Tuesday NFL Cuts

[nctarheel0619]

You should make it a thread instead of discussing with us like we have been in this thread. 

I totally forgot about this thread.  My fault, good sir.

What would you even do with Star and Phil clogging up the middle and the speed of Davis and Thompson on the sides and Kuechly up the middle. Toss it up for grabs and let Tillman get a pick 6?

Deontay Greenberry is a name I remember some people mentioning. Cut by the Seahawks.

I'm not going to be able to easily do a final update on all the WR cuts.  The roster cuts tracker on NFL.com doesn't seem complete even now.  No transactions listed for Detroit.  Only 3 for Denver.  5 for New England.  I suppose Denver and New England might could have already been below 90... but in any case, it doesn't seem like the list is complete.

Here are just a few more WR names from teams whose lists have been added (Seattle) or greatly lengthened (Oakland) since I checked yesterday evening.

Oakland:

WR Josh Harper, 23 rookie, 6'1 Fresno State

WR Trindon Holliday, 29, 5th season, 5'5, LSU.  Draft 2010, 6th round Houston.  Looks like he must have played ST.  few receiving stats.

WR Kenbrell Thompkins, 27, 3d season, 6'1, Cincinnati.  26 games/15 starts (Patriots & Oakland).  53 receptions 728 yds 4 TD

WR Milton Williams III, 21 rookie, 6'2, Delaware.

 

Seattle

WR Deshon Foxx, 22 rookie, 5'10, connecticut

WR Deontay Greenberry, 21, rookie, 6'2, Houston

 

For Detroit, checking PFT, I find:

** Ryan Broyles, 27, 5'10,  Oklahoma 2012 Draft Round 2 Detroit.

Lest anyone start salivating at the thought of New Orleans Nick Toon

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7458/nick-toon

Saints waived/injured WR Nick Toon.

Waived/injured will send Toon through waivers before landing him on season-ending injured reserve. He could then be outright waived when he returns to health. Toon caught just two preseason passes for 11 yards before going down in the second exhibition game. He never really put any heat on Brandon Coleman for No. 3 duties, even though Coleman has had a middling summer. Sep 1 - 2:55 PM

[Proudiddy]

Surprised they waived Nick Toon.  Might be worth a look...   How severe is his injury though? 

[Ivan The Awesome]

Any notable cuts?

Deontay Greenberry is a name I remember some people mentioning. Cut by the Seahawks.

5 star recruit out of high school that had some pre draft buzz due to his athleticism and big numbers from the pass happy Houston offense but he had a terrible pro day or combine, went undrafted and has now been cut by both the Cowboys and Seahawks so far this preseason. Getting cut twice before the final cut down is a terrible sign. At best, he is a practice squad guy that you hope develops into something after a year or two and it might be worth it to do that, but he's definitely not a candidate for the 53 man roster.

Damn, I forgot that he was actually picked up by Dallas first. Remember though, that Greenberry had/has been dealing with the trial of the death of his father. Perhaps he wasn't as committed or focused. Just a thought.

@DougKyedNESN: Ex-Patriots WR Kenbrell Thompkins cleared waivers. He's now a free agent.

Missed this yesterday, but the Raiders cut James Dockery. This is relevant to our compensatory pick situation. This leaves Byron Bell and Greg Hardy as the only UFAs we "lost," which puts us in a hole given that we signed 3.

Nothing is definite with the mysterious compensatory pick formula, but it's largely accepted that gaining as many or more UFAs as you lost = no compensatory picks. 

The only chance we have is to cut two of Coleman, Trusnik, and Tillman, and hope Bell survives the next round of cuts. Basically, it's not happening.
