What should we do with waivers? [Merge]

[Gavin]

More cuts will be happening any time now

[FightLikeSin]

I wonder if grigs is going to do anything soon

Probably won't see a whole lot until next week. That's when the "best of the worst" cuts will be made and we can plug some of those into the team.

[Jason_]

a few names I'd at least like to see us take a look at:

Walter McFadden - CB

Levy Adcock - T

William Vlachos - C

Cliff Harris - CB

Tydreke Powell - DT

[Gavin]

I like the Adcock, Mcfadden and Cliff Harris idea, I dont know anything about the others

[FightLikeSin]

Walter McFadden - CB

Levy Adcock - T

William Vlachos - C

Cliff Harris - CB

Tydreke Powell - DT

Adcock and Harris for sure.

Just keep in mind any person that is picked up means that another player has to be cut and that the contract of anyone waived, would have to fit under the salary cap or the NFL won't sign off on the move.

I'm sure there are a few guy's on the roster that Grigs and Pagano wouldn't mind shipping off to pick up some better talent.

[ColtStrong]

The first round of cuts aren't going to be good players. If they were good, they wouldn't have gotten cut. You might find some serviceable players after teams finalize their rosters.

[Gavin]

I'd like to take a look at Gerard Warren

[HtownColt]

Gerard Warren from the Patriots NT 330lbs he is 34yrs old but just the vet minimum just a glue guy for 6 six weeks or whenever Chapman can contribute fully

Of course. In some cases, ti would be as easy as New Nose Tackle replaces Nose tackle 2, and in others a player might be a tweener at OLB/DE, so if he's picked up one from those two positions could vanish.

Patriots released at least 2-3 guys worth looking at today.

If Warren has been released, he is a free agent. He doesn't have to clear waivers, and is free to sign a new contract since his previous one with the Patriots would be void upon release.

[Voir Dire]

While I agree that it is unlikely to find a good player that is being waived, it wouldn't necessarily take a good player to be an upgrade at some of the thinner positions on our roster. Our starting RT is a guy we essentially picked up from Philly for a bag of peanuts. Even castoffs could be an upgrade for our team at some positions.

[FireJimCaldwell]

This thread could be merged with the current one titled Waiver Wire. So a lot of the information doesn't have to be re-posted.

[USAFHoosier]

I agree Warren can be a stop gap at NT this year.

[Colts12to87]

by when can we sighn some people ? if Grigson see some one he likes can they get him today or is tht not posible

[Warhorse]

Try KFFL.

[polians_pundit]

If arizona drops the deuce, should we pick it up. lol

[USAFHoosier]

Myron Rolle was released by the steelers. I remember him being pretty good at florida state. Has the size to play safety.

[HtownColt]

all focus for Grigson should be on OG when they hit the waiver wire. RG in particular because thats where the most pressure is coming from(from McGlynn to Olsen). It just has to be some better guards out there available in a couple of days

[needanoline63]

Why haven't we moved joe reitz to tackle yet?

[HtownColt]

Why haven't we moved joe reitz to tackle yet?

because he is doing great at LG. why move somebody when they're playing good where they are now

[HtownColt]

quick question? I have a link here and I just want some confirmation of is that Olsen or not.

http://bleacherrepor...season-showdown

Where it says Breaking down Luck's day on the picture under that is that Greg Olsen at guard getting drove like that causing Luck to show his pocket awareness and make a little dump pass to Wayne i believe? That's just unacceptable and he allowed 2 sacks in the same series

Agree with this need, but I really think Inside LB in a HUGE NEED, People are complaining about run defense this is the area of weekness IMO.

Looks like Reitz to me, I would have to know what play that was

[HtownColt]

thats not Reitz. You can see Reitz right in the middle of the picture sticking his man up

[Gavin]

Must be Olsen then since he was playin 1st string

[GoColtsGo5150]

We should cut Linkenbach and Olsen and replace them with Chris Keamoeatu and Ryan O'Callaghan , put Whalen on IR and pick up Lee Evans

[Mameluc]

I hope a RT, RG and NT

[smittywerb]

We don't need to touch the waivers unless they NT's, CB's, or OL's.

[BNS]

This was posted on Rotoworld a few minutes ago...I thought we had first dibs on players placed on waivers? I know it's complicated, hoping someone can shed some light on this. I'm not saying we should have claimed this player, just questioning why the Steelers got to claim him before us, unless we did something and I missed it.

Steelers claimed RB DuJuan Harris off waivers from the Jaguars.

A smallish scat back out of Troy, Harris spent the majority of last season on Jacksonville's practice squad before a late-season promotion. He's unlikely to make the Steelers' final roster with Chris Rainey and Baron Batch filling the same role.

I'm guessing we passed on him.

a team terminates the players contract, releasing him from his duties

Before the player becomes a free agent, he hits the Waiver Wire

When his name goes on the waiver wire, every team in the NFL has the option to pick up the players original contract (the one

the player originally signed with his now former team)

The Waiver Wire is like the NFL Draft in that teams with the worst records get first crack at the players who have been released

Once a team passes on the player then they cannot go back and claim him(in this case we obviously passed on him)

If no team signs the player, then he becomes an unrestrictd free agent.

[Marcio James]

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/2798/sean-jones

Released by Lions... good backup S

[BNS]

I'm guessing we passed on him.

Okay, I get it now. We get a chance to claim a guy first, but if we choose not to, then he moves on to the next team, etc. until someone claims him.

[haseo15]

I would love to see Cliff Harris CB picked up on waivers, if Pagano and Grigson can keep his head on straight, he has tons of potential they could help him see on our team.

That is 100% accurate in some cases. If a player has less than 4 years of service that is the process. If a player has 4 years or more of service then they when they are cut they are a free agent, up until the trading deadline(week 6), at that point everyone has to pass through the waiver wire.

After September 25th the waiver order is based on the 2012 standings as opposed to the 2012 draft order.

[needanoline63]

because he is doing great at LG. why move somebody when they're playing good where they are now

What do u mean great?!? He would be a much better tackle anyways

[Balzer40]

What do u mean great?!? He would be a much better tackle anyways

Yes, thats why our coaches that have yrs. and yrs. of experience evaluating players have decided to play him at guard. They probably just said, the heck with it, he's a better tackle, but were going to keep him at guard for the heck of it. In case you're having trouble deciphering that, that was called......sarcasm.
