Is there a reason why we've left a roster spot open?

Anakim : 6/9/2018 12:14 pm
Just curious. Obviously this organization is going through a lot with the recent diagnosis of DG, but it's been five days since we opened up a roster spot. Is there a reason why we're taking so long? Maybe it's nothing unusual, but I can't recall an instance off-hand where we didn't sign or claim someone within a couple of days of opening up a roster spot.



Anyway, just curious. I'm hoping for Tre Boston!




And this thread popped into my mind because I had a very lucid dream a few days ago that we signed Greg Robinson...and I was excited at first, but then I remembered he's been in the NFL for a few years now and he's been absolutely terrible. I know, cool story, bro.

Free agent RB Orleans Darkwa had minor surgery this morning to remove the plate in his leg he had inserted last offseason, Im told. X-rays confirmed the fractured healed in full & his doc recommended removing the plate that limited his explosiveness. Should be good in 4 weeks.

There's a few DRC threads

I think if it stays open past mandatory OTA's, it's DRC.
Although it's not exactly the biggest issue facing the team...

...you would think they'd want a full roster for mini-camp. Wasn't the official explanation of waiving Perkins that they needed every roster spot?

True Phil in LA, quite true. Honestly, the 54 - 90 players are probably all close in talent from team to team.

Occasionally you get a UDFA that shines (WR V. Crus, OG Norwell) and performs well above expectations but for the most part, you try and put together a practice squad where guys can step up and in should the need arises due to injury.
Maybe "we're" working on something.

And maybe "we'll" let you know when there's something to know.
Probably not a whole lot of urgency to

fill a roster spot over 5 days when 4 of them are days off between OTA's and mini camp
