Past final roster cuts that you hated

[Pimpdaddy]

...I'm inclined to trust Fit on most things along with Morgan...but I think fhule has his big fat thumb ***** up the pudding still....

[DeSim]

Don’t think I hated it but I remember questioning plenty why we let Stanley McClover go

Who was the OL guy that crushed  it with Philly we let go that went on to be a stud?

Evan Mathis

Hindsight is 20/20, but Butker was a tough one.

Who was actually our third round pick iirc that I loved. Was shaking my head at the time as to why we let him go. To be fair, we drafted him in 2005 and didn't cut him til 2007, he then played for the Dolphins and Bengals before catching on with Philly in 2011, six years after being drafted, so it's likely a case of a guy taking a long time to master his craft. Still, it's a shame we didn't see the potential and stick with him. I guess the counterargument is for every Evan Mathis, there's a hundred guys who never figure it out.

*pointedly does not look at every left tackle we've ever started since Gross not named Michael Oher.*

Does Heinikie count?  Dude was very solid for Washington.  What about Kerry Collins. Dude was sauced with us then goes into being very successful with NY and TN. 

[Carl Spackler]

Jarrett Bush.

Not necessarily a final cut but dumping Steve Beuerlein to go with Jeff Lewis (which then never happened) still pisses me off.

Went to rehab after New Orleans, NFC championship with the Giants then so so at Tennessee. Believe me no great loss when he left here. His head was totally effed up. And it was the best thing for this team to send him packing and have Steve Beurlien signed.

I will always wonder what would have happened had we targeted Steve McNair rather than Collins.

Surprised I've gone this far and not seen the name Lee Ward.  Didn't affect me, but oh boy were some on this forum mad at that cut.

Does letting Josh Norman go after an all pro year count?
