Afternoon lads, Nate Chandler is released. Sincerely, Nctarheel0619

Just one more to go now ... Tolbert

Just said this on Twitter, DG is having a release party, he's not even dropping an album today.  Guys are probably shutting their phones off, fearing they're the next one, getting the "You've Been Release" call.

I'm going to guess this is for contracts for Short, Star, Klein, and maybe Norman or Coleman.

jesus you guys are dicks, the guy was an undrafted DEFENSIVE tackle coming out college and swtiched positions to OG then OT and did whatever we asked for him. He wasn't an All-pro but damn I like Nate Chandler and have a lot of respect for him

That's gonna be tough since he's a free agent and Gettleman indicated at the combine that he wants all the RBs back.

He's probably the first guy who has been released today that I will not miss in the slightest.

I forgot he was still on the roster

Judging by the title, it looks like they broke you like wild dogs

Wish him the best. Felt like he worked hard to switch from D to O but if Gettleman is letting him walk, that means he has a plan to replace him with someone better. I'm good with that.

Thanks for your willingness to do whatever the team asked of you, wish you all the best!

bottom churning. Lets get rid of the canadian giant while we are at it.

I know a lot of us are focusing on the cap space Dave G. is freeing up with these moves today.  And that's certainly true for CJ's release. But some of these other cuts could also be about churning the bottom of the roster and freeing up roster space. 

Before these 3 cuts were made, with the practice squad guys and the future contract guys, (and including all our pending free agents), we had:

• 61 players who finished on the active roster or the IR (counts Wes Horton who was temporarily demoted to the PS at season's end)
• 16 Practice Squad / Futures Contract guys
• 1 new free agent signing (Punter Swayze Waters)

So, before today, that equaled 78 players before adding draft picks, new free agents, and UDFAs, leaving only 12 spots total (for the 90 man roster during the offseason) and only a very few spots open on the potential 53 man roster for 2016.  Making a few more spaces for new blood and to keep the roster fresh is always a good thing!  

Now we're down to 75, and I expect we'll see a few more places open up (free agents who are not resigned).
