Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread

Not at all surprised on Barnes.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Not Saints related; just find it humorous...

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Given the source is Ian Fullacrap it is possible that Osweiler will be starting for the Browns.

I guess we can also talk about players who are getting cut from other teams if we want the Saints to maybe bring them in. Obviously we're in desperate need for depth at OT.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Here go the camp bodies.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Here's a guy we might want to take a look at as OT depth... Especially given our week one opponent:

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Mauti was cut? So if they're cutting Mauti and Cole, it looks like Anthony might be staying.

McDaniel out.... Maybe Loewen in?

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Don't agree with releasing McDaniel, he was a veteran presence on an area where it's needed.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Whew so far so good LEE is making this!!!

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Tony McDaniel,? hmm problem verifying this

Justin Zimmer, DT hmmm disappointing

Corey Fuller, WR to IR (source) - i was hoping the IR drill was over for him

Damian Swann, CB feel for the man

Erik Harris, S still say SS was a better position for him

Elijah Mitchell, CB
De’Quan Hampton, WR (source)
Bryan Braman, LB
Malik Foreman, CB (source)
Braedon Bowman, TE (source)
Jonathan Walton, LB (source)
Audie Cole, LB (source)
Jerry Ugokwe, OT (source)
Khalif Barnes, OT (source)
Ashaad Mabry, DT (source)
Michael Mauti, LB (source)
Justin Drescher, LS(Injury Settlement) *
Jason Jones, DL

Hate sources :p

Can't believe they cut McDaniel. Must not want to guarantee his salary for the season by being on the roster week one. Dude was playing lights out.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

According to ESPN.com, the Seahawks have landed defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson after pulling off a trade with the Jets on Friday. In return,

Seattle will send wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and a 2018 second-round draft pick to New York. The two teams will also be swapping seventh-round picks in the 2018 draft, according to ESPN.

Ok that is over

Brock Osweiler - 3rd string QB on the Browns Dime? $16 million dead cap hit. hate him or like him you gotta admit he pulled a sweet one in the end. I always liked him as a solid development QB

Others
S Bacarri Rambo
CB Jumal Rolle,
CB Charles Gaines
CB Ron Brooks
OT T.J. Clemmings
DL Devon Still
S Doug Middleton

One to keep an eye on injured solid veteran with starting experience

C/G Craig Urbik - right knee knee scoped and would be a solid pick up when healthy. He was a "likely to miss opener " and may need the full 5 weeks. so week 2 or 3 he should be good to go. Salary: $975,000 USD

He is a C and a swing G that can start at all three positions and hold his own. He has played some RT also. At 31 years young he maybe the player to upgrade the teams depth issues.

Temp solution to a glaring depth issue

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

I'd have been surprised if he made the 53. He likely won't be picked up, so we can easily sign him after week 1. We're deep along the D-line so this really isn't a surprise

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Back in April, the rumors were that the Jets were asking for a high 3rd for Richardson. They've gotta be happy with the trade.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Shame about Mauti, he was really developing into one hell of a player. Sucks. Always liked him. Can't say I am surprised by anyone so far, except maybe McDaniel. Thought he was solid

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

It's about as deep as the kiddy pool...

We have 3 DTS now: Rankins, Onyamata and Davison. Unless I'm forgetting someone we don't have much depth at all...

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

True. Nothing behind Davison whatsoever.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

Yeah but several of the DE's are experienced with and have the ability to move inside. Also, 2 of those DT's are capable of kicking out to the edge. It appears to me that the defense has been deliberately built to be versatile at all 3 levels. I think traditional roles aren't going to matter much, it will truly be putting your best players on the field together.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

I really though Mcdaniel made some plays, maybe they have a plan?

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

I figured the plan was to step lightly on his pinky toe, stick him on IR, and pay him a lil so he won't go anywhere else. Guess they did that with Fuller instead.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread
 

I truly believe McDaniel will be back, they just didn't want to guarantee his contract. If he made the 53 his contract would've been guaranteed for a dt that would've been fourth in the depth.
