:(

Did not see this coming as I expected him to compete in camp. Apparently we have seen enough and freeing up roster room. The good news for him is he has plenty of time to find another team to go through a full off-season with them.

Adios Mr. Holder - another guy I liked better than I liked his on field performance. Good luck to him. No autograph - no handshake, but a wave and smile goodbye.

Good luck to him. I think this shows that there is going to be an overhaul in the Safety depth this offseason. Not sure the Starters change, I actually hope they do not.

4 others off our PS waived. With as many players as wr had to end the season on our roster you knew this was going to happen at least before the draft.

I wonder how much of the moves are Paton’s evaluation and how much is the coaches evaluation.

That actually made me laugh.

I think of all these cuts, Holder will bounce back. The rest I don’t expect much from. Fred Brown was a nice little story but he probably just doesn’t have the physical tools to survive in the NFL. He can definitely play in the NFL but nobody really values him because he is a street free agent who is just like your other average WR.

Darrin Poulo was probably the best of the rest he had length and versatility.

You could be right, I have just never really been that excited about Paulo when watching him... Doesn't mean he is bad. I think we have a large cluster right now with same types of OT on our roster. Guys who can develop into depth but not really starting material. That probably hurt Paulo in the numbers game as we free up some spots. I personally thought Holder was better on special teams then PJ Locke.

It's just a numbers game. Cut these guys, hope you find someone better in the draft or via trade/FA, and if not some if not most will still be there.

We had to cut players. Our roster volume was huge. With 16 man PS’s and IR/opt outs we were at nearly 100 spots.

This does make sense. May have another 10-15 cuts coming in the next month or so.
