Trash to Treasure: Other Teams Cuts

[pbmax]

Press Gazette is speculating that given Thompson's past record and a good waiver claim priority (9th position), there will be cut down day trades and waiver pickup again this year.

What is he looking for? Punter perhaps, a defensive back, possibly a TE? A vet QB if Flynn is more doubtful than questionable? A backup tackle or kick/punt returner?

Here is who has been made available so far. Feel free to keep the list up to date. I am only going to track the positions mentioned above. I somehow doubt we are going to sign a WR.

[pbmax]

Eagles: tight end Eugene Bright

Broncos: QB Ingle Martin, cornerback Rashod Moulton, tackle Clint Oldenburg

Cardinals: cornerback Jameel Dowling, cornerback Wilfrey Fontenot, safety Aaron Francisco, quarterback Tyler Palko, tight end Leonard Pope, tackle Oliver Ross

Steelers: cornerback Anthony Madison

Chiefs: cornerback Travis Daniels, cornerback Londen Fryar, tackle Damion McIntosh, tackle Herb Taylor

Patriots: safety Roderick Rogers, quarterback Andrew Walter.

Jets: pair of tight ends, Kevin Brock and Jack Simmons

Titans: return specialist Mark Jones, offensive lineman Jason Murphy

Falcons: safety Eric Brock, cornerback Glenn Sharpe, offensive tackle Adam Speer, cornerback Tony Tiller

[hoosier]

My prediction (I'm going way out on a limb here) is that if TT signs someone off another team's waiver wire, it will be someone nobody here has ever heard of.

[KYPack]

Tomorrow nite at 6 pm, there will be slightly over 700 NFL players out of work.

I noticed that many teams are doing their cuts in "layers". Teams are announcing the release of 5-8 guys right away and waiting until Saturday to release the rest of the cuts. As someone pointed out, teams seem to do this to establish the guys they want to move to the PS.

Does announcing them early give them a day advantage on the waiver process or is this just a signal to player/agent?

Because if they clear waivers before Saturday evening, that would be a huge advantage since few teams would have roster spots to offer them

[pbmax]

Titans (updated): returner Mark Jones, cornerback DeMarcus Faggins, safeties Tuff Harris and Nick Schommer, offensive linemen Ryan Durand, Jason Murphy, Cory Lekkerkerker, and Fernando Velasco, tight end Matthew Mulligan, cornerback Tanard Davis, punter A.J. Trapasso. The Titans indicated they were interesting in bringing Velasco and Morris back to their practice squad

[pbmax]

Packers have told two of their own that they are not coming back. No surprises:
The agent for rookie defensive lineman Dean Muhtadi said his client was told he would be let go tomorrow. His college teammate from Maryland, tackle Dean Randolph, also was told he would be released.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Is Leonard Pope worth a call?

[Lurker64]

Titans have cut AJ Trapasso, might it be time for the annual "early september punter swap"?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Is Leonard Pope worth a call?

No. He is terrible. Trust me as i live in the phx.

He just can't catch the ball, there was a play in camp...pope makes a good move, cuts to the corner of the endzone, ball is up...he has the tremendous height advantage...everything you would expect...boom, drops the ball.

Ty says all this as someone who was a huge pope backer and watched him a ton at GA. Pope is ty's odel thurman.

[Fritz]

First of all, I'm on the Nancy Reagan bandwagon vis a vis swapping punters again at the beginning of a season: just say no.

Kapinos seems to have settled in pretty well, and is anyone out there going to be seasoned enough to simply step in and be consistently above avereage? Maybe Kaps is the guy. Maybe Ted finally found a punter. And Kaps hasn't effed up yet, so let's wait for awhile before switching 'em up again.

I'm guessing that releasing a few guys early is done in the hopes that other teams will make some claims on those guys, thus decreasing the number of open roster spots so when you cut the guys you really like later, there might be a better chance they get through waivers?

However, couldn't teams just sign guys from the first waive, then waive them if someone else comes up later?

[mraynrand]

And Kaps hasn't effed up yet, so let's wait for awhile before switching 'em up again.

Kaps will have to pray their are no gale force wind games in Chicago.

[Tarlam!]

Which punter/kicker deals well with gale force winds anywhere? I only played rugby, but even a lateral pass of about 2 feet is tough in gale force winds.

that was the only name that jumped out at me so far; depends if he's a really good blocker though

[pbmax]

--Everything in this post from PFT--

Dolphins: cornerbacks Will Billingsley and Joey Thomas

The moves probably assure that often disappointing 2006 first-round pick Jason Allen will remain with the team.


Colts: cornerback Nick Graham, cornerback Dante Hughes and offensive lineman Steve Justice

[Bretsky]

been watching Hard Knocks....a really cool documentary about the Bengals training camp and what goes through the head of of the the players.

