Cuts and Pickups Thread

Dorsey swapping pieces...
- 09/02 Waived DB Jeremiah McKinnon --> Claimed DB Tavierre Thomas via waivers from Arizona Cardinals
- 09/02 Waived LB Jermaine Grace ---> Claimed LB Tanner Vallejo via waivers from Buffalo Bills
- 09/02 Waived DL Carl Nassib ---> Claimed DL Ifeadi Odenigbo via waivers from Minnesota Vikings
- 09/02 Waived DL Jamie Meder ---> Claimed DL Carl Davis via waivers from Baltimore Ravens
- 09/02 Waived OL Austin Reiter ---> Claimed OL Aaron Neary via waivers from Los Angeles Rams
I always like the guys leaving better than the guys coming because I know them better. But at the end of the day it's just bottom of the roster stuff and that's what our braintrust is paid to do. I hope the LB and DB are good on special teams.

Dunno Thomas and barely know Vallejo, but Davis is a beast in the middle and Odenigbo can rush the passer.
Don't know Neary either... small school kid from some directional Washington St...

Odenigbo intrigues me the most, because the Vikes are loaded on D and they were probably hoping to keep him on the PS just had no roster space. Sounds like he tore it up in Preseason.
And now we can unveil the Ogbah-Ogunjobi-Odenigbo DL. Ooooooooooh Ya.

Most surprised by Drango. Seemed to me neither he nor Corbett established themselves as better than the other at the OG position. I get keeping Corbett as their high 2nd round pick guy and assumed faster learning curve, but l thought Drango would at least make the team with his experience, positional flexibility, and because he wasn’t awful.
I thought Dayes earned a spot too, but l get the position log jam.
Makes for a bit of a depressing end to Hard Knocks. All 3 underdawg story lines didn’t make it: Cajuste, Orchard and Roback.

Who gives a flying Shmuck about a 'depressing end to hard knocks'?Z

Ouch! I liked Reiter.
I was never too crazy about Nassib or Meader. I always felt that if we had to play them that we didn't have our best D on the field. (I certainly wish them both well)

*Finally, we stop wasting a roster spot on a terrible fullback. I can't remember the last season we weren't essentially spotting the rest of the league 1 roster spot.
*Who are darren fells and orson charles?
*It's great that devaroe lawrence won't give up, but I'd rather he have a quick first step and faster hands than the OL he's facing..
*Tavierre Thomas.. couldn't beat jamar taylor. Div2 AllAmerican, 4.38, that's great, but meh.
*over at PFF, Carl Davis was second-best DL in his draft class in pass rush productivity vs Power5 opponents. PFF had him ranked as a first rounder.

Fells is our #1 blocking TE, we picked him up in free agency. He's also athletic and can catch passes. Huge upgrade over Randall Tefler who is now out of football.
Charles was a mystery man to me too. Another blocker, has bounced around, Hue had him as his fullback in Cincy one year. Apparently at 6'3 250lb, he's the guy we'll use when we need a fullback.

I was sort of hoping the waiver wire process would give us some sort of math that showed how much improved our roster was, like comparing claims vs. cut players that other teams picked up. Last l see we are 5 - 2. Picked up 5 and other teams picked up 2.
Ideally that ratio would be flip flopped, meaning we are gushing with talent and other teams want our cast offs. Hopefully we’re getting there.

Yeah, I looked him up. I was confusing him for the DE/OLB from Oklahoma that wore #31.
Nice pickup though.

Does Puppy drum count
. wup Mike.. Once a year, my family of Jimmy Buffet gypsies scream 3 times.."There's a Hurricane coming! go save the Boat!" We lost one at topsail island previously while we were in OH(io) (Thanks Nationwide). The village idiots swarm like 2ft of snow hits OH.? Some solid friends left town in Emerald Isle, so the wife got a call to "come babysit the pets" SWEET! We pull 3 large cruisers to land & throw in some sound cruisers. Cruising the back reefs we hammer'd the Kings & spanish mackerel on planing rigs attached with spoons. I cut out yesterday to see how the 2 head boats did (princess/stacy) loaded with snapper & grouper but a 10 boat league had there own Mahi tourney..Man what a day they had..Ok back to winning some games..Go Browns!!

Possibly reported elsewhere, but Vitale cleared waivers and was put on IR.

A nightmare for play by play announcers.?
Could be worse.... could be a MLB double play combination...

Add in our two trades and we're 5-4!
