We are going to be cutting some good players

[Sparky]

We are stacked at RB, DE, WR and DB. It seems like a lot of good players going to be released.

 

[Sparky]

Sproles? Curry? Hollins? Have we addressed Jenkins contract?

 

[old duke]

All 3 of those guys will be here unless there is a trade. By the end of preseason,things will sort itself out.

We may cut a good Offensive lineman or two if you think Vaitai or Wiz is any good.

And it looks like Michel and/or Ward at WR could get cut, both of whom look like good players.

Rodgers could be gone at TE.

And it doesn't look like both Scandrick and Cyprien could make this team.

TJ Edwards will likely be cut and then brought right back after they IR Leblanc.

 

[Sparky]

I think cyprien would be a tough decision. I'm going to make a 53 man roster layout, it will be hard to keep some big names.

The nuance of the PUP and IR rules as well as the practice squad makes it possible for a team to effectively keep more than 53. Jalen Mills seems headed to the PUP which gives him a free pass for 6 weeks.

With IR, my understanding is that they have to be on the initial 53, but then can immediately be put on IR, but then not brought back for 8 weeks. You can do this for 2 players. This would seem like a good vehicle for LeBlanc and maybe Kamu, McLeod, Darby and Rodgers depending on how much time they need.

So to maximize the roster, they may keep Leblanc and say Kamu on the 53. Move them to IR and then bring back Scandrick and Edwards? Then by the time the eight weeks go by there most assuredly will be additional injuries, so other players will go on IR in their stead.

I expect players like Edwards, Ward, Michel, Scandrick, Perkins, Cyprien and Rodgers seem to be in the situation where they may bounce on and off the roster.

Well worrilow is gone and I guess countless went away last week. Maybe we risk michel and Miller on PS? RB and QB are most crowded. Pump is gone, can adams go ps? Scott? Edwards looked good. We only keep 2 qb and float the 3rd? Thorson ps?

 

[Sparky]

I hope Darby and McLeod not out 8 weeks!

 

[Sparky]

Scott seemed lost on punts but ran well, pump had a nice run too

Go for it Sparky!

I think the RB situation is pretty clear. Sanders, Howard, Sproles and Clement. The rest will be cut and perhaps be on the practice squad.

My understanding on PS is that they loosened up the rules so that as many as 4 PS players can have as much as 2 accrued seasons on an active roster. So guys like Cyprien and Scandrick can't, but others like Adams, Scott, Michel, Ward, etc can.

 

[BigKen]

The Patriots are looking for a backup OT and a TE so if yours are that good, please cut them early.

How about Vaitai and Marken Michel for a 3rd Rounder?

 

[Sparky]

I think Adams and michel get taken from our ps

 

[Rey]

I would keep Michel as our #5 over Hollins. Hollins just simply can't even stay healthy ... if it's not one injury it's another. It was the same thing in college.

 

[old duke]

I'd try to keep Hollins on IR (minor injury), as I think Michel needs a full season, plus Ward looks too good to cut.

 

[Premium]

I think they keep both Hollins & Michel. Michel is perhaps more important than Hollins as he is the field stretcher ala DJAX. JJAW or Dallas can do what Hollins does. I like Ward, but I suspect he will bounce back and forth to the practice squad and may catch the eye of another team in the process.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

Agree....I would stash Hollins on PS one more year and see. No one will grab him off the PS with the questions....and if they do, meh. I would like to protect Michel and Ward at this point.

 

[Iggloo]

I think guys like Corey Clement, Stefan Wisniewski, Nate Gerry and Mack Hollins are all in danger of getting cut based on what I am reading.

Wiz has been horrible at Center ... if he can't help out at that spot he's likely a goner.
