2015 NFL Veteran Cuts Thread

[Deus Irae]

It's that time of year again. Veterans are getting cut as teams prepare for the new NFL season. I thought the place could use a clearinghouse thread, because not every cut merits a "sign the beast" thread. So, without further ado, here goes:



Ravens cut Jacoby Jones

The Ravens have parted ways with veteran receiver and return man Jacoby Jones.

The team terminated Jones’ contract Wednesday after his three years in Baltimore.

Giants release Peyton Hillis:

The New York Giants have released running back Peyton Hillis.
The Giants announced the move on Wednesday, a day after releasing veteran defensive lineman Mathias Kiwanuka. The two moves will save the team just under $6 million in salary-cap space.

Jones may be useful as a return man but I'm not sure the offense is going to have any interest in a guy that can only run the 9-route well and tends to round off the rest of his routes. He'll find work somewhere, but not in New England.

Can we hear some notable names that could be cut?

Josh McDaniels' wife is watching the waiver wire anxiously to see what happens with Hillis.

She actually came out on twitter to refute the report that Hillis was cut, saying, "He is most definitely uncut."

Packers cut LB AJ Hawk.

Brandon Marshall might get cut, he would be a perfect WR in our offense

Packers cut LB AJ Hawk.

Would be a classic BB pickup, but not a need area.

No.

GB fans are ecstatic about the release of AJ Hawk, and I can't blame them. Would not want him on this team.

Odd that this post warranted a dislike.

I cant believe this post. As if BM isnt a big enough head case and would command a large pay day but who in the world is he going to replace? Lafell?

Of course, this main issue is, why would you bother with him when we have all of these great players who we need to keep and resign. Revis, DMac, Vareen, Mayo, Wilfork, Ghost, Soldier, just for starters. A ton of money has to go into them and you want to waste extra money on Marshall?

Is he going to take a min/prove it salary?

 

[Ring 6]

Odd that this post merited a dislike.

Perhaps our OC did that.

 

[JackBauer]

Perhaps our OC did that.

Eh. Can't imagine Josh would be losing sleep over the prospect of getting someone of Marshall's caliber.

Certainly never going to happen, though.

 

[skspikex2]

He didn't lose sleep, he just traded Marshall before.

 

[FourierSeries]

The receiving corps is fine as it is. Performed well during the regular season and even better in the postseason. I hope we can restructure Amendola as opposed to cutting him. We don't need another WR.

There are other areas of need.

And he's a favorite of MacDaniels......

 

[A man named Brady]

Marshall would instantly become far and away the best WR on the roster. We're talking about a former all pro

Lions cut RB Reggie Bush, per source.

That is a great fit for cheap $ IMO.
