Early Cut List

welcome to the board

and yeah, betts seems to have a legit shot, he'll definately make this cut, there's about 12 people ahead of him (at least) for a ride on the next bus out of town, and only 4 spaces to go around.

i hope you're kidding on morton, he's a good returner (he did run one back last year). he does fair catch an awful lot... but before him we were using champ, who has NO hands...

besides returns, he's also cheap depth at WR and RB.

Thrash will be handling a lot of returns. I don't know Morton's stats but he's not averaging 12 yards a return.

I agree. Morton needs to stay. He is an all around player and with the help of some better special teams play he could have a big year. But Bowen????????

GoSkins, welcome to the board!

I'm really surprised they cut Kevin Mitchell. I guess this means they're totally confident that Barrow's injury is nothing to worry about and he'll be ready September 12

Either that, or my boy Khary Campbell's about to blow up!!

well they said they are going to announce it tomorrow instead of today, the players know. What a shitty phone to have to get.

the WP already broke it, see one of my last posts... it lists all 10 cuts, with 4 more to come by tuesday.

People baying for Mortons blood obviously have someone else in mind for a third down back/kick returner. Morten cannot return kicks on his own without blocking and special teams were far from special last year . The fact he managed to return one was a testement to his skills . He also came into some games at running back and looked much quicker and decisive than any of the other backs we had at times pluss he has the hands and speed to fill a flanker role in Gibbs offence.

Thrash was brought in because of his work ethic, the fact he had been a starting WR in Philly and he can contribute on special teams specifically on PR and give some opptions on kick returns.

So far, the blocking has been 100% better than last season, and Morton has not been impressive in his returns. He seems indecisive on punt returns. But it is extremely doubtful that Thrash will be a regular return-man. Gibbs definitely does not like his starters on offense OR defense returning kicks. Thrash will be either #3 or #2 WR, so he will have VERY limited return duties. So, it seems the return jobs are still up for grabs.

well, mccants used to play TE, and it shows

DB Ryan Clark had been listed as cut in the WP... but he wasn't cut yet.
Redskins website gave the Post another jab.
