http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8327050/source-seattle-seahawks-cut-kellen-winslow Looks like Seattle cutting him.

The percentages are going to be higher bacouse the draft was 12 rounds instead of 7. Even when you take into account compensatory picks and more teams you are still talking about 2 rounds less of players picked and about 4 picks less per team. The number of picks making the team is minimal...usually you slot 5-7 picks at making the team. Now with a PS you know some of the picks can get on their and develop. They also decided to do a draft combine which then made scouting and a similar measuring stick to measure players. With free agency costs are an issue. Draft picks are more important and cost effective. That is in part why Edwards got cut..besides the front switch...how much of a difference was he at $4 M vs a younger player with a much cheaper price tag. The cost savings weighed into his cut. Draft choices are cheap.

Also on branch......he is a system product. Different system he sucks. He went to Seattle in a trade and was a major bust....cut and then went back to the Pats.

If its he PS buffalo could still pull him from them to the regular Roster. He was likely brought in on their 53 man roster.

A lisfranc injury is something totally different and rare .....which is what Schaub got last year. It's easy to break a bone in the foot but those don't take long to heal. Sometimes besides a break you can have ligament/tendon tearing which will complicates things. Another serious injuries is with the Achilles. The Achilles is what got Kyle Williams last year.

No. Teams can sign anyone eligible. They would like to sign their own guys. They don't have to. There are a list of rules on players beng eligible. Generally they can do two years on thePS. Even in one year of play. A player can play two many games to be in eligible for PS. I think Michael jasper is a possibility. He got cut by he titans.

Dickerson is more of a WR than on the line TE. Then they have used spiller and smith. It sounds as if you want buffalo to go and trade for someone's starting second receiver...good luck with that. The only example of that seen was when bolden get traded by the cardinals to the ravens.

WR isn't that big of a need. Sure I see them drafting one in 2013. The top 3 picks would be qb, lb, and a position we need to replace due to UFA loss.

Brad smith is the wildcat qb/ emergency qb. The issue is with the second strng qb. Jackson will be but it will take him maybe 4 weeks to know the offense. Then thigpen gets cut.

If he is cut he gets $0. Players understand this. I'm sure the bills talked with hm about this and possibly restructured the contract.

I'm very skeptical......a foot injury causing a 10-12 week miss? Something else is going on or that time to miss.

Ricardo lockette cut by sesttle....he has 4.2 speed and 6-2 frame.

During the preseason he had njury issues throughout it whch in part affect his performance.

The issue was keeping thigpen over a 5th receiver. When TJ is up on it thigpen is cut and a WR added. It's alo posdble they wnt to use the Izr slot on brooks but he has to make it to 53 before he goes on. When he goes on a slot opens and the get another WR/TE.

Carder isnt getting cut.

The idea with the wildcat is it opens up the door for confusion if you have a WR or RB who can throw the ball which then makes the lateral/option play more dangerous. Gailey was the OC for Pittsburgh when they had "Slash" . He was a decent receiver/returner who could also run reverses and then option throw on them. The other piece of this is in the short yardage or goalline plays when you have a mobile QB who can run ithe ball himself or hand it off. There is even more confusuion if you have two player who can do this. Imagine this..... 2nd and goal from the 3 Fitz is out...Smith is in at QB...he could line up in a traditional QB role where he can throw/run/hand it off to Jackson. Lets spin this---the defense is focusing on the QB so a direct snap to the RB will confuse the defense because their instincts are to follow the qb not the ball Another wrinkle......you have smith line up in the slot and have Jackson be the only player in the backfield where he is calling the snap. The idea is you get mismatches, defensive confusion missed assignments (player is assigned to follow the QB and RB wherever they go--but which one is the QB which one is the RB). Just like with other gadget plays ---it forces a defense to play honest and not try to cheat on plays or say they will just play 8 or 9 in the box....if they then get beat they know they cant do 8/9 box again. Later when they see the same formation they are guessing the same play so they have to play for that....thus it opens up other areas of the field.

Russell Wilson starting for the Seahawks is a bad move...hear is why.... 1. Their schedule. They have a difficult first part of the season. they play 5 road and 3 home. the road are all at their division foes and at detroit and carolina. Their 3 first home games are the hardest in the NFL (Cowboys, Packers, Patriots) 2. name a rookie QB who started the teams first game and took them to a 10+ win season that wasnt Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco? 3. His confidence could be shot or a QB controversy could result. Another Strock/Woodley.... A much better situation would be for Flynn to start. When the team falls behind or struggles due the difficulty of who they play then they could put Russell in the second half of the season when the schedule is easier.

If Easily gets cut.....there is a player on the Seahawks that is borderline to make the team...his name is Ricardo Lockette...he has 4.2 speed. He is Ps eligible.

Gailey has said McGee will not get cut.

He was projected as a guard by many...plus the Browns have a LT (high draft pick)

actually if team B is playing team A the next week (it could be longer like 2-3 weeks or next game).....team B CAN NOT pull any players from team As PS.

Wrong player Kyle Moore was drafted by Tampa Bay in the 4th round of 2009...played 2009 and 2010 starting some but then got cut at the end of last yrs preseason. Lions signed him after cuts then cut him midseason....Buffalo signed him at the end of last season. Kyle Moore played for USC defense along with Bengals Manauluga and the Packers Clay Mathews...came out in 2009 draft...9 starting D-men graduated and I think many of them got draftes.

So true---me and my brother when we come back into town are amazed at the constant stories of the new peace bridge being built and the attempt to get a Bass Pro shop or soemthing else for the waterfront.
