As interested as I am in learning if we have any waiver requests in, I am interested to know who the team will sacrifice from the current 53-man roster.  We already know we are signing a K.

Everyone wants to mention Michael Jordan, but with 9 OL, you might want to look somewhere else. 

I would go with the following to be cut/sent to PS:

Stephen Sullivan, TE  (With Ian and Tremble with Ricci as 3rd TE/FB, a 4th TE is overkill.)

Nixon or Hoskins, DT.  (I am confident the 380-lb McCall turned enough heads to keep a NT position, so I think they will have to attempt to move a DT to the PS.)

Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, CB.  (Not sure how many you need, and STO3 is good on special teams, but with Hartsfield as a hybrid, that would leave us with 5 CBs.

NOTE: Nearly 10% (5) of the 53-man roster is from Temple.

I think they will IR Sam for a few weeks freeing up the spot for a kicker, then drop PJ and bring him to the practice squad once Sam is healthy.

I do too.  Just think we have to have a claim or two on the waiver wire, and at #6, we could get one. 

I think Sullivan is the first to go if that happens.

I could see Sean Chandler at safety being cut, he's a liability in coverage and is behind Chinn, Woods, Burris, Hartsfield, and also Franklin who has sub package LB'er ability. 

Rolling with just two TE's and an H-Back is not something I see them doing, Sullivan offers more than a depth safety at best in Chandler. 

Just my .02

Not us but do some guys not have to go through the waiver wire? Or do they already know they're not getting claimed?

 

The difference is being waived versus being released. A four year veteran can be released and can be a free agent available to sign anywhere immediately. Newer players must go through the waiver wire.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
