Notable Cuts Around the League

[vince]

The Bucs cut RB Derrick Ward today. I recall wanting him a couple years ago when he was available. Not sure if he has anything in the tank, but he would seem to be an upgrade over Lumpkin/Kuhn.

Wisconsinite Kole Heckendorf was cut by Seattle today.

[red]

we haven't made any cuts yet have we?

seems odd

[vince]

Today by 2:00 Lambeau time is the deadline I think Red.

Shawn Gore, WR from Canada was cut the other day. Four more will be announced in a couple hours.

Wisconsinite Kole Heckendorf was cut by Seattle today.

I seem to recall a news report that he was out of shape and not practicing hard. Coaches were really disappointed in him.

I remember liking the guy who carried the load two years ago when Cadillac went down... Read a story about the difficulty he had in getting to the NFL. Really pulled for the guy, but they seem to have forgot him. Must've been a flash in the pan... since they brought Ward in through free agency to plug the cadillac hole, only to find they didn't have a hole.

ok, thanks

so there's this cut, and then the big one this weekend?

Right. Saturday they'll cut down to 53 from 75. Not sure why they do it that way... Why not just have the one set of cuts...?

No thanks to Derrick Ward.

Bucs Bounce Derrick Ward
The Derrick Ward experiment in Tampa Bay has come to an end.

Derrick Ward's short time as a Buccaneer has come to an end. Sadly, it only cost the Buccaneers $2 million per touchdown.

PewterReport.com is reporting that the six-year veteran—who turned 30-years old on Monday—has been released by the team. Ward played just one season for the Buccaneers after signing a four-year, $17 million free agent contract in 2009.

$6 million of that contract was guaranteed, which means the one rushing touchdown Ward scored in 14 starts last season came at a ridiculous price.

The move doesn’t come as a total shock. Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris recently said that Ward had showed up to camp out of shape.

It showed, too. In three preseason appearances, Ward averaged just 2.5 yards per carry.

With Cadillac Williams as the starter, look for second-year back Kareem Huggins to step into the No. 2 role.

Texans cut Fred Bennett
Bennett is a 6-foot-1, 194-pound defensive back who has started 17 career games, registering 123 tackles, five interceptions, 23 pass deflections and four forced fumbles.

He intercepted three passes as a rookie, but had fallen behind the other cornerbacks on the Texans' depth chart.

"We wanted to give Fred a chance to find another job, so we made the move today," coach Gary Kubiak said. "There's no doubt in my mind and no doubt in Fred's mind that he can play in this league.
Bennett started and had a decent year as a rookie in '07. He ran a 4.47 coming out of college that year. Pretty good production. Good size.

I read that the defensive backs were doing a running drill. Bennett was slower and was in last place, behind everyone else. Then he tripped and fell. So that's how he fell behind the other guys. :D

That's Underwood. Bush is the one with decent coverage, but just a step slow on every pass. Or the one getting penalized.

I think he's usually in the vincinity, but that is as good as it gets and they complete the pass. He makes a better witness than DB.

Look forward to him on Law and Order.

Saturday they'll cut down to 53 from 75. Not sure why they do it that way... Why not just have the one set of cuts...?

I think it makes sense. This gives teams an opportunity to look at players cut from other teams with one preseason game left to evaluate them in their system, giving these early cuts an opportunity to catch on somewhere else and giving teams one additional method of aquiring talent to fill their rosters before the regular season begins.

I don't see it. 99% of the guys worthy of being picked up make it to the final cut with their original team anyway. If that's the idea, it doesn't work.

The cut is from 80 to 75 players, so I don't see it either. Maybe if this cut went from 80 to 60, then it would make sense.

I think it's left over from the NFL-E days when there were roster exemptions for NFL-E players that ended with the first cuts. They would go from ~90 to 70, and then they could focus on the last cuts to get down to 53.

Really cool story. I try not to think much about all the guys around the league who have put everything they've got into a chance to make a team. There's only so many spots and I cant imagine other leagues pay all that well.

Are you serious? Do you really think that TT and his staff don't look at these players? We're talking about the bottom of the roster of teams like the Raiders. I have no doubt that TT knows each player that is released in the league and can quickly determine whether to dismiss or investigate further. People don't get to a GM level without that.

