I believe if you claim them off waivers they have to be on your active 53 for 3 weeks. I don't have link though

Way to go on the Dixon deal. now we get to face him twice a yr. The FO better hope they were right.

And as far as the avatars for avg players go, well the proof is in the soup uh i mean pudding.

if nothing else, Campbell has has at least taken a snap in a real game as a professional football player. Can't say that about your Hawaiian Jesus.

True, but at least they have 1 thing in common,neither has taken a snap in the playoffs.

They also have that in common with Jay Cutler, Mark Sanchez....and Timmy Chang. Just thought I'd throw that out.

you guys do realize that Chang played 5 yrs to get the records he got and CB played 3 and caught most of them? just throwing that out there.
And i believe Cutler goes this yr, Sanchez maybe.

If they are starting what would have been our 3rd/4th DT than their line is worse than I thought. That said, I thought he played well enough to be here, and I am sure that Vinny, Zorn, and Blache all were hoping he cleared waivers.

People are really getting upset over Dixon? Really?

He applied pressure up the middle every play. He was almost as big as Haynesworth. I think they thought they could put him on the practice squad. But it realy pisses me off.

Many felt his preseason contributions warranted a spot on the roster, but by him being a DT they probably felt stacked at that position.

I'm sad that we lost Dixon. He was a good player in preseason for us.

That said, anyone who is surprised that he was cut really is not paying attention. We have too many other DT's. He would have, at best, been on the practice squad all year long.

Not sure what the hype is about Dixon all of a sudden. Good story but still, an undrafted FA who didn't even start in college. Probably a career backup/journeyman at best. Just a numbers game at DT. You can't keep everyone.

We learned last yr you dont have to start in college to make an impact. Cassel-- but you are right, we'll see.
I didnt think he was a starter,just not a bad guy to have in the rotation.

He had a stretch of like 3 or 4 plays in a row where he was blowing things up -- I think it was the Baltimore game. He made a good impression for awhile.

In the end though, we just had too many DTs that could play. Like you said we can't keep everybody, and that's why I hope the roster restrictions are loosened once the new CBA takes effect.
