Who Are Our Final Cuts?

Also, only carrying 6 OL. Guessing we pick one up from waivers pretty quickly (since Farmer is suspended as of tomorrow night?)

Looking at the roster, I could take a crack at the guys I've never heard of getting the axe- but I won't. The only cut I'm really interested in is if Pryor makes the final 53. He can't be stashed on Practice squad.

I do wonder why they didn't keep Shaw active, put him on the 53- and then use the IR designated to return on him. Enlighten me if there's a limit to how many players you can use that on. If it's only one, I understand their thinking. I think Shaw would be more valuable down the road than any of the other 22 hangers on that are going to get the boot.

As far as I can see, I was wrong only on Mayle out, Bademosi in. Any others?

McDonald out... Seymore in (but suspended first 4 games)

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.

Bowe looked terrible, Hartline is solid. Need a QB and WR need big WR's next year

Why cut Lenz?

Ha...except thats the one I posted(justed quoted yours, then added my guys, to save some writing...not to confuse)...

To break the tie Mud, where is Housler? Sorry we all had him out but TheNews had it all along.

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

He will clear waivers lol

OK Mike- I"d love to hear why team(s) think Lenz isn't that good. Didn't realize he was on the Colts & Seahawks rosters too.

I'd compare that to the absolute suckage we saw preseason out of Bowe. MHO is that guy is as washed up as a dead whale on a beach.

Unsympathetic

Bowe's stats won't be any better than Duron Carter, who was just cut by the Colts. One of the main reasons they kept Bowe was the 6'2/220 size.. and Carter's a bit taller at 6'5/205. Carter's also 6 yrs younger than Bowe [24 vs 30].

He's not very good. Is still unclaimed. Average size, speed and hands. Made catches against future CFL defenders. Way too much hype for a JAG

Size, sure, though his 40 time was around 4.4. Not saying he's a star, but that's not slow.

Not necessarily fast, either. 15+ WR's ran in the 4.4's in the last NFL combine, of about 40 participants.

It's slightly above average, but nothing to secure a roster spot over. Especially when we have three other receivers who clocked faster 40 times.

Sure. I'm not a lenz-a-holic like others, but I wouldn't mind seeing him on the PS. Wynn is more in the mould of the Gabe/Hawk receiver than Lenz, I think, so he probably won't be back. I hope Mayle is back, but that's purely because I hope we didn't waste a fourth round pick on him.

I agree with all of those points. I don't know is Lenz is eligible, though. I would hope so, but I don't feel like looking it up.

He hasn't played a snap in a competitive game, so should be?

he's eligible.....
