So when do they make final cuts today? Surprise cut?

Pick one surprise cut and list them. Lets see who is right. Mine would have been Corral but with how down on him everyone has been I no longer think if he is cut that it will be a surprise. I still think we should hold onto him one more season to see what he can develop into with good coaching. Who knows, maybe he could develop into a tradeable future draft pick for some team looking for unproven yet promising or at least a youthful career backup to be able to relay on should one ever be needed.

YGM would paradoxically be both a surprise cut, and a surprise if he made the roster. 

Thats true. Never gave him a thought but I would be surprised if he was cut this young into his career yet also surprised if he is kept due to the lack of impact he has made. I wish he could put it all together and figure it out. Coming out of college I thought we hit on something good with him.

The guys I have the most sympathy for are the guys who are going to make the initial 53 but then get bounced by subsequent roster additions from the rubbish pile of the newly flooded FA market. What a gut punch that has to be.

And right now we sit at 56. What a crappy day to have to sit and worry. (Really for the next couple days).

Yeah that has to feel awful to get that good feeling of making the team and then all of a sudden get a pink slip right after.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
