BuffaloBob Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 It makes me wonder if they intend to possibly fill this position with someone cut, or if they bring back McKenzie at the vet min (if he was not there already). Or will they slide someone over from the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailog80 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Regan Upshaw cut today by Washington. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical TBD Guy Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 It makes me wonder if they intend to possibly fill this position with someone cut, or if they bring back McKenzie at the vet min (if he was not there already). Or will they slide someone over from the left side. 19246[/snapback] That is exactly what I was thinking. I think we are now something like $2.5 million under the cap with the Gildon cut. Ritzmann is practice squad material and nothing more. If Schobel goes down to injury, kiss our pass rush goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 The Bills might want to take a look at 2nd year player Elton Paterson, although I'm pretty sure the Bengals want to sign him to their PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player on anyone's practiice squad can be plucked for a permanent roster position for any other team as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I saw the Bears cut DE Claude Harriott, whom they drafted in the 5th round in a group of earlier cuts. He was a big time pass rush prospect as a junior at Pitt but go hurt and seemingly slowed down last year as a senior but might be worth giving a look. Of course he doesn't fit the current mold of high motor DEs we seem to have on the roster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that they were only exposed to the waiver wire after they were cut and before they signed a PS contract. If what you say is so, then any talk about sneaking a player onto a PS, as some discussed regarding Jason Peters this week, was moot. But if I could pluck a player from, lessee, 8 X 31 = 248 guys on the other NFL clubs PS's at any time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 The procedure is: 1. get cut 2. clear waivers (all other 31 teams can claim) 3. sign to practice squad. Once on the practice squad, any other team can sign a player IF they put him on the 53-man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
