[sureletsrace]

Every time someone suggests cutting him I will say this : Stop embarrassing yourself.

I think he's advocating adding him to the roster?

I might be wrong.

2 rookies for MLB this week, one undrafted and the other a mid-round pick. And people are acting like this game will be a cake walk.

[Bullflop]

Lotsa roster churning this year . . . the staff is getting looksees at some of these fellas coming in through the turnstiles, so it may be someone we haven't been seeing in practice that they have. We'll know when we know.

So, who got cut to make way for LB Smith? I haven't seen anything posted yet, unless I missed it.

The only place we're overloaded is at DE, so I'd expect the cut to come from there, unless we replace a linebacker with a linebacker (which I don't think we'll do because of the injuries at the position).

 

[Nirvana]

How good can he play special teams? Maybe cut Cameron Lawrence if he can be plugged in there.

 

[kiheikiwi]

Edwards got cut.

 

[xwalker]

It would not shock me to see them cut Moore.

He was the 2nd best play on defense against the Titans.

 

[xwalker]

Edwards got cut.

Makes sense. He was injured and there's no point keeping a bottom of the roster guy if he's not available to play.

Can't remember, did we trade a late round pick for Edwards ?

If so it was likely conditional
