Cut players on the radar

[psubills62]

When cuts come rolling in, that is. I think it would be nice to have a running list of players who are intriguing, just to keep an eye on them.

Here's a few who haven't been released yet, but it's possible or likely:
C Justin Hartwig, Steelers
OG Kraig Urbik, Steelers
G/C Jason Spitz, Packers
WR Freddie Barnes, Bears (has been released)
WR Jason Hill, 49ers (has been released)
NT Chris Baker, Broncos (has been released)
TE Anthony Becht, Cardinals (has been released)


Note: I'm not saying that we should necessarily sign any of these guys. I'd just like a generally comprehensive list of who people think we should keep an eye on, in case they are cut. Our depth is weak enough at multiple spots that we could possibly use help from cut players, especially if they were released due to monetary reasons.

I would say no to anyone lineman released from the Steelers.

I would say no to anyone lineman released from the Steelers.

Even if he was to replace a lineman replaced by the Bills? We are shopping for starters, but a little depth.

Even for depth? Urbik has apparently disappointed, but Hartwig was their starter not too long ago. He would bring some good experience as a backup, especially against 3-4 NT's.

Re: Cut players on the radar

Broncos released OLB Jammie Kirlew, as well as two TE's: Nathan Overbay and Kory Sperry. Not sure why the latter name sounds familiar, but it does.

I liked him coming into the draft. Wouldn't mind getting him on the PS.

Barnes will already be on our ps, his name is Roosevelt.

I'm thinking CIN hangs on to Cosby, and cuts Matt Jones and former #2 Jerome Simpson.

All preseason, Jones was relegated to sideline routes. Some catches, some failures. They say he has speed, but I sure didn't see it. I recall 3 plays where he didn't grasp the idea of getting down of both feet inbounds can result in a reception.

Simpson is of course a money thing. He has multi-million dollar talent and a ten cent head. IIRC, he has but 1 regular season catch. He caught six of six in CIN's 5th ps game, against the game-long IND scrub squad (we know what IND does in the preseason).

He can jump over the moon, has hands the size of Wilt Chamberlain, and fly like a racehorse (he's a decent ST player). but doesn't have a clue where the 1st down marker is, or what running a pattern means.

They might hang onto Cosby, but I recently saw a report saying he could be cut. That's why I put him on the list - in case he does.

Barnes was far more productive than Roosevelt in college. As far as what he can bring to the table, probably similar things, but I like Barnes a little more than Roosevelt, personally, besides the feel-good story.

Barnes set NCAA records in receptions last season.. the guy caught 144 or so balls

Fair enough. If cut, BUF should give a good look at him. He's solidly within the category of players known as "gamers."
