with Herman reinstated

has started the last two games so it wont be him. But seriously, does it matter? None of these guys are worth a shit.

you cut the guy who you don't have to continue to pay.

The Giants aren't going to release them in Week 3 and pay them for 15 more weeks, just to make room for Eric Herman.

The realistic candidates to be waived are Reynolds (the most likely choice), Brewer and Herman himself.

Sorry - I type slowly.

be eligible for the PS ?

requested a roster exemption for Herman.

on the sequence, cut wise.

anyone seen anything from Herman that suggests he should even be on the roster?

To ps...most likely...brewer would be the one
to cut..but he is another Reese guy

is the basis for asking for a roster exemption? What are the criteria for determining whether one should be granted?

As far as Herman is concerned, I agree that he hasn't shown much, but he is a seventh round pick in his second year. He also showed quite a lot, at least as a run blocker, in college, and was at least decent during the preseason. But it's less about Herman, and more about the others he might replace. Brewer, Brown, Reynolds, etc. have all reached their peak professionally. They aren't getting any better. Herman might not either. But he might.

If Richburg moves to his natural position, with Walton behind him, Reynolds is completely expendable. On the other hand, if Snyder or Herman (or Richburg, from his LG position) can back up Walton at center, Reynolds is the next logical cut.

There's no way the Giants consider Reynolds a better guard than Snyder. If they did, the Snyder signing would make no sense.

Reynolds is an easy cut because he has neither guarantees (unlike Jerry, Snyder and Brown) nor upside (unlike Mosley or Herman). With Brewer, it's basically a question of whether they think he can contribute this year, since he's a UFA next spring anyway.

Is Snyder still vested even though he wasn't on the original Roster? IIRC you are only owed your whole salary if you are on from the final 53.

Not the initial cut to 53.

What did Brown do this summer to make this team?

Not be Brewer, I guess.
