[quote](Rotoworld) Eagles released FB Kyle Eckel.

Analysis: Eckel was behind both Dan Klecko, who got released, and starter Leonard Weaver. Eagles also waived CB Trae Williams, CB Jack Ikegwuonu, DE Bryan Smith, DE Josh Gaines, LB Tank Daniels, FS Reshard Langford, WR Danny Amendola, RB Lorenzo Booker, C Dallas Reynolds, G Paul Fanaika, G Mike Gibson, TE Rob Myers and FB Marcus Mailei. They released Klecko, LB Matt Wilhelm and [b]TE Matt Schobel.[/b][/quote]

[quote](Rotoworld) Eagles released TE Matt Schobel.

Analysis: It's a bad sign for Schobel considering how thin the Eagles are at tight end. The Eagles will almost certainly add another tight end to back up Brent Celek and Tony Curtis. Eagles also released TE Rob Myers, who's a practice squad candidate.[/quote]

smith isnt fast enough to be a CB in the NFL. he could be a safety but he would be a 2 year project there.

interesting players who were cut

qb Brian Brohm
lb Jamie Winborn
lb Marcus Freeman
cb Mike Mickens
te Leonard Pope
cb DeAngelo Smith
g Trevor Canfield
c A.Q. Shipley
[/quote]

brian brohm had a good preseason i have no clue why he got cut. i think he has nfl talent and i would love to cut jordan and make brohm our # 3.

marcus freeman i felt could be a good LB in the NFL if he doesnt get signed to his teams PS i would love to put him on ours to give him a look.

mickens will be a solid corner when he is healthy again.

pope sucks.

smith is too much of a project for us to take a chance on him.

i really like canfield but he is another 2 year project.

aq shipley would be nice but we have luigs and cook and i like those 2.

Thurman has been more right than wrong on the Bearcat players from last year. He's called it more times than not and I agree with his last post. He's right. But I'd like to add Mickens has more of a chip on his shoulder and so fits well on this team. It must be killing Mickens to be injured.

So, how bad is the knee? That's the only question I have if we choose to pick up Mickens.

[size="5"][b]75 to 53 Players: The Transactions Blog[/b] [/size]
[b]By Adam Caplan[/b]Senior NFL Reporter
Posted Sep 6, 2009


[b]Last Update-12:09 AM ET on Sunday. No real big surprises for the final cut-down. It was more about who stayed, but some trades went down. Check out the detailed analysis with every transaction from 75 to 53 players, inside...


[/b]
[b]Arizona Cardinals[/b] - Waived OT Elliot Vallejo from IR with injury settlement, waived OT Brandon Pearce, placed WR Michael Ray Garvin on IR, placed LB Pago Togafau on IR, released S Keith Lewis, placed OLB Cody Brown on IR, waived LB Chase Bullock, waived G Trevor Canfield, waived FB Tim Castille, waived CB Jameel Dowling, waived DT Keilen Dykes, waived DE Alex Fontenot, waived DE Alex Field, released C Melvin Fowler, released S Aaron Francisco, waived WR Ed Gant, released LB Victor Hobson, waived LB David Holloway, waived WR Onrea Jones, waived DT Rodney Leisle, waived FB Reagan Maui'a, waived G Carlton Medder, waived QB Tyler Palko, waived TE Leonard Pope, released OT Oliver Ross, waived RB Chris Vincent, waived WR Steve Sanders, waived CB Wilrey Fontenot with injury settlement, placed TE Ben Patrick on Reserve/Suspended list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: The Cardinals reached the 53-man roster limit on Friday, but made a few minor adjustments on Saturday. Lewis is a solid special teams player, so he should find work soon. Canfield should wind up on their practice squad. Francisco should find interest because of his special teams play. Hobson is a solid backup who should find work soon. Ross also should be able to find work soon. Patrick won't count on the active roster until his four-game suspension is over. They are keeping Four RBs.


[b]Atlanta Falcons[/b] - Waived DE Willie Evans, released TE Ben Hartsock, released S/CB Von Hutchins, waived DT Tywain Myles, waived LS Robert Shiver, released DT Jason Jefferson, waived WR Troy Bergeron, waived RB Thomas Brown with injury settlement, waived OL Michael Butterworth, released WR Robert Ferguson, waived LB Robert James, waived WR Aaron Kelly, waived DE Maurice Lucas, waived CB William Middleton, waived WR Chandler Williams with injury settlement, waived TE Jason Rader, waived QB D.J. Shockley, waived G Jose Valdez, waived DT Vance Walker, released LB Jamie Winborn.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Hartsock found a job a few days after getting released. Because of Hutchins' versatility, he should find a job relatively soon. Same with Winborn. Middleton's a practice squad candidate. John Parker Wilson wins #3 QB job.


