NFL Player Cuts beginning (1 Viewer)

[mad sweeney]

Seahawks cut 3rd string QB David Greene to make roster room for Alvin Pearman, who they acquired through a trade with the Jags. This leaves the Seahawks with only 2 rostered QBs leading one (or at least me) to believe that they possibly have a deal imminent for a vet backup. The sources of the Brunell rumor stated that they still believed it would happen in a few days, even after the Skins and Gibbs denied it. In addition Leftwich and Tim Hasselbeck have become available. I doubt they'd go for a rookie since they want someone that can be #2 to free Seneca Wallace up for WR/Slash type action.

RB Danny Ware

Ware getting cut REALLY surprised me. He played well, and was getting 1st team snaps just a week and a half ago. The Jets kept FIVE TE's. ??? Wierd. 5 TE's and only 4 RB's.

5 te's?

Well Dearth is really the LS, but listed as a TE.... but still.... 4 TE's and two FB's and 2 RB's? I'm pretty pessed. Ware should have made the team. Besides, freakin Jones is still not fully participating in practice, and Ware will get picked up, he won't make it to the TS.

Maybe This Guy Is In Charge Of The Jets Roster?!?Btw, with Hartwell, the bengals.com website says they may try to resign him when some other injuries clear up. Reggie McNeal might be known to you guys as one of the 10 arrested Bengals, of which I believe at least 4 or no longer with the team if not more.

I'll be intrigued by who the Bengals bring in, I'm convinced it'll be more than a couple guys (maybe Pittman?)

Surprised we haven't been treated to a "Chad Johnson Cut!" or "Steven Jackson Cut!" thread

Btw, is there anywhere a handy list of what 2007 draft picks got cut? I was surprised to see the Steelers got rid of 3 of their choices already.

The last time I checked, the Pats carried 4 TEs.

Biddle too althought the Panthers have proven they don't know what a #2 WR looks like

I've tried to remind people of this all preseason but fantasy players have a hard time remembering two cardinal rules:

a) don't over value rookies

b) don't over emphasize preseason performance in your rankings

Does Pearman have a shot at beating out Morris for the backup job?

True, but the Seahawks haven't usually. And they have been trying to get someone other than Wallace to be able to take over so they can risk injury to Seneca by getting him on the field. With rumors of them going after Holcomb and Brunell, I highly doubt they plan on going into the season with ony 2.

As I understand it, Pittman will not be moving to FB now, that he will be the RB2 and Askew will play starting FB. RB3 will be Graham.

Does Pearman have a shot at beating out Morris for the backup job?

Pearman will be a return guy primarily. If Morris is at risk for losing backup carries, it is from backup FB/RB Weaver.One thing I do wonder about is that I thought Burleson would have return duties. If Pearman takes these over, is it to free up Burleson to start over Hackett? I know they were in competition, but I thought Hackett had won that. Just a thought.

Are you asking if they're more comfortable with Caddy than Darby? Or more comfortable with Caddy in general? I don't think they ever lost comfort.Darby racked up a bunch of garbage yards against garbage players who got cut today. Also, he couldn't block. I imagine he'll make it to the practice squad.

Last I heard (yesterday), they were still planning to play Pitt a lot at FB. Askew will get some time as well, and obviously be the short-yardage FB.

I don't think they ever lost comfort.Darby racked up a bunch of garbage yards against garbage players who got cut today. Also, he couldn't block. I imagine he'll make it to the practice squad.

I meant more comfortable with Caddy staying healthy, producing, hence not the need to take a flyer on a rookie. Ended up with Caddy in a draft although I had mostly been avoiding him (was late 5th round and too much to pass on) so I am not that familiar with the situation.

If Pearman takes these over, is it to free up Burleson to start over Hackett? I know they were in competition, but I thought Hackett had won that. Just a thought.

They also wanted rookie Josh Wilson to be a kick returner. I think they will keep Burleson at PR, he's just getting really good at it. Pearman will probably take Morris' place on KRs. I don't think anyone told Momo that you're allowed to return a kick past the 25 yard line.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Darby was cut?

Were they watching these games?Who else do they have??

at who else do they have.were you the guy saying darby was the best back on their roster a few weeks ago?

I doubt I said that, but feel free to search for it.I obviously meant after Caddy. Pittman was making the squad too. However, after those two, who else could seriously shoulder the load as the primary back? Graham? I don't think so.Darby did rack up his yards in the 2nd half of preseason games, but the point is that he looked good. He ran hard and hit the hole quickly. Now as far as blocking - really didn't see the issue in the 2-3 TB games I saw. Regardless I am pretty surprised he didn't make the grade.

 

[cacksman]

Actually now that I look back at what Morris did in SA absence I think Pearman might have a shot at the #2 job. Morris was awful in relief last year.

He actually didnt do too bad, I remember he had a couple 100 yard games and in case you didnt know, Seneca Wallace was also the QB when he was starting.

