We all know we have to cut some pretty good players and some bubble players.
Its a fact of life teams have to face year in, year out. Duane Starks: too expensive/ cap hit= see ya.... Tyrone Poole? I dunno if he's here next year. Dan Klecko? Surprised he's lasted this long. Anyone smarter than me care to post a list of possible cuts? I would like to see that. The mystery man coming going into this years camp for me is Claridge. He's on IR but no one has seen hide nor hair of him. Gus Scott? James Sanders? Hank Poteat? I could put a solid quarter of this team on the potential cut/release list..... Thoughts from y'all?

The only cuts that I would make before training Camp would be those who didn't cut it last year AND we can save on the cap.
So going by Miguels list there would be only 3. They are Starks, Poole, and Chad Brown. Everyone else I would take into TC because it makes no sense to cut them now.
I'm going to get some arguement about C. Brown but he showed me less than Biesel. Even when moved outside he didn't show anything.

Thanks for the reply PatsNutMe
I meant after training camp..... when all is said and done. I should have made that clearer..... My error. Now that I think about it its a stoopid question anyway, so many variables. I just can't help myself from wonderin'.......
Still it's a perfectly interesting topic to predict who will be cut next August (if not sooner).
I think Guss Scott gets at least one more year to try to come up with a healthy year. Poole I expect is gone any way you slice it. Starks may get another look, and if he really was injured this past season (as an excuse for why the rough year), he may yet make the team in a big way. My guess is Claridge sticks around another year but plays so little that we still don't know how he's doing a year from now, sort of like Klecko this year. Last summer I predicted Bethel Johnson to be cut and he wasn't, but I still think he should have been, so I'll predict it again this year.
Sanders will stick, I think. Marquise Hill gets another year as a low-paid backup. Beisel stays for 5 more years, I predict. Chad Brown strikes me as gone in a close decision.

I think Fauria is gone, as much as I like him and maybe Bethel too, he has done almost nothing for us lately. It's a shame, with all of his talent, but he is fragile!

At the moment we have two recievers undercontract and three tight ends. I don't think cutting one of each is going to help the situation out.
Amazingly enough, both Fauria and Johnson may survive.

Actually we have 6 WRs (granted only Bethel and Branch are all that's left from the 2005 squad):
Branch
Johnson
Smith
Stone
McGrew
Musinski
-Both Stone and Smith have NFL experience, with Smith mostly at returner. Obviously, they'll have to be great in training camp to get a spot.
Bam is an ERFA and could be the #6 WR/CB/KR.
Cedric James is also an ERFA but most likely won't be re-signed just to be on the NFL-Europe Non-Football Injury Reserve list for a 3rd straight year after being drafted in the 4th round of the 2001 draft by the Vikings.
As far as TE's go, there's still only two. Graham and Watson. Fauria is an UFA.
