[Jules Winnfield]

Steelers fans chime inSo does this give Gary Russell the #3 spot?

 

[jchapman70]

Jaguars released TE Jermaine Wiggins.

So many tems he could go sign with and factor into the passing game. BuffaloCinci...with Henry out 3 games he could be a nice weaponIndy...Manning could find him. I know they have Clark and others but...Philly...LJ SMith can't seem to get healthyDetNOSeattle...only have Marcus PollardWiggins has had some productive seasons over the past 2-3 years...maybe he can't block but he can catch plenty.

The Panthers would love to get him back. Jeff King could be good out of VT, and I've never been a big fan of Micheal Gaines.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS-Acquired QB Kelly Holcomb from Philadelphia for an undisclosed 2009 draft pick.

I am pretty sure NFL network was reporting as a fifth round pick in 2009. I don't know why the Vikings would give anything for him. He likely would have been cut by the Eagles.

I don't recall him starting, but he did suffer an injury (not serious), but if was enough to keep him behind Leach (starter), Cook and Abatte(sp). ... I also think that Gado and Lundy have done enough where his ability to swing to TB did not give him an advantage over those guys either.

[teamramrod]

TodayThe Green Bay Packers QB Ingle MartinCincinnati Bengals 8/24 Bobby Blizzard (TE) cut.

Watching Martin at the combine I thought he was going to be really good, and that he might pass Rodgers on the depth chart.

You and me both.

me 3...u have to wonder what happens to these guys...or is the organization misjudging his talent?...i'm sure others can atest to how good this guy looked coming out...u don't have to be a pro scout to see it...u just have to know fooball...anyway, i'm intrigued by the dynamics of player personnel & if i had to do it over, i would've somehow persued a career in pro football (coaching or front office)...but wouldn't we all, LOL

He was a 6th round pick why is everyone shocked?

James Jones was cut?

It's a fairly common name.

 

[Skinsfansince72]

Texans cuts...nothing surprising whatsoever...from houstontexans.com(defensive tackle) Thomas Johnson, (quarterback) Quinton Porter, (quarterback) Bradlee Van Pelt, (wide receiver) Harry Williams, (defensive tackle) Thomas Smith, (wide receiver) Charlie Adams, (cornerback) Derrick Roberson and (tight end) Ben Steele.

Is Jared Zabransky (Boise State hero QB) still on the team? I don't recall seeing stats from him from preseason. You'd think with Houston's lack of experience at QB, they'd at least give this kid a shot. He's got to be more talented and NFL ready than Sage Rosenfels (and that's coming from a Jew that's thrilled there's a few random Jewish players that still have NFL jobs!)

Are you sure he's a Jew? Many thought Bernie Kosar was a Jew but it turned out that he was an Arab.Btw-Sage has some game. Not sure how you are measuring "talent" but Sage has proven he can play in the NFL. With or without the talent, he's got enough game to stick around and be the backup.

I thought it was 1 PDT. So should be soon.

 

[Keith Lewis]

The Chiefs cut Casey Printers, this leaves them with only 2 QBS. Forgive my ignorance but how many QBs are typically on an NFL roster? I think it's 3 at a minimum, if i remember? I would have to think that if it is 3 and the Chiefs only have 2, and not even a good 2, maybe Leftwich or someone else is headed to KC soon?

Rams RB J.D.Washington must be sick of hearing the word *cut*...most of his life he heard it at his fathers job in Hollywood...cut/action Denzel Washington (father).

Not that unusual for a team to go with 2 QBs. Steelers have done it.

Steeler Cuts

Chukky Okobi, who came to training camp as the starting center, and running back Verron Haynes were among the players cut today by Coach Mike Tomlin as the Steelers reduced their roster to the final 53-player limit, the Post-Gazette has learned.

Also included in the cut were three rookie draft choices - defensive end Ryan McBean, a fourth-round pick; guard Cameron Stephenson (fifth) and wide receiver Dallas Baker (seventh).

Defensive end Shaun Nua, a seventh-round choice in 2005, and former special teams co-captain Chidi Iwuoma were also cut.

Haynes, a fifth-round draft choice in 2002, has been the team's third-down back for most of his career. But three of his previous five seasons have ended early because of knee injuries, including last season when he missed the final nine games.

Also cut were fullback John Kuhn, quarterback Bryan Randall, receivers Walter Young and Gerran Walker; tight ends Cody Boyd and Jon Dekker, tackles Jason Capizzi and Brandon Torrey; nose tackle Scott Paxson, linebackers Ron Stanley and Marquis Cooper; cornerbacks Anthony Madison and Jovon Johnson; and safeties Grant Mason and Mike Lorello.

This trend of the Steelers cutting fourth round picks in their first camp has got to stop.

Capizzi is the only surprise. I guess they're hoping he makes it through waivers and resigns to the practice squad. Kuhn and Young hopefully make it too.
