If he is signed, do we have to cut someone or does he automatically go on the suspended list and not the active roster? We need to keep Remi until Tank can play and theres noone else I'd be okay with cutting. I'm hoping that we can just cut Remi and put him on the practice squad after activating Tank in week 9.

I think we'd just have to release someone for a day and then could resign them. Not entirely sure though.

I thought they could sign him since he's on the suspended list and doesn't take a roster spot. But once he's off the suspended list, they have to cut somebody.

We have to cut someone then sign Tank and put him on the suspended list then we can pick the cut player back up or sign someone else.

Wow, I am surprised you didn't say that Stanback would be cut.

Someone may have to go.

Probably Remi...he's been cut before.

Hypothetically, if Remi is cut and another team snags him, who do we have to backup at DT while Tank is still suspended?

Doube we take the chance to cut Remi. He'd have to go thru waivers and somebody else might grab him. That would leave us with no backup for Ratliff for the next 6 weeks. We also can't cut a player with long-term contract cause costs would all come due this year. So it's probably a player signed to only a one year contract who might not have to go thru the waiver.

Why would we have to cut someone......he is suspended and can't be counted on the 53 man roster. When he is re-instated, then we have to cut someone.

He would have to agree to a contract with another team. Given that he's actually getting playing time here and is familiar with the defense, I doubt he'd actually sign with another team.

Remi would be subject to waivers, so any other team could claim him.

They could put in a claim, but would he be forced to sign a contract?

My understanding is that most players sign the contract because they'd rather be on the 53 man roster of another team than on the PS of the team that just cut them. But if Remi he knew he'd be on our 53 man roster immediately he wouldn't necessarily sign the other contract.

Regardless, if we wouldn't have to cut him, it's a meaningless conversation anyway.

The best blocker on the team?

If he's such a good blocker, put him on the O line.:D

Whattareyou, his mama?
The guy plays sparingly in two games and all of the sudden you make him out to be . . . Mr. All Pro McBlocker?

Give me a break.
