MichaelWeston Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 A thread about all the guys that are interesting that other teams cut. 1. Auden Tate. Falcons just released him, we are thin at backup WR and TE...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Wait.... "We are thin at WR?" Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis? Our top 3 WRs include a pair of WR1s and a WR2, while IMO dudes like Taylor, Thomas and Morgan, who are likely to make our roster as return specialists would be WR3 starters on more than half of other teams.

You would be wrong on that. None of them are good enough to start in the league....maybe Taylor but that's pretty unlikely. They have their roles but we don't have a great 4th guy actually good at catching the ball if one of the top three goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Dazz Newsome was released by the Bears. I loved him coming out. Quicker than fast slot guy. He is a practice squad guy for this squad but I think he could be the dynamic slot we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Tate sucks. He’s slow and doesn’t get separation. Only thing he can do is go straight up and catch balls over people. A backup WR has to offer more than that. Guy is fools gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if he was all that to begin with, we would have tried harder to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esjbh2 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 I actually am pretty happy with our backup WR's and think we already have a problem with letting any of them go. The two Trent's are pretty good slot guys...Lassiter and Pryor, although only tested against backups, look really promising as backup 1's/2's...and Morgan is a ST monster and not a bad WR to boot. Oh and I forgot Thomas who's pretty versatile. I really, really, really liked Tate when he was here and kept hoping he'd amount to something...he flashed at times but he really never did consistently...so it's a "no thanks" for me. However, I do agree it would be nice to see a TE #3 step up or get a better option from outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonoe are stars, but i think youre under the impression anyone has 4th WR's better than the guys listed. if we lose jamarr we are fucked no matter what, if we lose boyd plug in taylor and use the TE more. there isnt a scenario where there is a 4th WR on the market thats going to plug n play and help the team much, IMO. Morgan is a team and teammate favorite, he isnt going anywhere, Taylor is a ST and package guy, he is on the team, and Thomas is a ST guy so he is ST coaches pick. unless we carry a 7th, those 6 are set in absolute stone. 4 hours ago, UncleEarl said: Tate sucks.

|High School Harry| Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 I still goof on the idea of Carman for Leatherwood or Deadwood for Leatherwood. true... "fully guaranteed salaries in 2022 ($1.3M), 2023 ($2M) and 2024 ($2.6M), plus a decision on whether to pick up a fifth-year option in 2025.” But Flounder's contract would chip away at that and I dare say losing Huber would be a few shackles, too, Probably another vet to two could go. Won't happen but I think it would be intriguing. Of course, Las Vegas may not want Flounder, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rape a teenage and give her an STD. What a POS who ruined his life for... well, for what he did. I wouldn't be surprised if Pittsburgh doesn't pick him up.

Leatherwood might be salvageable still. Sunday AM Not sure what showed on TV (better eyes than I) but I saw him give up a sack. Seemed to make initial contact, defender simply stepped back and ran around him. Flounder was completely clueless. And had a holding penalty. If he wasn't a second round draft pick he would be on the bubble to go when a better O lineman becomes available from some other team. Not impressed with Prince nor Adeniji, either. Mediocre at the best of times and I see no improvement from pervious years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slag911 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I say let the Ravens scoop up all the bad receivers...now they got real world problems. Demarcus Robinson was scooped up by them and was the only name that brought interest in mind and his game stats are NOT good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 football fans be having some wild ideas, some dude on twitter today, touted some star lineman who was undrafted and cut in the first round of cuts last week. man there is a drought on good linemen, only the top 1/3rd of starting linemen are any good, its not like those teams are cutting guys better than there backups, and if i team, somehow, has a pile of great lineman, theyd be traded for, they wouldnt be released, like the price hill deal. now cap cuts are another thing. but im not seeing many, if any, roster cuts that arent 100% a money cut, breaking into this roster anywhere. kind of nice not to be exciting for table scraps and a bummer it makes this part of the preseason kind of boring.

stryker57 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 too true Go.... but it used to be , "that player would be an upgrade, but they never signed them or the player would take less to go elsewhere... so please bore me every year at this time for now on. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarkster Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'd like to see them take a look at Lynn Bowden (just cut by the Dolphins). A lot of elusiveness in the open field and could be a return option. Could be a solid option in the slot behind Boyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
