Phire Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Quote When NFL team owners in May voted to eliminate the first of two traditional roster cut-down periods before the start of the regular season, they gave coaches an extra week or so to evaluate players who may or may not make their teams. Those players, in turn, were given extra time to prove their worthiness. But the NFL roster cut rule change also created what will be a chaotic — and in many cases, devastating — two-day stretch from Friday morning through Saturday afternoon. NFL teams have until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to trim their 90-man rosters down to 53 players. Each team will release up to 37 players, meaning more than 1,100 players around the NFL will lose their jobs. While 320 of those players will be signed to practice squads (10 practice squad players per team), about 800 will not. CBS Tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bednarik60 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 haha i wonder if they even went to bed after the game or if they just stayed up all night! A lot of work/discussion to get done in a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bednarik60 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Interested to see what happens to Pump and Gerry. Interested to see what happens to Clement. Also interested to see what happens to Taylor Hart. Pulling hard for Don Cherry to make it. I think he could end up developing into a respectable rotational linebacker. Pulling hard for Tre Sullivan to make it. Thoughts of a big hitter on this team, would make me so happy. Pulling hard for Qualls to make it to. Hes been nothing but a stud through camp and everything i read about his performance in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furti Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 how many waiver claims? last year it was Treggs vs Turner. Grugier-Hill for Hart. Brooks for CJ Smith. my prediction for now, and probably 1 or 2 waiver pickups. possibly one of the corners are replaced for ol help maybe? qb (2): Wentz, Foles rb (4): Blount, Smallwood, Sproles, Clement (Pumphrey to IR) wr (5): Jeffery, Smith, Agholor, Hollins, Johnson te (4): Ertz, Celek, Burton, Brown ol (9): Peters, Seumalo, Kelce, Brooks, Johnson, Wisniewski, Big V, Warmack, Gordon, de (5): Graham, Curry, Barnett, Long, Means (McCallister to IR) dt (4): Cox, Jernigan, Allen, Vaeao lb (6): Hicks, Bradham, Kendricks, Goode, Walker, Grugier-Hill (Gerry to IR) cb (6): Darby, Mills, Robinson, Douglas, CJ Smith, McDougle ss (5): Jenkins, McLeod, Graham, Maragos, Watkins st (3): Lovato, Jones, Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jroc04 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Funny, Mosher was pontificating on the radio. Apparently, from what he is getting from his colleagues is that there's going to be a ton of trades. Trash for trash type trades before these guys get all out released. I didn't see that coming but does make complete sense. And also, he thinks they could be trading Trey Burton because they apparently love Billy Brown. Had no idea there was going to be a shakeup. But they could certainly use some infusion. Celek is our blocking TE and this is certainly his last year. Burton is set for FA after this year. I didn't think Grugier-Hill was going to make it but I guess he's a lock. I don't think he even dressed last night. No way Cherry makes it. I hope Walker and Gerry make it. Gerry has been hurt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Neither Clement NOR Pumphrey should make this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlesthought Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I haven't seen Turner all preseason EDIT: I didn't see much of Billy Brown either...is he worth trading Burton? What would you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think Brown is a goner. We didn't see him at all in the preseason and I haven't heard of any injuries meaning he was a healthy scratch... in the preseason. Unless the team is keeping something under wraps this is a no brainer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, FWIW Spuds said before the game last night that Brown has a shot to make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
