Late Roster Moves Thread
-
Saw Jason Higdon thinks Bobby Rainey makes more sense than Jonathan Dwyer. Couple good ideas. George Winn, a rookie from Cincinnati just cut by Pats, is already on his way to Berea. He had a promising summer and might be a nice fit. 14 carries, 56 yards, lots of catches.
Some lineman named Velasco got cut, has starts at center and guard. Lots of talk about the Browns putting in a waiver claim.
Gonna be a busy day. Browns have sudden holes to fill.
-
RB Armando Allen cut, CB Antoine Winfield, WR Robert Meachum, TE Visanthe Shiancoe
I'd be interested in all of them. Add some veteran experience with such a young team and they can still contribute in a big way and there all at positions of need
-
He's not gonna start, he could provide veteran leadership, be a reliable guy on 3rd downs, provide some depth atleast untill Gordons back. Definitely worth a look.
-
Shayne Graham cut, Jamorris Slaughter cut, Gordon placed on reserve/suspended list.
-
Kellen Davis cut. Watkins makes some sense. Meachem is said to be broken down.
Several calls for interior DL and Jason Campbell (I'm guessing Bills and/or Jets).
Browns said to be looking for a WR with "serious upside," not a warm body, so that might be a trade. Back will be change of pace type, which puts Rainey in the mix. He returns kicks, too.
Browns could be active on waiver wire because they have the cash (contract stands if they get claimed on waivers). Would give us the edge with a guy like Watkins.
-
2011 first round pick (guard) Danny Watkins cut by Eagles. Said they never saw the aggressiveness from his Baylor days... but maybe he needs a change of scenery?
-
Hearing some Tandon Doss (Ravens cut, former 4th round pick, turns 24 in September). He's said to be very popular and won't make it through waivers.
Tavarres King (Broncos) was a 5th round pick a couple years ago and is also unlikely to make it through waivers. He was a surprise cut.
I could see one of those two and Rainey. Might have to trade for the corner.

According to MKC, the Browns have claimed 6 players off of Waivers, but haven't announced them all yet :

Looking for K & CB I hope.

Don't know if this is real or not:
Well it's been fun SF and thanks for all the love & support! Just got the word and now Off to Cleveland to start over!! Here we go #Browns
Okay, this one seems to be confirmed.
-
Magee is more of Horton's kind of linebacker (225, quick) than Fort, so good trade out. Rainey was a fantastic add. Don't know much about the other guy. If we signed 6 guys on waivers, we have a couple more to find out about. Oh, yeah, the Green Bay G/C... knew we'd be getting one of those.
Good job, Browns. Little things matter. In each case so far, these teams really wanted to put these guys on their practice squads.

Just picked up TE Keavon Milton from Saints according to MKC.
WTF?
a TE @ 6' 4" & 293lbs
