Not much in potential receiver cuts

[Mr. Scot]

As has been stated before, trading for a receiver in our situation probably isn't a very practical idea.  You're likely looking at trading for a three year contract when what you really want is a one year band-aid since Benjamin will be back next season and Funchess will have a year under his belt. So if anybody new is coming, it'll probably be someone found on the waiver wire after roster cuts.

With that in mind, I took a (very quick and cursory) look at receiver depth charts around the league to see if there was anyone interesting on the bubble.

The answer?  From what I can see, not much.

Names like Greg Salas (who's on his fifth team) and former Panther Tavarres King (who was cut early last year) dot the landscape of 5s, 6s and beyond.  Not exactly exciting prospects.

One name I did find mildly interesting: Tyler Murphy, a former QB from Boston College (started at Florida) who the Steelers are trying at receiver.  He's looked decent in preseason action but might not make the final roster.

To be honest, if you were looking for a savior to come from other team's cuts, you were likely gonna be disappointed anyway.  Barring any surprises, the most you can hope for is depth, and even that prospect doesn't really appear to hold anything all that great.

So basically, if you're waiting for someone to come in and make everybody forget Corey Brown, I wouldn't hold my breath.  Anything can happen, of course, but it looks highly unlikely.

Well we know one thing, were going to be making a move

Feel bad for Cam

[gettlolman]

Brown blows. His performance would get him cut on any other competent franchise with aspirations of winning. With this team, who knows?

I'd rather bring back Keary Colbert, Drew Carter or even Dwayne Jarrett than run this guy out on the field for another play.

DG should be getting the best possible receivers he can get. At this point, it shouldn't matter if the contract is more than 1 year as long as the money is reasonable. Whats wrong with keeping them more than a year anyway? Keeping a really good group of WRs together for more than a season should be a good thing anyway. What are you going to do when 1 of your top guys goes down again anyway? You'll be in the same situation again.

I'll be really interested to see what kind of looks Boykin gets in the last preseason game.

One name i'd like to see is Corey Washington, who might get squeezed out due to being behind ODB, cruz, randle, and James Jones.

  It is possible the Eagles cut Cooper, the Skins cut Garcon (who would not be good with Cam) and the Rams will have to cut a decent WR (or stash one on IR)  Baltimore and KC should send vets packing.  I look for a veteran or 2 to be cut to save $$ if a rookie has shown well.  There have been 2 deep WRs classes in the past 2 drafts, so I expect some surprise cuts in cap-saving moves.

[Moorgan]

Teams have to get from 90 to 75 by Tuesday if I heard right on the radio. So which 15 guys are getting cut on this team? It would seem to me that the best players will get cut at the 53 mark next week and not the 75 cut on Tuesday.

Is marvin mcnutt still looking for a job?

[Paa Langfart]

If we cant pick up a decent wr how about going for a surehanded TE ? - bring back the shockey/olsen game.  If olsen gets hurt this team is truly screwed

David Gettis?

Not so sure we need more TEs.  Dickson I think is solid as a receiver.  He was asked to block alot last year in tolbert's absence and given our dreadful O Line which explains his poor stats.

Simonson has been playing well.

How is Brandon Williams in catching?  I've been viewing him as one likely to get cut since he's been out with an injury all year, but if he can catch, he certainly might make it...

Marcus Lucas is being switched from WR to TE and seems to be playing ok...

[CRA]

I think odds are if you wanted a good WR this year you have to trade for one. 

Which means a draft pick

[TylerDurden]

I don't understand the point of this thread.   I thought our first team offense looked immaculate last night.
