Thanks for that D4life....much easier reading the cuts rather than sift through dozens of comments about this guy or that guy being cut.

Thanks for bringing some order to this thread!

no problem peen I couldn't help it haha

Eric Kush from LA was cut (interior lineman) .. he's started for them for a little while. Wouldn't mind bringing him in

did a re-post....why can't people delete a post if they choose?

There was a link to the tracker. I was just posting the ones that were surprising or we might be interested in.

DB pickings look pretty slim so far.

Kalan Reed and...Brock Vereen, maybe. Maybe Tre Roberson as a developmental DB and potential year-end starting QB.

Not sure I've seen anyone in the secondary I really want to sign to the 53.

Final 53 -- although I am thinking the punter position might be updated soon

Offense (25)
Quarterbacks (3): Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Cody Kessler; running backs (4): Isaiah Crowell, Duke Johnson Jr., Raheem Mostert, Terrell Watson; fullback (1): Malcolm Johnson; wide receivers (6): Terrelle Pryor, Andrew Hawkins, Corey Coleman, Ricardo Louis, Jordan Payton, Rashard Higgins; tight ends (3): Gary Barnidge, Randall Telfer, Seth DeValve; offensive line (8): Joe Thomas, Joel Bitonio, Cameron Erving, John Greco, Austin Pasztor, Shon Coleman, Spencer Drango, Alvin Bailey
Defense (25)
Defensive linemen (6): Danny Shelton, John Hughes III, Stephen Paea, Carl Nassib, Xavier Cooper, Jamie Meder; linebackers (9): Christian Kirksey, Demario Davis, Tank Carder, Dominique Alexander, Scooby Wright III, Emmanuel Ogbah, Nate Orchard, Cam Johnson, Joe Schobert; defensive backs (10): Joe Haden, Jamar Taylor, Tramon Williams, Trey Caldwell, Tracy Howard, Ibraheim Campbell, Rahim Moore Sr., Jordan Poyer, Derrick Kindred, Don Jones
Specialists (3)
Kicker (1): Patrick Murray; punter (1): Michael Palardy; long snapper (1): Charley Hughlett

Grimm....DB picking are always pretty slim. The Steelers just gave us a 6th rounder for Gilbert if you need proof.

Unless you get TOTALLY lucky, you don't find quality on waivers. Teams keep any DB with any talent on the roster. If nothing else, they make pretty decent special teams players.

If you want decent DB talent, you have to draft them or trade for them.

I know, but we're at the top of the waiver order (2nd/32) and you'd think there might be one.

Haven't seen Seattle's cuts yet, though.

Ed Reynolds from PHI is a safety that could be someone to look at

Seahawks Cuts

Browns should sign Evans from the 'Hawks and Sitton from the Packers. Move Bitonio to RT and Greco to C.

Happy and sorry at the same time that Tyvis Powell made the final cut for the Seahawks.

Broncos signed Austin Davis to be their backup/QB mentor.

Think Evans is in severe decline. Seattle's O-Line isn't very good.

I think our O-Line just needs time. Sitton would probably be an upgrade once he settled in, but for how long?

I don't care how long; I care about now. Its long-past time for this team to compete. Our OL is not professional grade right now.

there's a very slim chance you see this FO bring in a vet like Sitton or Evans who's on the downside of their career. They don't care about winning this year as much as they care about evaluating/developing/acquiring assets

I agree with the sentiment, but I think our secondary/Defense is what will hold us back rather than the O-Line.

Also not sure how long it would take him to adapt to our scheme. Aaron Rodgers is a better scrambler and mover inside the pocket.

Wouldn't be upset if we signed him, but I don't see it.

If you live in Cleveland, you can open your newspaper to the obituary page on any given day and, I'd venture to say, see the names of several, or maybe dozens of Browns fans who put on their Browns gear every Sunday in the fall, hoping this would be the year they saw a competitive team. I don't want to hear about 2018 draft picks ANY MORE.

Brock Vereen retired last week...

I'm not saying I'm happy about waiting for another few years either, trust me. I'm just saying that seems to be their plan. Sucks.

Ravens cut Victor Ochi. I was really interested in him during the draft. I didn't follow him in ST, so I wonder if he is someone we can sign to the PS.

I would rather build the team and actually end up with something, than bring in a vet or 2 and win 4 games instead of 3.

If we were going to rely on veterans, then we should have kept our own veterans, the ones we let walk over the past 2 seasons.

THIS is how bad our roster is.

When you have 14 draft picks and not only ALL of them can make the team, but you keep 2 UDFA's as well? Yeah - the cupboards have been ripped bare.

x2

Yeah, because the draft has worked so well for us. I'd much rather take the George Allen approach and trade "maybe's" (draft picks) for "proven's" (established veterans). Its way past time for this team to compete. Forget winning the SB, just entertain me a little bit, and stop embarrassing me.

I would love to see us sign Josh Sitton. He plays eery spot accept Center really well.

