RELEASED Martavis Bryant and three others released from PS

[Risen Star]

I guess he's washed.

I told someone yesterday he would be cut possibly dang!!!

What was the need to get another wr in here with Bryant already here

Sad Billy-Johnson didn’t get any game time!

Billy-Johnson looked ok in preseason. The other WR never saw the field. Looks like we got a RB..

 

[Typhus]

Guess Bryant was just brought in for practice.

All these cuts seem to make sense. I kinda liked the speed of WR Johnson, and I think he's much better than McMath but who cares, just glad JMC is still on PS.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Racey. McMath.

 

[AKATheRake]

We got a good stall of 6 WR's ight now.

I like that RB as RB3 right now, but I think he's a 2024 pickup.

[Coogiguy03]

Based on the tweet, it seems like he was released due to taking up a veteran slot which are limited.

My guess is the team likely had no plans to play Bryant this season and were simply evaulating him while a veteran slot was available so they could consider re-signing him in the off-season.

Would you want to come back???

You're so bright

Nate Newton and Jesse Holley really trashing the ‘depth signings’ on their podcast. As Nate puts it, just another way of saying you can’t say anything positive about the guy. They seem to like the Damien Wilson signing, but think LC is a lost cause that fans are overrating and will only touch the field in worse case scenario. Nate said he had no hips left, and one knee already gone when he left the team and the only good thing about the signing was we can get back some of that dead money were still paying to him. (Joking.). Both said this franchise loves to hold on to guys forever and not release rookies so when you release LC with $10 million in dead cap, you know he’s done, and just perpetuates more of the bad habits this FO has on keeping guys too long. Said if you know you have a depth problem already, and you believe LC is capable of playing again, why are you waiting until the very end of the season, why didn’t you move on this earlier in the year or someone else on the trade deadline? I agree.

An out-of-work NFL receiver? Absolutely.

My guess is they were upfront with him when he signed that he was unlikely to be promoted to the active roster this season outside of multiple injuries to active receivers, but they would consider bringing him back next season if things went well.

Any decent sports agent would ask those questions for their client before he signs with them.

They apparently decided Bryant wasn't going to be what they hoped he would be