The Browns and Bills are overloaded in the secondary. The Bills are five deep at corner and have Ashton Youboty and Reggie Corner on the bubble. The Browns have upgraded enough at corner that Brandon McDonald is on the bubble. The Broncos traded a 2010 first-round pick for cornerback Alphonso Smith, but the 2009 second-rounder is now on the bubble. The Texans could part ways with high-price cornerback Jacques Reeves.

Oakland's D wasn't half bad last year. Any game they won was because of the D. Is BALT or PITT going to cut any OLBs?

We mentioned three notable cuts earlier. Here's the rest of the list: LB Matt Wilhelm, K Shane Andrus, LB Mike Balogun, G Brian De La Puente, OT Matt Kopa, and DE Derek Walker, QB Jarrett Brown, DT Will Tukuafu, WR Kevin Jurovich, LB Keaton Kristick, S Chris Maragos, and WR Bobby Guillory, C Cody Wallace, DL Khalif Mitchell, TE Tony Curtis, TE Joe Jon Finley, FB Jehuu Caulcrick, and LB Bruce Davis.

We should sign TE Joe Jon Finley. Then, we'd have a JMike Finley and a JJon Finley.

[HarveyWallbangers]

RB, OLB, CB, and perhaps DL. Those are the positions I'm looking at when analyzing other team's cuts. I have Lumpkin/Johnson at RB, Zombo at OLB, Bush at CB making the team right now. I think all of those guys are replaceable, if the right person gets cut from another team.

Perhaps Harrell, Wynn, and/or Wilson at DL and Peprah, Martin, and/or Blackmon at S are replaceable also. Perhaps.

I don't see us picking up a QB, WR, TE, OL, or ILB.

T.J. Houshmanzadeh is getting cut or traded by Seattle. Not exactly what I wanted to see happen.

[RashanGary]

Well, something is going to happen. One way or another we're going to get down to 53. With our roster being so deep at a couple positions and so shallow at a couple other positions, it makes sense that some balancing effect is going to happen before the final 53 is set.

I'll guess 2 moves.

the 3rd string nose tackle at west idaho technical collage of the arts is an upgrade over bush

smith is only 5-9. tiny little guy. however the asking price is a 5th rounder and denver is one of the teams interested in spitz i thnk it was

guy was a second round pick in 2009 and the broncos gave up a first rounder this year to get him

Would tedly take on a 5-9 corner? The last small corner the Pack tried was, who, Ahmad Carroll? Or Terrell Buckley?

I've seen Alphonso Smith play... hes defiantly an upgrade over Jarret Bush... I wouldn't mind bringing this guy in

the 3rd string nose tackle at west idaho technical collage of the arts is an upgrade over bush

smith is only 5-9. tiny little guy. however the asking price is a 5th rounder and denver is one of the teams interested in spitz i thnk it was

guy was a second round pick in 2009 and the broncos gave up a first rounder this year to get himsounds more like bad draft evaluation than a bargain to me.

Cowboys waived CB/KR Bryan McCann.

McCann was impressive on returns during exhibition action. The Cowboys are also high on his ball skills, but they simply ran out of roster space for the undrafted rookie out of SMU.



Colts waived RB/KR Brandon James and WR Sam Giguere.

It looks like Devin Moore has beaten them both out for the kickoff specialist job. James was a star returner at Florida for four seasons, but Moore's numbers were superior in limited exhibition action. Giguere's best bet is to return to Canada to carve out a long career in the CFL.

pro football talk agrees that they haven't signed him


Vikings have not signed Houshmandzadeh
Posted by Mike Florio on September 4, 2010 7:04 PM ET
So as I walked out of 30 Rock after proclaiming to the Notre Dame halftime audience that neither the Bengals nor the Vikings are interested in receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, I started to get e-mails from readers regarding a report from FOX 6 in Wisconsin, which cited a source who said that Houshmandzadeh had joined the Vikings.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it hasn't happened.

The source didn't say that it would never happen, but it hasn't happened yet.

Houshmandzadeh was a hot commodity in March 2009, generating big-money offers from the Vikings, Seahawks, and Bengals. But the football-watching world quickly learned that T.J. loves him some him -- and that he loves to talk about how much he wants the ball.

Not coincidentally, the market for his services has gone dry.

thanks for posting these PB. I still don't see the Packer cuts much less anyone elses. I guess I don't know where to look.

Thanks; I'm sure I could calculate it myself based upon the cuts, but I'm lazy so will wait until someone else does the work. I'm guessing the team website will be updated shortly.

