General NFL Cuts Thread - Who might we get?

[Basbear]

Already a few names that have my interest form other teams- 

TE Ben Braunecker

LB Jonas Griffith

LB Brady Sheldon

LB Tre Crawford

DT Ryan Glasgow

LB Todd Davis

TE Jordan Leggett

WR Hakeem Butler

OL Cody Wichmann

DE Joe Jackson

TE Michael Roberts

RB John Kelly

DB Adonis Alexander

 

I see the panthers making about 3 waiver claims.

James Burgess got cut, started the last 10 games at MLB.

Panthers already have a few options to upgrade at LB.

Hakeem Butler would be our 4th receiver. 

[1989]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix & Muhammad Sanu are a couple of big surprise names.

I don’t think we have room at receiver but Clinton-Dix maybe??

[MHS831]

What is the story with DE Joe Jackson?  I thought he was a steal in the fifth round---must have been a huge disappointment.  6-4, 275.  He ran under a 4.9 at the combine--but his other measurables were not impressive...

I wonder if the Cowboys are going to run primarily a 3-4 and the news of Gregory returning could have led to this?  Speculation on both fronts.  Just not sure what McCarthy is doing.

I get the point made here--I read a Dallas site and he was predicted to be the "surprise" cut this year.  Good call.  However, here, at least on paper, I really like where we are at S.  Boston?  Not that much, but maybe as a leader he will step up.  Chinn, Burris, and Robinson--I am really hoping for that to develop.  I hope that we do not bring in someone who will steal time from these 3 new players--but I have not been at practice--so we could be open to it.

Blowboys just had Gregory reinstated, plus they added Aldon Smith and Griffen in FA. No room for a young pup. I like Jackson coming out and thought he was a worth 5th rounder, Dallas scooped him the 5th. I believe @LinvilleGorge liked him too. Part of my list focused on teams that were deep at spots ie dallas at DE, bears at TE, and 49ers at LB. By the end of cuts, you could make a competitive team form them. All except QB have some talents, both young and old with real game exp. I hope Marty acts accordingly...

Yep, I liked him coming out of Miami but his pre-draft workouts were a bit concerning. He definitely tested significantly less athletic than I thought he would. Pre-workouts I thought he was a 4-3 DE. Post-workouts, I thought he was a 3-4 DE. I still wanted him in the 5th last year since after drafting Burns and Miller it sure looked like we were eyeing a full on switch to a 3-4 that never materialized.

[Basbear]

I expect a few FA to sign after week one. If the NFL hasnt changed the rule- if a you had a veteran(at least 4yrs) on your roster week one, his salary was guaranteed for the whole year. Making the team week one will not mean much to the players in the 45-53 range.

Jackson was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (165th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

I doubt he clears waivers, but if he does, I might find a PS spot for him.  If we claim him, I just do not know enough about him to know whose spot he'd take--Weatherly, YGM, Obada?  We also have jalen Jelks on the roster---I just do not know how good they are doing now--flying blind but still shelling out the wisdom, I am .

Yup he was picked in fifth round, funny Jalen Jelks came for Dallas waving him(he was picked the 7th). Again the blowboys have too many DEs- Lawerance, Griffen, Smith, and Gregory. Shows you its not smart to draft and sign a bunch of FAs at the same time.

He's a physical specimen but a poor WR, he might bust out of the league all together.

We have to be thinking special teams with our 4th WR.  Butler is a decent dude with no role in this league.
