Do the numerous RB cuts around the leage increase our chance of sneaking Wegher to PS

[WesleyM]

The title is pretty self explanitory, but what says the Huddle? Do the several higher profile RB cuts around the leage in just the first round of cuts increase our chance to get wegher through waviers and stash him on the PS either for next year possibly or for the inevitable RB injury?

[Future of the Funchise]

No I think it actually increases the chances that we lose him. After cutting dead weight teams will be searching high and low for quality backs that compliment their stables.

[Ivan The Awesome]

It depends sometimes teams just pick up these guys because they are vets. So it could increase the chances of him staying here. With New England and Miami seeing him up close and personal though....I wouldn't doubt if they pick him up .

Do the numerous cuts allow us to upgrade our current RB roster?

[Panthro]

Fred Jackson could be the 2nd best RB on this team...easily

Well yeah, since DWill is gone. 

Payne #1 , Jackson #2.

I think we are overrating him a little bit. Yes, he has great heart and potential. However he has only gone up against guys on  the bottom of the roster. He was never given the chance to go up against the first and second teamers. That might have been part of the plan though. Fly him under the radar and give us a chance to stash him on our  PS. We will see what happens. I just don't see other teams leaping to get him.

[Peppers90 NC]

There will be 10-15 backs released that would be considered better or more talent/potential. I'd give it a 50/50 chance we wouldn't be able to sign him to PS.

[SIGCHI222]

He's gone because of the "Undrafted" media attention he will get.  He will be out of the league by 2017.  Great story but so was Timmy "He who shall not be named".

Why do people think the "Undrafted" show would make other teams more interested in him. Every team has scouts that look at these players. The tv show wouldn't affect a thing. If he gets claimed, he would have even if no media in the country knew who he was. I still doubt he gets claimed. There's a lot of backs like Wegher throughout the league and as FAs. I like him and want him to stick around on the PS, but he's not going to be the Stewart replacement that everyone here thinks he'll become.

A lot of young RBs with great vision, hands, quickness, speed, strength, toughness, and freakish athleticism? Ones that can slice through small holes in a red zone defense with little to no blocking for 10 and 5 yard runs on a regular basis? Ones that can launch themselves from the 5 yard line and into the end zone with consistency? Ones with the high jumping technique/ability to go up and over the defense at the goal line? Ones with the ability to tackle like a true defender on special teams?

Two offenses Wegher will thrive in when the Panthers release him: Patriots and Saints.

[Snake]

Dude has been playing with the scrubs.  He will clear easily.  Toddman may get picked up though. 

[Paa Langfart]

With J Stews health history we damn well better be keeping and extra back or two waiting in the wings -  anyone remember last season and our RB situation ?  I would rather have one more rb than one more scrub wr who cant catch or get open.

True but he has also only had bottom of the roster players blocking and drawing coverage for him.
