Log is such a good man :up:

[Jan Reimers]

I think we will keep 4 QBs, at least until Brown gets healthy. This puts a real squeeze at several positions, including TE, WR, RB, DE, and LB. It also helps 2 position guys like Gildon.

I think the guys sure to go include:

Trafford
Esposito
Haddad
Smith
Ritzmann
Zolman
Dixon
Haggan
Sape

The bubble guys include - pick six - McKenzie or Gildon (I like Gildon to stick);
Lawton or Burns ( Lawton to stick); Simonton or S. Williams (Williams to stick); McFarland or Sullivan or Pucillo (McFarland to stick - just my hope, I don't like the other two); Prioleau, just a numbers game.

I hate to say it...but our LS is gone. Ryan Neufeld is long snapping, so Jon Dorenbos is gone. :(

That would be good, actually. It would free up a roster spot for a real position player.

[Michael82]

Man, is this going to be a tough cut. We are going to lose a few good DL and maybe a diamond in the rough too. :mad:

I think they should sign Travis Brown to an injury settlement and keep just 3 QBs. i'm fine with Matthews and they can always bring Brown back in week 10. :up:

I totally agree. Guys like Shaud Williams and Luke Lawton look so good that it's a shame to take up 4 roster spots at QB. Matthews looks like a more than capable backup.

EXACTLY! Maybe Mularkey will realize this and keep Matthews as cut Brown. Then we could keep some diamond in the roughs. :up:

That's a good list, except for two things...

Izell Reese is the starting FS and will stay over Pierson Prioleau. Zolman and Brown might BOTH be cut. :pray:

Reese is our starting FS (at least for now), he's not gonna get cut. But other than that it's a great list! :up:

That would be good, actually. It would free up a roster spot for a real position player.

Long snapper is a real position just like center.

Remember Ethan Albright? He NEVER made a bad snap in all of game with Bills and after he was cut to save a few dollars there were a lot of bad snaps. FGs are sometimes the difference between winning and losing.

True but Albright actually could play o-line Dorenbos can't play any other position.

Plus, Dorenbos didn't even do the short snapping for fieldgoals. That was Teague.

[juice]

Baker played like a Rookie.

Yep.

Ok but Prioleau is still cut.

I might consider adding Travis Brown to this list if there were a way to reach an injury settlement with him now, with the agreement that he would be re-signed over the bye week, in order to keep Ritzmann and stash him on the practice squad later (my preference) or Sullivan--so that I could stash McFarland on the practice squad later--or Gildon (keeping Gildon would mean cutting or IR'ing someone else once Brown came back, but would offer a bit more flexibility on defense).

[Dozerdog]

Ritzman might make it to the Practice squad or might even sneak aboard. He seemed to be in on a few plays this offseason

[juice]

Ok but Prioleau is still cut.

Before the Milloy injury maybe, but I think Baker might be on the PS and PP kept on the active squad to add depth.

Nope...we'll keep 5 Safeties until Milloy comes back healthy...

[The Spaz]

I hope we keep Shaud Williams and Luke Lawton.:pray::beers:

Sam Aiken is staying on this team!

Dorenbos was only snapping for punts.

I like your list, but I would cut McKenzie and keep Gildon, who could double as our 4th DE and backup LB.
