.3 passer rating while throwing 22TDs and 14 INTs over 15 games.Peanuts compared to the $$ they wasted on Palmer/FlynnRoss Tucker@RossTuckerNFL14m
Close to $500K signing bonus down the drain. MT: @ProFootballTalk: Raiders are waiving fourth-round QB Tyler Wilson, per league source
and then cut Washington, out of Washington / Bolden / Blount surprised its washington getting cut. If Vereen goes down their not really a pass catching back there.
The stars were aligned for him in SF and he still couldn't make the cut (wide open WR competition, trained and roomed with kapernick, harbaugh talked him up). I'd be selling.Bears-Signed LB Jerry Franklin, CB Demontre Hurst, QB Jerrod Johnson, WR Ricardo Lockette, TE Fendi Onobun, FB Harvey Unga and DE Aston Whiteside to the practice squad.
Lockette was a niner and seahawk in 2011. Blazing speed, played very little 2 catches 105 yards. Still, it's always curious when a team takes a chance on a player that was on two other teams practice squads and didn't do much of anything.
Are they going to pull Vince Young back in?Breaking news this AM: #Packers have released QB B.J. Coleman. No word on who backup QB will be but evidently not Coleman per NFL source
That leaves the Pack with no back-up QB. They must be making a move for someone (Flynn maybe?) that has some grasp of the system to go into week one with no back-up.
I hope not, he was awful, his throws go all over the place, almost like he has no control of them. I imagine something will happen today or tomorrow, they can't enter week one with no back-up QB, I certainly hope they have a plan in place.Are they going to pull Vince Young back in?Breaking news this AM: #Packers have released QB B.J.

Here is the link:ugh... Seneca Wallace
I've been thinking this all summer. He's shown he's got the football intelligence to pick their O up quickly and has done that. Playing in the NFL is not the SEC, but he "has to" get a shot in practice if Rodgers gets hurt.Randall Cobb maybe as capable at QB as any backup out there.
As far as returns though, I read a few articles and their BB quotes in them that were like meh no worries there, Leon's got it. We're just trying the rooks to see what they can do. There was a confidence in Leon that really makes this a curious move.and then cut Washington, out of Washington / Bolden / Blount surprised its washington getting cut.

I'd have liked to see him stay in STL or go somewhere he can play. I don't know why the Iggles hang onto him if they aren't going to play him.Salas signed to Practice Squad.Salas, Shepard and Momah all cut.eagles cut salas
I like the ranking. They had Pashos as there #1 available Tackle and he was just signed by the Raiders.
how long does it take?Tyler Wilson clear waviers yet? Rotoworld was speculating that Tyler Wilson could get picked up. It would make sense for a team with an established QB like Green Bay, Pittsburgh etc.

not even signed to a practice squad, wowhope Ted Thompson kicks the tires.Tyler Wilson cleared waviers.
Maybe he deciding between multiple offers. I would be surprised if teams did not at least add him to the practice squad. I still think he is better than Laundry Jones.not even signed to a practice squad, wowhope Ted Thompson kicks the tires.Tyler Wilson cleared waviers.

Burton is a very good blocker for a WR so he should help the Jaguars there and on special teams.From NFL.com:
Stephen Burton, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver: Caldwell stayed busy, claiming Burton, the former Vikings wide receiver who is coming off his most promising August since he was selected in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
I am not sure how well Harper does as a blocker. But it sounds like the 49ers may look to use him in a similar way.A source told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Monday morning that the San Francisco 49ers are expected to sign fourth-round draft pick Chris Harper off the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad. Per Rapoport, the Seahawks "fought like crazy" to keep Harper, but the 49ers ultimately won the bidding war.
The 49ers made the move official Monday afternoon, when they announced Harper had been signed to a three-year deal.
After the 49ers lost athletic H-back prospect MarQueis Gray on waivers to the Cleveland Browns, they apparently settled on Harper as the fallback successor to Delanie Walker. At 6-foot-1 and 235 pounds, Harper could see time at tight end as well as wide receiver.
Harper impressed the Seahawks with his physicality and athleticism at rookie camp, but he quickly fell behind receivers Jermaine Kearse and Stephen Williams in training camp. Harper will be a developmental project in San Francisco, with the hope that he'll evolve into a matchup problem down the line.

Okay, so Harrell is gone but they still have four with Quinn pick up. Next to go?four QBs isn't really practical.Radio unofficially reporting McElroy will be cut, so, if true, that could leave an opening if they want to keep four QBs.Harrell was signed by the Jets a week or so ago. I haven't seen him cut yet.
He's a future coach-at what level I don't know, but between his time with the Browns and Packers he coached at Oklahoma State and they loved him. His football intelligence is very high and he has a knack for teaching.
Jets also cut Dan Carpenter. Is that his 3rd cut already?
In the last decade or so we've seen many teams shift from three to two, I can't imagine it going to four. Even when many of these teams had two, they also had one on the practice squad.
Brad Smith-a QB that can play other spots; that'd be fine like in years past. He, BTW, could sign an injury settlement and play again this year. Sore ribs is not exactly a normal out for the year injury.
I'll be surprised if the Jets have four heading into the season
I'd be really curious to see a net differential between how many players a team claimed, and how many of a team's cuts got claimed by other teams. The fact that a lot of Seattle and San Fran players are getting claimed is an indication of the overall talent level. The fact that Kansas City is claiming so many other teams' roster trash is an indication of the lack of talent. It's crazy to think that 7 of the 53 guys on KC's roster all failed to make the 53-man roster for a different franchise.
