I could be wrong, but I think it's the best way to maximize our roster talent and not cut talent for lesser talent depth at another positioin. ----------------------------------------------------------- Players still on the bubble: OL Zach Sterup, OL Spencer Drango, OL Marcus Martin, FS Kai Nacua, S Ibraheim Campbell, SS Calvin Pryor, CB Marcus Burley, CB Darius Hillary. --All those players still may be waived in order to upgrade the roster. I expect a lot of our UFA LBs to make the PS. Love that they kept the roster talent. Love that they kept Orchard at least for now. Only cut I didn't like was Jordan Leslie, but every year you have to gamble on a player making the practice squad...and it's a better gamble for a UFA than a drafted player given other teams' databases and analytics. I'd love to add Malachi Dupre to the PS and sign Alex Boone to the 53 and cut Zach Sterup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaklco Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I could still see us adding a CB or T to the active roster via waiver claim. I believe the deadline for waiver claims is tomorrow at 1p? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie man Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 First thing I thought was how your u were right saying 10 o line. Kudos to you for that. I thought Hall would make it until the Coates trade. I like keeping 5 safeties. I think a move for a receiver, tackle, and corner could all be possibilities. Hopefully we get another receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyDean Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 7 minutes ago, zaklco said: Only 11 players were on the team 3 years ago A coupe of factors in that, one, our roster was pathetic in terms of talent level. 2, our culture was completely toxic with Petine's play like a Brown motto that meant nothing. It required a near purge and reboot of the entire roster to get a new and more healthy culture. Honestly, off the top of my head, the only guys from a few years ago that I would have 2nd thoughts about are Haden, Mack, and Schwartz, and then Pryor from last year, but he also was not on the roster a few years ago really.

Aztec Hammer Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Youth movement is looking strong. Actual discernible talent on the roster for the first time in a while. If the QB position gets locked in, add a loaded 2018 draft and the team is in fantastic shape going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 We have improved the overall talent, but our roster is a long long way from yearly playoff competitive talent....Jimmy needs to give these guys 5 years of continuity; 5 years of mistakes/successes...

Aztec Hammer Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The good thing is we are theoretically almost operating at double speed compared to the rest of the league, with the volume of quality picks we are accumulating year after year.

Bucketheadsdad Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I didn't watch the Bears game. Is Johnson's injury significant enough that he might end up on the IR, instead of the inactive list until healthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackoutstout Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I would like to see Bug Howard get a look but he might just be a bigger Higgins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
