dont forget these players are still vying for spots on the practice squad. The cuts wont just be for the 53, but the 15 practice spots as well. So if you have fringe players... every practice counts.

Yeah, but the practical side of me says with gas prices, driving into work only to get fired is insult to injury.  Most of these guys cut will be working normal jobs here shortly.  Tell me on the out the door when I'm going home anyway.

To be fair though, a higher number of them than in past years will stick around for practice squad jobs.

Just guessing here.... but these guys have worked their whole lives for a shot at playing in the NFL, I doubt they give two shits about paying for gas to get to practice if it gives them even a 1% chance of impressing the coaches on that last day to earn a spot on either the full roster or even just the practice squad.

Hell, even if you told them they would be cut the following day, I'm guessing they'd still be willing to pay that gas money (and their time) to show up to a final practice to hopefully look good so the coaches might think of you if they need to sign someone later.

That's the reason it is STUPID to do all you cuts at once.  I get holding judgement on the last few bubble players and maybe that last practice can be the difference maker.  But dudes that have no chance in hell of making the roster, just tell them today and save them from having to come back only to be told they are fired as soon as they walk in the door.  Yes, cuts day of, players are generally told as soon as they arrive.

      Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

      Also, you don't really get good value by drafting a center in the first.

      First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table. Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.

      Hubert has plenty of money. I don't hate the guy. I think he a legit good guy. This is Ron Rivera all over again for me. It's just very obvious a coaching change is needed and it audka we gottaboart ways with a good guy and I'd much rather it work out but the same issues appearing again and again year after year are clearly shouting what needs to happen. With that said, if we hire Todd Golden, that's it. I'm out. I'd greatly prefer to just keep getting disappointed by Hubert. I can at least stand to root for that.
