The worthless waiver wire

[erod]

NFL teams just released about 1,200 players on cut day.

As of yesterday afternoon, only 38 had been claimed.

Barely more than 1 per team. No Dallas players have been scooped up yet.

Teams aren't interested in other teams interchangeable garbage. Some players are probably kept just because other teams might be interested. Little fear of not getting your own guys to the practice squad that you want.

A sign that teams are getting better at cap management too.

Dallas re-signed Charles Tapper to the practice squad.

We over-discuss this stuff.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

It’s not like getting them to the practice squad gets you much anyway. They’re not protected there. If another team wants to give your practice squad guy a spot on their 53, they get dibs.

Yeah it’s all much ado about nothing. As you’d expect it to be. We’re talking about the opportunity to pick through other teams’ leftovers.

Am I the only one who purchased an Adam Redmond jersey??

Don’t worry, it will be obsolete very soon.

Getting Tapper back surprised me. He has talent and he's young. He certainly is better than a lot of bottom of the roster DEs in the league.

Shows you how hard it is to play in this league.

I think teams are happy with there 53. It’s just a plus when all your cuts or waived players become available for PS. I am sure as the season kicks off and progresses we will have a few players sniped.

Some of the guys Dallas waived, who no one claimed, were being discussed as trade bait here the past few weeks.

Surprised Chaz wasn’t snapped up by a team.

Trading them was still the better option.

Live and learn.

I am not.

Despite the numerous people around here who claimed he was good enough several years ago, the player was soft and could not play.

In a league where competent OL are scarce to begin with, him still being unsigned speaks volumes.

Sorry bro. I should have let everyone know my post was my feeble attempt at being sarcastic.

I preferred the older system of cuts where it was continuous vs. this one fell swoop thing. We cut guys I didn't even know were on the team as they couldn't even get time when the scrubbiest of the scrubs were scrubbing.

Our fanbase is so interested in this in part because of our success over the last 15 years with bottom of the roster type guys and late round picks who panned out which is an outlier. Romo, Clayton, Ratliff, Dak, Austin, Heath, etc.

We just need to keep enough duct tape on hand to keep him on the field.

I prefer that too.

Take for example the two players Dallas picked up yesterday, Redmond and Campbell.

In previous years, these two might have gone in the first wave of cuts. Instead of getting a week to try them out in the preseason finale, they tote them into the opener.

Though the Falcons might pick him up as their sack mascot
