Placeholder: Other Team's Cuts

[DangerClose]

A perfect example is Justin Hartwig. He just won a Super Bowl as the Steelers starting center after being cut by the Panthers.

Lawyer Milloy passed on the Lions. Hmmmm.

Look around the league. There are quite a few players that are starters now after being cut from another team. It will be that way until they let teams keep more than 53 players.

He sucked on the Steelers too.

Rams waived a TE that was once tied to the Panthers in trade rumors, Joe Klopfenstein.

Giants let go of an OL named Andrew Carnahan that I was going to research before the whole Richardson bombshell hit. Ditto the Chiefs and DL Alphonso Boone.

He sucked on the Steelers too.

I wouldn't say he sucked. He was pretty decent, but not great.

By the same token, Kemo wasn't what I would consider great either.

alphonso boone from the chiefs was cut. he's old but he has a lot of experience. played for a long time with the bears so he's used to playing DT in a tampa2 type.

he was shifted to DE when they made the move to a 3-4 but he's not that. he's a 4-3 guy.

6'3 305. not huge but he knows what he's doing.

[Mr. Scot]

That's where I remember him from. I knew I'd heard of him somewhere else.

It looks like either NT Anthony Toribio or NT Dean Muhtadi, or both could be out soon in Green Bay. Both are undersized for a gap-stuffing NT, but could fit Meeks' model of pass-rushing DTs. The rookie Muhtadi (6'3 295) is deceptively powerful. He has bowled a few O-linemen over in practice, and in games, though he doesn't get many tackles.

Saw Jeb Putzier got released last night, along with Klopfenstein who someone else mentioned. Both guy always struck me as better receivers than blockers, but I thought they were very good at both. Would love to see one of these guys come in and team up with Barnidge for our 2 TE sets.

In cold-hearted move of the day, Dusty Dvoracek was taken off of the Bears' IR and then cut. I know there was some interest on this board in him, so I wonder if signing him (while injured) this year, maybe for a 2-year deal so we have him already in the fold for next year. I don't know how that would work in terms of the roster spots and IR though.

[Mr. Scot]

Dvoracek was very talented but couldn't stay healthy.

You take a chance on a guy like that on a team that's deep at his position, not one that needs immediate help.

With the stuff coming from Jason LaCanfora, I may regret not taking the time to research Alfonso Boone yesterday when I had the notion :sosp:
