Players getting cut throughout the league

PrintI thought it would be interesting to start a discussion about some of the names being cut throughout the league. There might not be a more exciting time for FA in a long time. Not only are there going to be more bigger names than usual but they is going to be a crazy frenzy to get them signed! I'll go over the names I've heard after the jump, feel free to chime in with more names that I missed as well any speculation about where they could land and if you are interested in seeing any of them in Green and Gold.

Does BAL have any WRs under contract other than Boldin right now?
They cut Mason and Houshmandzadeh and Stallworth are FAs. Boldin, Torrey Smith, and who?

Tandon Doss out of IU
4th round pick, methinks. He was solid, but if he can produce more than Houshmandzadeh for less $$$, why wouldn’t you make the move?

Tarvaris Jackson
Tarvaris Jackson has apparently agreed to a contract with Seattle. It’s not a cut or anything, but it’s news…
I ran out of quotes.....
I hope Zac Lee beats him out.

You know the Pack have such minor and specific needs I don't see any of these guys really fitting
Basically right now it’s OLB and DE that really are the places a FA could come in and really contribute. Add in the prospects that we got through the new undrafted guys and that need lessens even more.
For example...
Would there really be a spot for Roy Williams? I mean I guess so, but the WR corp is pretty stacked without him and I don’t see him as a major upgrade over Driver or Nelson, even though he might have more potential than either he just doesn’t ever really live up to that potential.
What about Todd Heap? Well we already have TE and FB’s coming out our ears. As talented as Heap might be I just don’t see him fitting in with Finely back, Williams just drafted, Quarless coming along, and Crabtree fighting for a spot as always.
Or any of the HB’s now….Barber sounds good but is he going to be better than Starks? Green looks good and even some of the undrafted guys would have more in the tank and could be pretty darn good.
by PackApologist on Jul 26, 2011 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Barber loves to dance at the line of scrimmage.
He had plenty of highlight reel plays and somehow made the Pro Bowl in 2007 (along with the entire Dallas Cowboys starting roster), but since then? He averaged a pathetic 3.3 YPC and got beaten out by Felix Jones and Tashard Choice, both of whom are very good backs.

Manny Lawson
He’s pretty much the only free agent I’ll be looking at seriously. Mostly because he’s affordable, young, and still has upside. That’s assuming we cut Brady Poppinga and still have room to sign our draft picks…
I ran out of quotes.....
Donovan McNabb to Vikings....funny or scary?
Right now I’m thinking funny. Sounds like the trade would be affordable, but it would be great to see them invest more picks and money to the QB position after flushing a first round pick on Ponder.
It won't be long before...
we start hearing Minnesota fans chanting Superbowl again….only to suddenly fall in utter disappointment….. McNabb is just not a good QB anymore.

No, no they are not by a long shot
Right now I don’t know if they even have a full defensive line for their first four games. Allen is still around, Williams will be suspended, Kennedy is gone, Evans is a FA according to NFL.com, I guess they will be counting on Ballard, Guion, and Robison.

Pat Williams might also be gone.

Yeah that was at 50/50
Technically he’s not on the team right now. The funny part of all of this are the Viking fans saying that the moves cutting Kennedy and such is to clear cap room for Pat Williams. Some how if a team is cutting a guy at the same position as a 38 year old player in order to clear cap space something is wrong….
by PackApologist on Jul 26, 2011 5:55 PM CDT up reply actions
They did the same thing when they released Rosenfels for QB4, didn't they?
Williams is a proven run-stuffer, He’s pretty old, but it’s a different thing to be a 38 year old DT than it is to be a 40 year old QB…

Nah Rosenfels was a political decision
He was typically considered a malcontent, and thought to be the source behind all the troubles in the Viking locker room.
Really Rosenfels came in because one member of their triangle of authority traded for him and believed in him while the coach didn’t like him at all. Sage and Chilly then clashed like…well mixing sage with actual chili, resulting in them pissing away another third round pick (which is what they traded for Rosenfels in the first place).
But hey, no one outside of DN has ever accused the Viking front office of being functional or having a plan.

Hey, they had a plan last year!
Their starting QB played about as bad as I’ve seen a QB play for several weeks before getting injured, and…and…they squandered Adrian Peterson? I don’t know.

Donovan McNabb is going to Minnesota
Apparently there’s a deal in place and Minnesota will restructure McNabb’s contract. This is great news for the Packers, Lions, and Bears. Now the Vikings can continue to prolong the development of their younger players.

Should've reworded that
They agreed on a trade, but the Vikings need to restructure the contract to finalize it.

Haha
This is outstanding news. Wonder what they’re gonna give up for him. Fourth, fifth round pick?

Yes
Charles Johnson re-signs with Panthers. Not going to Falcons.

Agrees to resign*
Not official yet.
'I was the guy who took all the reps in the offseason, Brett was the one who took all the reps during the season.' - Aaron Rodgers
I'm surprised
He would have a golden opportunity to compete for the division and Superbowl by signing with Atlanta. I guess if the man’s happy in Carolina, he outta stay there…
I ran out of quotes.....
$30 million signing bonus will make up for a lot of things!
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
Yeah, that was a big payday
I saw what Carolina offered him and it all made sense. I’m not sure, but I don’t think he would’ve made that much elsewhere based upon 1 year of production.
"Seahawks sign Matt Leinart. Unlike Antonio Cromartie, coach Pete Carroll loves having Trojans on hand’’. Brilliant
Another Rumor
Detroit will try and sign CB Jonathan Joseph. There’s still a good chance that Cincy resigns him, but if they don’t, Joseph to Detroit would be huge for the Lions. That would not bode well for us…
I ran out of quotes.....
True
But signing Nnandi Asomugha would be a huge burden for them fighting the salary cap. He’s certainly a great CB, but I don’t think he’s worth the salary he was getting. Then again, it’s hard to imagine any team paying him like Al Davis did…..
I ran out of quotes.....
Especially with the new, lower cap
Nobody outcrazies Al Davis. Well, maybe Snyder intermittently.
13.
Stupid FO decisions.
Imagine if they spent more than ten cents on their run defense. That team could have aced US out of the playoffs.
on second thought, thanks Tampa Bay!

Tampa
They are building their team the same way TT built Green Bay. I don’t think we can criticize them too much, it’s pretty similar to TT’s early years in Green Bay. They got rid of all their vets and built the team solely on draft picks. It’s still a very young team, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them stick with that mentality.
I ran out of quotes.....
They HAVE to be active in the FA period
They’re like $60 mil under the cap. They need to spend a lot to reach the salary floor.
13.
Wow
Didn’t realize they were that much under the cap!!!!
"Seahawks sign Matt Leinart. Unlike Antonio Cromartie, coach Pete Carroll loves having Trojans on hand’’. Brilliant
Yep, they're $59.2 mil below the cap
The next closest is Sea at $39 mil under. and that was before their little QB spending spree.
13.
WOW! For real? That is nuts and they are going to HAVE to spend it. Crazy. Time to give some big money to their QB I guess.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
They were such tightwads last year
They should extend their young players with front-loaded deals, and maybe bring in a big-name FA or two. TB looks to be a solid landing spot for Nnamdi. Plus, that $59.2 mil below is including Aqib Talib’s $1,653,750 salary for next year, and they’ve already indicated that he’s not going to be back after his legal trouble. They’ll need a CB, and they’ll need to spend money; sounds like a match to me. They went 10-6 last year, so Asomugha’s desire to play for a winner is at least somewhat taken care of (though, their schedule last year was surprisingly easy). They are a team on the rise, however, and they have a good solid young nucleus.
13.
A bit behind the times friend...
The Bucs have said officially that Talib is going nowhere. The NFL may punish him, but the Bucs are standing by their man.

I can see them making a big free agent splash just to bring up the salary floor to meet league minimum. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them shell out money for Nnamdi Asomugha

Not too worried. They won 10 games but 9 of those came against the Browns, Panthers, Bengals, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Redskins, Lions, and Seahawks. They beat New Orleans which was the only team with a winning record they beat all year.
I think they’ve got some promising pieces but they’re not ready yet to really compete imo.

Although, still, I agree with pad,
that the Saints were the only team with a winning record that they beat (and that was in week 17, when the Saints ahd nothing to play for).

I don't feel they're a great team yet
and 10-6 was definitely an overachievement for them last year, but I think they’re on the verge of breaking out; still a very young team with room to grow.

Um
Via JCLF from NFL.com
The Bengals have expressed interest in RB Brandon Jackson, but the Packers want to keep him.
