Interesting offseason cuts around the league thread

Bills have released CB / KR Terrence McGee.

He's averaging about 7 games played per season in the last three years. Seems very injury prone, and that's depite the fact that he's been lacking talent for awhile.

If it were 2008, 2009, then I'd possibly be interested, but I actually have more hope for Dowling than I would for McGee to come here and contribute.

The Terrance McGee release was due to a failed physical for what it's worth.

Chazz Woodson about to get released...

 

[Pats0204]

WOW, according to his Twitter page Charles Woodson is no longer a Packer.

RT @BobGlauber: Wow, Charles Woodson done in Green Bay? RT @TwentyFourWines: Thank you Green Bay it was a great run! Twitter / TwentyFourWines: Thank you Green Bay it was ... ”

Chazz Woodson about to get released...

He would be an interesting option as a one year safety. I'm not sure he'll be priced in the Patriots' range, though.

WOW, already!!?!?!

Keep a close eye on St. Louis today. There's a report WR Titus Young will be cut and the Rams are declining comment. More to come at PFT.

Cut by the Lions and Rams in one week? Ouch.

He apparently has a much better offer from Ohio State on the table.

[BradyFTW!]

Signing Gamble/Grimes/Talib to go along with Dennard while drafting either one of Vaccarro or Elam (I prefer Elam, obviously) early and either re-signing Arrington or drafting Mathieu late would give us quite a secondary.

That would set us up with the following:

CB1 Gamble/Grimes/Talib
CB2 Dennard
CB3 Arrington/Mathieu
FS McCourty
SS Elam
CB4 Dowling?

I'd actually still worry about the CB depth of that unit. Need at least one more CB, IMO. Anytime you're one injury away from moving Arrington out of the slot, that's a bad thing.

A speculative list of defensive backs that may be cut/cap casualties:

Nnamdi Asomugha
Champ Bailey
Antoine Bethea
Ryan Clark
Chris Gamble
DeAngelo Hall
Roman Harper
Richard Marshall
Dunta Robinson
Assante Samuel
Ike Taylor
Corey Webster
Donte Whitner
Antoine Winfield

Asante signed a 3 year deal last season, and his salary + bonuses for this season will total less than $4 million, so I don't expect him to be cut loose. His teammate, Dunta Robinson, on the other hand.....

I can just imagine titus young getting his release forms, and yelling "I don't need you! I'll start my own football league, with hookers and blackjack!"

The Rams may be close to signing Amendola after all.


Or the maintenance man Young sold weed to last night was actually The Boss.

Jeff Fisher has confirmed this:

Rams coach Jeff Fisher confirmed today that the Rams have waived Young, ten days after they picked him up off waivers from Detroit. Fisher declined to get into specifics, but he said that after spending a few days with Young at the team facilities, the Rams’ coaching staff decided he wasn’t a good fit.

“We felt Titus is better suited for another organization,” Fisher said.

Titus Young is once again available via waivers.

Wonder if he blew it or just wasn't very approachable to the coaching staff.

He'll probably be an UFA now

 

[BritPat]

If Jeff Fisher doesn't want him, there's virtually only one place left.....

Woodson's release is now apparently official:

After Charles Woodson’s agent announced that Woodson would be leaving the Packers, it was just a matter of time until the Packers made it official.

They did just that on Friday afternoon. The team issued a release announcing Woodson’s release on Friday afternoon.

MT ‏@ACwishtv BREAKING: I have been told Dwight Freeney has been informed the #Colts do not intend to re-sign him when free-agency begins


Not sure he fits the Patriots vision/style, but looks like Freeney will be available.

Edit: I know not technically a cut, but there was some thought Colts would keep him.