[b]Baltimore Ravens[/b] - Released QB Cleo Lemon, waive WR Biren Ealy, waived WR Bradon Godfrey, waived QB Drew Willy, placed CB Samari Rolle on the Reserve/PUP list, waived KR/WR Yamon Figurs, traded CB Derrick Martin to the Green Bay Packers for OT Tony Moll, waived WRs Jayson Foster and Justin Harper, waived G Bryan Mattison, released CB Evan Oglesby, waived OTs Joe Reitz and Stefan Rodgers, waived TE Isaac Smolko, waived G Tre Stallings, waived WR Ernie Wheelwright, waived DT Nader Abdallah, waived FB Jason Cook, waived TE Davon Drew, waived LB Tony Fein, waived C Robby Felix, waived K Graham Cano, waived S K.J. Gerard, waived RB Cedric Peerman, waived WR Eron Riley, waived OLB William VanDeSteeg, waived with injury settlement DT Will Johnson, placed ILB Jason Phillips on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Because of the lack of available quarterbacks in free agency, Lemon could find work soon. Moll is a decent backup RT. Harper makes sense for the practice squad based on some upside. Cook, if he's not claimed, should go on the practice squad. Drew also makes sense for practice squad, same with Peerman.


[b]Buffalo Bills[/b] - Released LB Pat Thomas, waived OT Chris Denman, waived LB Solomon Elimimian, waived WR Shaine Smith, waived TE Travis McCall from IR with an injury settlement, placed WR Lydell Sargeant on IR, placed DE Marcus Smith on IR, signed TE Tyson DeVree, traded S Ko Simpson to the Detroit Lions for an undisclosed 2010 draft choice, released RB Dominic Rhodes, waived QB Matt Baker, waived LB Alvin Bowen, waived DE Copeland Bryan, waived TE Tyson DeVree waived DE Ataefiok Etukeren, waived OL Christian Gaddis, waived RB Bruce Hll, waived CB Cary Harris, waived WR C.J, Hawthorne, waived OL Nick Hennessey, waived WR Felton Huggins, released OT Kirk Chambers, waived DTs Derrick Jones and Corey Mace, waived LB Ryan Manalac, waived TE Jonathan Stupar, waived/injured OL Brandon Rodd, LB John DiGiorgio waived/failed physical, WR James Hardy placed on Reserve/Physically Unable to perform, placed RB Marshawn Lynch on Reserve/Suspended list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Rhodes shouldn't have trouble finding work considering how weak the RBs are that remain in free agency. Harris should make it to the practice squad if he's not claimed. Lynch will miss the first three games.


[b]Carolina Panthers[/b] - Waived DT Lonnie Harvey, waived OT Gerald Cadogan, waived WR Ryne Robinson, waived DT Lorenzo Williams, placed S Nate Salley on IR, placed G C.J. Davis on IR, waived WR Larry Beavers, waived/injured RB DeCori Birmingham, waived DE Casper Brinkley, waived OT Patrick Brown, waived QB Hunter Cantwell, waived WR Jason Chery, waived S Paul Chiara, waived CB D.J. Clark, waived TE Andrew Davie, waived DT Marlon Favorite, waived S Joe Fields, waived C Keith Gray, waived LB Anthony Heygood, waived DT George Hypolite, waived LB Mortty Ivy, waived RB Jamall Lee, waived LB Jeremy Leman, waived WR Kevin McMahan, waived WR Marcus Monk, waived OT Jonathan Palmer, waived LB Kelvin Smith, released S Kevin Kaesviharn, released C Justin Geisinger.
[i]
Analysis[/i]: Robinson made it through waivers unclaimed. What a drop-off Cantwell has gone through since January. Chery makes sense for the practice squad based on upside.


[b]Chicago Bears[/b] - Placed DT Dusty Dvoracek on IR, waived WR John Broussard, waived WR Derek Kinder, waived P Richmond McGhee, waived DE J.J. Milan, signed CB Rod Hood, waived G Johan Asiata, waived DE Ervin Baldwin, waived OT Cody Balogh, waived QB Brett Basanez, waived CB Rudy Burgess, waived DE Joe Clermond, waived FB Jason Davis, waived LB Marcus Freeman, waived CB Marcus Hamilton, waived LB Kevin Malast, waived WR Eric Peterman, waivd C Donvan Raiola, waived WR Brandon Rideau, waived LB Mike Rivera, waived FB Will Ta'ufo'ou, waived CB Woodny Turenne, placed S Dahna Deleston on IR, placed RB Kevin Jones on IR, placed DE Henry Melton on IR, released G Dan Buenning, released CB Rod Hood, released LB Darrell McClover, removed CB Charles Tillman from PUP list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Dvoracek's career is in serious doubt after having another ACL injury. Hood's stay was only a few days. They have to find a back with size to back up starting RB Matt Forte.


[b]Cincinnati Bengals[/b] - Waived WR Greg Orton, Waived DT Pernell Phillips, placed TE Ben Utecht on IR, placed WR Antonio Chatman on IR, released OLB Darryl Blackstock, released LB Jim Maxwell, released DT Langston Moore, waived S Marvin White, waived G Andrew Crummey with injury settlement, waived S Corey Lynch, waived G/DT Jason Shirley, waived DE Chris Harrington, waived RB James Johnson, waived TE Kolomona Kapanui, waived WR Freddie Brown, waived TE Darius Hill, waived DTs Ventrell Jenkins and Clinton McDonald, waived CB Rico Murray, waived OT Gus Parrish, waived FB Chris Pressley, waived LB Dan Skuta, waived K Sam Swank, waived FB Fui Vakapuna.

