Cut Day Thread

[Jarntt]

I will be glad when the season starts to eliminate comments like this.

Will you wear your cheerleader uniform to the games or keep it in the closet?
Try being objective and getting the stick out of your rear

Ridgeway is probably on the Bohanna track. Not good enough this year, but his development is hopeful. Since he was drafted, the team may just not have wanted to risk that some other team that was interested in drafting him would want to grab him for a look.

Yeah, Ridgeway is better than Bohanna was at this point last year. He'll be stashed for the year.

Alarcon is exempt and converts directly to the PS at the cutdown time so no need to cut him. Just one or two more if we claim someone.

According to my count as I just updated my spreadsheet.

There are 55 players on the roster.
2 more to go. Ridgeway should be one of them. Maybe on of the OL, Alarcon or Ball or Waletzko.
Or one of the LB's, Jefferson, Harper, Gifford.
DL, Bashem then bring him back possibly.

I think one should be Wright, but they won't do that.

Oh and Houston, but Dak likes him so there is that.

I'd say Alarcon (PS exemption) and Jefferson if they have not already been cut.

 

[Stash]

Every team has guys like this and their fans all think some other team will grab them. Happens every year.

I am annually guilty of this exact behavior. This year’s rue is Malik Davis.

 

[Cowboyny]

Jackson will also make the practice squad. He was an undrafted free agent.

Davis might be claimed.

I wonder if they’re trying to trade Basham before releasing him?

I disagree. I read everyone on here saying that the last few days and don't get it. Ridgeway did nothing in any of the games. Bohanna of course wasn't great last year either, but Bohanna last year was better than Ridgeway this year. If nothing else it was close. Just my two cents...

 

[baltcowboy]

Davis might be claimed.

I don’t think so. He is a dime a dozen back.

 

[Cowboys22]

Who's the third? I've got Washington and Tyron.

I'm assuming we need at least three for McQuaide, Maher and the backup QB. And possibly three if we carry Goodwin. Might be interesting if we carry any of those players on the practice squad instead, since you can put vets on it AND bring them up for three games. I mean, who's going to poach Cooper Rush?

I suppose the 3rd was referring to Damonte Clark but I would think he is on PUP or already on IR and has no bearing on cutdowns. That means they cut 4 players likely to be brought back and only have 2 spots opening up for IR players. One or two spots will have to be opened tomorrow to bring everyone back. That suggest they are working on a trade. They went long at several positions.

 

[Jarntt]

I wonder if they’re trying to trade Basham before releasing him?

Agree. I'm all for depth and it's one of the spots we have it, but he would be one of the guys I think we could get a late pick back for and probably be fine without.

If was not exempt, he would be gone.

Don't know if he's better, but it's close enough that we can look at Bohanna's improvement and believe it's possible Ridgeway is on the same trajectory. I had not problem with them trying to get him to the IR, but teams do understand that with draft picks there is a good chance that some other team that was interested in drafting them will take a shot if they have a bottom-of-the-roster spot to upgrade.

 

[Cowboyny]

I don’t think so. He is a dime a dozen back.

We shall see, liked him better then Dowdle.

 

[blueblood70]

Dang - they waived McKeon. First (kinda) surprise.

NOt to me

one hes hurt

two Ferugson and Hendershot outplayed him..

 

[baltcowboy]

We shall see, liked him better then Dowdle.

Dowdle is a dime a dozen as well

Yeah, I think they may be trying to see if any interest.

How could I forget? I was neck deep in that pool myself!

Trade him for a OT ?