 

[Donnybrook]

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS-Traded RB Alvin Pearman to Seattle for an undisclosed draft pick. Placed DE James Wyche and WR Mike Walker on injured reserve. Released QB Byron Leftwich, G Dan Connolly, S Jamaal Fudge, LB Nick Greisen, DT Seth Payne, WR Charles Sharon, CB Bruce Thornton, CB Dee Webb, S Josh Gattis, DT Joe Anoai, LB Kevis Coley, DL Walter Curry, OT Ryan Gibbons, DE Tyler King, DB Jamar Landrom, LB Roy Manning, G Pete McMahon, CB Rashod Moulton and TE Isaac Smolko.

We all knew this was coming but I thought the Jags would have kept him on roster in an attempt to trade him.

 

[cacksman]

One thing I do wonder about is that I thought Burleson would have return duties. If Pearman takes these over, is it to free up Burleson to start over Hackett? I know they were in competition, but I thought Hackett had won that. Just a thought.

It was assumed Hackett had the spot since he played well last year, but this preseason Burleson has outplayed him in every aspect. Its hard to say.

 

[turnit643]

So, it's 24 hours now to pass through waivers and then the eligible players can be added to practice squads ... is that correct?

ETA: found this ... excerpt from 2006 NFL Record and Fact Book

WAIVERS

The waiver system is a procedure by which player contracts or NFL rights to players are made available by a club to other clubs

in the League. During the procedure, the 31 other clubs either file claims to obtain the players or waive the opportunity to do so—

thus the term “waiver.” Claiming clubs are assigned players on a priority based on the inverse of won-and-lost standing. The

claiming period is three business days from the beginning of the League Year through the last business day before July 4, and 24

hours after July 4 through the conclusion of the regular season. If a player passes through waivers unclaimed, he becomes a free

agent. All waivers are no recall and no withdrawal. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, from the beginning of the

waiver system each year through the trading deadline (October 17, 2006), any veteran who has acquired four years of pension

credit is not subject to the waiver system if the club desires to release him. After the trading deadline, such players are subject

to the waiver system.



ACTIVE/INACTIVE LIST

The Active/Inactive List is the principal status for players participating for a club. It consists of all players under contract

who are eligible for preseason, regular-season, and postseason games. Teams are permitted to open training camp with no more

than 80 players under contract and thereafter must meet two mandatory roster reductions prior to the season opener. Teams

will be permitted an Active List of 45 players and an Inactive List of eight players for each regular-season and postseason game.

Provided that a club has two quarterbacks on its 45-player Active List, a third quarterback from its Inactive List is permitted to

dress for the game, but if he enters the game during the first three quarters, the other two quarterbacks are thereafter prohibited

from playing. Teams also are permitted to establish Practice Squads of up to eight players who are eligible to participate in

practice, but these players remain free agents and are eligible to sign with any other team in the league.

August 29.....................Roster reduction to 75 players

September 2.................Roster reduction to 53 players

September 3.................Teams establish a Practice Squad of up to eight players

In addition to the squad limits described above, the overall roster limit of 80 players remains in effect throughout the regular

season and postseason. The overall limit is applicable to players on a team’s Active, Inactive, and certain Exempt Lists, players on

the Practice Squad, and players on the Reserve List as Injured, Physically Unable to Perform, Non-Football Illness/Injury, and

Suspended by Club.

And that means the Jets should carry 5?

I guess that is one way to interpret that. My point was that it is not unheard of, especially if BB, the football "deity", does it.

One is a long snapper. At least two others aren't traditional TEs (h-back/ blockers). Pociask is more of a fullback anyway. With the way rosters are juggled during this next week,one may get traded, cut, or Kowalewski may even end up on the PS. They were trying to trade Ryan.

Not quoting long post but long snappers are underrated spots and most coaches know that. It's a nightmare if you have a bad long snapper. Hopefully the Jets have that coverred.

On a similar level, Zak DeOssie has been practicing long snapping because his dad did it. He may do it next year or the year after but they won't risk error having him do that now.

Today is the deadline, most teams took Sunday off so...Tomorrow waiver claims go thruSorry for the nitpick it's just the dates don't equal "24 hours now" as teams got the cuts in early.NFL offices open M-F they go thru claims so someone cut yesterday won't necessarily be claimed today, 24 hours.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

MINNESOTA VIKINGS-Released S Greg Blue, S Patrick Body, DT Conrad Bolston, WR Jason Carter, OL Kyle Cook, CB Dovonte Edwards, RB Ciatrick Fason, DT Howard Green, LB George Hall, WR Cortez Hankton, LB David Herron, CB Chad Johnson, C Norm Katnik, OT Jimmy Martin, WR Billy McMullen, WR Martin Nance, TE Richard Owens, RB Artose Pinner, DE Khreem Smith, TE Stephen Spach, QB Tyler Thigpen and WR Chandler Williams.

Thoughts:Greg Blue should make someone else's roster. I'm disappointed they cut Nance - I really thought he might do something.Thigpen will be on the practice squad.They kept Mewelde Moore? Off the top of my head, I can't think of who the RB4 is on the team if they cut both Pinner and Fason.

