Texans Shane Boyd (QB) cut. - crappy QB who was a disaster in NFL Europe surprised he lasted this long.

 

Cheatalots Steve Fifita (DT) cut. - surprised to see him cut was an outstadning DL in NFL Europe with the Rhein Fire, started for the Dolphins all of last season (wonder how that looks on your resume, started all season for the 2007 1-15 Dolphins). Should make a good rotation DL.

 

Ravens Casey Bramlet (QB) signed. - lol they must be looking for the next Hamdan, well Casey is a nice guy but nowhere near the class of Hamdan. Bramlet was the NFL Europe Worldbowl MVP in 2007.

Jesse Chatman, RB, signed by Jets and just released. He torched the Bills last year while with the Fins. Of course he'd take Omon's spot and you risk losing him trying to sneak him onto the PS.

 

But a curious move for the Jets. Thomas Jones looks done, they have no one else, and the Jets' O-line still looks suspect.

They prolly brought him in for a look, and will sign hm to their PS if he makes waivers.

Hmm sounds like a stretch look then, if a guy is brought in that late he'll need a miracle to make the team.

Most players brought in this late would be behind the 8-ball in terms of learning the schemes.

STEELERS SHOPPING LINEMEN?

Posted by Mike Florio on August 30, 2008, 12:14 p.m.

As they ponder their final roster cuts, the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly are pondering the possibility of shipping one of their backup offensive linemen out of town via a trade.

 

Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers are considering trading tackle Max Starks, center Sean Mahan, or tackle Trai Essex.

 

The mere fact that Starks would even be close to the trading block highlights the poor decision to use the transition tag on Starks, which gave him a guaranteed salary of nearly $7 million this year. For roughly $500,000 more, they could have forced Alan Faneca to stay for another year — or at least have gotten something for him in trade from a team like the Jets.

 

Mahan was the starting center in 2007, but lost his job to newcomer Justin Hartwig.

 

Meanwhile, the Steelers already have decided to release receiver Willie Reid and return specialist Eddie Drummond.

 

 

Thought that was interesting...

Texans release S Glenn Earl.

 

I don't know if he's completely healthy now or not, but if he is I'd absolutely love to see that guy in a Bills uni. I'm guessing he's not or the Texans never would have released him.

Williamson, Jones not among 19 released by Jags

Posted: August 30th, 2008 | Adam Schefter | Tags: Jacksonville Jaguars, roster cut-down

 

Sometimes it’s not who a team cuts that’s newsworthy; it’s who they didn’t.

 

The Jaguars didn’t cut wide receiver Troy Williamson, nor did they cut wide receiver Matt Jones. Williamson was impressive during OTA’s and minicamp, but struggled some this summer. But he produced in the preseason finale, catching four passes for 84 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown. That catch likely saved his job.

 

Jones’ status was not in question during camp but rather before it.

 

Two weeks before training camp, an Arkansas police offer spotted Jones in his car allegedly cutting up cocaine wit a credit card. Jones was charged with possession of cocaine. He now faces an Oct. 10 trial date — two days before Jacksonville plays Denver -– as well as jail time.

 

Yet the Jaguars never have wavered in their support for Jones, as a person and player. Whereas some thought he would struggle to make the roster, Jones has played well enough to win a starting job this summer. The Jaguars are fully aware they could lose Jones later this season but they also recognize there’s nothing they can do except allow the legal process to take its course.

 

The Jaguars did release 19 players Saturday as well as place two players on the Physically Unable to Perform list in DB Chad Nkang and DL Jeremy Mincey.

 

DT Jonathan Lewis was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury suffered in the preseason finale at Washington.

 

Included in Saturday’s cuts were six veterans: QB Todd Bouman, RB Ciatrick Fason, LB Tony Gilbert, DT Jesse Mahelona, DE Kenny Pettway and DE Bo Schobel. Also waived was fifth-round draft pick DB Trae Williams and 12 other first-year players: TE Chris Brown, DE Mkristo Bruce, OT Andrew Carnahan, TE Charles Davis, CB Isaiah Gardner, CB Michael Grant, WR Ryan Hoag, G/OT Pete McMahon, C/G Drew Miller, CB Rashod Moulton, LB Lamar Myles and WR D’Juan Woods.

The 49ers waived seven veterans, eight first-year players and six rookies.

 

The 49ers waived veterans DT Atiyyah Ellison, LB Dennis Haley, WR Ashley Lelie, FB Moran Norris, DT LaJuan Ramsey, T Alan Reuber and T Joe Toledo.

 

The 49ers waived first-year players RB Thomas Clayton, CB Markus Curry, DT Walter Curry, WR Robert Ortiz, T Chris Patrick, WR Jerard Rabb, P Ricky Schmitt and WR Dominique Zeigler.

 

The 49ers also waived rookies WR Cam Colvin, G Brian de la Puente, TE J.J. Finley, LB Larry Grant, DE Louis Holmes and S D.J. Parker.

Ravens’ Martin suspended; Baltimore cuts 19

Posted: August 30th, 2008 | NFL.com Staff | Tags: Baltimore Ravens, roster cut-down

 

The NFL has suspended Ravens CB Derrick Martin without pay for the team’s first regular-season game and fined one additional game check for violating the NFL’s Substance Abuse Policy.

 

Martin is the second Ravens player suspended for the team’s Sept. 7 game against the Bengals. CB Fabian Washington was suspended Aug. 1 for violating the league’s Substance Abuse Policy.

 

A suspended player does not count against a team’s roster.

 

Additionally the Ravens waived 19 players: TEs Adam Bergen and Keith Heinrich, QB Casey Bramlet, defensive linemen Darrell Campbell and Lorenzo Williams, WRs Patrick Carter, Justin Harper, Matt Willis and Ernie Wheelwright, Gs Adrien Clarke and Adam Kraus, DT Amon Gordon, RBs Alex Haynes and Allen Patrick, LBs Robert McCune and Gary Stills, Ts Joe Reitz, and CBs Ronnie Prude and Chad Slaughter

 

The Ravens have also placed the following players on Injured Reserve: CB David Pittman and RB Cory Ross.

 

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said that with the two suspended players, the team is down to 52 players and will add one player before the season-opener against Cincinnati.

 

 

 

Texans put Brown on injured reserve

 

Posted: August 30th, 2008 | Adam Rank | Tags: Houston Texans, roster cut-down

 

The Texans have placed running back Chris Brown on injured reserve, putting the team at the 53 player limit. Brown, 27, has battled a back injury through training camp after signing a two-year contact in the offseason with the Texans.

 

Brown was a third-round pick of the Titans in 2003 and spent five injury-plagued seasons in Tennessee. Brown rushed for a career high 1,067 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2004. He appeared in 12 games and made only one start for the Titans in 2007, rushing for 462 yards with 5 touchdowns.

 

The Texans released Roosevelt Colvin and Marcel Shipp on Friday.

If the Bills were in need of a RB, Thomas Clayton would be a very good choice.