[i]Analysis[/i]: That's two injury plagued seasons for Utecht. No surprises at all. Blackstock will garner some interest because of his pass rush skills. White should find some interest as a backup. First-round pick OT Andre Smith (foot) remains on a roster exemption and isn't counting against their 53-man roster. The exemption expires on 9/14. TE Matt Sherry (shoulder) will go on IR on Tuesday. Look for one of the two rookie FBs to land on their practice squad.


[b]Cleveland Browns[/b] - Waived G Marlon Davis, placed OT/G Ryan Tucker on IR, placed G Fred Weary on IR, released TE Nate Jackson, released LB Robert McCune, signed OT Branndon Braxton, waived CB Tra Battle, waived DE Melila Purcell from IR with an injury settlement, waived FB Charles Ali, waived S Brandon Anderson, waived QB Richard Bartel, waived ILB Beau Bell, waived Branndon Braxton, waived LB Titus Brown, waived OL Dustin Fry, waived DL Adam Hoppel, waived WR Paul Hubbard, waived RB Chris Jennings, waived WR Lance Leggett, waived OL Pat Murray, waived WR Jordan Norwood, waived OL Kurt Quarterman, waived DL Brian Schaefering, waived OL Isaac Sowell, waived DL Santonio Thomas, released S Hamza Abdullah, released RB Noah Herron, released CB Corey Ivy, released WR David Patten, released TE Aaron Walker.

[i]Analysis[/i]: McCune served in the armed forces, so he started his football career later than most others. Bell, according to a league source, carries a partially guaranteed base salary so he may not get claimed. Ivy is a decent nickel or dime CB so he may find interest. Patten is almost at the end of a very nice career.


[b]Dallas Cowboys[/b] - Waived WR Travis Wilson off of IR with injury settlement, waived WR Julian Hawkins, waived G Greg Isdaner, claimed DE Curtis Johnson off of waivers from Indianapolis, waived OT Andre Douglas, signed CB Jeremy Haynes, claimed CB DeAngelo Willingham off waivers from Tampa Bay, waived G Travis Bright, waived S Courtney Brown, waived QB Rudy Carpenter, waived FB Julius Crosslin, waived DE Marcus Dixon, waived LB Tearrius George, waived G Ryan Gibbons, waived CB Jeremy Haynes, waived WR Jesse Holley, waived WRs Mike Jefferson, Mike Jefferson, and Manuel Johnson, waived/injured FB Keon Lattimore, waived CB Mike Mickens, waived WR Willie Reid, waived DE Derreck Robinson, waived FB Asaph Schwapp, waived DT Jonas Seawright, waived S DeAngelo Smith, waived WR Isaiah Stanbach, released LB Matt Stewart, waived CB DeAngelo Willingham, placed LB Stephen Hodge on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Wilson is a former third-round pick of the Browns who never made any impact. Carpenter should land on Dallas' practice squad, same with Mickens.


[b]Denver Broncos[/b] - Waived P Britton Colquitt, waived WR C.J. Jones, waived C Blake Schlueter, released TE Jeb Putzier, waived DT Matthias Askew, waived G Kory Lichtensteiger, waived QB Ingle Martin, waived CB Rashod Moulton, waived OT Clint Oldenburg, waived DE Carlton Powell, waived LB Lee Robinson, waived WR Nate Swift, waived RB Marcus Thomas, placed G Matt McChesney on IR, waived TE Marquez Branson, waived CB Tony Carter, waived DL Nic Clemons, waived DE/OLB Tim Crowder, waived G Mitch Erickson, released S Vernon Fox, waived CB D.J. Johnson, waived ILB Braxton Kelley, waived DL Everette Pedescleaux, waived DB Antwain Spann, waived RB Darius Walker, waived WR Matt Willis, signed DL Vonnie Holliday, waived/injured CB Josh Bell.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Holliday can give them an inside and outside pass rusher. They kept Jarvis Moss over Crowder.


[b]Detroit Lions [/b]- Claimed CB Cletis Gordon off of waivers from the Texans, waived WR Eric Fowler, released CB Keith Smith, waived WR Glenn Holt, released CB Dexter Wynn with injury waiver, signed QB Brooks Bollinger, claimed QB Kevin O'Connell off of waivers from New England, released G Terrence Metcalf, waived WR D.J. Boldin, waived LB Rob Francois, waived CB LaMarcus Hicks, waived DE Ryan Kees, acquired S Ko Simpson for an undisclosed 2010 draft choice, waived DE Orion Martin, released DT Chuck Darby, waived OT Lydon Murtha, placed CB Chris Roberson on IR, released DT Shaun Smith, waived LB Rufus Alexander, released QB Brooks Bollinger, released G Milford Brown, waived TE Carson Butler, released RB Aveion Cason, released WR Keary Colbert, waived DE Sean Conover, released K Billy Cundiff, waived RB Tristan Davis, waived LB Zack Follett, waived C Dan Gerberry, waived TE Dan Gronkowski, released WR Dane Looker, released S Calvin Lowry, waived CB Ramzee Robinson, released S Stuart Schweigert, waived LB Spenser Smith, waived WR John Standeford.

