I'm not sure these moves speak to anything in that regard I think this is a pretty overblown statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 A few guys released so far who would interest me... WR Equanimeous St Brown...formally of GB...great size and would add something different to our receiver core...was always a deep threat in GB and only 24 years old. WR Antonio Gandy-Golden...formally of WFT...again size receiver who is a home town kid and only 23 years old...could be a real fit here behind Robinson on the outside. CB Tony Brown...always really liked him at Bama...hasn't found his way in the NFL yet but he has upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is a top young corner...yes he can be injury prone but talent is obvious and you can predict injury... Byrd was highly productive in NE and Goodwin has flashed over his career... Your expectations of the bottom of any NFL roster is unrealistic if you think all your depth is going to be reliable week in week out.

Everybody needs to R-E-L-A-X. Well you know how it goes. When one of your favorite players gets cut and you're hoping he clears waivers so he can be signed to the PS everyone is looking to keep a grip on their jewels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Trinity Benson was picked up by the lions via trade last night apparently... He was a potential depth wr and kick returner. Was hoping he'd make waivers. Not surprisingly, neither Denzel Mims (jets) or Andy Isabella (cards) where cut despite some rumors they could be (both where relatively high draft picks, neither is currently top 5 on their team's wr depth charts)... They'd require a trade we frankly can't afford to make pick wise, and player to player trades are rare. OT Crosby (Detroit) is intriguing, but he's been out with a grade 1 hamstring injury for most of camp... And Detroit not only cut him, but is apparently going to also be in the waiver/fa market for OL, which doesn't look good for him. He's also the guy most likely to get waiver wire action just based on previous production. What about centers? Anyone recognize solid names available there? Mustipher getting blown off the ball constantly is worrisome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Last of the cuts are S - Marqui Christian DL - LaCale London (injured) CB - Tre Roberson (injured) S - Teez Tabor CB - Artie Burns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have to say as of now the CB situation is very ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your expectations of the bottom of any NFL roster is unrealistic if you think all your depth is going to be reliable week in week out. So Johnson isn't reliable. That's what I said. He is talented but his shoulder issues lingered at Utah and they showed in the NFL. Goodwin isn't good. He's fast. There's a difference. It's possible Byrd may surprise but when the Pats cut you, I don't have super high hopes. The #2 corner spot and the #3 WR spot aren't "bottom of the roster," dude. Those guys get a ton of time on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Karl Joseph - S was cut.... Haven't really followed his career post draft, but wasn't he really good coming out? What happened there =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 As far as I'm concerned, Johnson is the #2 corner (albeit a good one). He showed promise last year, but it's a big jump from what he was, to being a true #1 corner.... Like when we had Alshon Jeffery as our "#1 WR". The rest of them look like low quality #3s. OL is as big of an issue (arguably bigger if the goal for the year is helping Fields). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epyon Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Worth noting right now that we have 4 corners 5wr 5te Have to imagine that means we're grabbing at least one if not two corners in the next 48hrs... But the wr/te dynamic is also interesting.... I wonder if this indicates double te sets being a very significant part of our offense this year... Maybe even as part of a plan to help aid the OTs with more potential front line blocking /assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
