Interesting cuts and transactions throughout the league

Ricky Seals-Jones is an ex-WR that has flashed at times early in his career as a receiving TE. His highlight package is pretty impressive with a lot of downfield receptions. He’s only 24 & Klingsbury is reportedly going 4 WR sets and scrapping TE. I’d consider giving him a look.

Damn! Polite got released already? I guess Jets/Florida Gators football is a terrible combination.

WOW. Lots of draft picks ultimately end up unfruitful, but a #68 overall pick not even making the team as a rookie is world-class bust territory!

And it has not escaped the attention of Jets fans that the next player taken at that position was some dude named Winovich.

To be fair, how could the Jets have guessed? I mean, just look at Polite's sterling pre-draft writeups:

His troubling post-season that included bad combine interviews, bad workouts and additional weight around the midsection has substantially clouded his draft standing into the boom-or-bust category.

Jachai Polite made the wrong kind of headlines at the combine. Along with a lackluster workout, he spent part of his press conference calling out NFL teams for grilling him in one-on-one interviews. “They just bashed me the whole time.”

His stock has fallen sharply since the end of the season. Polite attempted to bulk up for his NFL workouts—in Indianapolis he weighed in at 258 pounds—but appeared out of shape. His 4.84 forty was second-slowest among all EDGE players at combine, and his 32-inch vertical was fourth-worst. He pulled out of the rest of the drills with a hamstring injury. Things got worse at Florida’s pro day last week; Polite, who said his hamstring is still bothering him, ran a 5.04 forty.

One scout said his team is currently 50/50 on whether to keep Polite on their board.

I thought about him a couple of weeks ago but read some local reports from Arizona which indicated that he was likely to make their 53. That reporter thought that they would end up keeping three tight ends. he was briefly a fantasy darling a couple of years ago and he’s athletic but I don’t see room for him on the 53. He isn’t an option as a blocking tight end and I doubt that they would choose him over Lacosse. He would be an interesting practice squad addition, however.

I am surprised that the Raiders cut Doss. He is certainly raw but has high upside given his size and athleticism. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is claimed but I would love it if somehow the Pats could get him onto their practice guide.

yup

If a team drafts based on pre-draft write-ups instead of qualified scouts, then the team gets a Polite instead of a Winovich.

That being said, all teams make huge mistakes.

Excellent addition for NO.

Seemed for a bit last year or the year before that Seals-Jones was always catching a TD on NFL Redzone.

Vince Beigel is pissed

psst...you might want to read the write-up excerpts. Polite had bad news written all over him.

@Morgan4HOF _ how can you disagree with a tweet that was posted that had a link to the Steelers cuts?

Well he had 1 last year and 3 the year before. You must have watched red zone only week 11 and 12 of 2017 he had 3 of his 4 in those 2 games.

Every week every year!

He disagreed in a Zuma post that was just showing images from Kraft's Pats BBQ. Clown

Jachai Polite. Lol what a folly of a pick.

Not sure I’ve seen a pick that high get cut so soon since that Vikings player from years ago.
