Who would you cut to make room for the FA's and Rookies.

If we sign 5 Fa's and Sign 6 drafted rookies, that means we need to cut 11 previous players.

Who do you cut?

I'll start by cutting Larry Allen...10 more cuts to go.

It's too early to speculate. Before the regular season begins, some players will get pushed onto the practice squad or placed on the IR, etc. Before that, any significant cuts will be generated by each player's negative impact on the team's salary cap--like Allen's.

There is a loooong way to go before we have to worry about cutting anyone.


Right now rosters can hold up to 84 men. Training camp is months away. Cuts are weeks after that...not somthing to worry about right now there are more important things on the table.

we have lots of ways to make room for new players.

Campbell and fujita are gone or so it seems.
Quentin caver has no future here.
Willie pile will probably not have a spot when Captain Crunch Berry-o gets back.

suisham will just get released if we find another kicker.

Larry allen if the reporters are right may be a casualty or he may play right tackle who knows?

Eric Ogbogu will serve no purpose here if we draft a mark anderson or wimberly or lawson etc.

Tony Dixon.

There are lots of ways to make roster spots because of the bottom feeders here.

Michael barrow's spot is available. I dont think we need to cut anyone to make room I just think we will be heavy at offensive tackle and linebacker in training camp and someone will have to go at each position.

Good examples you mentioned and also don't forget these players get hurt and get put on injured reserve.

Besides we've already let Glover & Campbell go, Dat has retired & Fujita is looking around. So there is 4 right away. Others on the bubble--Tucker, Pile, Shanle, etc. So there's 7 players leaving which matches 7 incoming rookie class. Worry about any FAs we sign, if we get more then the 1 we just signed.

Well, I'm just trying to pass the time...I'm going nuts waiting for our next signing.

Since Theebs mentioned Beriault coming back, let's add back all the regulars that should come back from IR:

Beriault
Ratliff
Adams
Burnett
Pierce
K. Thornton
Singleton (Maybe)

BTW...Barrow ended the year on IR, he wasn't on the active roster.

If someone like Witherspoon is supposedly getting a 13M signing bonus, Im starting to think Alshermond isn't going anywhere.

good list,
add Glover as already gone
Kenyon Coleman might be out
Dat retired

other guys that could get cut depending on what we end up with in the offseason:
Al Singleton
Keyshawn Johnson

My list of "bottom feeders", in no particular order: Taken from the DC.com depth chart.

T. Copper-WR
Marcus Price-OT
Cory Procter-RG
Dan Campbell-TE
Larry Allen-LG
Junior Glymph-DE
Kenyon Coleman-DE
Scott Fujita-LB
Quintin Caver-LB
Tony Dixon-S
Lynn Scott-S
Eric Ogbogu-LB
Shaun Shuisham-K

That's 13 players right there, but we will most likely add 7 players from IR and 11 players from draft and FA.

So 5 more that aren't on this list have to go.

Well, since Glover is gone, that only leaves 4.

Who's it gonna be: Shanle, Fowler, K. Davis, W. Pile?
