The down to final 53 thread 2013

[Burgundy Burner]

Evan Royster has been told that he makes the team.

Two cuts to go...

Could come from this group of players.

Chris Thompson
Dezmon Briscoe (IR, injury settlement?)
Pat White
Niles Paul
Marvin Burdette
Jordan Pugh

 

[McD5]

You keep saying this as if it is fact...have we signed Winfield?

Not yet. He was just released by Seattle, due to age (36) depth and salary (3 million).

According to many, in addition to Aquib Talib, we made a strong push for him in the offseason. Many outlets like PFT are reporting that we are his most likely landing spot.

Not the Skins but I'm bummed to see Brian Banks get cut by the Falcons. I was rooting for that guy.

Everybody in the country is rooting for that guy. The Falcons did say they'd still like to offer him a job within the organization.

 

[Fear The Spear]

These fragmented sentences, plus the lack of context, made no sense to me

Keim is surprised Chase was cut.

Staff thinks Chase needs to improve in off man coverage.

Worried about knee health with all the surgeries he's had.

Buy More Ovaltine

How do you infer Ovaltine from Keim's quote ?

Is that what Minnifield should have done to perform better ?

Pure conjecture from everyone! Because we showed interest in the offseason, and after Winfield gets cut by the Seahawks...it makes us a destination? I am not saying it won't happen, but please stopping making claims we are losing out on potential for a short term solution as if it is fact...you often do this and it's quite tiring to be honest. I know we live in a PFT world where rumor is thrown against the wall to see what will stick instead of real news being reported, but I come on this site to see what moves we've made and you're spouting off about how we've thrown away Chase Minnifield for Antoine Winfield who has been cut by Seattle.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Yea it would be a good idea to have a thread exclusively for rumors

 

[DieselPwr44]

Because I got the ring Fear!!!

 

[McD5]

It's speculation at this point El. PFT is reporting it, some beat writers have mentioned it, and some of the "skinsiders" group are claiming it.

After stashing Minnifield, we had better get it done now.

 

[DieselPwr44]

With it being August 31st, if Tenard Jackson gets re-instated, how does that affect cut down day here?

 

[Elephant]

Why? If Seattle cut him, why do we want him?

 

[McD5]

Why? If Seattle cut him, why do we want him?

I'd personally prefer Minnifield. But if you believe the reports from PFT or the beat writers that claim we went after him hard this offseason, then it appears the coaching staff likes him.

They aren't the only ones:


"@ProFootballTalk: Report: Antoine Winfield won't make Seahawks' 53-man roster wp.me/p14QSB-9g1i"...wow, great player!

--London Fletcher

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Marvin Burdette has been cut.

One cut to go...

Could come from this group of players.

Chris Thompson
Dezmon Briscoe (IR, injury settlement?)
Pat White

Geez El...can you dial it back a little? Folks are free to speculate all they want, including you. That's kind of the fun part, right?

 

[servumtuum]

Another non-Redskins, but possible general interest-the Panthers have cut QB Jimmy Clausen.

Tebow, Young, Clausen-a lot of QBs sudenly available.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Mo Hurt to PUP.

It all comes down to...

Pat White
Dezmon Briscoe (IR, injury settlement?)

 

[servumtuum]

Another reason I mentioned Clausen, with Tebow, Young and Clausen out there, how marketable would Pat White be?

 

[Boone]

Hey BB - we'll have to make 2 more cuts later right, with Jenkins and possibly Tanard J. coming back? Am I wrong on that?

 

[Boone]

Yea it would be a good idea to have a thread exclusively for rumors

We don't need a separate thread. The guys posting rumors are clearly saying they're rumors. It's all good.

Correct.
