Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Do any of the cap gurus know how much space we have left in the cap and whether the team could afford any more players? Just curious.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

I think we should give Chad Jackson a tryout. He was a 1st round WR pick a couple years ago for NE and i think he never got a fair shot.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

According to NFL.com, Jackson is still on the Patriots.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Even though I agree with you about Tryon not worth a roster shot, I still see our major depth need at LB.

Theres gotta be anyone better than our backups.
Does anyone know of a solid vet LB available?
I'd also argue DT.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Jackson was cut.

Patriots just signed Deltha O'Neal. Dammit.

Deltha O'neal was signed by the patriots.

Giants sign McDougal and Patriots sign Oneal. We are serious dragging our feet. Iguess we are not making any moves. We should ATLEAST pick up a linebacker. Dammit

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

id like to see us pick up some linebacker depth

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

I say replace Fabini with Forney, this guy is a tough nosed guard the kind Bugel loves and younger.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Is this the same Deltha O'neal that was recently cut from one of the worst defenses in the league? And we're pissed about losing out on him?

Folks, I know Tryon is looking like a reach and a bust - but Deltha is a PROVEN reach and bust. Cry no tears, my bet is he doesn't last the season with the Patriots.

Your dead on spot with this JR! Good Post!

Don't need another used up never was! We already have Tyron and hes just getting started letting us down......lol

I agree there's nothing to cry about or get pissed off over.

I did think that guys like O'Neal and McDougle were worth looking at, but in the end they weren't guys that were going to make or break our chances this year.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Not so disappointed signing one of them as in Tryon. But we must do something at LB..I hope..If anyone is worth it out there. If not then we should stay put..Just because someone is cut doesn't mean they aren't good..might be a numbers game or someone stepped up (we've seen that on our own team)..I just hope that Tryon pans out..from what I see it doesn't look like it.. I hope I am wrong..

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Well I don't think anyone was looking for O'Neal to be our #1 CB, I mean he would have been added just for depth. Basically anyone that gets picked up from cuts is not someone who's going to be the #1 player in another team.

That was my point also. If we did sign a veteran cb to a 2 year contract to take Tryons placein the depth chart or higher..We could have kept Tryon on the PS until he improves. If he doesn't improve we can get a CB next year and still have a year to develop him if he isn't showing potential his rookie year.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

I think that we should pick up abdul Hodge.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;469771]I would love to see us get Dre Moore.[/quote]

Tampa Bay got him on their PS.

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;470273]Tampa Bay got him on their PS.[/quote]
We can sign him to our 53 man roster, at some point.

Skins Not In Foxworth Hunt

Got a bunch of emails on this through the day and evening so figured I'd just put it out there. The Skins are not pursuing Dominique Foxworth, the Denver CB who is a Baltimore native and went to Maryland.

The Broncos are shopping him, and given his roots I got a lot of questions on it, but multiple sources with knowledge of the situation said the Skins are not in the mix for him. If anything, if the Skins were looking to beef up at corner I'd have signed Ricky Manning JR. as a free agent rather than deal more picks

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

Im good with not signing these guys...we have three great cbs..people forget that.
and torrence has proven to be an apt backup. Tryon...needs time, but he will get there. He just needs to figure out how to play those bigger guys while giving up so much size...but there were times on certain plays i saw him cover like glue.
Lb depth is a possiblility...but is there anyone out there that really makes us better?
Not really.The only person i saw that might have been worth shopping was mcdougle. But man we are stacked on dline. There is no sense.
Lets be happy with what we got and if it doesnt work out we can cry "its a rebuilding year"!!!!

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;470266]I think that we should pick up abdul Hodge.[/quote]

Tell us why?
I remember this guy high on the draft board a couple years ago, but I know he's had knee troubles.
He's an inside LB right?

I am hoping the skins pick up some LB depth, but ideally it should be someone that has worked in a Buffalo/Titans/Bears system.
And especially someone who has significant starting experience.

Ideally a #4 LB who is experienced enough to play any position.
I don't think Hodge has any of that experience (no to mention his knees)

I think Foxworth is going to the Falcons

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

He's really named "McLover"? Thats Awesome!

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

We have 2 subpar corners, Torrence And Tryon, I dont want to go into the regular season against 4WR sets and have to depend on theses two losers in the nickle and dime ...

Ricky Manning Jr (Bears) is available & if we want a rookie to develope Zachary Bowman
just got released...6"1 4.35 40yrds......

I was all about drafting Bowman this year. All about it!...but I thought he made the Bears final roster?

Re: Good Pick Ups from Cuts!!
 

if bowman can't beat lloyd in chicago....

ricky manning is WAY better than tryon will ever be. that'd be so easy to do and go 4 deep at cb.

i also imagine lb sinclair will end up displacing gant on the PS in 3 months or so if his back gets fixed...