Chase Coffman cut before ever playing a snap for Bengals
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 4, 2010 8:07 PM ET
Taken in the third round of the 2009 draft as the most productive pass-catching tight end in NCAA history, Chase Coffman won't ever play a regular season snap for the Bengals.

The team cut him on Saturday after he struggled with a foot injury, and then blocking as a pro. It's sad to see him dumped, but this can't be a surprise for anyone that watched Hard Knocks last year. Coffman was lucky not to get cut then.

The Bengals also waived/injured fullback Fui Vakapuna and waived Abdul Hodge. (Man, Tebow's power is far-reaching.) We mentioned Matt Jones was waived earlier. Here are the rest of the Bengals cuts:

Kicker Dave Rayner, guard Isaac Sowells, safety Marvin White, defensive tackle Orien Harris, safety Kyries Hebert, tight end Darius Hill, running back James Jones, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, safety Rico Murray, wide receiver Maurice Purify, wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, guard Otis Hudson, tackle Gabriel Manns, safety Jeromy Miles, linebacker Vincent Rey, tackle Chris Rodgers, cornerback Johnny Sears, and fullback Joe Tronzo.

Mike Nugent won the team's kicker battle. Wide receivers Quan Cosby and Jerome Simpson both made the team.

[Old School]

These are the ex Packer cuts I've found.
Abdul Hodge
Shaun Bodiford
Joe Porter
Joey Thomas
Javon Walker
David Martin

Tracy White was traded from the Eagles to the Pats.

[digitaldean]

He may only be a stop-gap (and probably a mediocre one at that), but Dre Bly was cut by the Lions.

Wouldn't he at least be a 1/4 step up from Bush???

[digitaldean]

See that Ruvell Martin got cut by the Seachickens.

Also some of the hyped QB talent from a few yrs ago that haven't stayed on their NFL rosters:
JP Losman (Seattle)
Chris Simms (Titans)
Pat White (Fins)
Colt Brennan (Raiders)

What's the over/under on Tebow's life span in the NFL??

[get louder at lambeau]

Eagles Cut Macho Harris and the Bills cut Joique Bell... I'd put a waiver claim on either (or both) of those guys.

Macho Harris wouldn't be a bad pickup imo.

i traded for him in madden last year and he kicked ass

too bad madden isn't real.

He isn't? Is he just a really fat stupid android?

There is an extremely shaky report from Fox6 in Milwaukuee that T.J. Houshmandzadeh has signed with the Vikings, but it has not been confirmed elsewhere and looks false.

Even FOX6 itself seems unsure of its own report, saying they can not "personally confirm nor deny" their source's claim. Which means they have no idea what they are doing. There may be fire to this smoke and the move could ultimately happen, but wait for a trusted news source to back this up before you believe anything.


The online version of Star Tribune has an article stating that the Vikings have no interest in Housh. It's time stamped from earlier this afternoon, but they haven't taken it down either.

pro football talk agrees that they haven't signed him


Vikings have not signed Houshmandzadeh
Posted by Mike Florio on September 4, 2010 7:04 PM ET
So as I walked out of 30 Rock after proclaiming to the Notre Dame halftime audience that neither the Bengals nor the Vikings are interested in receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, I started to get e-mails from readers regarding a report from FOX 6 in Wisconsin, which cited a source who said that Houshmandzadeh had joined the Vikings.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it hasn't happened.

The source didn't say that it would never happen, but it hasn't happened yet.

Houshmandzadeh was a hot commodity in March 2009, generating big-money offers from the Vikings, Seahawks, and Bengals. But the football-watching world quickly learned that T.J. loves him some him -- and that he loves to talk about how much he wants the ball.

Not coincidentally, the market for his services has gone dry.

oops, didnt realize u cats already discussed this

do u all have lives? lol jus kidding; i realize some ppl live and die with pro sports, fantasy leagues, etc...

Anybody know if Gilbert might be a better fit as a 3-4 DE. He's 6-5 285--which is ideal size for 3-4 DE.


Chicago Bears

The team cut its top two picks from 2009—defensive end Jarron Gilbert(notes) and wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias(notes)—both of whom were third-round picks.

Gilbert had two sacks and a forced fumble in the final two exhibitions but was beaten out by Henry Melton(notes) and rookie Corey Wootton(notes). Coaches regarded Gilbert as a 'tweener"—too big for end in the Bears' system and too tall and light for tackle.