Naufahu TahiMore of a fullback, but can be a short yardage guy and is a good special teams player. Kind of a shock, but Pinner doesn't really have any speed and Fason wasn't that good.

If someone wants to play in the NFL, they should take up long snapping and become great at it, and if they have borderline talent, they will find a job, as long as they are great at long snapping.

It was assumed Hackett had the spot since he played well last year, but this preseason Burleson has outplayed him in every aspect. Its hard to say.

For the record, the Seahawks.com depth chart, post-cuts/trades, still has Hackett listed as starter with Burleson behind him.PR-Burleson, ObumanuKR-Burleson, Josh Wilson (rookie safety)

A buddy of mine from HS carved out a nice 8 year career doing longsnapping. He was also a great blocking TE (starting TE for Plummer's Sun Devils) and H-back with good hands but slow at 260lbs. It was long snapping that kept him rostered on teams with faster and better receiving TEs for the last 3-4 years, as well as getting him rostered on the Bengals as an undrafted FA in the first place.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS-Traded RB Alvin Pearman to Seattle for an undisclosed draft pick. Placed DE James Wyche and WR Mike Walker on injured reserve. Released QB Byron Leftwich, G Dan Connolly, S Jamaal Fudge, LB Nick Greisen, DT Seth Payne, WR Charles Sharon, CB Bruce Thornton, CB Dee Webb, S Josh Gattis, DT Joe Anoai, LB Kevis Coley, DL Walter Curry, OT Ryan Gibbons, DE Tyler King, DB Jamar Landrom, LB Roy Manning, G Pete McMahon, CB Rashod Moulton and TE Isaac Smolko.

We all knew this was coming but I thought the Jags would have kept him on roster in an attempt to trade him.

I believe the thought was that would be too much of a distraction for too lengthy a period for the team to deal with, so they just cut bait.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

WTF? So is Andre Hall cut or not?

 

[Bri]

Rams traded Ryan Fitzpatrick to the Bengals

 

[QuizGuy66]

Here's an update on the Bengals, from Bengals.com. Incidentally Wilson is the 5th of the "Cincinnati 10" to now no longer be with the team. The 5 remaining are: Jonathan Joseph, Deltha O'Neal, Frostee Rucker, Chris Henry, and possibly never playing again Odell Thurman.-QG

The Bengals made three more roster moves Sunday when they claimed three players off waivers and added them to the 53-man roster. Cut in the exchange were running back Quincy Wilson, cornerback Blue Adams and rookie offensive lineman Dan Santucci. Wilson was cut in favor of rookie running back Cliff Dawson, a free agent out of Harvard cut by the Colts. Adams, who only appeared once in uniform this preseason because of a neck injury, got waived when the Bengals opted for fifth-round pick David Jones, a rookie cornerback cut from the Saints. Santucci, who could be added to the practice squad Monday, also was cut to make room for former Ohio State linebacker Anthony Schlegel, cut Saturday by the Jets. The Bengals added seven players to their practice squad that they cut Saturday: Safety John Busing, offensive lineman Dane Uperesa, wide receiver Bennie Brazell, fullback Chris Manderino, defensive tackle Matt Toeina, tight end Tim Day, and guard Nate Livings. Also, clearing waivers and reverting to the season-ending injured reserve list were kicker Aaron Elling, cornerback Brandon Williams and cornerback T.J. Wright.

Not quoting long post but long snappers are underrated spots and most coaches know that. It's a nightmare if you have a bad long snapper. Hopefully the Jets have that coverred.On a similar level, Zak DeOssie has been practicing long snapping because his dad did it. He may do it next year or the year after but they won't risk error having him do that now.

Dearth is indeed, one of, if not the best LS's in the NFL. I also understand that Kowalewski and Posciask are H Back types, while Ryans and Baker are traditional TE's, but what I'm really whining about is the fact that Ware got cut. TJ has missed almost the entire preseason and call me paranoid, but that Dallas AC, the QB coach that got suspended was in Chicago, where Jones was at the time. Anyone see the guns TJ has in place of arms? That aint natural. If anything happens to Jones, it's Stacy Tutt and Leon? Ware played very well, and that includes TC where I saw him five times up close. I think this is a major mistake by the Tangini regime. I don't think Ware clears waivers... GB anyone? The kid can pick up a blitz, too.

St. Louis cut Jon Alston. That's too bad. Seemed like the kid was "getting it" this year.

I wonder if he might not show up somewhere else though.

Won't pay off for a while but when Engram is done and if Hackett is gone he's a good talent. Very glad he made the team.

The Giants continued to reshape their roster today, adding two players and deleting one. The newcomers will join the team after the Giants acquired them via waiver claims: guard Kevin Boothe from the Oakland Raiders and cornerback Dovonte Edwards from the Minnesota Vikings. Both players were waived this weekend. The Giants also terminated the contract of G Zach Pillar.
