What happened to whichever Denver kicker got cut? Both of them had big legs, unless it was just the thin air.
Conner Barth got cut and then he signed with Tampa who then cut him. He was a solid kicker for Tampa a few years ago, I can't say he's better than Carpenter but because he can do kickoffs he might be better option than the Carpenter/Gay combo platter if we want to open up a roster spot.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 17m17 minutes ago
The #Seahawks traded for #Chiefs safety Kelcie McCray, giving them some depth on the back end.
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 17m17 minutes ago
Rumblings among NFL execs and agents about Kam Chancellor perhaps seeking a trade. He hasn't been granted permission to speak to other clubs
Seattle does like Buffalo RBs...Git her done Dougie
Speculation has the Giants going after Chancellor http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/09/giants_have_had_talks_with_seahawks_for_kam_chance.html

Bryce to 49ers? They just put Kendall Hunter on IR....
Keep Bryce and ship them Boobie back, As Bryce is a better RB yet Boobie is a better ST tough call of the two who should be let go.
-
Jameel Mclain cut by the Giants, I know we worked him out last year. I'm sure he might start elsewhere but he be a nice thought at backup MLB.
-
Maybe throw in a WR...
@ProFootballTalk:
Titans keep just four wideouts on their 53-man roster after cuts http://t.co/B3aTsewKSA
and the Titans have an extra 6th Rounder by trading Levitre to Atlanta. So keep Brown and just toss em Hogan for their or Atlanta's 6th.

Trading Woods would be one stupid move. Tell Rex to just coach the team, Whaley
Remember the Eagles asked for Woods or Alonzo for Shady, I'm pretty sure Whaley understands how valuable Woods is.
-
How many people are going to bring deflated balls and chuck them on the field??
I'd rather toss broken cell phones at Brady.
-
Wow, even more interesting...
Maybe he wanted to play with Garoppolo and the judge ruined his chance.
-
Doesn't surprise me teams would call about him. He's got plenty of upside and he's skilled enough to be a starter.
Valid point make they're just taking calls about him and not making them.
-
Making room for Tebow.
Why not RGIII if it's true we have over $15m in cap space?
-
What is the fascination with this O'Leary fellow? He is not good, but he seems to have a special place in the hearts of some fans. Is it an Irish thing?
I think it's because he got a higher predraft grade than we drafted him so some are holding onto the hope that he is going to be a steal. Personally I cut him and move him to the PS as think he could be a Bruce Miller tweener FB/H-back/TE that Roman liked with the 49ers.

I'm thinking that one of the considerations in the decision to release Fred Jackson was who would be active on game days. Presuming that they keep 4 RBs, if they kept Fred the 4 RBs would have most likely been McCoy, Jackson, Dixon and Williams. Like last year, they probably only dress 3 on game days, and my guess that would have been:
McCoy - obvious
Williams - #2 back and special teams contributor
Dixon - special teams and goal line runner
They may have felt that taking the PR hit and releasing him so he could latch on somewhere else vs. the PR nightmare of him not suiting up on Sundays was the lesser of two evils. This may have been the "other considerations" that they alluded to.
Boobie isn't a goal line runner but Karlos is. Look at his production inside the 20 at FSU, he was one of the best in college. That said Boobie can contribute as a ST defender but might see himself cut with the addition of Reddick. That or Reddick is the 2014 "Larry Dean".
-
Age and cash. The other guys were younger, less expensive and play special teams.
I think it was a bad move as nobody is going to replace his pass blocking, overall usefulness and leadership. People keep mentioning his speed, who cares? He was never a speed guy yet he always managed to find holes and fall forward for gains. Every team could use a guy like that, even at his age.
and Karlos Williams might be a better goal line RB than Fred.
-
Atlanta cuz I want him the furthest away that will hurt the Bills.
-
I like it respectful and proper
Thats a chef you tard. Tailors sew seams. geez. what are we going to do with you?
you are not alone my friend. may i suggest ? just let it happen...
That's all I can do.
-
How about just
"The Tailor" since he cuts and dices opposing defenses.
Cuz I hope he isn't just stringing us along. I admit am a EJ supporter and will live with Taylor as he did some good things this preseason but a little worried about him in the red zone and inability to hit any long passes downfield and few passes in the middle of the field. Yet counting on a guy with 0 NFL starts scares me,
-
Taylor made play or Taylor made offense
-
To lazy to google. Is Landry still out there in unsigned safety land? My surprise cut for us is Duke Williams
He's out there and I kinda wish we signed him that way we could keep Graham at CB.

No way is RG3 traded. His contract is terrible and he is one ACL injury from costing somebody 16.1 million.
He will be cut and have trouble finding work. Think Josh Freeman
Some team desperate for a QB (see Cleveland) could go hard after RGIII or I could see a team like Arizona pursuing him as Palmer isn't getting any younger.The Jets might be an intriguing idea too yet RGIII and the NY media might not be a good combo.
I bet Rex thinks he could make him a good QB: Ritchie, IK, his next project???
I can't see Whaley approving it as can't see him bringing in a guy like RGIII who will ruin the salary structure we've put in place.

How in the heck was Red Bryant available this late in preseason and as a player that just got picked up off the street
Go back and take a look at Red Bryant in this game.....this guy is a MONSTER.......was affecting nearly ever running play he was in.....he was straight up eating blockers and then eating ball carriers
I think Red knows how good he is and think he was looking for a chance to be a rotational guy like he was in Seattle and when we came a calling he jumped on it as it fit his needs to a T.
-
i thought Rex said Safety was the deepest position.
Isn't Urbik the backup center?
He is but I wouldn't mind finding a younger G/C option, I brought it up in the trade a WR to Green Bay thread that I'd welcome moving Thompson or Hogan to Green Bay for a guy like JC Tretter if he was available.
-
Very close competition. I give it to EJ. He has made the better throws and he is finding the end zone. Tyrod has been exciting but has not connected on any long passes. EJ has.
And one thing with Tyrod's long passes are they all seem to be down the sideline he really hasn't thrown far across the middle. I'm sure height plays part of it. I'm an EJ supporter as think he the most complete QB we have but Tyrod might get the nod since he was brought in by this coaching staff. Yet I don't think we won't see EJ at one point or another in the season as not sold on Tyrod being a long term starter.
-
I agree. Cassel seems to be scanning near-to-far, and EJ far-to-near. Tyrod is doing well, but not finding as many long balls as EJ.
It seems to me EJ is a guy that has an over the top throwing motion where Tyrod throws more dart passes. I'm sure height plays a part of it but I'm more comfortable watching EJ throw as seems more natural.
Confidence in Whaley

In the very least I'd say Whaley has shown he knows how to build a roster. Yet a lot of the picks this off season seem to also have Rex Ryan finger prints all over them, see Tyrod, some of the former Jets and even the recently added Center being a former Oklahoma player. In the very least it feels like Whaley doesn't want to cause friction with his new HC or our new HC has more say in personnel matters than our last one did.
