Joseph Addai released

[BadMoFo]

Well, maybe this means Kevin Faulk is coming back or the UDFA is looking really good.

This doesn't surprise me, as the signing never really made sense to me.

 

[BadMoFo]

I'm not surprised he got cut, but I am surprised he got cut before he had a chance (in pads) to compete. Cedric Benson is still out there, if the fourth running back isn't Faulk or Bolden.

Called that last week, as did many people. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pat myself on the back so hard that I break my spine.

 

[TyronePoole]

Hopefully they like what they see from Bolden

 

[Sciz]

I predicted Ridley, Vereen, Woodhead, Larsen, and Fiammetta a long time ago. I'll stick with that. If they can stick Bolden on the practice squad, then they can call him up if Ridley gets hurt.

 

[Banjo]

Maybe one of the tight ends can run the ball. We have enough to spare!

 

[FirstAndGoal]

I wonder if he failed his run test. They're doing them today.

 

[DarrylS]

The youth movement continues..

 

[patsinthesnow]

Boldennnnnn

 

[Dingleberry]

Well, that solves my dilemna of having to cheer for a Colt

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Why even sign him?

They were 1 over the roster limit so someone had to go. Surprised it was Addai, though...guess we know who gets to keep #29.

They were at the limit, now they are at 89. No one had to go.

I'm tired of explaining this and I wish a reputable source would clear it up.

NFL boosts offseason roster limit to 90 players - ESPN

The 90 players will include all active, inactive, practice squad, exempt and reserve list players, plus unsigned draft choices and franchise-tagged free agents.

We have 2 reserves right now (Waters until he reports and Herman) and 88 actives.

Why not? Low risk move at an uncertain position.

Anyway, I certainly hope this doesn't mean Faulk is coming back. I appreciate everything the guy has done for the team but it was time for him to hang it up yesterday.

Yup, no harm in kicking the tires.

And Faulk is done, I hope. Like the guy, but....

Tom Curran, whom I like, was fellating Addai recently. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy...

 

[mayoclinic]

I was never a fan of the Addai signing, so I'm fine with this move. I wouldn't mind the Pats picking up Knowshon Moreno is Denver cuts him (McDaniels drafted him, and he had Vereen's kind of run/pass versatility prior to his injury). And I'd be happy to see Brandon Bolden make the team.

Absolutely agree with Moreno
