Re: Surprise Cuts

I think Trash will stay because he is still an adaquate receiver and plays great STs. Ade is not a very good corner. If he was a better coverage guy i could see him staying but with all the good CBs we aquired this offseason, I think at least one of them can replace AJ on teams.

You have lost your flippin' mind! THE ADE is a great corner - did you not see him shut down Larry Fitzgerald last year? And he's the best player the skins have on special teams.

Every year everyone talks about THE ADE as the first player to be cut and each and every year he makes the team. I think Carlos Rogers has a better chance of being cut before THE ADE.

Re: Surprise Cuts

Rock ain't going anywhere. He was straight cash on ST last year. Thrash is safe... He's a solid ST'er and probably our biggest WR (not counting Cooley (TE)).

Big Joe might go, if there is questions on his health. Wynn is a great guy but I'm not sure how much he has left and what he contributes to the DL...

I would like to ESPY get his chance this year on the roster of 53...

Ade could be suseptible if the other CB's and newly drafted LB's play good ST.

Re: Surprise Cuts

Jansen for sure! His play has fallen off since his injury.

j/k!

All of the above mentioned are the usual suspects, I suspect!

Re: Surprise Cuts

Cutting Rock would horrible. Rock busts his ass and makes plays on special teams. And, you know a little guy like him must have an excellent work ethic, they need Rock around so other guys learn how to work just as hard as he does.

Cutting Rock would just be stupid.

Re: Surprise Cuts

Boschetti, Salavea, D. Evans, the Ade & J. Butler or D. Macklin, Fox and/or Doughty on D.
On O, I can't name all the backups we signed, but I don't see any real name cuts there.

I threw the ADe in there cause he's got a lot of competition, but he should be the front runner in the #5 cb competition. I'd be shocked if he moved up to 4 ahead of Macklin & Butler.

Re: Surprise Cuts

I don't think Macklin makes the roster. Uhh, Stoutmire or Fox might go also. Todd Yoder may get the axe, and Collins is good as gone.

All the people you just named with the exception of Collins I see making the roster.

Macklin will be here 100%.
I think Stoutmire makes the team.
Cartwright and Thrash aren't going anywhere.

Training camp FRI!!! IT IS ON!

I think Macklin was a min wage signing at a position we were desperate for depth for, and I think the fact that we signed Jeremetrius Butler, a better player, after we signed Macklin makes him expendable to say the least.

Macklin is on a one year deal. He'll have his shot in camp, but unless he improved immensely this offseason, he won't be taking Butler's roster spot, nor Jimoh's.

Well, under the salary cap rules, the people that are signed for the league min don't hit your salary cap numbers. They only count the top paid players (I forget the exact amount of people they count). So to drop Macklin would be stupid cause he doesn't cost us a thing.

The Top 53 count towards the cap. So Macklin counts if he makes the final roster.
