close to the cut down time. Usually, the cuts made now, are injured players, or players who's careers are just about thru, and they are let go a little earlier as more of a courtesy to them to give them an opportunity to tryout for another team.
The players let go later tomorrow will indicate who those clubs are really hoping to hold onto somehow.
Stinks, that is why he was cut, on a team that needs TE's, so why would we sign him, he never was a very good blocker at all either. I would rather keep Donnell anyday of the week.
better in certain environments. Ballard played well in the Giants system, making several clutch catches. If the Giants think the knee is ok, I'd take him over Pascoe, assuming Hynoski is ready.
He gave up three sacks against the Skins yesterday, and was benched in favor of Mike Harris, a second-year UDFA OT...and that was after losing a starting LT spot to King Dunlap.
Full Disclosure: I mentioned Starks a few times before the draft as a player I thought the Giants might sign. Just another reason to be glad that I'm not the Giants' GM.
Marcus Trufant was cut by the Jaguars earlier today.
The handwriting has been on the wall for Michael Robinson and his $2.5MM salary. The surprise is that the front-runner for the job might be Derrick Coleman (the deaf underdog 'tweener from UCLA, not the former Net). Robinson could return at a lower salary once he gets over an illness.
We are saying to bring him in and see if he can play.
I'm still trying to figure out how we came out ahead with Bennett by coaching him up into an all-around TE, showing the rest of the league that he could catch the ball in clutch situations, and then having no way of stopping him from leaving for another team.
We got a solid year's worth of performance at a reasonable price. He got a chance to showcase his skills a little better and position himself for a payday.
Just because we didn't keep him, doesn't mean the deal didn't pan out.
just remember that these guys are just that at this point in their careers---names. The transactions to watch out for are the guys with less than 4 years of experience for the most part.
lots of careers are ending today from these lists.
Let's also hope that a trade can be made at a position where we have numbers (DTs) in order to get a player at a position of need (i.e., RB) from a team that has depth at that position. Reese has averaged a trade a year since being here.
I think Pascoe's replacement is on the roster now in Donnell. I just don't think that Donnell replaces him until next year, assuming Donnell is with the team in some capacity this year either on the 530man roster or the Practice Squad.
Problem with a thread like this, is that info is disjointed.
If it had a "up to date list" of who was cut, we could better absorb the info, at least I could..Some here did that with the UDFA lists by updating all the signed players in one column..That was tremendously helpful

At least Aaron Ross isn't alone any more.

Would Reese make another deal like that?