I'm scared shitless about nickel. Sure would be nice to get a veteran corner that had a little left in the tank. Not sure Dre' Bly would fit that description.

Wouldn't that be ideal size for a 4-3 DE?

Gilbert has the perfect 5-tech body, which is why it was weird when the Bears took him. I haven't watched him play much for the Bears (he's mostly played in the preseason, and why would I watch Bears preseason games), but if he's looked even halfway decent in terms of functional strength, motor, and athleticism, I'd probably be willing to cut Wilson for him.

[pbmax]

I'm with Harv. For six weeks, we get to see if Shields, Bush, Lee or Underwood can finally grasp the position while games count.

That didn't work last year. I think at best we might find a CB in these 9 pages that might fit a specific need, ie. can only play inside at the slot. Or something like that.

I remember being excited about this guy leading up to the draft. Isn't he the guy who jumped out of the pool? Anyway, he would seem like a guy to look at. Melton and Wooton where decent prospects so its not like he got beat out by trash. I just don't know if he's got the strength to hold the point at 5 tech.

Seattle just cut RB Julius Jones and DB Jordan Babineaux..Babs would look nice in the nickel package..

[Brando19]

The Jets cut former Packer draft pick WR David Clowney. This guy has matured alot since being cut by the Packers. He is suuuuuper fast. Perhaps this could be our return guy? I hope we give him a look.

[Fritz]

Wonder why they cut Clowney? I thought he was developing into a deep threat for them?

Obviously not. Did he have a problem hanging on to the ball, or running routes, or what?

I don't know, Fritz. I was wondering the same thing. I didn't watch many Jets games last year, but Clowney made the highlights on Sportscenter a good bit with some deep catches. He is a fast son of a gun.

They wanted him more consistent on kick/punt coverage. No mention of returning in the article linked to from PFT.

2009 fifth-rounders get deep-sixed at surprising pace (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/05/2009-fifth-rounders-get-deep-sixed-at-surprising-pace/)
Posted by Mike Florio on September 5, 2010 8:01 PM ET
To help build interest in the late rounds of every draft, the NFL points out that the Patriots found quarterback Tom Brady in round six.

In the future, the league probably shouldn't mention as each selection process approaches the fate of the fifth round of the 2009 draft.

Tipped off by a league source to the high rate of failure from round five a year ago, we pulled up the full list and checked the website of each team. By our count, 18 of the fifth-round selections currently aren't on the 53-man roster or injured reserve list for the teams that picked them.

That leaves only 19 (including five supplemental picks) who are on either the roster or IR.

Gone from the rosters are Falcons defensive back William Middleton (No. 138 overall), Chiefs tackle Cody Brown (No. 139), Cowboys defensive back DeAngelo Smith (No. 143), Bills linebacker Nic Harris (No. 147), Ravens tight end Davon Drew (No. 149), Giants quarterback Rhett Bomar (No. 151), Eagles tight end Cornelius Ingram (No. 153), Bears linebacker Marcus Freeman (No. 154), Buccaneers tackle Xavier Fulton (No. 155), Eagles defensive back Macho Harris (No. 157), Redskins linebacker Cody Glenn (No. 158), Eagles tackle Fenuki Tupou (No. 159), Rams receiver Brooks Foster (No. 160), Packers tackle Jamon Meredith (No. 162), Cardinals guard Herman Johnson (No. 167), Steelers defensive back Joe Burnett (No. 168), Steelers running back Frank Summers (No. 169), and Patriots tackle George Bussey (No. 170).

[pbmax]

Its probably not as unusual as PFT and their source suggest, given that its the fifth round. Meredith, for instance, is still the backup Left Tackle for the Bills. He hasn't exactly fallen out of the league.

[Fritz]

So Meredith is still backing up? Wonder if he's developing into starter material?

[Patler]

So Meredith is still backing up? Wonder if he's developing into starter material?

He is listed as #2 at LT this year, after playing at RT for them last year. What little I have found from the off season, they seem satisfied with him so far.

He was frequently mentioned as one that we let 'get away.' I guess he wasn't all that.

And Ted has not rushed in to claim the guy. Has anyone?

I watched one show of "Hard Knocks" and the coaches were discussing Clowney. One said, "But Clowney can.....(blah, blah)..." The other said, "When has he ACTUALLY DONE it. We keep expecting him to, and he never does."

It sounded like his days were numbered.

[Brandon494]

Id rather have Clowney over Swain, still can't believe we tried to hide him on the PS.