[i]Analysis[/i]: The Lions are using the heck out of their top spot on the waiver wire these days. Darby should easily find work soon based on the lack of decent talent available at defensive tackle. Murtha should land on Detroit's practice squad if he's not claimed by another team first. Brown can play G or T so he should find some interest around the league. There's a dearth of available kickers, so Cundiff may find some interest soon.


[b]Green Bay Packers [/b]- Waived P Durant Brooks, waived WR JaRon Harris, waived DE Stryker Sulak, traded OT Tony Moll to Baltimore Ravens for CB Derrick Martin, waived QB Brian Brohm, waived WR Jake Allen, waived CB Trevor Ford, waived OL Andrew Hartline, waived WR Kole Heckendorf, waived LB Danny Lansanah, waived RB Kregg Lumpkin, waived DE Alfred Malone, waived WR Ruvell Martin, waived OT Jamon Meredith, waived DT Dean Muhtadi, waived OLB Cyril Obiozor, waived CB Joe Porter, waived OT Dane Randolph, released S Anthony Smith, waived RB Tyrell Sutton, waived DE Ronald Talley, waived DT Anthony Toribio, placed DL Justin Harrell on IR, placed CB Patrick Lee on IR, placed TE Evan Moore on IR, placed S Charlie Peprah on IR, waived/injured WR Evan Moore.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Sulak is the sixth-round pick of the Raiders who was cut before camps opened. Yeah, that made a lot sense. Interesting that the Packers showed strong interest in Joe Flacco before the 2008 draft. Amazing how things have turned out for both players. Have to think the Packers will sign or trade for a veteran QB soon. Matt Flynn is not going to be ready to start if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt. Flynn is really a No. 3 quarterback. Look for Obiozor to land on their practice squad if he makes it through waivers. He has some upside. Same with Sutton and Lumpkin.


[b]Houston Texans[/b] - Waived WR Michael Jones, waived CB David Pittman, waived OT Jason Watkins, released OLB Cato June from IR with an injury settlement, waived QB Alex Brink, released LB Khary Campbell, waived LB Buster Davis, waived FB Jonathan Evans, waived RB Arian Foster, waived TE Clark Harris, waived S Brandon Harrison, waived C Brett Helms, waived DE Tim Jamison, waived WR Darnell Jenkins, released G Adrian Jones, waived DT Josh Leonard, waived DE Jesse Nading, released CB Deltha O'Neal, waived CB Mark Parson, waived Matterral Richardson, waived WR Mark Simmons, waived OT Adam Stenavich, waived OT Brandon Torrey, waived OT Cliff Washburn, waived/injured CB A.J. Davis, waived/injured LB Toddrick Verdell.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Foster will land on the practice squad if he's not claimed by another team. Jones should find backup work somewhere else, same with Campbell.


[b]Indianapolis Colts[/b] - Waived S Marcus Paschal, removed K Adam Vinatieri off of PUP list, waived DE Curtis Johnson, waived TE Colin Cloherty, waived CB Michael Coe from IR with an injury settlement, placed DE Rudolph Hardie on IR, waived CB Dante Hughes, waived/injured CB Nick Graham, waived RB Lance Ball, waived WR Sam Giguere, waived DT John Gill, waived DT Adrian Grady, waived RB Mike Hart, waived DE Marcus Howard, waived C Steve Justice, waived WRs John Matthews and Brett McDermott, waived RB Walter Mendenhall, waived G Tom Pestock, waived WR Taj Smith, waived LB Michael Tauiliili, waived DT Terrance Taylor, waived OT Jaimie Thomas, waived/injured S Travis Key, waived/injured TE Jamie Petrowski, released DE Josh Thomas, waived OT Michael Toudouze, placed DT Ed Johnson on Reserve/Suspended list, removed S Bob Sanders from PUP list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: K Shane Andrus remains on the roster for now. Sanders isn't expected to be ready for at least a few more weeks. Grady is a lock for the practice squad if he makes it through waivers unclaimed. He had a really good preseason.


[b]Jacksonville Jaguars[/b] - Waived WR Clarence Denmark, waived WR Maurice Dupree, waived DT Jervonte Jackson, waived TE Tyler Lorenzen, waived QB Paul Smith, placed CB Don Carey on IR, waived LB Lamar Myles, signed QB Todd Boeckman, released OT Tony Pashos, released TE Richard Angulo, released S Marlon McCree, released RB Alvin Pearman, waived LB Tim Shaw, waived RB Chauncey Washington, waived P Steve Weatherford, released CB Brian Williams, waived LB Thomas Williams, released LS Joe Zelenka, waived QB Todd Boeckman, waived FB Brock Bolen, waived S Michael Desormeaux, waived CB Pete Ittersagen, waived DE Jeremy Navarre, waived C Cecil Newton, waived WR Todd Peterson, waived G Cameron Stephenson, waived RB Josh Vaughan, waived LB Johnny Williams, placed DT Rob Meier on IR, acquired QB Luke McCown from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an undisclosed 2010 draft pick.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Nothing like getting an extra sixth-round player (Casey) for a waiver claim. Rashad Jennings beat out Washington for the #2 RB job.


