that means that either Johnson, Gabriel, Benjamin, or Snead is slated to start right? Great.

Don't be surprised to see Johnson start...and do well.

CBS sports says Justin staples is also cut. I like the kid, I think this is a bad move

I gotta admit, l had to look him up to see what position he played. LB. i'm sure they're gonna try to get some of these guys on the PS. Staples and Gilkey are eligible, not sure about some of the others.

I hope we sign Stephen Hill

johnson was the receiver that got his helmet knocked off last preseason game because manziel threw the ball a foot over his head. besides being almost decapitated i like his size and if he can catch the freakin ball and run routes we'll at least have some serviceable WRs. look for barnidge and cam to have big years.

lewis was a fumbler and even though i liked his speed and how he could cut him getting hurt last year soured me on him as a RB. loved oogah but with agnew now and the way crowell just blew the doors off the other night these guys had to go.

Eric Winston cut by Seahawks, solve our problem at right tackle?

Louisville Slugger

I'm more worried about CB than I am WR. Gilbert isn't ready, skrine is a slot guy, trufant is 4'11", and Desir needs to go to the practice squad.

I wouldnt mind rolling the dice on hill, but I would wait until I see who else gets cut.

Only know him as a PA spokesman or whatever he is. Don't know how effective he is.

There's a chance, I'd say.

Mary Kay saying McFadden cut

Supposedly MarQuis Gray has been cut.

That one wasn't rocket science.

Hate to see him go- had a few nice catches in the preseason. Probably due to his case of fumbleitis.

Connor Shaw cut

If we really cut Oby AND Gray... wow

NOOOOOOOOOO! (I sound like a Manzealot)

Hope he'll make it to the practice squad. How could Farmer and Pettine possibly miss his incredible greatness to not put him on the 53 man roster? (Manzealot speak)

Calculated risk. Doubt Grossman would have been picked up by anyone if we released him.

Wow. My prayers answered in mcfadden...the connor shaw thing...SMH...really..someone will snatch him up if we dont PS him

Watching the last preseason game, it seemed to me that Agnew sewed up the fullback spot, and I don't think Oby was really lin in the running to make this team after we added West and Crowell and went with a conventional FB.

Burleson has been relatively injury free during his football career. He was injury free in college and sustained a torn knee ligament in 2008. Of course, last September was the infamous 2 broken arm car crash he endured trying to save his pizzas from rolling off the front seat. The Lions cut him in march 2014 which tells me the broken bones may have a poor long term prognosis.

Tate played with cracked ribs for a good part of the 2013 season which is a good indicator of his toughness.

Forgot about Burls ongoing hammy issue which left him a poor position to make the team

im sorta shocked cut 2 rbs im not impressed with west i liked what saw of crowell but got remember he was playing against guys who will be flipping burgers next week

Clevfan4life

hopefully there was something about Dion that we're not privy too otherwise I don't get it. He looked as good as Tate and West against 1st team defense's. If it were a 2 back system with him and either Tate or West, I think Dion would get more ypc's. He's not a fulltime back he needs someone to do the heavy lifting...but he was our most dynamic runner. Crowell, didn't see much of him cause I didn't watch much of any browns games deep into the 3rd and 4th quarters once it's our practice squad defense and JF comes out of the game. So don't really care what he looked like against, as someone else already pointed out...guys that will be looking for a job next week. Oh well. Obby is a cut long overdue though. Guy really had no place on our team. He's an avg to below avg RB and even worse as a FB.

I felt the same way, but someone posted awhile back about every team's backup QBs. Some of those backups were so crappy that, if a starter went down, Rex would be gobbled up. Besides, he'll be a great mentor for Johnny in this system & an experienced vet.
