Good luck to him wish him the best.

and, so it begins...

[stitches]

I wonder how many players we have under contract and how many do we need to clear to sign the rookies and UDFAs... 

[Four2itus]

Its a deep WR room. Let's just hope that we don't have to ask any of these guys back because of injuries like last year. That was over the top as far as injuries to one position.

Like the new avatar....

[holeymoley99]

Wont be long before the Jets sign him and make him ex Colt #11 on their roster....

[MTC]

Unfortunate part of the business with post-draft cuts.

Yeah Patton is at the least a camp lock. He’ll be competing with Marcus Johnson and Daurice Fountain for the WR 5 spot.

It's 83 right now on Spotrac, already including Blankenship. So substracting him, Brown and Ishmael, we have room for 10 UDFAs (with Blankenship being one of them).

Does that include the drafted players?

If only we had some sort of conduit to that type of information.

Thanks for the correction!

This is only the start of WR's being let go. 

[Jackie Daytona]

I need Blankenship to make the team so our kicking game will consist of RigoRigo!

 

[DrWhom]

Not unexpected, but I am really disappointed that Ishmael didn't work out better for us. Have been cheering for him to do well... Best of luck to both players!

[Scott Pennock]

By my count, cutting these two puts us right at 90 with the draft picks and the UDFA's that have been linked to us.

[EastStreet]

Always liked Ismael, but not surprised at all. Thought he might last into Camp, but always thought he'd get cut. Only so many seats at the table.

Not to be argumentative,  but, is it?

 

Is it a deep WR room?

 

TY, Pittman, Campbell,  Pascal, Fountain, Patton, Johnson.   I know there are others....

 

Is that really a deep room?  
 

For what it’s worth, I’ve read that next year’s WR class might be almost as good as this years.  Certainly way above average.   I’d expect us to grab another WR or two in 21.
