Who Are Our Final Cuts?

[Tour2ma]

Jennings to the PS would be nice...

so, while a guy like lenz looks "better" to us, because of his catches......a guy like Moore looks better to the coaches, because he contributes every game...

Sometimes your spare hood ornaments have to be functional?

This is interesting concerning final 53.

Yes, I think Thad is gone, but a third vet qb could be brought in. McGroin makes sense since he played for Flip.

The Matt Barkley / Tim Tebow loser?

Just kidding re Tebow.

Just wanted to say it before someone says it with sincerity.

You can scratch Barkley off your wish list.

@AdamSchefter: And so now, if Eagles carry three QBs, Tim Tebow makes it. But Matt Barkley is headed to AZ for a conditional 7th-rd pick.

Smart move by the Cards.

[Unsympathetic]

Pryor over Carder

Carder does not have NFL-level skills at LB. Keeping a player who's not able to play the field is a luxury we can't afford

I would "hate" to lose Lenz. With the history of drops in this city, man that kid is a flycatcher. And lest we forget he had some catches in the first or 2nd game where flat out beat some starting DB's on a pure vertical route. Kid has quicks. Not the biggest guy so I dunno, maybe not at Welkers level yet cause that guy you could send anywhere. But given some time I think Lenz can be the next welker.

I'm seeing a lot of Bryan Brenan in Lenz. I think he makes the 53. My guess is he won't clear waivers.

Carder is only on the team because of his special teams play. The same could be said about Bademosi.

[Riffer X]

Well, cutting Lenz is pure fucking genius.

[tiamat63]

Confirmed Lenz gone. Love to have kept him. Hopefully a shot we get him on the PS but I doubt he clears waivers

[Mike H]

He will clear waivers lol

[Mudfly]

@mike-h said:

agreed.....he'll be there waiting.....if we need him.....

[Mudfly]

Sounds like Jacoby McDaniel is gone too....

[gumby73]

Hope Lenz does make PS to protect injuries to smalls Hawk, Gabe, Hart or Benji..Our real concern imo is WR's with any size Bowe, Pryor and Mayle have proved absolutely nothing.
