The claims are done. We should hear about the waiver claims and practice squad signings pretty soon. Sometime this afternoon.

 Do you have any thoughts regarding why our staff and Ballard chose someone else after months of knowing and seeing him in the classroom and practice.

 

 

so, I remember the 49ers doing something very similar with Shananan, and they had good success at it. 

 

At the end of the day, our TES were better than our middle-bottom WRs, I think they agreed with this and decided to cut the bottom of the WRs off.

 

I think we also still have the chance to sign 1 more WR most likely. 

 

TBH, while it's been marked as a more pass-happy offense, I don't really think so too much. Sure we will have more inventive play calling, but I'm going to assume we might still have a run-first offense. 

 

So, in short, the bottom TEs were better, and we still have a chance to scoop someone who's been cut or waived in one of the most dense position groups in the league.

 

A lot of these young rookie WRs come in close to the skillset of washed up, or average vets/

It makes zero sense to me. 

 

Maybe Brown gets cut when Lammons comes off suspension.

That means they have cleared waivers of course…. So funny we haven’t heard about those picked up via waivers yet.

Wouldn't it be a kick in the chops if Rush ends up making the Chiefs squad and turns out to be a dude?

Cowboys Shockingly Release Breakout Defender

 

https://sportdfw.com/posts/cowboys-shockingly-release-breakout-defender-01h917hmp5fs

 

https://sportdfw.com/posts/9-cowboys-who-will-be-cut-by-tuesday-s-roster-deadline-01h8f9gjbj5n/4

 

The former Florida A&M standout had an absolutely dominant season in the MEAC in 2021 (19.5 sacks), but his disappointing 2022 led to his going undrafted, The 23-year-old is still a little undersized on the edge (6-foot-4 but only 215 pounds), and his preseason appearances proved he's not ready to compete at the NFL level yet.

 

He showed some nice pass-rush moves, but he had no solo tackles and as many missed tackles as he had assisted tackles (2 each) through his first two posteason games.

 

With his job on the line he had an underwhelming showing again with 1 tackle and 1 assist.

 

I know this is an unpopular pick with Cowboys fans, who largely want him to be a roster lock, but this is also a numbers game. He'd have to overtake Vellami Fehoko (a fourth-round pick) or Dante Fowler for the final spot on the depth chart, and I just don't think he's quite far along enough to do that.

 

Land is an obvious practice squad pick, and hopefully adding some size and strength helps him reach his full potential as a viable edge defender in the pros.

Damn, Land is 215 lbs as an edge rusher?

 

Get that guy some pancakes, stat!

That's it for waiver claims

[GoColts8818]

Rush and Kareem were claimed from the Colts.

[1959Colts]

So now we must have cut three players

Yeah, Sills was acquitted of the charges (it was kidnapping and rape, BTW).  So, legally, he's totally in the clear.  But hopefully it was, like, innocent not guilty....rather than just insufficient evidence not guilty.

So the Eagles took Rogers from us... and we took Sills from them

Looks that way.  And if we add a WR or RB we cut some more.

I figured somebody would grab Rush.  Not surprised the Chiefs did.

 

I think he's got some real potential.  But apparently he just didn't have a great camp -- and Darrell Baker Jr. really did.  So, there you go.

I mean...there are safeties in the NFL that weigh 215 lbs.

Since the Chiefs picked last , I'm thinking we lost Rush to the last team that could have claimed him. Bummer......

Still need some Oline help

We need to make 3 roster moves. We could put guys like woods and fries on short term IR and only cut 1 player

Can’t see Fries.  He’s the penciled in starter.  He should be ready by the opener.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I miss 2021 when colts were so deep on the Oline. We had so many injuries and Covid  that year and didn’t miss a beat.

Recent history, one team has been making all the right decisions and one team all the wrong ones. So, yeah, Rush is definitely going to win the Super Bowl for KC with a pick 6.
