To be clear, it's Barnes that has drawn my ire though the first four games and deserves to lose PT to Buchanon. Not the other guy.

buchanon over stallworth.

Stallworth will be cut long before Hankerson ever goes to the practice squad. I think we should slow our role on the Hankerson being cut talk, they're not gonna cut a 3rd round rookie wideout 4 games into his rookie season just because he hasn't seen the field yet.

The only "honest mistake" about is that he got caught.

I wouldn't cut Hankerson either. We've got much better options than that.

Stallworth or Sellers cut...PB will be a welcome addition to the Nickle corner. Vet Secondary depth is always a positive.

[GTripp0012]

Hankerson should be playing. As should Austin. With Armstrong out, the only four pro receivers we have on this team are Moss, Gaffney, Austin, and then Hankerson.

If you gave Brandon Banks all of Stallworth's offensive reps, he'd do the job just as well. Which is to say: not very.

I still don't understand why we kept Stallworth. Trade bait after a few weeks and injuries?

Probably. If we could get a pick for him, I'm sure he'd be shipped out. I think something will be done with him by week 6, I quite easily forgot that Kareem Moore is on the PUP list and if he's healthy by week 6 we'll need a roster spot for him. But with Buchanon coming back from suspension and Kareem Moore potentially coming off the PUP list we're gonna need 2 spots, and right now the most likely candidates to be let go are Sellers and Stallworth.

pretty tough on Stallworth! He looked good in preseason, hard to tell from tv what he's done in the games, I think I saw the ball come his way once & it wasn't catchable. Is he just that much slower now?

Still, I see him as a logical cut w/PB comin back.

Dejon Gomes to PS is an option for Moore coming back. I also think Westbrook could be gone. I just don't see Sellers getting cut. Maybe Young will be fully healthy soon & they'll let Sellers go, otherwise I think his versatility will keep his job.

[Chief X_Phackter]

I think it is probably going to be Sellers, given the fact that he has basically disappeared. Does anyone know exactly why?

If not Sellers then it has to be Banks. I had a feeling they may have just kept him for a four week "probation period" until Buchanon was back anyway...produce and you're in, don't and we can't afford to keep you.

I can't see them dumping Stallworth before Banks.

I get not counting Banks as a pro receiver but what about Paul and Stallworth. Hankerson didnt look good in preseason and since he has yet to dress on game days im guessing he hasnt look too hot at practice either.

Stallworth blew his opportunities with Ari and Stl so i think the next guy is Austin and then Paul. Hopefully Hankerson can help out by the end of season, but im betting we see much bigger contributions from either Austin and/or Paul this year.