[b]Kansas City Chiefs[/b] - Waived OT Cameron Goldberg, released WR Amani Toomer, released DL Alfonso Boone, placed WR Devard Darling on IR, placed RB Kolby Smith on Reserve/PUP list, waived FB Jed Collins, waived CB Londen Fryar, released C Eric Ghiaciuc, released OT Damion McIntosh, waived LB Corey Smith, waived OT Herb Taylor, waived G Tavares Washington, released CB Travis Daniels, waived CB Jackie Bates, waived DE Dion Gales, waived DE Bobby Greenwood, waived DE Bobby Greenwood, waived G Bobby Greenwood, waived WR Taurus Johnson, released WR Ashley Lelie, waived/injured DT Derek Lokey, released S Bernard Pollard, waived S Ricky Price, released MLB/ILB Zach Thomas, waived RB Javarris Williams, waived WR Rodney Wright, placed G Colin Brown on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Toomer may be at the end of the line. Boone should find interest because he can play in either the 3-4 or 4-3. McIntosh should be able to find a backup job. UDFA LBs Pierre Walters and Jovan Belcher have made the 53-man roster. Lelie can still run, but doesn't offer much else. The couldn't get anything for Pollard, so he was released. However, look for him to find a job by week two if not before then.


[b]Miami Dolphins[/b] - Waived K Connor Barth, waived WR Anthony Armstrong, waived DT Louis Ellis, waived TE Joe Kowalewski from IR with an injury settlement, waived S Courtney Bryan, waived OT Brandon Frye, waived LB William Kershaw, waived WR Brandon London, waived CB Joey Thomas, waived DE Roderique Wright, and placed OLB Matt Roth on Reserve/Non-Football Injury List, waived: DE Ryan Baker, waived CB Will Billingsley, waived LB J.D. Folsom, waived OT Nate Garner, waived OL Mark Lewis, waived WR James Robinson.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Really no surprises here other than London. He's not practice squad eligible, according to a league source. Rookie TE John Nalbone was told he was going to be waived, but the team decided against it. So Miami is carrying four TEs for now.


[b]Minnesota Vikings [/b]- Waived K Taylor Mehlhaff, waived CB Derrick Roberson, waived RB Antone Smith, waived G Nick Urban, waived TE/FB Garrett Mills, waived S Colt Anderson, waived QB John David Booty, released FB Nehemiah Broughton, waived DE Martail Bennett, waived OT Chris Clark, waived G Brian Daniels, waived OL Juan Garcia, released DE Otis Grigsby, waived S De'von Hall, waived LB David Herron, waived DT Antoine Holmes, waived RB Ian Johnson, waived DT Tremaine Johnson, waived G Andy Kemp, waived CB Marcus McCauley, waived TE Jake Nordin, waived WR Nick Moore, waived WR Vinny Perretta, waived OT Drew Radovich, waived CB Marcus Walker, waived WR Bobby Williams.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Mills could find interest from the Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, and a few other teams. McCauley isn't practice squad eligible, but other teams had a high grade on him coming into the draft, so he should find decent interest. As expected, Albert Young won the #3 RB job. Booty is really only going to fit in systems with a short passing game.


[b]New England Patriots [/b]- Waived QB Kevin O'Connell, released LS Nate Hodel, placed ILB Tedy Bruschi on Reserve/Retired list, placed OT Mark LeVoir on Reserve/PUP list, placed LB Tyrone McKenzie on IR, placed WR Brandon Tate on Reserve/Non-Football Injury list, released QB Andrew Walter, released LB Vinny Ciurciu, released G Billy Yates, waived WR Robert Ortiz, waived S Roderick Rogers, waived DT Steve Williams, released S Ray Ventrone, traded TE David Thomas to New Orleans Saints for 2011 seventh-round pick, acquired TE Michael Matthews for a conditional draft pick, waived DL Titus Adams, released OT Wesley Britt, released S Herana-Daze Jones, released MLB/ILB Paris Lenon, waived DB Jamar Love, waived WR Terrence Nunn, waived OT Ryan O'Callaghan, waived DL Darryl Richard, released TE Alex Smith, placed OL George Bussey on IR, placed OLB Shawn Crable on IR, placed RB Chris Taylor on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: When the Patriots give up on a third-round pick after the first year, that should tell you something. UDFA QB Brian Hoyer was a big reason why O'Connell was waived. Hoyer is their No. 2 QB for now. Ben Watson sticks on the roster. Ventrone, according to a league source, is a vested veteran, so he's not subject to waivers. Lenon should find interest for teams needing a backup ILB/MLB. Smith should find interest from teams looking for a No. 2 TE.


