Broderick Bunkley Released

Not good news John Jenkins needs to step up and be the man. We had better hope Kevin Williams has another season in the tank.

IIRC Kevin Williams looked really good in OTA's. I doubt he's got full time potential anymore but could be a fantastic rotational guy getting about 1/3 of the snaps.

That means Jenkins has to become a 2/3 snap guy and stay healthy.

Hicks can slide over but I like him better at DE.

And as Papa VooDoo said, Bunkley might be available later if necessary.

I hope Davison, Virgil or Richardson can surprise some folks.

John, make Meriden Ct proud.

Byrd might just cost Mickey his job after Gallette debacle . If Bryd doesn't live up to his mega deal the FO has laid several big eggs. We are definitely in the market for a DT. Davidson chance of making the squad got easier and Kaleb Euls might find a roster spot now. Wasn't expecting this one

I don't agree. After 2013 having a top O and #4 D we all felt like the Byrd signing with Vaccarro would be what put us over the top to win the SB. It didn't happen, but the move made sense. No one foresaw the team imploding like it did. Hindsight is 20-20.

It may be just a precaution but I really wanted to see Byrd without any issues this season, even in camp, so he could show the fans what he can really do for this team. Hopefully that will still be the case but it is a worry to see his name on the PUP list already! As the saying goes "watch this space"!

I like a healthy Jenkins over Bunkley anyway.

PUP at this point? I wouldn't be too worried. All could come off PUP tomorrow.

Darn it! I always hate when it is injuries that make us cut a guy. I like it much more when a guy plays better and takes the spot instead.

This is a shocker to me. Either the young kids are playing some ball or the 92 yr old Williams came in and blew everyone away. What scares me is all these moves and we still will not have any cap room next year because of dead money. 2017 we will have Cleveland Browns type of cap money.

IF Bunkley was resigned - would the contract need to be renegotiated?

Hmmm....
