Potential Cuts around the NFL

It works that way. 

If you claim them off waivers you have to assume their existing contract. If they clear waivers then any team can sign them and they are a FA.

Definitely not an expert but aren’t vested veterans exempt from waiver system?

I doubt Hartsfield, Saunders or Zylstra are going anywhere.

If these players was released I think the panthers would put them on ps if cleared waivers. Those players was just MO.

• Waived - A non-vested player (less than four years of service) who is terminated goes through waivers. When he is released another team can claim him within a certain period of time. A vested veteran only goes through the waiver system from the trading deadline in midseason through the end of the season. During the offseason and all the way up to the trading deadline, a vested veteran gets released. 
• Released - A vested veteran is free when he is terminated and can sign with any club. Keep in mind, if the termination takes place between the end of the trading deadline and the end of the calendar year, the player goes through waivers. A vested veteran released this time of year is free to sign with any team.

JR Sweezy, a local product (NCSU Wolfpack) who played pretty well most of the time on the Saints OL. He might sneak onto our squad as a vet who knows a little about our offense and a lot about the Saints! (If he is actually cut)

Also I wonder if we bring in a Kicker to compete with Ryan Santoso to try to avoid giving up the conditional pick we traded for him?

I was hoping we would draft Isaiah McDuffie (LB -Boston College) with a late pick.  Sign me up again if he doesn’t make the Packers 53, but I think he may.

I believe this is correct.  When a player is cut teams can go after them, however if we sign them to the practice squad we can protect 4 of them.

Is this correct?

Lions released Breshad Perriman.

^^ What is with the random posts that have nothing to do with threads lately?  Not even trolls, just people posting random things that have nothing to do with the discussion.  @LinvilleGorge @rayzor

It's like 10 year old fans learning how to use an ipad found the huddle.

He was Darnold's #2 receiver last year. Couldn't even make it out of camp with the Lions.

For all you social media-types out there that follow a bunch of the NFL talking heads, has anyone seen any action on cuts yet?

TE - Zach Ertz

Just trade away or drop Ian Thomas.
