    I thought Wade would last till the last cut. But two TD's given up last night is bad.

    At least Les is still winning in life with that gf.

    I thought Wade had some promise but he got beat on a few very tough catches last night.

    No surprises here. I like the defensive tackle from Pitt. Maybe he ends up on a practice squad.

    Brown will likely go to our PS if no one picks him up (which I doubt anyone will).

    We got 3 more to go. I wonder if any WRs will be let go.

    I honestly don't think Brown makes it to the PS... you'd think being cut this early sealed his fate although maybe Ireland is trying to fool the league by doing so. They've done it before IIRC (release guys for the first round of cuts and bring them back for the PS).

    I don't know, given Ireland's (supposed) feelings towards Brown, and the initial investment I'd be surprised if he weren't brought back. Especially with how coach-able he seems to be.

    I agree. PS members are very rarely cut in the first round of major cuts. I would be completely surprised if he is a member of the PS after the final roster is set.

    Les Brown getting cut wasn't surprising, but hey, for a guy that didn't play college ball, he got an opportunity and that's all he asked for. Most people don't even get that.

    Those 2 TD's Wade gave up, he was in good position, it was just a combination of his lack of size and 2 perfectly thrown balls. 95% of the corners in the league would have fell victim to those throws.

    If HK shows any of these cut conversations, would think an agreement would have to be reached to edit out any PS intentions or conversations, right?

    A lot of times you'll see veterans get cut early as a consideration to allow them the time and opportunity to perhaps catch on elsewhere.

    With 3 cuts left you might see a veteran or two let go.

    And if she goes, then there will likely be another one in her place.

    He had good coverage on the 1st one, it was just a great throw and catch. The 2nd one was bad to let a WR who may not make their 53 beat him.
    I'd guess, barring waiver wire pickups, that gives Quinten Lawrence a chance as the 5th corner.

    Cook, Barker, and Lyons are my guesses for the last 3 cuts.

    Maybe it's just you? Les Brown's GF was with him well before he ever decided to try out for the NFL.

    Not sure about Cook. Perhaps Kevyn Scott, perhaps Cameron Collins, Ray Feinga, or Chandler Burden.

    you know, Collins didn't look that bad last night. I see PS potential there. He's a big man with mobility... but maybe better suited in our old defense? Who is Ray Feinga... I only know of Ray Finger. (thanks Dick Stockton)

    Burden might surprise. Yeatman might make the roster. Barker is a goner I think. The Dolphins might put Scott and McCray on IR.

    Really like what I've seen from Yeatman. Hope we can stash him on the PS because I think he's an odd man out at OL if we keep the following:

    Long
    Incognito
    Pouncey
    Jerry
    Martin
    Hicks
    Samuda
    Garner
    Murtha

    That's nine.

    Actually glad to see Gray go on PUP. I didn't think he had a real shot this year. Hopefully we can keep him around for next season and get him in the Spring in tip-top shape. And, would love to see Brown stay around. He's just a fast guy and has some potential to be a Dallas Clark type player, if his hands improve, imo.
