CommonCents Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 On September 2nd all 32 teams need to get down to 53 players, the league eliminated the first cut down date. Use this thread to list any cuts that are worth a mention and rumors of possible cuts. I will go first. Jacoby Brissett is rumored to be on the outs in NE. This is coming from a handful of local reporters and a few national guys. The Pats don't like carrying 3 QBs and apparently he hasn't taken a step forward.

Does this make him the 5th best quarterback in the AFC east now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Maybe the Bills could pick him up and trade him for a 7th in 2018 Cardale Jones 2.0 no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I still think it was stupid to eliminate the 1st cut down day. Hurts players chances to land on another roster IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I still think it was stupid to eliminate the 1st cut down day. Hurts players chances to land on another roster IMHO It also gives teams another look at a player in game situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I still think it was stupid to eliminate the 1st cut down day. Hurts players chances to land on another roster IMHO I would think that teams can cut players accordingly throughout the preseason. It would seem odd for all the teams to cut nearly half their roster all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Probably why owners voted it in Specially the Veteren Cuts. Because unless there is a MAJOR injury to fill before week 1 with the late cut day now just allows teams the ability to wait one week before signing to the non guaranteed season contract (as everyone on 53 year pay becomes guaranteed week 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I still think it was stupid to eliminate the 1st cut down day. Hurts players chances to land on another roster IMHO Not really. Pro personnel departments know who these guys are and they'll have even more game tape to evaluate fringe guys who get more reps in the final preseason games across the league.

MAJBobby Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I get why it was done to have max players available to not have to play key players in later Preseason games. But that is just as telling. Maybe should get rid of preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
