BStanRamFan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 With 2 Pre-season games in the books, are there any vets or suprise cuts we can expect? Could be contract related or being out played by younger guys. As a Rams fan, I will be scouring the market for FA ILB's with Micah Kisers injury. If there could be any surprise cuts at that position, I'd be interest in hearing about them. Sorry if this thread was started previously, but I couldn't find it.

ET80 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Julie'n Davenport or Martinas Rankin - simply because they're cheap labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I think the most likely that would qualify in some peoples eyes would be 2018's leading rusher, Josh Adams. As well as G Stefan Wisniewski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 For once the Raiders do look like we have genuine competition for places, as a result we do have a number of players who could be considered 'surprise' cuts. A few of these guys could no doubt start for some teams and do a decent job: DT - at present we have Hurst, Hankins and Hall probably locked in which means that Justin Ellis, Ethan Westbrooks, Eddie Vanderdoes, Gabe Wright and Anthony Rush are all competing for one maybe two spots. Rush seems to have come from nowhere and is being talked up a lot. Ellis would be a surprise cut and could be a very decent starter. WR - depending upon AB we have Tyrell Williams, JJ Nelson, Hunter Renfrow who appeared to be locks at the start of camp but young guys Keelan Doss and Marcell Ateman making grabs and Gafford showing some zip, Ryan Grant could be the odd man out or even JJ Nelson. Dwayne Harris is the ST ace but even he could be on the bubble and a surprise cut. OT - last years 3rd round pick Brandon Parker has not covered himself in glory thus far and though he would have been considered to have some potential prior to camp he simply hasn't progressed enough to be safe just yet. CB - depth has been pleasing here but last years 4th round pick Nick Nelson has gotten routinely toasted so could definitely be on the hot seat and a potential surprise cut. Nevin Lawson hasn't really helped himself and he could be on that bubble too especially with Joyner playing a lot of slot CB. RB - Jacobs, Richard are pretty much set and that could mean a straight fight between Washington and Doug Martin, Washington has looked pretty good so far so Martin would be somewhat of a surprise cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I doubt that any of the Titans cuts would be big surprises, but Taywan Taylor and Austin Johnson are both possibilities. Draft picks that haven't done much, and there are UDFAs looking better than both that the team could prefer to keep over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeTheBallDeep Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Just abit ago Cowherd he had Peter Schrager on and he spoke about the Raiders possibly sending a "5 day letter" to AB. From my understanding if AB doesn't report to camp to practice within the 5 days of the letter being sent, the Raiders can place AB on the reserve list and he cant play for any team this season. Sounds like no team has ever used this before but its something to watch for Edited August 19, 2019 by TakeTheBallDeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he at one point looked at as a possible Joe Thomas replacement? Might be confusing him with another Brown's OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Not really a surprise for the Pats fanbase, especially given Gordon's reinstatement, but highly doubtful Demaryius Thomas makes the roster. Same with Dontrelle Inman (already cut), suffering from some surprisingly good UDFA picks and Gordon's situation. Also the Pats just cut Ryan Allen. So if anyone is looking for a punter....

Yeh, at the start of camp they would have been big surprises to be cut but with Hankins having a new lease of life, the emergence of Rush and with Washington looking useful they are definitely not safe. It's a risk IMO cutting a guy like Ellis who we know is very solid for an UDFA rookie in Rush but it could certainly happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