[b]New Orleans Saints [/b]- Waived CB Greg Fassitt, placed WR D'Juan Woods on IR, released DT Rod Coleman, acquired TE David Thomas from New England Patriots for a 2011 seventh-round pick, placed TE Billy Miller on IR, placed FB FB Olaniyi Sobomehin on IR, placed S Chip Vaughn on IR, waived WR Adrian Arrington, waived G Nate Bennett, waived OT Michael Brown, waived C Digger Bujnoch, waived RB Herb Donaldson, waived G Tim Duckworth, waived CB Danny Gorrer, waived WR Skyler Green, waived DT Earl Heyman, waived RB P.J, Hill, waived TE Martrez Milner, waived OT Jermey Parnell, waived DT DeMario Pressley, waived WR Courtney Roby, waived WR Matt Simon, waived LB Anthony Waters, released OL Anthony Davis, released QB Joey Harrington, released DE Paul Spicer, placed K Garrett Hartley on Reserve/Suspended list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Coleman didn't play last season and the 33-year old defensive lineman may be done considering his defensive line coach from his days with the Falcons, Bill Johnson, is coaching with the Saints. Great trade for the Saints getting Thomas for next to nothing. If healthy, he should contribute this season. Tony Hargrove surprisingly beats out Spicer.


[b]New York Giants[/b] - Waived TE Lee Vickers, signed OT Terrance Pennington, placed OT Andrew Carnahan on IR, waived WR Taye Biddle, placed RB Andre Brown on IR, waived CB Stoney Woodson from IR with an injury settlement, removed LB Michael Boley from Active/PUP list, released WR David Tyree, placed DT Jay Alford on IR, traded TE Michael Matthews to the New England Patriots for a conditional draft pick, waived/injured DT Jeremy Clark, [size="3"]waived: QBs Andre Woodson and Rhett Bomar, RB[/size][font="Times New Roman"][size="3"] Allen Patrick, FB Dwayne Wright, OLs Terrence Pennington, Orrin Thompson, and Cliff Louis, WR Shaun Bodiford, DLs Maurice Evans, Tommie Hill, Robert Henderson, and Anthony Bryant, LB Kenny Ingram, CB DeAndre Wright, and Ss Travonti Johsnon, Vince Anderson, and Sha'reff Rashad, placed WLB Michael Boley on Reserve/Suspended list.

[/size][/font][i]Analysis[/i]: No real surprises at all here. Bomar is a marginal player and his Senior Bowl week performance was a microcosm of his last eight months. Strong arm, but accuracy is a a major issue. Still, he should wind up on their practice squad if he doesn't get claimed.


[b]New York Jets[i] [/i][/b]- Waived P Glenn Pakulak, waived RB Craig Kobel, waived S Nate Ness, waived QB Chris Pizzotti, waived WR Huey Whittaker, waived LB Josh Mauga, waived P Ken Parrish, signed TE Ben Hartsock, WR Aundrae Allison placed on IR, Waived: CB Rashad Barksdale, TEs Kevin Brock and Kareem Brown, RB Jehuu Caulcrick, FB Brock Christopher, S Emanuel Cook, LB Kenwin Cummings, OL Stanley Daniels, WR Britt Davis, K Parker Douglass, WR Marcus Henry, RB Anthony Kimble, DL Matt Kroul, OT Nevin McCaskill, OT Ryan McKee, C Michael Parenton, DE Zach Potter, TE Jack Simmons, DL Ty Steinkuhler, place DE Shaun Ellis and OLB Calvin Pace on Reserve/Suspended list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Hartsock will take over the No. 2 TE role with the Jets. No real surprises at all here.


[b]Oakland Raiders[/b] - Waived WR Shawn Bayes, waived DT Joe Cohen, waived WR Will Franklin, waived G Jonathan Compas, released G/OT Marcus Johnson, waived: S Jerome Boyd, DB Darrick Brown, DE Greyson Gunheim, WR Jonathan Holland, OL James Marten, LB David Nixon, LB Slade Norris, LB Chris O'Neill, FB Marcel Reece, RB Gary Russell, P/K Ricky Schmitt, TE Darrell Strong, OL Mark Wilson, released: DT Ryan Boschetti, QB Jeff Garcia, OLB Morlon Greenwood, CB Justin Miller, DT Terdell Sands, OT Seth Wand, CB Michael Hawkins waived/injured, C John Wade placed on IR, S Rashad Baker placed on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: You know it's bad when Garcia gets cut and his young clone Bruce Gradkowski makes their roster. And Charlie Frye also made it. Miller, because of his kick return ability, could find some interest. Greenwood is a decent backup at this point of his career. He signed too late to make any kind of impact. Sands, if motivated, can help a team.


