KDIGGZ Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Surprised (a bit) that the Ravens cut Forsett. They're pretty thin at RB going into W1. I read they plan to let him test the market and then he will probably crawl back on his hands and knees and be ok with a lower contract. Most teams already have their guy at RB (besides the Pats but I think they like the guy from Tennessee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Cecil Shorts might be worth a look, he was cut by Texans after one season to go with youth movement even though he's only 28odd man out as they are loaded at WR with young talent. He had some injury history in Jax but he can still play. Edited September 4, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 That German WR got cut from Vikes  @spotrac FWIW: Waiver claims from yesterdays NFL roster moves begin processing at 12PM EST: practice squad additions begin at 1PM EST. I'd like this kid on the practice squad. Size and speed to develop for 1 year.  Yes I suspect he will be going to Vikings Practice Squad. He really has no reason to go to another team now with American girl friend and knowing team in Minnesota unless he thinks another team wanting him has a really thin roster.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Ronnie Hillman cut by the Broncos. Better than Reggie Bush by a country mile. Sign him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Ronnie Hillman cut by the Broncos. Better than Reggie Bush by a country mile. Sign him! You are missing the value of Bush. Hes return man first, receiver out of the backfield second, RB third. They wanted a Swiss army knife player and he was the cheapest available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 You are missing the value of Bush. Hes return man first, receiver out of the backfield second, RB third. They wanted a Swiss army knife player and he was the cheapest available I don't disagree, but circumstances have changed since they signed Bush: (1) no Karlos. Who carries the load if (when?) McCoy misses some time? I don't have much confidence in Gillislee; (2) Hillman wasn't available, and is a rather unexpected cut; (3) Reggie hasn't shown any of the speed/quickness he used to have. He's 31, coming off major surgery. Hillman is just turning 25 - he was a very young draft pick for the Broncs; (4) Powell is on the roster, so there's a return man I don't think they were expecting to have.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Â Hillman is an okay back, but they do not have a need at RB. Well, that's if you believe Bush/Gillislee/JWilliams will contribute, particularly in the passing game. I'd have a lot more confidence in Hillman in that role. Anticipatory response: "But Hillman fumbles a lot, that's why the Broncos never trusted him." My answer: Hillman has fumbled on about 1.6% of his carries + receptions in his career. Bush: 1.8%.

Â Bush isn't an every down player, but he has value in certain packages and as a returner where he'll be utilized in limited opportunities. Hillman will ply his trade elsewhere.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 And if McCoy gets hurt? Â Then Gillislee/Bush/Williams get more playing time. Just like with any other team, your depth players fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Disappointed to see Jace Amaro and Justin Hunter claimed by the Titans and Dolphins. We won't know if the Bills put a claim in as both those teams are ahead of them for wire claims. The Bills are perilously lacking in talent at TE behind Clay and have only two good WRs. I can't see this offense being very good if they have any injuries at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
