I saw the Bears cut DE Claude Harriott, whom they drafted in the 5th round in a group of earlier cuts. He was a big time pass rush prospect as a junior at Pitt but go hurt and seemingly slowed down last year as a senior but might be worth giving a look. Of course he doesn't fit the current mold of high motor DEs we seem to have on the roster now.

Fred Taylor seems to have gotten past his injuries. He just finished his second straight injury-free season, one in which he rushed for over 1,500 yards. I think I'd take him. One to keep a lookout for: Kevin Jones. My brother is also in a keeper league and told me that Jones was the top pick in their draft.
Taylor's my 2nd choice behind Barlow but may not be there as there's a chance he could be kept. Kevin Jones is definately on my list but not with the top pick. Yet with the way Chris Brown been tearing it up in the preseason it made me explore my options.

I'm in a 10 team Keeper Catch Performance League (ie All TDs are worth 6 pts, Each reception is worth 1 pt and a prorated bonus on yards gained) and my draft is coming up soon and have questions on who to use the top pick on. My keepers are Domanick Davis, Santana Moss and Derrick Mason. I'm leading to taking a RB first overall and need help to choose which RB to choose.
All summer long I was eyeing Kevan Barlow with the pick. Now he has the hip injury which concerns me slighly. Now looking for help to decide whether to use the pick.
Should I take Barlow or Chris Brown, Fred Taylor, Rudi Johnson or Corey Dillon?
-
No. While they could come it up with an injury settlement Brown could not participate in meetings and supposedly that is important to coaching staff. He does not have so many skills to be useful to the team without intimate knowledge of playbook.
Besides on an injury settlement, the player can not come back until at least week 10.
Partially right, the player can not return to the team he had the settlement with until week 10, however he can sign and play on any other team before week 10.

What's a webpage? Seriously though it sounds like you want to do a blog and there's tons of site that allow you to do one unless you were thinking of doing r.rich.com. As fun as webpages are, if you want a good one, they are a lot of work.

As far as I can tell Bannan been non existant, hence listing on my cut list. The reason I see us letting PP go as he's been weeded out as Coy Wire is likely to replace Milloy the first few weeks (and then return as a backup) and Rashad Baker is likely going to backing up Reese and don't see us keeping 5 Safeties. Not to mention we might get a little cap space letting him go.

To answer the question on NFL Europe exemptions they only count from the cut to 80 to 65, once we go to 53 there are no exemptions.
So Here's my list of 15:
DT Justin Bannan
FB Joe Burns
CB Gerald Dixon
OT Jasen Esposito
WR Drew Haddad
SS Pierson Prioleau
OG Mike Pucillo
DE Constantin Ritzmann
DT Lauvale Sape
RB Ken Simonton
TE Rodney Trafford
QB Greg Zolman
WR Jonathan Smith
OT Dylan McFarland
FB Luke Lawton
PRACTICE SQUAD
QB Greg Zolman (or Brian St. Pierre)
WR Jonathan Smith
OT Dylan McFarland
FB Luke Lawton
DE Constantin Ritzmann (or DE from Other team)
---------------------------------------
CB Lawrence Richardson
S From Other Team
OG/C From Other Team

I'm pretty sure the rule states that the team that has the player on their practice squad can activate the player themselves before losing him (ie right of first refusal).
-
Aside that's been what said Mike Shanahan supposedly said that Barlow was the top back in the 2001 draft and we all know how well he's had in locating quality RBs. Right now, I'm hedging toward taking Barlow or Chris Brown as my second back.
-
Apparently you missed Buckhalter to undergo season-ending knee surgery . They have since signed Dorsey Levens but I don't think he's an answer either.
-
The Eagles are definately a team that looks to be going for it all this year. Though I'm not sure Westbrook is strong enough to hold up for an entire season and be "the man" for their running attack. Not to mention some question marks in the secondary with the absence of Vincent and Taylor.
In terms of the Jags, who do they have at DE now that Douglas and Brackens are gone?
-
Hopefully Troy Vincent can help lure Douglas here as well. Though the only thing about Douglas is I don't want to over spend on him as Ryan Denney had the same amount of sacks as Douglas had last year.
-
I think people are actually confusing RJ with Jim Miller, who replaced RJ in Tampa and suffered from a rotator cuff injury. If Miller were on the open market I wouldn't mind bringing him in but it looks like he could end p as either the Patriots 2nd or 3rd stringer.

President of the Flutie Haters checking in. BTW Just say no to Rob Johnson too.
In terms of term it was Flutopians and/or Flutie Flakes.

Flutie's not going anywhere, the Chargers need someone to mentor their promising QB of the future named Drew Brees err I mean Phillip Rivers. I mean the Bills would never be so lucky to have a guy with Doug's leadership skills to help develop Rob Johnson err I mean JP Losman.
In just having him join the team it would start another media circus, we're all tired of a preseason RB contreversy I can only imagine a regular season one. I can see it in November "election" posters for the "Bledsoe and Henry" vs "Flutie and McGahee" or whatever combination.
Come on people look at Doug's track record and the QBs taht followed him, almost all have been pretty bad and do we want that to happen to JP losman. IS this Doug's fault? possibly no but it seems a strange coincidence.
-
I respect Phill as he one of the brighter announcers but I still think our defense is as good/if not better then last years (of course if Milloy is out for a serious amount of time that might bring us down a notch or two). You have to think the offense has to improve as there's no way I see Drew repeating a 11 TD season, if Moulds can stay healthy he should have at least 15-20 which could bring us to 8-8. If the O-line can come together 10-6 is still realistic.
-
As mentioned in an earlier thread when discussing apossible replacement for Losman I'm hoping Brian St. Pierre gets cut by the Steelers as think he'd be a solid 3rd string/emergency QB. As he'd be familiar with Mularkey and Clements system but with Brown down I have serious questions that St. Pierre could be a 2nd string guy and looking down the list Shane Matthews is the only guy I'd consider.
-
In a word, NO!
-
Agree on putting JP on active but prefer someone like Brian St. Pierre on the Practice Squad. For those that don't know St. Pierre, he was a 5th Round pick by the Steelers last season out of Boston College. He will likely see the door from Pitt since they drafted Big Ben and they are looking at Kurt Kittner to be their 3rd string QB because of an injury to Charlie Batch.
-
My guesss is the Bills are letting these guys now so they can try and get a shot elsewhere. Yet at the same time may be bring in a player or two to try and use in the Indy game and possibly the preseason finale against Detroit.

The player you're referring to is Jimmy Williams, who's currently the 49ers nickel back. Prior to that he was a pretty nifty return man.
