To those saying no one would pick him up now because they're trimming their own rosters, the Saints thought enough of Jumal Rolle to pick him up off waivers. That's Jumal Rolle, and it's not like we don't need CB help. So Rogers makes it through waivers on early cuts, but Rolle doesn't. Interesting.
-
Rolle picked up by Saints, so teams are adding after first cuts. Still no word on Da'Rick.
-
"had angered Bill Belichick so much with his actions — which included missed practices — that he was one misstep away from being released."
Well, go big or go home? That was some misstep!
-
Has he cleared waivers? Anyone pick him up yet?
-
No surprise on Rogers. Marrone telegraphed that awhile ago. Amazing how some misinterpret pretty straightforward comments and conjure up grand conspiracy theories!
-
The tape does lie - a lot. Especially in preseason. It's fair to debate Easley vs Rogers but... I felt that needed saying still
How 'bout practice tape? Doesn't practice tape help decide who gets on preseason tape? I thought I heard a coach or two say the tape doesn't lie.
-
They will cut Rogers and Hogan or Easley , and try to sneak Hogan or Easley onto the practice squad as teams will grab Rogers first.
Besides Easley not being eligible for practice squad, I think Easley would get snapped up quicker than Rogers. The tape don't lie.

Not sure why everyone so happy about this. Yes it's great he will be on the field, but does he really want to be on this team? Sounds to me something like we are renting him for a year. Not the way to build a franchise. He will be playing for a contract, which is good, but the guy cannot be happy being here at this moment. couldn't be.
What a weird interpretation of the situation.
-
So......if i remember correctly...
...franchise players cannot negotiate long term deals after July XX...
...it is past July XX ...
...he signed awful early...
Could that mean we could see a long term deal coming? Maybe the numbers were close...maybe I am dreaming...
Whaaa??? No long term deal possible until after the season.
-
Yeah, i could easily see the Jets signing him. But there are going to be all kinds of decent WRs cut from other teams that would be more productive right away than Da'Rick. Guys like Derek Hagan, who is way better than Da'rick right now, and likely significantly better than Marcus Easley, Brad Smith and Chris Hogan, are available all the time.
Why you raggin' on Easley man! Guys been a beast!
-
And camp breaks tomorrow....shocker! Glad they didn't negotiate away their right to franchise him again next year.
-
And camp breaks tomorrow - about what was expected. Glad they didn't negotiate away their right to franchise him again.

There's a new sheriff in town. Get with the program, or get lost. For a NFL head coach to publicly call out his player for "getting down" and "feeling sorry for himself" are pretty strong indicators this guy is not above minimal team standards and expectations, now matter how talented he may be, and will not be given an exception.
-
I don't know what the season ticket holder discount is, but can't you work with them to buy the same seats you would've gotten if you bought seasons, but in that case you're only paying for 7 games, working out to about the same price? I know you want official seasons, but if they won't do that this seems like a viable plan B.
-
The part that makes me disagree was his very last sentence, in fact his very last two words.
I could be reading into it too much but it seems like the fact that he ended on a positive note means something.
I take it as he could be a fine player somewhere, but not here if he doesn't get his head on straight, and soon!
-
And after being asked about Da'Rick, the last sentence of Marrone's presser today was:
"We just have to get it to where he’s constantly going up and he should be a fine player."
While it's far from a guarantee, it didn't sound like Marrone was contemplating Rogers not making the team.
Coach sounds frustrated with him to me, calling him out for getting down and feeling sorry for himself, unlike his fellow rookie counterparts. Unless he turns it around and shows Marrone what he wants to see, sounds to me like coach is very much contemplating cutting him.
-
Anyone else think that this is a strategic move by the coaching staff?
No, no I do not.
-
At this rate Tuel will be opening day starter.
-
If you slide a guy that had a reputation of "raw and not an nfl talent"coming out of college in there, its possible other teams think "well I guess our evaluation is right"
That's not to say no ones ever been picked up at that point...
The point being they at least acknowledged the guy was cut and either correctly or incorrectly reaffirmed their initial evaluation. They most certainly do not "ignore" other teams cut lists.
-
And you are aware that even the 5 man cut down puts 155 players from other teams on the market that may be playing better in practice than projected from their college evaluations? Yet alone the 700 to hit the market on nearly the same day at the end of camp and weighing them against the prospects you kept... With very little new film sometimes guys slip through the cracks.
The statement that was made was that teams may "ignore" that first cutdown to 75. I don't think so.
And should we think TJ Graham is a lock? This staff has no allegience to him and Goodwin fill that roll anyway...
Uh, yes? The guy is really taking that leap in his 2nd year and will be part of the core WR group.
-
Jasper wasnt believed to be a 2nd round talent who fell through the draft because of off the field issues. If a team cuts a 2nd round pick teams will notice those players and take flyers on them through waiver claims.
It is true that teams do use their first cut down time to 75 to potentially hide very raw talent because teams may pass on the cut down to 75 players and ignore than more so than the cut down of players to 53. I could see Kauffman (and a few others) getting cut after next weeks game with the plan of putting him on the PS
It baffles me to think that people believe pro sports teams ignore these transactions. You do realize teams employ full time staff to fully research and keep tabs on all players, right? They have their own scouting files from preparing for these guys coming out of college, they are fully aware of every name that gets cut and what the personnel people think of them.

Easley, Hogan and Rogers: pick two.
Actually, it's probably pick one. And I don't see how Rogers deserves to be that one. More importantly, the coaches relegating Rogers to 4th string play in games probably means he's not their first or second choice either.
-
Was I talking about trading Rogers?......No!
Either they're smart for "hiding" him according to you, or he is actually "performing" in games, again according to you. Which is it? BTW, if this is your definition of performing, feel free to raise the bar just a tad - I know the coaches are. On another side, when guys like Kaufman and Sampson are stealing your game reps, outlook not so good for your boy. Oh, the horror of "exposing" him to waivers!
-
Hasn't performed in games? Three targets, two catches, and one TD. Yeah...he hasn't performed at all.
Wow, let us know what we can get in a trade for him after "showcasing" that type of "performance"!
Da'rick Rogers cleared waivers
