regarding torrian, i think he's got a shot. considering none of portis, parker, and johnson play special teams, i cant see how we would keep all three of them. seems smarter to me to keep the best two of them and then a younger, change-of-pace-type back who can contribute to special teams.

There is a max roster of 80, I think we were at 88 before these cuts. If so, we still have a few more to go.

I was on the Training Camp bus for Mitchell, ah well who will be this year's hero!

I am very dissapointed that the team released Montgomery and Mitchell. It seems to me that they have decided to go with exeperience or youth and development.

I'm surprised to not see a ranting, paragraph-long-title thread about Mitchell's release. He was like the WR version of CB.

on the recent cuts -- i am operating on the assumption that shannahan knows best. if montgomery, aldridge and mitchell are not part of his masterplan, no skin off my back. marko seemed like he had some potential during preseason games last year, but this is obviously what shanny and company wanted. hail!

I never thought Hagans and Williams would make longer than Mitchell. shows how little we really know.

Yeah, it also shows how little Ivan Carter knows, he had him on the show a couple of days ago. He was talking him up. I could kind of tell that he was having a tough time just by his comments on how hard a time he was having coming in and out of his breaks.

Looks like Sharper has decided to stay with the Saints, don't have it confirmed though

Don't be so sure about LL. SS yes, LB no.

Stupid Sharper. Doesn't he know that Gene Smith is a genius who drafted a Trevor Laws equivalent at 10th overall in Tyson Alualu. Look how great Laws and doing for the Eagles, now imagine that but in Jacksonville. Oh and how can he not see the genius in releasing John Henderson, does he not understand addition by subtraction?

Landry said he may even line up at LB SOMETIMES. I would think this would be used more as a way to confuse the offense than any other reason.

I think this was clarified by Landry himself as not necessarily being true...

According to Schefter Sharper had micro-fracture surgery. No wonder no one wanted him.

Now that he has signed a 1-year deal with Saints, truth can be told on Darren Sharper: he had microfracture knee surgery this off-season.

Thanks Ruhskins. Apparently he meant he would line up at the same depth as a LB, but that's not the way he said it.

Washington Redskins fullback Mike Sellers: 'Extremely tough' to resist steroids - ESPN

But Sellers added that he had some simple reasons to stay away from them.

"I've never been a fan of needles, so that helps,"

Good thing those tattoos are fake

Credit for joke goes to Naha67 from the ESPN comment section
