Crazy, I've counted the roster several different times now and keep getting 87.  Schofield is still not showing, so 88 unofficially.  There's more room for FAs.  Again, no rush on the CB.  I'd rather wait to get the right guy at the right price rather arbitrarily fill the roster at this dead point in the League year; just as long as it's done by the opening of camp.

If it comes down to cutting Davis (no cap hit--freeing up $3 million) and getting a quality corner, Davis needs to go.  It's not like he's going to get a ton of reps anyhow.

Mike Davis might just take a $2 million dollar pay cut to stay, he's a good special teams guy. something Rhule said we wanted to improve.

Buccaneers claimed K Elliott Fry off waivers from the Panthers.

People are saying this is the biggest move by the Bucs all offseason. Fry will be competing with Matt Gay, who only made 77% of his field goals last season. Fry, however, hasn't kicked in a regular season game yet and is a total question mark. Whoever wins this job may be fantasy relevant given the offense

I'm assuming since these guys are end-of-roster types, they will not count towards the top 51.  By cutting Frye and Hatfield, we saved about $1.3 million.  I would say those savings went toward the Scofield signing.

Auburn guy insight below:

Davonte Lambert isn't gonna provide any sort of effective pass rush for you, but he's big and strong and can seal an edge if you sub him in on downs where the run is an option.

So basically Wes Horton...

Wes Horton - 6-5 265

Davonte Lambert - 6-2 285

So functionally?  Maybe.

But in real life?  Lambert is probably better at sealing an edge and fighting a block of an OT in the NFL than Horton (but that's just me).

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
