    According to a generally well connected guy on twitter the Jets are trying hard to trade Sheldon Richardson, would we have any interest there? 

    Another DE?

    We're overloaded at DE already with some decent Players . . . is he that much better than anyone of them is the question?

    In our scheme I'm sure Richardson would be a 3-tech DT... not all that different from his 3-4 role with the Jets.

    That said... we are not without 3-techs... not of Sheldon's caliber... but we have some. Add that Sheldon comes with a little baggage and I think it's a close call.

    So Haden cut and signs with Pittsburgh 3 years for $27 Million

    Cam Erving traded to Kansas City for a 5th Round pick.

    Brock's been on the Clock for some time, don't expect anything soon, but then I didn't think we'd get anything for Cam . . .

    Wonder what other surprises we have in store?

    I don't think there'll be anyone between Myles and Danny... hard to double them both... 😉

    But agree... Jets' launch window has been delayed, so they are going to have to move some talent.

  • If Shelton and Danny don't combine for at least 7 sacks this year we NEED to cut bait and get what we can for them! I would hope that if we package them we could get ourselves another third round selection!! 😍😍

    Shelton AND Danny?   Are you attributing schizophrenia to him?   Danny and Shelton are the same guy, no?

    Don't you mean "Balls" big enough....to make such a gutsy move?

  • Rumor out that the Browns are getting ready to sign a WR within the next 24 hours . . .

  • Rumor of the year nominee... 🙄

  • It's a trade deal that's supposed to be lined up (second item):

    First item also of interest.

  • First cuts are in... two of them. Looks like SI is going to update this link as they occur: https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/01/nfl-roster-cuts-2017-tracker-news-analysis-final-cutdowns

    I'm sure there will be similar list updates at ESPN and other sites...

    Here are the first two:

    11:45 a.m. ET: Eagles cut WR Paul Turner

    For a brief moment last year, WR Paul Turner looked like he might emerge as a young star for the Eagles. He’ll have to continue that rise elsewhere. Turner went off for 80 yards on six catches in Week 13, but a fractured scapula this summer kept him from winning a job in Philadelphia. Still, he’s just 24, with some upside.

    10:00 a.m. ET: Buccaneers cut DE George Johnson

    And … we’re off! The first (reported) cut of what’s sure to be a frantic Friday comes out of Tampa Bay, where DE George Johnson will be released. He had a breakthrough 2014 for the Lions (6.0) sacks, which he parlayed into a three-year deal with the Bucs as a restricted free agent; Detroit dealt him for a fifth-rounder rather than match that deal.

    That was the high point for Johnson. He had zero sacks in ‘15 and spent last year or I.R. with a hip issue. He’ll get some looks based on experience alone—the Lions actually could use some DE help—but it’s not a surprise to see Tampa Bay cut the cord.

  • Complementing SI's running time line which makes it easy to see each additional player waived is CBS's site which is a team by team summary of waived players.

  • I see former Browns draftee Charles Gaines DB cut by Jags.

    Eagles cut RB Ryan Matthews...a former big name.

    Down to 65 so far.

    Biggest "surprises" so far on that list: Stribling, Caldwell,  Mullaney, Schult

    Isn't Caldwell like the only person drafted these last two years by this FO that they have let go?  Or did he come here before this group? All the others were UDFAs, no?

    Mullaney had played very well I thought.   (Better than the likes of Jordan Payton, Higgins, Louis).  Schult played well I thought.  And Stribling and Caldwell I thought both had a chance to stick in the backfield....especially Stribling after Joe Haden let go.

    Summary:

    DIp70HYWsAA9x6W.jpg:large

    And from SI:

    1:45 p.m. ET: Broncos release RB Stevan Ridley

    Stevan Ridley rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown in Denver’s 30–2 (real score) win over Arizona on Thursday, but it wasn’t enough to secure the veteran RB a job, though. He was one of the early running back cuts, along with Detroit’s Matt Asiata and Baltimore’s Bobby Rainey. It’ll be interesting to see how all these dominoes fall. Teams are pretty well-stocked in the backfield by this point, but a few of these names could change a depth chart or two

    1:25 p.m. ET: Browns announce 18 transactions, reduce roster to 65 players

    Browns DL Karter Schult had a handful of strong preseason games, but the team has plenty of depth at defensive line, especially with sixth-round draft pick Caleb Brantley.

    12:40 p.m. ET: Broncos trade OT Ty Sambrailo to Atlanta for a 2018 fifth-round pick

    Another of those mid-round picks is on the move, as the Broncos reportedly have sent OT Ty Sambrailo to Atlanta for 2018 fifth-rounder. Not much return on Sambrailo, a ‘15 Round 2 pick, but in line with those aforementioned Tomlinson and Erving moves.

    Sambrailo was expected to compete for a starting gig in Denver, both on the left and right sides. He never materialized as hoped, so Atlanta will try to revitalize him as a depth option.

    He did. But didn't he get injured?
