    Also...correct me if I am wrong....but because of their 1-15 record last year, do not the Browns have FIRST CHOICE to pick up any player that has been cut?  

    Would that, in theory also include their own players that they want to cut, but then stash on the PS?

    Players have to go to 53 if picked up off waivers. So no you can't cut them and pick them up to PS. To go to PS they have to completely clear waivers.

    So, basically all 32 teams have to pass on a player to be put on a teams PS?  

    If they are picked up off the waiver list they must be added to the 53 man roster....OK....but...in that case though...the Browns still get first pick of the litter because of their record last year...as long as they are willing to add the guys waived to their own 53 man roster. Right?

    Yes and yes. They have first picks up until the day after the third regular season game. Then it goes by w/l record of current season I think. 

  • I saw Will Blackmon was released by Redskins, anyone think we should give him a look at safety?

    Im not hopeful. He played his way onto an nfl roster. Its was only pre season but he played better than most of our high draft picks and FA acquisitions at edge from past years. Kruger comes to mind. Mingo etc, etc

  • Colts trade Philip Dorsett to the Patriots in exchange for QB Jacoby Brisett 

  • Smile Z, P Andy Lee released by Panthers🙂..our 4th in 18 just got sweeter 

  • Interesting New England side note.....Pats just traded to get Johnson Bademosi from the Lions......

  • Leslie just got cut. Thought he deserved a spot over either Payton or Higgins. 

  • Bengals release T Eric Winston too..can ya play football with nobody left to play OL?😛

    I thought Leslie was a lock to make it.

  • Travis Coons out at Rams..Even Scooby Wright has no Cards left in hometown Zona..Darius Jennings(Brns) out in Tenn. but Tenn puts WR's-Tre McBride & Eric Weems on street...were getting close to 4pm & were still up on da bears again on NFLnetwork..Good Luck Cleveland..Come get s0me.. 

  • Texans cut Brandon We-done today.

  • Well, I can't believe Leslie didn't earn a spot. Practice squad? I don't get it.

    I watched the Bears game today and Leslie made a great one handed reception.  Spectacular.  And then proceeded to drop one thrown RIGHT TO HIM.  I mean, he dropped a REAL EASY one.

    So much for the off season BS Bill B.is so confident in Brisett, he might be willing to trade Garropolo. 

  • Speaking of QB's I predicted Brock Lobster would return to Denver and he is...although they get him at a league minimum and the Browns are left paying over 15 million for a second round pick.
