I don't know them enough to give informed opinion. I liked Holton Hill a lot in the draft... how has he been? Roc Thomas could be a RB claim for some RB deprived team 

 

You need a WR? The Vikes released Tavares King, WR. He played for the Giants last year.

Colts Cut S TJ Green

 

I wonder if Pete Carroll has called Chuck Pagano or Chris Ballard and asked about him. I heard Pat Kirwan (who is close to Carroll) say Pete was always interested in TJ Green.   Let's see if Seahawks make a move in him.

I guess Minnesota was done with Jones since they could have held onto him through his PED suspension

He had to be cut. He was a practice squad player who was recently charged with domestic violence. In addition, he and his brother Zay Jones of the Buffalo Bills were in the news a few months ago for some other issue. We don't need that distraction.

Agreed 

    But they could have waited since he will not count against the 53

[ColtsBlueFL]

Sorry @NFLfan, I'm hoping we can steal Chad Beebe from the Vikes (if they do waive him), then stash him on our Practice Squad after a week on the 53 man roster. He could be a great Wes Welker type guy for us down the road.

 

To me, this is where I will determine the Pro Personnel departments strengths/abilities.  Helping Ballard claim some better talent than we currently have for depth. We have a good claim position, let's work it.

Vikes fans hope we keep Chad Beebe. I think we may. May I interest you in trading for Brandon Zylstra or Stacey Coley?

I know what you're saying, but there is no sense in keeping an unwanted player. I liked him as a receiver but he came with too much baggage.

Oh wow! Korey Robertson too? I forgot how many of my personal favorites you guys got this year. No idea how he's played in pre-season but I loved him coming out of college... I think the Colts had serious interest in him in the draft too... had multiple interviews with the Colts if I'm not mistaken.

Robertson did not play much at all. I don't think I saw him once. We played a lot of Chad Beebe, Jeff Badet, and Jake Weineke as well as Laquan Treadwell. Maybe the Colts will sign Robertson. I'd like that for him.

 

Your other favorite was Hercules Mata'afa (spelling?). He got injured early in OTAs or minicamp and is on IR.

LOL, no trades.  We'll just claim guys we are looking at  when they hit the waiver wire.

Lol. Makes sense. I would think that the Giants, who would have first cracks at waiver wire guys, would claim players from the Vikings, given that Shurmur is familiar with most of the players. This off-season, he claimed a player that I had hoped we would keep on our 90 man roster, TE Kyle Carter.

True, but it depends on what Tom Couglin the 2nd (Shurmur looks much like him in that hat on the sidelines, and a red face at times!!) feels he has on his roster.  I predict they win the division, Colts need a lot more.

 Say it ain't so! Ugh. Will miss B-Rob and all he brought to us. I'm not happy about this. 

 

Beebe cut too??? Ya know the Pats will try to sign him. Hope @ColtsBlueFL nabs him for the Colts.

[NFLfan]

Other Vikings cuts:

 

Blake Bell, TE

Ifeadi Onegdibo, DL (a smart team will get a very good player)

 

[PrincetonTiger]

Bengals have placed Matt Barkley on the reserved injured list

Working the phones to the Pro Player director now... get out the tape!!  Show them to CB and FR ASAP!!

Bit of a shocker

   Pats have cut QB Danny Eitling

[LucasOilStadium]

Ray-Durs traded Khalil Mack to Da Bears for a slew of first-round draft picks between the teams  reported from Adam Schefter's Twitter.

Btw, Holton Hill did make the team as did former Colts DT David Parry. The latter was a surprise. I believe that you liked running backs Roc Thomas and/or Mike Boone. They both made the team, but we (fans) suspect the Vikes might look to trade Roc.

 

Terence Newman retired and joined the Vikings coaching staff.

A few names I see just glancing over the wire. Jihad Ward, Joe Ostman, Bronson Kafusi, Caleb Brantley

The Trade that brought Ward to Dallas and sent Switzer to Oak really worked well for both teams

Did anybody watch Quentin Meeks this preseason? If so was he any good?

[ColtsBlueFL]

The guys have to be an improvement, a scheme fit, and know enough playbook verbiage to get the nuances of the playbook down fast in order to get on the 53 man roster over a guy that survived the cuts and already knows the playbook and the installs.  Rogers and the scouts have their work cut out to convince CB and FR of making bottom of the roster changes.  But I expect they can, and will.

I have a feeling some of the assistants will be brought in too

[krunk]

I think Bronson Kafusi is worth a look. Was a very productive sack man at BUT. He's long and quick. Just didn't quite fit the Ravens scheme. Had a pretty good preseason. He's really a 4-3 DE.
