Sudfeld after 2 plus years in this system still doesn't look like a player that could really help us during the season if it came to that.
We would still be looking to acquire a veteran off the street to come in and be the starter.
So, if I were the GM I would not hold a roster spot for Sudfeld if I have a player at another position who is younger and has a legit chance to develop.
I was listening to 980 early this AM and Al Galdi was talking about cutting Robert Davis and Jeremy Sprinkle and putting them on the practice squad.
I think that is naive.
Robert Davis has the size, speed and has shown well enough in camp and the preseason that he will be claimed by another club as soon as we try and pass him through waivers.
To me, we cut Brian Quick who has really not shown that much or Sudfeld.
Sprinkle has shown less than Davis but given he is a rookie and
#5 pick who you expected to need some time to develop when he was drafted, I would think you let Derrick Carrier go.
Again, I think Sprinkle would also be claimed.
The Redskins already have 3 receiving tight ends in Reed, Davis and Paul that are going to make the roster. Reed and Paul are guys under 240.
We need somebody with size that Bill Callahan and Co. can work with to help the running game down the line.
Carrier can't block worth a lick. He and Reed are finesse players. We need a counter-balance.
