Surprised. How much can they have learned about the rookies, so far?

Cutting Boykin is really surprising....

[Frank Hollywood]

Wow. Just wow. I'm questioning this one. I wonder if there's more to the story on Boykin.

[Bronn]

but but but according to some Huddle experts Worley is a bum!

I can't say that I am surprised at all. The 3 CBs we got in the draft are going to play well, often, and early.

[Floppin]

I can only assume we're going to be seeing a lot more base packages with Shaq on the field. I'm honestly ok with that as running two rookies at corner and nickle the majority of the time is pretty frightening.

[Captain Obvious]

Gettlemagic doubling down on rookie CB's.

Has more to do with how good Sanchez looked, imo.

I actually wonder if he may have asked for a release, no reason to cut 3 guys to sign 6 when you have 5 open roster spots.

EDIT: Well, guess his tweet disproves that.

its not a surprise. insurance signing in case draft did not fall the way they wanted it to.

I am confused. The guy is a veteran and a proven player. I trust the front office but I hope this does not come back to bite us. We cut him for a try out player. :+|

[electro's horse]

so he'll be on his fourth team in two years. hm

[bLACKpANTHER]

whoa, that was unexpected.. he and Bene are the only ones with actual game experience.. wtf!?!
