Roster moves

I would expect Meachem was cut because Joe Morgan fills the same role in the offense. He's younger, faster, cheaper than Meachem.

I think we might end up seeing Lorig put on IR/PUP to make room for whatever kicker they sign Monday.

YUP. Plus Morgan can actually make the short to medium range catches to boot. Still surprised they cut Meach, but onward and upward.

I like Dixon making the team. But cutting Warren to keep Ball that stings, Warren has outplayed him hands down. I really hope he clears waivers but I doubt it.

The only thing I can think of is that Ball has shown more with his days in the CFL... He's been fighting injury this whole off-season...

I want Alex Henery. I really can't understand how he got released.

Disappointing finish of 2013 and poor preseason. Rookie kicker outperformed him.

Maybe our punter can handle both duties...

BOOM...nailed it. Saves a roster spot as Morstead is a freakin' beast. I'd trust him over Graham.

However, reality bites. We need a kicker. Wow...sounds like a broken record.
