Re: Final 53
I think having a veteran backup QB is important in the NFL, God forbid something were to happen to Brees I'd feel a lot better with Martin out there than a rookie QB going into the playoffs.
I will say though that this will be Martin's last season with us. |

Re: Final 53
Stecker = Trade bait?
the only thing he has going for him is Blitz pick up. Pierre Thomas seems to have him beat everwhere else. Hands, quicker and faster. Steckers a FA next year so a young replacement would not be bad right now. I would love to find a spot for Kevin Dudle. He need special team play to stand a chance. |

Re: Final 53
From what I've seen (2 PS Games), Pierre Thomas looks really good. Hopefully the team can get some value for Stecker in the trade market, 'cause I'd like to see Pierre make the final 53.
I think Fife is the #3 QB and Palko is relegated to the practice squad. He was a UDFA and has a HUGE learing curve in front of him. I really hope he sticks around, but don't think he's ready to play. The rest of the poster's roster looks good. I think David Jones is a practice squad guy for now. What ever happened to Rhema McKinght? |

Re: Final 53
Pittman won't clear waivers if we let him go to try and put him on the practice squad. I think he definitely sticks.
The only player I am really upset hasn't shown better is Alfred Fincher. I think his days are over here and I always hoped he'd make some noise at MLB, but I think Evans takes his spot. |

Re: Final 53
We're pretty far down the waiver wire list - that means every time ahead of us in the wavier order gets a look at a Palko, Pittman, David Jones, Pierre Thomas, Tramain Hall, and Kevin Dudley (still eligible?) before they clear waviers before we can claim them for our practice squad. I see every one of these guys making the practice squad for the lower 28 teams (remember Mike Haas?)

Re: Final 53
You don't usually see teams giving up draft picks at the end of PS, because they know teams have to cut the guy anyway. The Browns could end up cutting Anderson or Frye for this reason
I really don't see much value for Stecker anyway, and doubt anyone would give a 6th or 7th for him As for the final 53, I think we carry another FB before Stecker Also, is Goodwin a lock? He has looked lost out there- has Alleman played any at center? Bellamy and Craft also might be cut for younger, quicker, cheaper options |
