NFL 2022 Cuts Tracker

[Grogan14]

You know you suck when Jermaine Eluemunsuck beats you out.

Always a good move for the new coach to cut the previous coach's first round draft pick who has underperformed and to replace him with your favorite JAG OL from your previous team (Eluemunsuck). Makes you look good. But seriously the Raiders could really give the Chiefs a run for the division title.

Sign Leatherwood if he clears waivers. Anyone here who is more familiar have faith that he could be salvaged or is he a total scrub?

Should someone tell Rappaport there are only 31 other teams??

Wow. Whatever one may think about the Patriots’ recent drafts…. Damn!

He’s absolutely going to clear waivers, and I’m guessing he’ll choose to sign with a practice squad instead of an active roster so he has the chance to sign elsewhere if a better opportunity comes up. Thanks to his guarantees from the Raiders, he’ll make the same amount of money on the PS as he would on the roster.

He’s not good, but he’ll be one of many not good players to get signed to practice squads tomorrow.

Granted we don't have Scar anymore...but we have had success turning nobodies into good OL.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I’m guessing Belichick views him as the one that got away. Former D2 QB as well.

Back in college I knew plenty of kids in high school from highly structured families with controlling parents who went absolutely hog wild in college once they were "one their own" so to speak, they just went crazy.

I'm quite familiar with the Alabama Football Program and by all accounts Nick Saban is about as no-nonsense as it gets, and the football players have a super-structured, very professional environment, everything is planned. How did some of these players do in different organizations?

1. Alabama Players that went to the Gruden Raiders 2019-2021 (not the world's best organization, to put it mildly), REMARKABLY ALL IN THE FIRST ROUND: Josh Jacobs (not a bust but 5th year option declined); Henry Ruggs (who evidently went more than hog wild, a tragic, tragic case for his victim); and Alex Leatherwood (cut today). Three 1st Round Alabama players, three busts or near busts.
   
   
2. Alabama Players who went to the highly structured and professional (heck, BB and Saban are practically sole-mates) NEP in 2019-2022: Damien Harris; Anfernee Jennings; Christian Barmore; Mac Jones; Mac Wilson (trade); Labryan Ray (UDFA). Jennings and Ray are still somewhat unproven, but are ANY of these players really obvious busts?

Methinks that it is important for these Alabama kids used to the highly structured and professional Alabama football environment to go to another highly structured professional environment similar to the NEP. Or, at least not go to one of the sh** show organizations like the Raiders. It will be interesting to see if Josh can turn it around for the Raiders.

I would absolutely take a gamble on Leatherwood if he clears waivers, at least for the practice squad. He was an excellent college player. But, he isn't the only Alabama player that fell off a cliff with the Gruden Raiders, some kids need the right organization.

If it were any other coach but McD who cut him, I'd be way more open.

True (I agree that McD is a good coach), but it is common for a new coach to come in and make a statement that "there is a new sheriff in town" by cutting a few of the left-overs of the old regime. Maybe there is something not reported like an attitude problem with Leatherwood, but everything I read indicated he simply lost his confidence and that of the coaches.

There are plenty of college kids that have amazing maturity at 23 (Leatherwood's age), but there are some that don't because of a variety of family situations or whatever, and that doesn't necessarily mean that they are bad or hopeless. Being a university professor I see a lot of types of college kids and some of them just need a bit more time to mature.

....Although being "patient" with loss of confidence and so forth doesn't mean that I will put up with any nonsense in my class (students answer their cell phones in class only once).

It’s probably good that the Pats took Stevenson instead of Shelvin (taken two picks later). The Barmore vs Shelvin complaints were even worse.

he was one of my draft binkies. I thought he would be a decent NT for our system, good for 10-20 snaps a game and a toilet clogger which should fit our more lighter faster LB group. I don't really now how he did in cincy
