Roster Moves

Well, would-be Super Bowl hero Chris Matthews was waved today (signed Kevin Smith from the practice squad). Despite having the 4th most snaps among WRs (232), he only managed 4 catches and he never really provided the advantages that was hoped for. Wish him the best of luck wherever he ends up.

232 snaps... 8 targets. Are you kidding me? Sometimes it blows my mind what Seattle's coaching staff must be thinking. Let's assume half those snaps (that's generous) are runs. So 116 snaps. 8 targets/4 catches. The guy averaged below 5% catches on passing downs? /facepalm. This team.

Shame it didn't work out, he was tremendous in the NFCCCG and SB.

Side note, Christine Micheals cut by Cowboys. Not surprised.

 

[SonnyCID]

Every time I saw him he had dbs smothering him. The guy just had no quickness, at all.

 

[geezer]

It will just suck if he goes to a team who knows how to use him and he excels. Great for him, but sucks for seahawks.

How often does a completely unproductive player get cut, find a team that "knows how to use him", then thrives?

I have no idea, but I wish him lots of success. If he went to a throw happy offense he might find a home.

I doubt it. There's plenty of spots out there for him right now, someone will likely take a chance on him. But from what I saw, he won't make it in the league very long in any offense if he cant seriously increase his ability to get off the line and run routes.

 

[geezer]

We will have to wait and see where he ends up.

 

[SonnyCID]

On a slightly related note, Christine Michael was cut by the Dallas "anyone can run behind that line" Cowboys today.

 

[MKHawk]

Cowboys just signed Robert Turbin to replace Michael.

Ever see what happens to former Mariners when they go to other teams?

Lol. Yes, touche. I was talking about football though.

James Jones? James Harrison? I get your point that it isn't common, but it does happen.
