Early Cut List

Everybody keeps worry about the cap hit for dead money. I got news here that in 2 - 3 years expect alot of dead money. In some cases it might be better to let a vetran go who will cost us cap space in the next 2 years to get ready for the annual Snyder Spring fest of signing big contracts. Expect some big names to go this year. Some possibles could be Morton, Jacobs, Bowen, and Walt Harris. I think Lavar is safe.

When I look at it this looks good. Coles, Gardner, Thrash, McCants,Scott, Jacobs.

Someone said Scott Cloman would be a good pick-up for some one.

Maybe the Scottish Claymores...

Or try the CFL, I heard that's where he could be headed

thats down to 73 at worst case, then you can cut 2-3 more LBs (we have 11, probably will keep 6-7 at most), 1-2 O-linemen (though they might keep EVERYONE seeing how things have gone), kimrin, stempke, hamdan, mcollough, 2 TEs, and THEN it gets hard... (hamdan and the kickers can all PS i believe though)

that gets you to roughly 61-64 players...

SUNRA · 08-29-2004, 08:47 PM

Why hasn't Hamdan gotten any snaps? What's up with that? We send him to Europe and he doesn't play well to make a preseason? Oh well.

That Guy · 08-29-2004, 08:47 PM

oops, miscounted, its 92 on the roster, -1 for iffy, -1 for jansen = 90... so 70 at worst case above, and it gets you roughly to 58-61 players...

That Guy · 08-29-2004, 09:05 PM

they got 7 TEs right now (including mike sellers, who's listed as a FB)... guess 2-3 end up off the roster... leonard stephens, and probably 2 between robert royal, fred baxter, and mike sellers (judging from what i've seen only)...

That Guy · 08-29-2004, 09:12 PM

no way they let morton or jacobs go, those guys aren't that expensive to begin with...

cut: Kevin Mitchell and wide receiver Cliff Russell

I see Morton getting traded along with Bowen. Morton hasn't done well to get us good yardage on returns at all.

Check the Sary cap information, Morton is quite expensive for what he gives. HE did score a touchdown last year but the previous year Metcalf scored a TD and he was cheap. Clear cap space now with players who haven't shown anything this year. I do not see him in practice so it would be unfair to judge him. But what I have seen in preseason, cut him.

That Guy · 08-29-2004, 09:17 PM

dang, i missed micheal hall... make that 57-60 total then

that'd be for final roster, PS would be composed of 8 guys that'd be cut from the final headcount.

3 D-line (of 15)
2 LB (of 11)
2 CB (of 9)
3 WR (of 13)

As if there isn't enough competion at H-Back, they were running Trash out of the backfield a lot in the first quarter. I don't think Gibbs isn't happy with the H-Backs (Cooley,Kozlowski...) but I do think that he wanted to work on something without totally tipping his hat to Tampa. Thrash will be here but in a more physical role than the typical wideout. If Ade is still around tomorrow I will have to think that he has some dirt on Snyder... He should be on the first bus out of town. How 'bout Betts? Anyone still think he has a shot?

Yes. Only to be traded later. Betts and Gardner were offered for Ogunleye. So there's a plan to get him out of here for somebody.

If you remember, Gibbs occasionally used a wideout to block defensive linemen years ago. Monk and sometimes Sanders would seal off the backside on counter-trey runs. I've seen McCants once or twice do the same thing this preseason.
