    I doubt another team signs Shane Wynn

    You think he is CFL/Arena League material?

  • I would not be surprised to see someone take him soon just to see if what he did on the field is an everyday thing or not.

    I agree Tour. I thought at the time that runback last Sat.might just seal Wynn's fate. But his prior one might have already gained the attention of another team. We'll see shortly.

  • I still think Pryor makes the 53. He's already been informed that he's got at least 2 other teams that want him on their roster.

    Last year, Charles Johnson not only made MInnesota's roster.. he became their #1. That's a trend which doesn't need to continue. Lenz and Mayle both to PS, they won't get picked up by anyone else.

    Gonna guess Benji's punt return closed the door on what chance Shane had...

    Early cut gives Shane opportunity to catch on somewhere else, but if he doesn't, then he might end up back on our PS.

    Hate to be Captain Obvious- but Benjamin's play against Tampa made him a roster lock. Wasn't just the run back either- had a couple nice catches. Pryor's roster spot depends if he plays Thursday.

    Carolina traded for Norwood from Seattle today.

    Everything I've heard makes me think Pryor was a lock/project from Day 1. We'll see, but I think he'll be limited if he plays at all Thursday and still makes the team.

    Arena probably. Looks a little (no pun intended) like Trindon Holliday. I don't see that good of a player though.

    Pettine said in his presser that Pryor making the team didn't necessarily depend on Thursday night. It depends a lot more on making a projection of what he can be, not what he is now or Thursday. His ability to be an emergency QB doesn't hurt, either.

    Well.....Wr is really unfolding as a wide open competition....and a very difficult set of decisions for the staff....

    looks like Benji has really stepped up so far....kudos to you guys who stood with him, as I had him outta here...

    Hartline also has really shown up the past week or 2 and has totally convinced me he isnt the next Nate Burleson....but maybe the next Joe Jurevicius instead....

    We have several UDFA/FA signings who are making waves.....Lenz, Jennings and Wynn have all flashed....

    While a couple guys we were counting on(Housler, Bowe and Mayle) have struggled with drops(and injury)....

    Pryor?.....a sensational week, yes....but he needs to get back on the field.......soon.....

    And Marlon Moore.....showed why weve kept him to this point.....forced fumble on ST......too good to let go?

    It would seem strange if we cut the absolute best version of Travis Benjamin this franchise has invested so much time in training up to be reliable for situational football. He now can run every route in the passing tree, lead us in 17.4 yards per catch in 2014,lead us in TD receptions despite part time duty (meaning he's reliable and CATCHES the ball which is refreshing on this franchise). My favorite change is what we saw on the TD reception - an experienced/trained vet adjusted to a coverage leverage and made a clutch catch in the red zone.

    He's also going to return punts again, which was the very first impression Mike Pettine had of him (while coaching Buffalo) returning a punt for a score in a game we erased a deficit without our starting QB. It's 2 years post surgery, so I doubt we have to keep playing Russian Roulette with that like we had to last year.

    What makes this tough for us fans is we don't see who the coaches are seeing every day in practice and again in the film room. Guys nursing bad hammies are allowing guys like Benjamin and Mayle to make a serious run at making this football team. When Pettine announces he likes to see hard work rewarded by good performance - that hasn't been exclusive to Manziel. He's talking a lot of Benjamin and I guarantee his night vrs Washington didn't hurt that whatsoever.

    Here's my 6 this week:

    Hartline: leaving us no choice but feeling like he is needed

    Bowe: FA commitment with a bad hammy

    Pryor: Early buzz of training camp sentenced to a bad hammy

    Hawk: Great job last year and continues to sport a bust tail work ethic

    Gabriel: Same goodies as Hawk with 17.3 yards per catch from the undrafted rookie who caught seemingly everything

    Benjamin: Exactly why you invest time training a guy who responds to coaching. Elite speed, reliable hands, and a STs threat.

    What if somebody isn't who we thought he'd be? The 30 year old Bowe (already dealing with a hammy issue) is coming off only 60 rec for 754 yards and 0 TDs on a 9-7 football team. The year before that he only had 57 rec for 673 yards and just 5 TDs in 15 games. Are we looking at the same Dwayne Bowe we used to want on our fantasy football rosters? If yes, that's good. If not - somebody with best football ahead is getting cut, IR'd or stashed on the PS as temporary as Charles Johnson was.

    Overall, this sudden WR depth is a good problem to have if we don't end up getting burned keeping someone that can't stay healthy in lieu of someone that has been stepping for those that aren't healthy right now.

    Bowe never showed us anything but rear view mirror this preseason. It would shock me if we cut a WR with promising upside to keep him.

    By the reaction in Cleveland, you'd think Odell Beckham just got cut. This is hilarious.

  • We cut Lenz and haven't cut Mayle and Pryor?

    I'm sorry but Ray Farmer is an absolute fucktard.

    Because he cut Josh Lenz? That's insane.

    You do know other cuts have been made already, just not announced?

    Do you remember when we cut Charles Johnson and he out performed all of our receivers in Minnesota?

    Sorry but Lenz did more than Mayle and Pryor, by far.

  • Who cares? He did it against the Future Montreal Allouettes secondary players?

    I think Mayle should be cut too.

    Darius Jennings is better than both

  • I wonder why there is such concern for cutting Lenz who was one of the more talented WR's on the roster.

    Lance Moore was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cleveland Browns on April 29, 2005. He was later released and then signed to the New Orleans Saints' practice squad.[1]

  • My only issue is.. we should have signed him to our PS. But I want to see the makeup of our PS to see if he's better than anyone we currently have. Otherwise, it's a numbers move -- and no worries.

    Or, if NO put in a waiver claim for him in front of us... also no worries, nothing Farmer could do about that. NO is short on WR, not unexpected.
