Cuts, who don't you want to lose

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure Cash & Byrd are safe for the 1st cuts, and in fact I think both have a very solid chance of making the 53. 

Wegher would be a shame to cut, but I see no way we're keeping him with Tolbert looking great and CAP looking solid, and Fozzy being Fozzy - some good, some bad, but generally consistent & a known quantity.  I think Wegher will get put on the PS, and think that's why we're not playing him much.  Don't want him to flash and give teams a chance to remember him and thus poach him from the PS.

Here's my guess at 1st cuts:.. though some of this may depend on injuries and new signings. Obviously we still need enough young guys to play game 4 of the preseason to keep our starters fresh & healthy

C Matt Masifilio

CB Teddy Williams

DT Ray Drew

DE Tom Lally

G  Tyler Larson?

LB Jared Barber, Jared Norris

RB Jalen (Scoot) Simmons

S, Travelle Dixon,  Trenton Robinson (to IR)

T David Foucault

TE Eric Wallace

WR LaRon Byrd, Stephen Hill

P Mike Scifres

Looking at our current roster, knowing we have to drop to 75, currently at 91 so 16 players, here's my prediction...

 

Jalen Simmons, RB

Avius Capers, WR

Stephen Hill, WR

Eric Wallace, TE

Matthew Masifilo, C

David Foucault, OT

Tom Lally, DE

Ray Drew, DT

Larry Webster, DE

Jared Barber, LB

Jared Norris, LB

Travell Dixon, S

Mike Scrifres, P

Reese Dismukes, C

Jordan Rigsbee, OT

Leonard Johnson, CB

 

Trenton Robinson  and Chas Alecxih to IR and maybe even Rakim Cox

 

Do players who go to IR count as cuts?  I wasn't sure.

I'd forgotten that some of these guys were even on the team.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
