Nate Ulrich, ABJ writer was the first I saw to put out there that Keeping Orson Charles as a TE/FB/HB option is likely as opposed to keeping Danny Vitale...

He's by far one of the better actual reporters and writers on the Browns.... and ABJ has better Browns coverage/reporting/writing than the Plain Dealer...

5 Players that May Be Upgraded Over Via the Waiver Wire or Via Trade

1.) C Austin Reiter

2.) CB Denzel Rice

3.) LB Jermaine Grace

4.) RT Greg Robinson

5.) TE Orson Charles

It's disappointing that Brantley couldn't step up and secure a roster spot.

And we all knew Dayes wasn't going to make it just because of who was in front of him. But I doubt he's going to be jobless for very long. I think he'll be a very solid backup for whoever picks him up.

So, apparently... our new DT Devaroe Lawrence had a torn ACL issue before last season... and the knee was (see below):

"I had another procedure done, because I was bone-on-bone from the old procedure," Lawrence said. "It was a lot more time than I expected, but God put me in the right place."

He finally made it back and had a breakout preseason game...

Most Saints beat writers are calling the move great value b/c he wasn't going to make the team...

Seems to be a hard worker ... that has made it through a lot of life adversity...

25 year old rookie with knee issues and past off the field issues...

Didn't have a lot of sack or pass rush production in college...

He apparently flashed big time in preseason according to the reactions of some saints fans and media personnel online

Supposedly, we made 5 Claims today.

Have to believe we're going to try to sneak Jermaine Grace onto the PS along with Willies...

That gives us Two spots for the 53... and Cutting Austin Reiter... Gives Us 3...

I'm not sure where the other 2 come from.... I like Denzel Rice a lot, but I don't think he's PS Eligible anymore... so i wouldn't want to cut him.

Greg Robinson might be the 4th assuming we upgrade with another lineman...

I would hope they wouldn't risk cutting Jeremiah Mckinnon just b/c he's PS eligible.. that would be a risky move...

I cannot understand how we didn't make a waiver claim on a tackle... maybe we're going to get some people on the PS squad..

I remember following Odenigbo when he was an OSU recruit... loved his play then.. he had a big preseason...

Tanner Vallejo had an impressive sophomore season at Boise... and I loved Card Davis going into the draft, but thought he was more of a 34 scheme fit....

Anyone know anything about Aaron Neary or Tavierre Thomas??
