Rookie corner hits the market


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I recall there being some fans of Florida corner Loucheiz Purifoy on here prior to this year's draft.  He wound up going undrafted. 

 

Now he's unemployed.

 

Colts waive cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy

 

When you make a roster move like this on Thanksgiving, cutting a player who was playing well, at a position where the Colts could use help (and Pagano expected Purifoy back on Sunday), it absolutely seems like there's more to this than we currently know.  Perhaps we'll find out later, but either way the Colts have waived Loucheiz Purifoy and signed Jalil Brown.

 

Given that this has all the signs of being a "non-football" cut, odds are he probably won't end up being a viable option.

 

Interesting story, though. At one time he was considered a prospect for a high pick.  A linked story in the article discusses how he wound up falling.

Maybe he was banging a coaches daughter or something. If that's the case... No chance we sign him.

 

Don't know.  Would it make a difference as long as it isn't one of our coaches? :lol:

 

Ya gotta figure there's a reason, though.  Teams don't just let talented guys go for nothing.

You know HoodieLord tried to keep Hernandez on work release while he dealt with his legal trouble

 

Some things even Belichick can't fix :lol:

 

 

Purifoy and Norman sounds like an intriguing, yet combustible combo

 

That's probably a pretty accurate statement.

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
