NFL (league wide) roster cuts – players of interest

[Deus Irae]

Food for thought, from Phil Savage:

This 90-to-75 group typically has a remote chance of getting another look. Almost all 75-to-53 cuts will get future opportunities in 2013.

Just saw this too. Provided he's not got some sort of major injury, I would think this would be a no-brainer pickup. I know we have a lot of WR, but the lack of experience there is still shocking, so it makes sense.

No brainer in that you have to have no brains in your head to make the move?

Bills have cut DaRick Rogers.

Wow, and I thought he was gonna be a good player. Thank god we signed Thompkins instead of that guy.

I would pass on him, the last thing we need to add to the youngest group of WR’s in the NFL an immature idiot that could befriend them off the field and drag them into his troubled lifestyle, if we had a veteran group it would be a different situation and maybe he’d be worth giving a hard look.

I tend to agree and am certainly not advocating signing him but..... There is a lot of potential there given the right environment. I doubt it will happen, but nor will I be surprised if BB goes there.

Stallworth will turn 33 in November; we had him in camp all last year and he couldn’t show enough to beat out the shell of what was left in Branch, or Edelman who had spent the previous season playing DB, we were so unimpressed with Stallworth in Gaffney we traded for Salas which essentially resulted in us wasting a draft pick. We signed him for one game late in the season; he made one good catch that resulted in a season ending injury. I’d pass on him personally.

I think it is reasonable to say we’re OK with lacking experience otherwise we’d of kept Michael Jenkins who is a better player than Stallworth at this point in their careers.

Barring something shocking, the Patriots WRs seem to be locked in.

Veterans:
Amendola
Edelman

Rookies:
Thompkins
Dobson
Boyce

oK I made a mistake- I thought I remembered us carrying 6 WRs last year, but it looks like we only carried 5. (It looks as if we had 7 in total time-to-time, but of course Edelperson and Stallworth injuries changed all that. I thought we carried Edelperson concurrently with others but I appear to be dead wrong about that.)

Provided we do the same thing this year, I suppose my no-brainer comment was indeed stupid.

 

[fnordcircle]

His ridiculous lack of conditioning is the biggest concern from that article, I'd pass on him just for that!

Keep Washington instead.

I'm more concerned by him trying to pick a fist fight with a reporter, but you know, each is a valid concern.

I think it depends on the reporter. Not necessarily a red flag

I loved Ronnell Lewis coming out of college. Would be a fantastic special teamer.

Reminder: The Jets cut Woodhead in favor of McKnight.

And David Clowney. Not that that's any better.

Yep, even PS candidates generally survive the first cut. IMO the major exception to Savage's rule is when money is a factor -- a vet may no longer be worth his starter-level contract, but could still be valuable as a role player on another team for reasonable $$.

Very surprised at this. They are even more thin at WR than the Pats.

 

[DaBruinz]

Tom Zbikowski - no thanks
Derrick Martin - no thanks
Devin Aromashodu - no thanks
Visanthe Shiancoe - no thanks
Josh Cribbs - knees shot

Why a no on Zbikowski? He's an excellent special teams player. He also has experience with kick returns and punt returns. He is certainly an upgrade over Ebner.

 

[DaBruinz]

A couple notable names cut in the last 24 hours:

Aaron Curry - Draft bust extraordinaire.
Joe "Pukey" McKnight - The guy who was supposed to be better than the two bust RBs the Pats drafted in 2011.

WOW... "Sexy" Rexy was touting McKnight as the reason they had no problem letting Danny Woodhead go.. Hmm.. Guess that was just another BS statement..

 

[DaBruinz]

Bills have cut DaRick Rogers.

Lots of people wanted him in the 1st round as well.. Glad the Pats didn't go there.

So the Jets have no WRs and No TEs to go with No QB.. SWEET..

 

[mgteich]

We seem to be set on our 10-11 DB/STers (the number depending on whether Dowling makes the 53).

Almost all rosters with 10-11 DB/STers do NOT have Ebner making the 53.

Why a no on Zbikowski? He's an excellent special teams player. He also has experience with kick returns and punt returns. He is certainly an upgrade over Ebner.
