Next week 27th - 1st) Roster move

[Family]

I know it's early to think about, and the thread will be buried after game, but...............

they have to add a RB after this week. Jennings is out of options.

So who gets cut or traded?

I say Afernee Jennings for a low draft choice.

And they bring up PS RB Terrell Jennings.

That is a great question. I think it depends on how T Jennings performs this week. While I do think that a player gets traded and I am leaning toward Anfernee or White, hell maybe both.

I am not sure that T Jennings gets the call to the 53

Jennings is the most likely to be cut.

We now have 11 EDGE and LB's.

We have 17 on the front seven. at least 2 more than has usually been the case over the past few years.

Then it has to be someone else coming in at RB.

They can't only roster 2 without the Jennings option? Can they???

Keep Jennings. He has had some good runs last year and this year.

 

[Mack Herron]

Jennings is probably the guy but I would prefer we trade for a more talented RB. RBs are relatively inexpensive (compared to an edge rusher) and Gibson was underrated. We are well stocked with draft picks and we are going to need to draft one if we don't trade for one.

 

[mgteich]

We'll see what Vrabel does to get a 3rd RB on the roster for this week's game.

I think draft is the way to go. Both Stevenson and Gibson are up after 2026, so bringing in a rookie for that season, with Henderson transitioning to a lead-back role, seems like pretty good continuity. And who knows, they'll be able to keep Gibson pretty cheap, maybe he sticks around another couple years.

Think he would get claimed if he got cut? if they think he won't, with a *wink* *wink* *nod* *nod*, they cut him, once he clears waivers, re-sign him... reset the call up meter...

4 RB's seem right to be.

Unfortunately, Vrabel has difficulty committing to having 3 RB's. He would rather have 11 LB's and EDGE rushers.

I think the decision has been made.

Sorry I missed your post. Jennings will be on the roster. (see above).

Who goes?

If another team wanted Jennings, they would have signed him off our Practice Squad. No wink-wink is needed. If we cut him, ANY team can make him an offer and he will be on their 53 for 3 weeks. Of course, we could choose to refuse an offer from another team.

To protect the player, a player can only be elevated for 3 weeks.

This week he will be on our 53 or back to being available as he has been all season.

As has been said one of 11 LB's and EDGE rushers can be cut or traded to free up a roster spot.

terrell jennings is a practice squad player... cut him then re-sign him to the practice squad... call him up as needed... no need to keep him on the 53

He's out of options.

The rubber has met the road.

not if you cut him.

when you re-sign him he has reset his "options" so you can elevate him 3 more times...

the wink wink nod nod is just a reference to " we are going to cut you, then re-sign you" ... changes are no one is going to swoop in and sign him... cut him, then re-sign him to the practice squad... we don't need to touch any of the defensive players... we are down a defensive player after Truman went to Tennessee anyways

 

[Family]

You're right.

What a stupid rule.

So with this rule if that's their plan, then two players (T. Jennings and someone else) are exposed for a day.

Anyway I heard Vrabel speak, and it sounded to me like Jennings was being called up permanently.

there are worse ways to use the roster spot... wouldnt mind tj having a full time roster spot
