The "interesting cuts from around the league" thread

[The Gr8est]

I assume Shiancoe is only mildly injured which is why he wasn't PUPed or cut, but anyone think BB should give Chris Cooley a look? He's kind of a knucklehead but he was pretty good at one point and 2 years younger than Shiancoe. Could be decent as a 4th TE which BB seems determined to get his hands on at this point.

I'll bet the Rats are dragging him back to their nest as we speak.

Cooley only played 5 games last year and 7 in 2009. I think his body is starting to break down on him, so I'd stay away. Pats would be fine with Gronk, Hernandez, Fells and Shiancoe if they decide to go with 4 TEs.

Shiancoe wasn't PUPed because he had practiced. Once you practice you aren't eligible for the PUP.

One of the problems with Cooley, as others have pointed out in other threads, is that he can't stay healthy.

The Dolphins cut 3 WRs. 2 of them were rumored starters at various points. One of those was a 2012 pick (Cunningham). Also, a 2011 pick let go (Gates).

McCown was cut by the Bears. For the moment, they're going with just two QBs.

OT: Former Pat Gary Guyton Released from Dolphins

per rotoworld

Dolphins released LB Gary Guyton.
It's a "mild shocker," per beat writer Ben Volin, as the Fins are swallowing a $45,000 signing bonus. Guyton is a backup-caliber talent, but the Dolphins are leaving themselves thin at linebacker. Jason Trusnik, Austin Spitler and rookie Josh Kaddu are the reserves behind starters Kevin Burnett, Karlos Dansby and Koa Misi.

Awfully thin LB corps.

Already in the "Interesting Cuts" thread. Should be moved there.

They already gave up on Edmund Gates I see....i liked him in the 2011 draft, speedy guy.

It's a trade, not a cut, but the Dolphins have traded OL Ryan Cook to the Cowboys for a seventh round pick.

OK. . . the LOLphins are finally starting to learn a lesson from BB.

But can they actually learn to stop wasting high draft picks on QBs?

Geez, the Dolphins are accumulating draft picks. They probably have at least 11 or 12 now.

It's a smart plan. They trade their some of their players for picks, and pick up better ones who other teams release.

Eagles expected to release Joselio Hanson:

In perhaps the first mild surprise of cut-down day for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team is expected to release cornerback Joselio Hanson, per Adam Caplan.

I don't think he's going to unemployed for long.

I was all over him that draft, thinking he would be good.

Dolphins keeping busy:

I'm told #Redskins working on trade sending Armstrong to Miami for RB Steve Slaton