[b]Philadelphia Eagles[/b] - Waived OT Chris Patrick, waived S Brandon Harrison, waived LB Charleston Hughes with injury settlement, placed LB Stewart Bradley on IR, placed TE Cornelius Ingram on IR, released DE Jason Babin but re-signed DE Jason Babin to a new deal, waived DE/TE Eugene Bright, waived DT Willie Williams, waived LB Curtis Gatewood with injury waiver, released LB Matt Wilhelm, waived WR Danny Amendola, waived RB Lorenzo Booker, waived LB Tank Daniels, waived FB Kyle Eckel, waived G Paul Fanaika, waived DE Josh Gaines, waived G Mike Gibson, waived CB Jack Ikegwuonu, released DT Dan Klecko, waived S Reshard Langford, waived FB Marcus Mailei, waived TE Rob Myers, waived G Dallas Reynolds, released TE Matt Schobel, waived DE Bryan Smith, waived CB Trae Williams, placed OT Fenuki Tupou on IR, placed QB Michael Vick on exempt list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Too bad Ingram got hurt as the coaches had big plans for him. That's two ACL injuries to the same knee. With Babin coming back, the team tried to trade DE Bryan Smith, but had no takers, so he was waived. Booker was a major disappointment to say the least. He tries to run outside too much. Eldra Buckley, as expected beat out Booker. Vick can't practice until week three unless they activate him from the exempt list before then. It's obvious they don't think he will be a quarterback, more of a hybrid player. QB A.J. Feeley on the roster for now. His base salary will be guaranteed I believe starting on Wednesday at 4:00 PM ET (official start for week one). Look for Myers to go to the practice squad unless he's claimed before that. Eagles carrying just two TEs at the moment. Wilhelm being cut was a bit surprising. Eagles have been looking for MLB help for weeks. Eagles are keeping Reggie Brown and a whopping seven WRs for now. No one was willing to take his contract, that's why he's staying. Danny Amendola could wind up on their practice squad again if he's not claimed. Dallas may have interest in him.


[b]Pittsburgh Steelers [/b]- Waived WR Steven Black, waived WR Martin Nance, waived S Derrick Richardson, released C Alex Stepanovich, placed G Darnell Stapleton on IR, waived OLB Bruce Davis, waived CB Anthony Madison, waived QB Mike Reilly, released FB Carey Davis, waived RBs Isaac Redman and Justin Vincent, waived/injured WR Dallas Baker, waived WR Brandon Williams, waived WR Tyler Grisham, waived TE Dezmond Sherrod, waived OL Jason Capizzi, released OL Jeremy Parquet, waived C A.Q. Shipley, waived DLs Sonny Harris, Steve McClendon, and Scott Paxson, waived LBs Tom Korte, Andy Schantz, and Donovan Woods, waived S Roy Lewis, waived K Piotr Czech, placed FB/TE Sean McHugh on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Madison is an excellent special teams player so he should find a new home soon. Reilly has good developmental value and could be claimed off waivers. Rookie Frank Summers wins FB job.


[b]San Diego Chargers[/b] - Waived LB Anthony Felder, waived WRs Rodgeriqus Smith and Greg Carr, waived OT Dan Gay, placed WR Demetrius Byrd on Reserve/Non-Football Injury List, placed S Brandon Hughes on IR, placed DE Ryon Bingham on IR, waived LB Eric Bakhtiari, waived WR Gary Banks, waived LB Darry Beckwith, waived CB Simeon Castille, waived OT Corey Clark, waived DE Andre Coleman, waived TE Charles Davis, waived G Ray Feinga, released G Kynan Forney, waived DE Keith Grennan, waived LB James Holt, released DT Rashaad Jackson, waived FB Billy Latsko, waived WR Charly Martin, waived C Ryan McDonald, waived RB Kestahn Moore, released DT Ian Scott with injury waiver, waived OT L.J. Shelton, waived CB Antonio Smith, waived P Truman Spencer, waived TE Kory Sperry.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Craig" Buster" Davis remains on the team, so they are technically keeping six WRs. Shelton and especially Forney will find work soon from teams looking for OL depth. Rookie G Louis Vasquez beats out Forney.


[b]San Francisco 49ers [/b]- Released QB Damon Huard, waived WR Mark Bradford, waived WR Chris Francies, waived K Alex Romero, waived CB Carlos Thomas, waived CB Jahi Word-Daniels, waived OTs Jake Bender and Alex Boone, waived WR Dobson Collins, waived TE Joe Jon Finley, waived G Kyle Howard, released CB Eric Green, waived G Kyle Howard, waived CB Terrail Lambert, waived FB Brit Miller, waived DT Khalif Mitchell, waived OLB Jay Moore, waived TE Bear Pascoe, waived FB Bill Rentmeester, waived LB Justin Roland, waived RB Kory Sheets, waived OL Matt Spanos, waived OT Joe Toledo, waived LB Mark Washington, waived WR Dominique Zeigler,

[i]Analysis[/i]: Have to think Huard finds a new home soon. Huard should find interest around the league. Green is basically a dime CB at this point. Sheets is almost a lock to get claimed on Sunday if the 49ers don't sign him to their practice squad. The Eagles had interest in him before the draft. Pascoe should head to the 49er practice squad.


[b]Seattle Seahawks[/b] - Waived WR Michael Bumpus, placed C Cory Withrow on IR, waived DT Kevin Brown, waived FB Dan Curran, waived LB Shane Simmons, waived TE John Tereshinski, signed S Nate Ness, waived: S Jamar Adams, DE Baraka Atkins, K Brandon Coutu, G Brian De La Puente, CB Marquis Floyd, OT Na'Shan Goddard, S Courtney Greene, WR Mike Hass, CB Kevin Hobbs, FB David Kirtman, RB Devin Moore, S Nate Ness, TE Joe Newton, WR Logan Payne, LB Dave Philistin, OTs Andre Ramsey and William Robinson, QB Jeff Rowe, WR Courtney Taylor, waived WR Jordan Kent with injury settlement, released S Brian Russell, released LB D.D. Lewis, released C Cory Withrow off of IR with injury settlement, placed CB Marcus Trufant on Reserve/PUP list.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Not surprised that Trufant landed on PUP with the injury he has. Real tough blow to their pass defense which was terrible last season.


