So what you are saying is that is DEFINITELY not the reason.

What about potential trade with Ravens that is being rumored about?

That doesn't help this make sense, though...

I have to say, it's more than intriguing. I love it.
Burgess was there on a couple of plays. It's possible that a move to the 3-4 might be exactly what he needs. Me? I'm as perplexed by this move as anyone else. He was doing really good for us so far this season... especially in the pass rush.

No, if anything it means the 3-4 is probably seen more. TBC was more of a 4-3 DE than a 3-4 OLB this season. And Seau is more of a 3-4 ILB than anything else at this point.

I believe the rumored trade is Galloway for a draft pick. That would put the roster down by 2.

This is probably sad on my part, being so negative and all, but I think the outcome you've just posted is how I feel as well.

I highly doubt we bring in some big name to the team. Don't get me wrong, I would be overjoyed if we did, but I just don't see that happening. Again though, this does make you wonder. The only two consistent threats we have had getting to the QB or providing any rush has been TBC and Wright.

So, why cut the guy when you have people on your team that haven't been doing jack **** to help this club. The two coming to mind are Galloway and Burgess who IMO, has been a completely bust p/u for us.

I could definately see us just using the roster spot for someone we all already know about. Tate perhaps?

No, but losing a 3- sack player for either seems a bizzaro trade-off.

What about Galloway and a pick, for a PLAYER? A GOOD player?

The trade deadline isn't until tomorrow. So, yes, I think it's safe to assume it happened before the deadline.
