Predict a good player getting cut (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

Ernest Jones LB Rams. Something weird going down there.

Ernest goes to camp, and finds himself kicked out.

I would be so sad.

He’s an anchor of my defense in 2 IDP leagues.

They gave him permission to seek a trade - I do not think he’s a cut candidate because he’s a 25 y/o elite LB,

"The only market worse than RBs is the one for LBs" has been said by more than a few radio hosts .
I'm real curious here.

We've seen two Atlanta lose starting LBs and they can't even find a job. Rashaan Evans was like fifth in tackles in the NFL then out of work.

The LB position market can be real quirky and odd and it's usually not in the players favor

I am deeply skeptical that Ernest Jones gets cut.

Sure sure but it's been brought up that two recent late summer LB trades were for sixth and seventh round picks the last two years. That's the worst route, lowest value.
I'm not saying that's what his is but the market can be bad quick and his agent needs to get on this right away and be careful.

Gregg Rosenthal suggests the Rams were going to start a UDFA over him, a captain.

So
maybe that wasn't a look or $ situation they wanted

I can't seem to find that. Sean McVay came out and said that "we never said that he requested a trade." He adds, "Jones has been a total pro about the situation."

Apparently the Rams alerted Jones that they are open to trading him. He did not request it. There are no reports of potentially getting cut.

Gregg's just chatting saying his guess

Saw that - he said best guess.

Sounds like the Rams are letting Jones find out his value.

A week before the season.

Again not very good anymore but a notable name could be James bradberry. They gave him a shot safety but it doesn't seem like it's working out.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kadarius Toney should get cut, but I'd be pushing it to call him "good"

I’m so tempted to claim him in my dynasty league. I have a roster spot. Sigh.

I just get the feeling he’s eventually gonna catch on somewhere and do something.

Why can’t we quit Kadarius Toney?

 

[rockaction]

There are some rumblings out of N.O. that Kendre Miller isn't safe. He is always hurt and the staff would rather keep someone with more durability.

zero chance of him getting cut

I wouldn't say zero, but he's good a huge hill to climb with Allen. More likely to be inactive on game days for some time.

Not a hard rumor to piece together when Allen is saying you can't make the club in the tub and Kendre got hurt on day one of conditioning and must have been quite a pull because that was about 4.5 weeks ago.

I think if Allen has his way he'd cut him but would guess he's most likely headed to IR with return designation later.

He's for sure been going down the Kadarius Toney path so far. Allen being so hard on him does make me think he's not putting in the work and it's not just bad luck.

I think meno is exactly right and that’s exactly the way I’ve read this. I have an interest in Miller so have been following reasonably closely. Coaches that get on guys for being hurt usually have issues with the guy and his conditioning, although Allen is sort of a . . . well . . . I’ll let others finish that sentence with his career winning pct.

Why can’t we quit Kadarius Toney?

I can!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Why can’t we quit Kadarius Toney?

I can!

I actually never started on him.

But he’s just sitting there, begging me to claim him.

Amusingly, in my last dynasty start-up I had to choose between Bateman & Toney. @Birdie048 & @Gally both heavily encouraged me to take Toney. I couldn’t pull the trigger. I took Bateman.

Boy I sure showed them!

In theory but he's gotta learn the D

Sterling Shepard and Matt Breida?

Both correct

I don't know how good he is anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if Paris Campbell gets cut from the Eagles.

Correct

I’m a little stunned. Maybe they just didn’t wanna pay him and the Titans do.

Well he didn’t get cut but he’s on the IR, and out for the year.

Yeah, it's weird. Could be a good move for the Titans, though.

 

[Van Dyman]

@Bri
I will start with your very own Titans. Nick Folk can't seem to kick Brayden Narveson to the curb. A few articles I read cast some doubt on his leg strength, even though he is automatic from under 40. Times change, and teams are now wanting their kicker to be able to have 60 yard attempts. Folk has a career long of 56, and that was 14 years ago.

Narveson was cut.

ETA: claimed by Packers

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Yeah, it's weird. Could be a good move for the Titans, though.

Great move by the titans. They got a top 6-7 LB for a 2026 5th.

Of course it could be a rental unless they work out a contract, but it’s an Immediate upgrade to both run & pass defense. 3-down pro bowl LB.

I don’t know what the Rams are thinking here unless they have some sort of financial crunch. Which, given how they’ve played so many games with contracts, wouldn’t surprise me at all.
