Other teams' cuts

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I'm curious. Who are some o-lineman you guys are looking at that might get cut and could help this team?

I think this is a fairly rational question and based on the excitement on this board, probably deserves its own thread.

The answer of this question lies with Gettleman. I think there are going to be a handful of guys that are released because their contracts are bigger than their play and their play is comparable to someone else on the team.

We have to look at those guys and ask if they are upgrades over what we have. I think that is what you look.

dont be surprised if carolina doesnt pick anyone up, keep in mind if they sign OL, they have to cut someone else.

We don't have enough NFL olinemen. Cutting someone will NOT be a problem

At least not the first round of cuts.  Veteran quality won't be there much but may be in the 2nd round it will.

Simple solution. Cut our other scrub linemen.

Good! I hope we sign one soon then. It's not like anyone other than Gross and Kalil is worth keeping anyway.

The "Huddle": Worrying about losing our scrubs.

Front page updated with cuts. It looks like some offensive linemen from the Lions were released. I know people on here were saying check them out, because they seem to have really good O-line depth.

 

The only name that stood out to me is Chris Hope. Chris is from Rock Hill, operates a charity there, and was once a very, very good safety. I believe that we could sign him and he would immediately be better than Mitchell/Campbell/Lester, whoever else.

Updated again. Shiancoe AND Streeter released from the Ravens. I think Shiancoe honestly could be a really nice fit into our offense. A nice pass-catching TE, even though he's not a great blocker. Practice squad Brandon Williams, and get Shiancoe in here to fill that #3 TE/#2 pass catching TE role.

Exactly what forum can I put personal attacks in?

it's been said before man. but the Patriots will snag Brandon williams up so fast when he hits the wire. They were the other team looking to sign him.

 

We can't risk it.

It's possible, but, it depends on if you want to win now or not. Brandon Williams is not going to allow you to win right now. The guy can't block, he has only caught 1 pass, making him a liability at this point. If the Patriots want to stash him away, that's fine, but they have other players who can contribute immediately, we do not.

Shanicoe is no upgrade over BWill. He even improved his blocking Thursday, and got a illegal contact called on a safety up the seam. I am however intrigued by streeter who is a 6'5 vertical speed guy.

We actually have better wr's/te's then they do in my opinion. They'd probably have Williams on the field the first few weeks and I bet he would be successful.
