Roster moves

Dixon has pretty decent size for a DB, and he did flash a few times in preseason. It is hard to comprehend a rookie UDFA rookie from NW Missouri State getting a DB spot over future HOF'er Champ Bailey, but it is what it is.

Champ wouldn't have made it over the course of 19 games this year. At least Dixon is a DB that can develop in Ryan's defense over the course of the next few years. Long term investment versus very short term part-timer with a big veteran salary. Might bring Champ back later, though.

Sam is good enough to be on someone's roster who runs a 4-3 defense. If he doesn't get picked up, although I expect him to be on the Rams PS, it isn't because he can't play the game.

Colston was taken at just about the same place in the draft. How much coverage did he get? And Colston set records.

$$$$

The move makes me scratch my head skill wise and what has been shown in camp/preseason. However, Meachum's veteran minimum cost is way higher.

I love how everybody here is outraged at some of these cuts, as if we actually know better than the coaches and GM.
