Some big name cuts today/yesterday

[Happy Panther]

J.P. Losman, QB, Seahawks

Could be back to the UFL for the underachieving former first-round pick.

Matt Leinart, QB, Cardinals

What a disaster this whole saga turned out to be. Leinart is officially a first-round BUST. For more, click here.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR, Cardinals

Given that his $7 million salary was already guaranteed, the Seahawks basically said they simply didn't want the veteran wideout around. You have to figure attitude played a part. What else could result in the sudden release of a surefire 70-plus catch weapon?

Pat White, QB, Dolphins

The biggest name to get the ax (or is it axe?...why hasn’t society agreed on one spelling yet? ) thus far. Talk about wasting a second-round pick. White suffered a bad concussion late last season and was rumored to be questioning his football future earlier this summer. He wound up competing in camp, but the Dolphins no longer had a need for him after retaining Chad Pennington and bringing in Tyler Thigpen. Running back Ronnie Brown can continue to be the wild cat ace.

Willie Parker, RB, Redskins

It’s common knowledge that running backs hit a wall around age 30. Parker hit his last year at 29. Parker’s yards per carry had decreased every season in his career until 2009 (when he had very few touches with the Steelers). He was hoping for a resurgence behind Mike Shanahan’s zone-blocking scheme, but with his speed diminished and body dinged up (injuries have hounded Parker the past few years), he couldn’t climb out from the fourth spot on the depth chart.

Shayne Graham, K, Ravens (Hokie)

The longtime Bengal was expected to beat out Billy Cundiff for the Ravens kicking job. Apparently he didn’t. Cundiff has the stronger leg.

[Future of the Funchise]

T.J. Whoszyamama to the Panthers.

Probably not, but you know. Wishful thinking.

Paid the guy 7 million to walk away? There's some serious baggage there. No thanks.