Chris Pressley, the former Badgers fullback, is vying for the final roster spot as their backup fullback and has been often featured

I really hope he makes the team

[Harlan Huckleby]

They need backups at safety, cornerback and offensive tackle.

[Fritz]

Joey Thomas...still hanging around. Sorta.

[pbmax]

I really think the only O lineman the Packers would grab is someone who could play LT better than Colledge. This may be a generous overestimation of the quality of cutdowns in the NFL, but if you spot a guard when the source lists offensive lineman, just let me know. I know how all of you keep close tabs on interior line play in preseason! :P

[Harlan Huckleby]

I really think the only O lineman the Packers would grab is someone who could play LT better than Colledge.

:lol: Why not a QB better than Rodgers while you're at it?

C'mon, Tony Frigging Moll has a decent shot of making this team. They have NOTHING at backup tackle. I'd give Tauscher a cane and see what he can do.

[pbmax]

Giants: WR David Tyree (The Helmet Catch) was cut

[pbmax]

Lions: kicker Billy Cundiff (Long live Jason Hanson!)

Dolphins (updated): tackle Brandon Frye, cornerbacks Will Billingsley, Joey Thomas, safety Courtney Bryan. And the Fins put Matt Roth on PUP.

Like the late vintage Sherman years taught us, when your first or second most well known (and quoted) player is your kicker, your team stinks out loud.

Either that or bring back stick 'um. Stick'um and tear away jerseys.

Lions: tackle Lydon Murtha

Redskins: Chase Daniel

Buffalo: Dominic Rhodes (not an area of need, but interesting)

Browns: Cornerback Corey Ivy

Falcons: Quarterback D.J. Shockley

Giants (updated): QBs Andre Woodson and Rhett Bomar, tight end Michael Matthews, rookie safety Sha'reff Rashad, two-way lineman Orrin Thompson, safety Vince Anderson, wide receiver Shaun Bodiford, defensive back Travonti Johnson

Patriots: linebacker Paris Lenon

[Fritz]

I have a friend who's a big Chase Daniel fan. Says yeah, he's small, but he can play.

But I don't think Ted likes small QB's.

Joey Harrington?

If a team picks him up, that's like going to someone's yard sale and buying their used underwear.

Thanks for making fun of me. :oops:

I guess I'll go shopping for new this afternoon.

What happened to this guy? He's from Minnesota and he was supposed kick ass. He went out of state (Nebraska maybe?) and never lived up to the pub.

PFT's report was from Scout.com and Caplan had him designated for the Practice Squad if he makes it through waivers.

Bengals placed WR Antonio Chatman (leg) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Chatman has struggled badly with injuries over the last couple seasons. Even if he was healthy his roster spot was in jeopardy.

[Fosco33]

Giants released WR Shaun Bodiford.

Bodiford never came close to making the team. He's reportedly been told he's not in the Giants practice squad plans.

The Booty Era is over in Minnesota (http://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/3785207701). I guess trading them the pick they used to pick Booty will not come back to bite Ted in the ass.

It's not over if the Vikes rent another party boat!

They got rid of the QB they should be developing! Hooray!

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Keeping Rosenfels and Jackson will slow that franchise down, and necessitate both more resources (money) and a high draft choice in the next couple of years.!

[MJZiggy]

Maybe we cut Brohm to get Booty...

[Fosco33]

What's with Deltha O'Neal - is he just getting old or injured? He had some great years with Cincy.

Raiders cut Garcia!

Former Badger, PJ Hill released by Aints. I was never a big fan but heard he had a decent camp.

[oregonpackfan]

Former Badger, PJ Hill released by Aints. I was never a big fan but heard he had a decent camp.

This is a sad story. The guy had a year of college eligibility left and declared early for the NFL draft.

Draft days 1 and 2 came and went without Hill being drafted.

He signs on as a free agent and does not make the final cut. He could have stayed on with the Badgers and enjoyed another year of college ball and possibly earned a degree. Now all that is out the window.

[KYPack]

What's with Deltha O'Neal - is he just getting old or injured? He had some great years with Cincy.

He's a pick 'em corner. Not much range and not that fast, but he can read and make interceptions for ya.

He might get one last go with a team that needs a guy like him.

Good nickel corner fer sure.

[Bretsky]

what about Chris Pressley ? I've enjoyed watching Hark Knocks and the former Badger FB was on the bubble

We really could use a fourth fullback, that's for sure.

While you're at it, pick up a 5th FB and we can make a whole offensive-line out of fullbacks.

Say what? He still can earn a degree.

Ty is willing to bet he is on their practice squad or signed to another team, he had a very good camp.

BTW, where is the OT Oregon thread on LB? :wink:

Chris Pressley was cut; bummer. Not many Badgers from last year in the NFL
