Cuts to 53....

Gaines was bad, Desir not much better. I am suprised at Desir for the simple fact we are very thin at corner now. Maybe they find someone off the scrap heap.

Ya, the Caldwell guy 5th round pick, never played, they are just stashing him on the 53 because they don't want to cut him. The 4th corner, forget his name, but he played well ... Patterson? He could probably get replaced once they go through the waiver releases and see what is out there.

Seeing a couple names of Safeties, but not CBs...

Still a couple teams to go...

All 14 2016 draft picks have made the team, says alot about the previous regime's ability to draft.

As much as our old drafts blow, it isnt surprising to see a new regime keep "their guys" in close calls.

no room for a 5'2" WR, we were brain washed into thinking that was ok.

Who's 'we'?

It's who we were given to work with by Farmer.

It sucks though. Gabriel was pretty decent. But we just don't need jockeys on our football team.

Desir was the only one that really "shocked" me. I still had hopes for him but it is what it is.

Or the current FOs love affair with their picks. Barring someone taking a trip to IR, 2 more have to go when Gordon and Bryant come back week 5.

I thought Louis with his lack of playing time might wind up on the practice squad or IR.

I never thought Gabriel had a chance to make this team until the game against the Bears, he was pretty good. Turns out that was just audition tape for his next job.

He's just too damn small.

Yup, Hawkins is the only shrimp- 5'7" that's left.

I have a hard time believing patterson is better than desir

What was odd, weeks ago Horton moved Desir from CB to S. They must really like the young CB's & Caldwell has not played?

They kept all the Safetys I reckon.

Or maybe not fuck I don't know.

France maybe? but think there's a upgrade out there? Turn-style-Hart--NO tanks..

Mr. Make-Believe

They cut Kasey Redfern? wasn't he their punter in the Lee trade?

Yep-the punter they brought in to compete was obviously better so we traded Lee for a 4th rounder in 2018..

Oh yeeeeah... The other guy. I forgot about the other guy.

I'd be interested to know how these cuts were determined. Like, how much did Sashi (Mr. Final Say) have to do with it? Did he basically just sign off on it? Or did he mandate, "You ain't cutting any of the draft picks".....or somewhere in between.

And then we released them both Palardy (the competition) and Redfern (part of the CAR trade) and signed Colquitt... a cap casualty with the Broncos.

And they are going to discover that Mile high air is a lot thinner that Cleveland air so punting average will drop a little. But, very good punter nonetheless.

I am thinking Matthews and Hamlett for sure ... And I think that's about it.

I think we still have 1 more punter we can deep 6 on the active roster for an intriguing Corner or Center that got cut this weekend. If John Sullivan became a salary cap cut as a guy who made Pro Bowls for Minnesota so they could make room for Bradford's salary requirement (unless they get a cap break for Teddy B's IR). Sullivan was expected to start again for a Minnesota team that made the playoffs last year. That would be proven reliability vrs hoping a Farmer first round pick cuts the mustard here.
