CUTS

If we really cut Oby AND Gray... wow
Watching the last preseason game, it seemed to me that Agnew sewed up the fullback spot, and I don't think Oby was really lin in the running to make this team after we added West and Crowell and went with a conventional FB.

Burleson has been relatively injury free during his football career. He was injury free in college and sustained a torn knee ligament in 2008. Of course, last September was the infamous 2 broken arm car crash he endured trying to save his pizzas from rolling off the front seat. The Lions cut him in march 2014 which tells me the broken bones may have a poor long term prognosis.
Tate played with cracked ribs for a good part of the 2013 season which is a good indicator of his toughness.
Forgot about Burls ongoing hammy issue which left him a poor position to make the team

hopefully there was something about Dion that we're not privy too otherwise I don't get it. He looked as good as Tate and West against 1st team defense's. If it were a 2 back system with him and either Tate or West, I think Dion would get more ypc's. He's not a fulltime back he needs someone to do the heavy lifting...but he was our most dynamic runner. Crowell, didn't see much of him cause I didn't watch much of any browns games deep into the 3rd and 4th quarters once it's our practice squad defense and JF comes out of the game. So don't really care what he looked like against, as someone else already pointed out...guys that will be looking for a job next week. Oh well. Obby is a cut long overdue though. Guy really had no place on our team. He's an avg to below avg RB and even worse as a FB.

Connor Shaw cut
Hope he'll make it to the practice squad. How could Farmer and Pettine possibly miss his incredible greatness to not put him on the 53 man roster? (Manzealot speak)
Calculated risk. Doubt Grossman would have been picked up by anyone if we released him.

I felt the same way, but someone posted awhile back about every team's backup QBs. Some of those backups were so crappy that, if a starter went down, Rex would be gobbled up. Besides, he'll be a great mentor for Johnny in this system & an experienced vet.

Champ bailey just got released. Good mentor/place filler?

Probably not. Grossman is the veteran 3rd QB we wanted on the roster.

Champ Bailey and Eric Winston would both be great pickups.

Robert Meachem anyone?

I doubt N.O. would have dropped Bailey if they thought he had anything left in the tank. Winston HAS to be better than Schwartz though.

Agree... Bailey looked done last year. Winston is a coin flip. No idea what either has in the way of a contract... may be a factor.
So as of now here's how we stand per the CBS Sports site...
Cuts to get to 53: RB Dion Lewis, LB Justin Staples, WR Nate Burleson, RB Chris Ogbonnaya, CB Leon McFadden, QB Connor Shaw
No mention of Gilkey...

Just six or seven? Or are the cuts still coming in?

Gabriel and Johnson made it
Gabriel and Johnson made it
I called it on Gabriel, well deserved. Mild surprise on Desir was on my bubble- thought for sure he'd get waived or put on IR

For me, the biggest surprise was Snead getting released.
