Practice squad a possibility.

its really a shame when a fine man like Mr. Colbert has to be cut... a testament to his character to post a message like that...

So is there a perceived benefit by releasing a few players on Monday, are they more likely to fall through the cracks and land on the practice squad?

Speaking of celebs, Bill Murray was released.

What About Bob ?

I don’t think so as they all process on Wednesday at noon.

Not sure that I like this….smells like a Jets or Texans waiver claim to me.

Seriously, all these puns are just Bad.

Dangerous.

I think it gives them more of a chance to land on another roster. Other teams know they’re available and can plan their cuts accordingly, and can start negotiations with them sooner. I recall in past seasons reading that it’s something Bill did to help the players he was releasing have a better chance to catch a meal ticket elsewhere.

He was an up and comer with the 49ers. Hit like a ton of bricks but fell off of a cliff and has been a journeyman since.

Waiting for the surprise release of Cam Newton.

They actually talk to these guys when they’re cutting them. Only so much time in the day I guess.

We've gone full circle now. The Texans traded McKinney for Lawson, paid Lawson $7M, and then traded him for a 6th. The Dolphins will carry $750k in dead money after releasing McKinney, but would get reimbursed for that if he signs with a new team.

He was a really good player in the Hightower mold a few years ago, but injuries seem to have taken their toll.

CAN you imagine the madness that would be unleashed ? I mean, for insane hot takes alone it’d be worth it.

Ship him off to Houston for cooks or a pick. Bill probably respects him to much to do that though

I was Cam's biggest supporter last offseason saying he'd easily win the starting job the first day of practice and got resistance from this board. I've seen enough of him and he hasn't done anything to deserve the starting job. Last night's outing was pretty pathetic.

While there would be shock, I don't think the board would erupt over his release.

I’ve seen teams 3rd and 4th QBs look better.
Go Jones Hoyer and Stidham on IR

Looks like he will play somewhere. Early release guys could be more likely to get through while teams have too many.
