He's gotta go through waivers first. Anyone released after the Trade Deadline is subject to waivers regardless of their accrued time in the league. That's why Ngakoue was a Waiver Claim and not a FA. The good news there is I don't know that anyone is going to take on his contract with the Seahawks, so there's a good chance he clears. Once that happens, we should be able to sign him.

Oof. Yeah, I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, i'd think him being cut and not playing the whole year will effect that. That sucks. Hell, we went from a 3rd to a 4th on Edmunds because he missed a little bit of playing time. I don't know how them cutting him midseason won't effect the pick.

Agreed on MVS. He looked awful with us. But I didn't understand releasing him when we could have released our 5th Safety (which we ended up doing anyways), our 6th LB, or our 6th Defensive End. Especially since we ended up promoting Jalen Virgil to be a 6th WR anyways in lieu of a number of injuries there.

You don't need a #1 who's going to demand the ball or be a headache like a Stefon Diggs or Davante Adams. But you need someone who is a #1 caliber WR who scares Defenses enough to focus on them. When you don't have one of those, you're hard pressed to get players like Shakir and Kincaid open.

Really wanted this one today bc worst case scenario after the KC game is we're 8-3 - which is still REALLY f'n good!

Why is Douglas and Benford regularly 3 yards away from their man on every completion?

That'd be great. But i'll take just not leaving giant holes in their zones.

Calling him up from the PS, only to make him inactive is rough.

I mean, he has been activated (alongside Tyrell Shavers) for the first time for tomorrow's game. But considering we activated Jalen Virgil multiple times and just promoted him and have activated Tyrell Shavers previously this season - it's pretty clear that Hamler was considered low man on the totem pole in our WR room.

Another Practice Squad member being promoted soon. We don't have a LB on the PS and we just promoted a WR. So i'd assume this one will be either Kareem Jackson, Kingsley Jonathan, or Lewis Cine.

He was waived and claimed by New England.

He must have really impressed them to poach him from Denver and be the first WR promoted over Tyrell Shavers without having a Training Camp or Pre-Season with the team.

It could be. But from the sound of Cooper's interview yesterday, i'd expect him to play. Coleman is worse off, but they didn't put him on IR. So it's not going to be a long period of time we're without either of them. So they could just call up either Virgil, Shavers, or Hamler for this week or next without promoting them to the 53.

Neither has Lewis Cine. But those are the Safeties on the Practice Squad. And with the open spots on the roster made at DT with IR'ing DeWayne Carter and releasing Zion Logue having been replaced by Quinton Jefferson and Jordan Phillips - i'd assume the roster spot opened by releasing Mike Edwards would be replaced by Jackson or Cine. The other option I could see is Kingsley Jonathan replacing Dawuane Smoot's spot in the DE Room. But much like I don't think 6 DT's are necessary (thus the release of Logue), I'm not sure we need 6 DE's with Miller having returned to the roster. Again, I'd think it's Safety with us having only 3 true Safeties on the roster right now.

I'd think it's Safety to replace Mike Edwards. Probably Kareem Jackson.

He will. I can't remember if he's had 1 call up or 2, but he can only be called up 3 times max during the Regular Season.

Smoot's reps will see an uptick in reps to Javon Solomon and Casey Toohill (hopefully more to the former than the latter). We also still have Kingsley Jonathan, who will probably see some call ups. As for the Tackles, one will replace Dewayne Carter's spot on the roster and the other will take Eli Ankou's place from his Practice Squad call-ups being used up or having only one more game to be called up.

Yeah, I don't think so. Neither the Phillips or the Jefferson signing have been prefaced with "Signed to the Practice Squad".

The max for the Practice Squad is 17. We're at capacity there.

It was announced 15 minutes ago. Doesn't mean he was told exactly 15 minutes ago. Could easily and likely have been told earlier in the day and the media looked into it when they saw what was floating around about him coming here. I just don't see a way that Ian Rappaport is retweeting something like that just based on the potential of the move happening on a player the level of Jordan Phillips.

Ian Rappaport just Retweeted Matt Parrino's post of it. I don't think he'd do that unless he knew it was happening.

If we're going to get a guy that has experience in our Defense, I like this idea better than signing Quinton Jefferson.

Saw it. I'd be here for it. But i'm not putting much stock in a fan account roleplaying as Chris Farley from Tommy Boy that has 4k followers that are follow for follows.

That's fair. It's just funny to me how everyone's like freaking out that he hasn't made a trade yet when in season trades aren't bountiful and he has already made one of the bigger ones this season.
