I've only seen the very few clips Igo has posted, but from what I've read so far:

 

Thrilled with:

 

King....sometimes the answer is already on your roster

 

Bene....we drafted him to be a ballhawk and he has been.  He has a lot to improve on, but he looks

            good....high ceiling....could be a future starter that we got in the 5th.

 

Davis .....sounds like he is tearing it up

 

 

Gano.....looks like a possible Pro Bowl year for him

 

Turner.....all signs point to gold in the 3rd round

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pretty happy with:

 

Avant....we need him to be good, and so far he's looked better than not bad

 

Bersin....long shot sounds like he has a shot

 

Byndom ...another long shot who may have a shot

 

Cotchery....too many drops, but sounds like he's stepping into a vet leadership role.  I was hoping for more 

 

 

Dickson.....giving me a tad bit more than I had hoped for...didn't know him very well

 

Klein....show signs of steady improvement, if not flashy.  Another 5th round starter?

 

 

 

 

 

 

would really like to hear some good things about:

 

Addison, Alexander, Harper, Amini,

 

 

 

a little concerned with:

 

Ealy.....sounds overwhelmed and frustrated, but he plays a position that's hard to excel in as a rookie

 

 

Underwood.....too many drops

 

 

 

 

 

getting worried about:

 

McNutt...hasn't show much at all, except bad things

 

 

Godfrey....getting the feeling if he makes the team, he won't last all season

Amini has been solid.  

 

Here is a fluff piece on Addison:

 

“On the defensive side he brings a good changeup as far as what Charles does and what Greg Hardy does,” coach Ron Rivera said. “He’s a little more explosive off the ball. He does a good job of bending the corner, and at the same time he can play some of the other ‘defensive end’ positions that we do in terms of wide alignments and tight alignments.”
 
In Addison’s mind, though, not much has changed. Even now that he’s consistently earning playing time and has more money to spend, his attitude is the same as when he was bouncing among teams’ practice squads.
 
“I’m always hungry,” he said. “No matter what my role is, I’m gonna be hungry.”

OK training camp is not over, and preseason hasn't even started.  I am just going to reserve any negative judgement, or get overly excited.   

 

 

 

cool, but that was why the post said "so far"

 

 

 

some have stood out "so far", some haven't.

 

without being able to watch, I'm asking for other opinions

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
