We let go of Leonard Henry, which I thought was a surprise. He had a great camp and performed pretty well. I guess just not well enough. He may be on our PS, but if you need RBs, he is a solid one.

We are begiining to see the salary cap come full circle. A few years back, it wasn't unheard of that big name players were dropping out of the trees because of salary considerations.

Because of this, the better compensated vets have either been released in June or they have accepted lower salaries to remain.

Thus, slim pickings on the FA front this time of year

We're carrying 4 Tailbacks as it is...to go along with the two fullbacks.

w26 I agree on Salava'e and Johnson. Only problem with adding those 2 is who do we release? Burns and Pucillo? Pucillo would probably last through waivers and we could put him on our practice squad I think.

I disagree with Cota though. Prioleau is good enough as a starter I think and Driver will contribute more on special teams than Cota would IMO.

Reggie McGrew is out there too. He's a former 1st round pick. DT who is 6'1" 312lbs. Not too old either.

Biekert signed with minny i think. Cota I would bring in to be a backup. As for who to release, I would say Farris, and Ahonutu. I would rather have a DT than DE.

McGrew is a horse. He's really slow too, but really strong.
