Recent League Salary Cap Cuts

Sportscenter just threw up a list of potential salary cap casualties. At the tope of the list were Derrick Brooks and Simeon Rice. Also, Billy Volek and a couple other names I recognized, but can't remember right now.

yeah but mike williams is a character guy that gibbs would probably like, he is a personality to say the least. if the contract was cheap id love to have him here for depth

We once drafted a dude named Wally Kleine out of Notre Dame back in the late '80s. He was an offensive tackle taken in the second round and was 6'9" 320 lbs (a real monster back in those days). But he never started and he ended up staying with us for only a few years before getting out of football altogether. I think Bugel was the o-line coach back in those days, but he couldn't get Kleine to measure up to his potential. I'm not saying Bugel isn't a good coach, but a player must have the motivation, character, and work ethic to improve before a coach can fix his problems. That might be the problem with Mike Williams from the Bills.


i remember kleine well... you could also add andre johnson to the list. lasted barely 2 season with the skins despite being a first round pick..

you need feet to be a good lineman, not just size

Welcome!

I don't know if this has been brought up, but are teams being perhaps too hasty in cutting players? I mean you cut a guy like Will Shields thinking you have to because there's no CBA in place. But then what if a deal is reached?