[b]St. Louis Rams[/b] - Waived WR Jarrett Byers, waived TE Joe Klopfenstein, waived C Daniel Sanders, waived CB Marcus Brown, placed WR Brooks Foster on IR, released WR Ronald Curry, released WR Tim Carter released S Todd Johnson, placed DT Adam Carriker on IR, waived LB K.C. Asiodu, waived QB Brock Berlin, waived DT Antwon Burton, waived TE Eric Butler, waived DE Ian Campbell, waived LB Dominic Douglas, waived OT Renardo Foster, waived FB Jerome Johnson, waived C Tim Mattran, waived RB Chris Ogbonnaya, waived CB Cord Parks, waived RB Antonio Pittman, waived S Mark Rubin, waived G Roy Schuening, waived OT Phil Trautwein, waived WR Sean Walker, placed DE Eric Moore on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Klopfenstein was selected in the second-round of the 2006 draft by the Rams. Curry is a decent possession WR, so he should be able to find work. RBs Samkon Gado and Ken Darby will back up starting RB Steven Jackson. Rams are currently at 54 players, need to drop one more.


[b]Tampa Bay Buccaneers[/b] - Waived WR Dexter Jackson, waived CBs DeAngelo Willingham and Marshall McDuffie, released OL Sean Mahan, waived G Ryan Schmidt, signed OT/G Marcus Johnson, re-signed DE Jarriett Buie, claimed G Jonathan Compas off waivers from Oakland, waived OT Julius Wilson, waived S Steve Cargile, waived OT Anthony Alabi, waived CB Kyle Arrington, waived DE Chris Bradwell, waived C Rob Bruggerman, waived DE Jarriett Buie, waived WR Patrick Carter, waived DT Rashaad Duncan, waived DE Louis Holmes, waived RB Kareem Huggins, waived CB Darrell Hunter, waived OT James Lee, waived/injured S Donte Nicholson, waived TE Jason Pociask, waived TE Ryan Purvis, waived LB Bo Ruud, waived WR Mario Urrutia, placed OT Xavier Fulton on IR, released FB Jameel Cook, released WR Cortez Hankton, released K Matt Bryant, placed S Tanard Jackson on Reserve/Suspended list, traded QB Luke McCown to the Jacksonville Jaguars for an undisclosed 2010 draft pick.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Jackson went through waivers unclaimed. Have to think some team that had a high grade on him coming into last year's draft will sign him. No surprise that McCown was traded after losing starting job to Byron Leftwich. K Mike Nugent beat out Bryant.


[b]Tennessee Titans[/b] - Waived WR Dudley Guice, waived RB Rafael Little, waived LB Tyson Smith, released C Matt Lehr, waived WR Chris Davis, waived DE Larry Birdine, released LB Rocky Boiman, waived CB Tanard Davis, waived G Ryan Durand, released DeMarcus Faggins, waived FB Rodney Ferguson, released LB Ryan Fowler, waived/injured RB Quinton Ganther, waived S Tuff Harris, waived WR Mark Jones, waived DT Mitch King, waived OT Cory Lekkerkerker, waived WR Phillip Morris, waived TE Matthew Mulligan, waived G Jason Murphy, waived DT LaJuan Ramsey, waived S Nick Schommer, released LB Josh Stamer, waived P A.J. Trapasso, waived OL Fernando Velasco, waived WR Paul Williams.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Chris Henry is one of four backs on the roster. A source said he carries a partially guaranteed contract. Stephen Tulloch wins MLB job.


[b]Washington Redskins[/b] - Waived G Devin Clark, waived S Michael Grant, waived WR Marques Hagans, waived DT Michael Marquardt, released LB Alfred Fincher, waived DE Alex Buzbee, waived TE Robbie Agnone, waived RB Anthony Alridge, released OL Jeremy Bridges, waived OT Scott Burley, waived QB Chase Daniel, waived, DT Antonio Dixon, waived RB Dominique Dorsey, waived CB Doug Dutch, waived WR Keith Eloi, waived LB Cody Glenn, released WR D.J. Hackett, waived S Lendy Holmes, waived DE Rob Jackson, waived K Dave Rayner, waived G Rueben Riley, waived WR Trent Shelton, waived DL J.D. Skolnitsky, released LB Robert Thomas, waived FB Eddie Williams, waived LB Darrel Young, placed QB Colt Brennan on IR.

[i]Analysis[/i]: Hackett is probably now the best free-agent WR available. Rookie WR Marko Mitchell makes the roster. K Shaun Suisham wins job

Can you sign a guy and put him on IR? Mickens is good when healthy. I'd have no problem with signing him and putting him on IR and having him next year.

no, but you could sign him and then he could "get injured". I doubt any free agent would do that though.

what do you guys think about jack ikegwuonu/CB? before his legal problems (acquitted) and knee injury, he was expected to be a relatively high 1st round pick. it looks like he was having a pretty good camp after finally getting over his knee rehab, but was released by the eagles...who always seem to be deep at CB.

feedback?