Oakland Raiders


Cuts to 75: C Ross Burbank, LS Andrew East, S Chris Edwards, S Chris Hackett, S Jimmy Hall, WR Joe Hansley, DB Tramain Jacobs, LB Lenny Jones, WR Max McCaffrey, DT Leon Orr, WR Nathan Palmer, K Giorgio Tavecchio, TE Colton Underwood, OL Terran Vaughn

Cuts to 53: LB James Cowser, RB George Atkinson III, G Mitch Bell, WR K.J. Brent, CB Kenneth Durden, WR Marvin Hall, DL Drew Iddings, DL Branden Jackson, G Denver Kirkland, DT Derrick Lott, LB John Lotulelei, TE Jake McGee, WR Jaydon Mickens, TE Ryan O'Malley, G Oni Omoile, CB Neiko Thorpe, LB Korey Toomer, DE Greg Townsend Jr., LB Kyrie Wilson, LB Neiron Ball

Anyone know anything about him? I watched the Raiders in their 4th preseason game and he stood out to me.

Jahri Evans hasn't been good for awhile and there is 0% chance Sitton signs with us.

Was at South Florida for 3 years before being charged with felony drug possession (>20 grams of marijuana) Finished up at Youngstown State.

That's all I could find really. Unless he really studded out, I'm guessing pass.

Thanks. I knew he played here in Y-town but I didn't know the back story.

Cleveland Browns Scribbles on trades, cuts and rookies -- Terry Pluto

http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index...bles_on_2.html



CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my Browns notebook as the roster cuts are made:


1. Pittsburgh must have thought the Browns had another team interested in Justin Gilbert, or at least the Browns made them believe that was the case. Either way, it's a nice move securing a 2018 sixth-round pick for Gilbert, because I'm very sure the Browns were going to cut him. Maybe the Steelers will squeeze something out of Gilbert. Maybe he needs a fresh start. But I doubt it.


2. The Hue Jackson coaching staff gave Gilbert a fresh start. He often worked with the starters. Defensive Coordinator Ray Horton mentioned one of his goals was to turn the No. 8 pick in the 2014 draft into a viable player. He had an open door to playing here, but failed to seize the opportunity.


3. Before the Gilbert deal, the last time the Browns traded with the Steelers was in 2013. They sent a fourth-round pick (who became Shamarko Thomas) for a 2014 third-rounder. Thomas is a backup defensive back with the Steelers. What happened to that third-round pick in 2014? The Browns used it to trade up for Johnny Manziel...sigh.

4. The Andy Lee trade to Carolina for a fourth-rounder in 2018 looks even better right now. That was the highest draft pick traded for a punter since 1994. Then the Browns signed veteran punter Britton Colquitt, who was a salary cap cut in Denver. He's not an elite punter in the class of Lee, but he's solid.

5. The Browns had six first-round picks between 2011 and 2014. Here's where they are now: Phil Taylor (2011, out of football); Trent Richardson (2012, out of football); Brandon Weeden (2012, backup QB in Houston); Barkevious Mingo (backup linebacker in New England), Johnny Manziel (out of football) and Gilbert (traded to Pittsburgh). So 3-of-6 are out of football, and the other three are not starters. None are with the Browns. Yikes!

6. The Browns have only two players left from the six players picked in 2014: Joel Bitonio and Chris Kirksey, both starters. Terrance West was in that draft. He has made the Baltimore Ravens. The Browns cut fourth-rounder Pierre Desir. The others were first rounders Manziel and Gilbert.

7. The Browns kept all 14 of their draft choices, but that's temporary. I expect a few of them to end up on the practice squad. The Browns intend to claim some players on waivers. They have 16 total rookies on the roster right now.

8. The only full-time center on the roster in Cameron Erving. Veteran John Greco played some center in the past, but he starts at right guard. The Browns are hoping to claim a center cut by another team.

9. The Browns cut center Mike Matthews, son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews. I do wonder if he might appear on the practice squad.

10. I was more surprised by the Browns cutting Marlon Moore (excellent on special teams) than mini-receiver Taylor Gabriel. When I heard the Browns planned to keep veteran Andrew Hawkins (another small receiver), it seemed doubtful they'd also have Gabriel. Not with four wide receivers drafted.

11. When it comes to the rookie wide receivers, I was hoping to see more -- from all of them. First-rounder Corey Coleman had a hamstring injury and played only the last two preseason games. He looked raw and rusty.

12. Fourth-rounder Ricardo Louis played in the opener against Green Bay. He made some good plays on special teams. Then he was injured (hamstring) for the rest of camp. He's on the roster now, and at the very least, he'll end up on the practice squad. The Browns like his long-range potential.

13. Fifth-rounder Rashard Higgins led all the rookies with four preseason receptions. Jordan Payton caught two passes for 13 total yards. I still like Higgins, but wished he had been on the field more often in the preseason.

14. I have a hard time believing rookie Trey Caldwell will end up on the 53-man roster. He is there now, but missed all the preseason games with a hamstring pull. It appears the fifth-rounder would eventually be headed to the practice squad.

15. In 2014-15, the Browns drafted five defensive backs. The only one still with the team is safety Ibraheim Campbell, who is expected to start at safety. The other four from those drafts: Charles Gaines (cut), Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (cut), Desir (cut) and Gilbert (traded).
