OL Nick McDonald, WR Lavelle Hawkins, WR Perez Ashford cut

[DefenseRules]

What are we at, 9 Rutgers players now?

Was Rutgers that good last year?

 

[EJ Blitz]

It's normal to not know who either of those WRs are right?

WR Perez Hilton was one of my binkies

 

[juny]

I guess I missed the part where Rutgers had a NFL level defense last year

 

[Claremonster]

OL McDonald has a brother? (all together now...)

Family farm or something...

 

[Claremonster]

WR Perez Hilton was one of my binkies

Wasn't he cut from the team that signed him because he was hurt?

BB must have thought so...

 

[belichick010405]

well that didnt take as long as I expected.

am I confused or dont we have a long way to go til cut-down day (see notes from Morgan below). So BB must be definitely trying to get McDonald on IR - early while other teams are busy and not thinking about adding anybody elses castoffs.

Thanks Gumby - I was just wondering what were the key cutdown dates after seeing these cuts. Anyone think that the other two open spots on the 90-man roster are going to be filled? This could open the door for a veteran wideout or a veteran defensive tackle to be brought in...

I was figuring one of each:

- DL (done)(to fill Armstead's reps)
- G/C (not much there with Connolly still out)
- WR (with Edelman and Harrison on the sidelines and these two cut at least one more camp body is needed)

Yep - I could see that JMT. I really hope that Armstead is back on the practice field soon and that this infection is really something minor.

There are still some names on there that I would think someone in the NFL would take a look at.

 

[shmessy]

With Nick McDonald gone that ironically opens the door up for his brother Chris to make the club.

It depends.

Did he go to Rutgers?

 

[VrabelJr]

Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are two names I wouldn't mind looking at. Breaston was a great slot receiver in Arizona and then for god knows what reason the Chiefs tried to turn him into an outside receiver and move him around a bunch. He isn't a TD machine but he definitely moves the chains.

It's pretty strange that these two guys are still unsigned. I know Breaston had an injury last year. Maybe he isn't far along enough yet in recovery?

Breaston's done.

They had one of the best defenses in college football last year.

They had one of the best defenses in college football last year.

So did the Notre Dame Fighting Irish until Alabama came along.

Unlike Notre Dame, Rutgers strength of schedule was not that impressive.

Let's do another Deion Branch rental. It's been a while since we signed him.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Hmm, no obvious Rutgers connection; weird:

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss 8m
Per @caplannfl, Oregon WR Lavasier Tuinei signed with the Patriots, according to his agents, Paradigm Sports Management.
