RyanC883 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks for posting. Tim Graham writes some very interesting articles on the inner workings of football teams that you always wonder about but rarely get to see.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Interesting look at a thankless job by Tim Graham. Great find, thanks!
Beerball Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I wonder if a player has ever tried to hide out at a team's facility until after cuts were announced?
MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I wonder if a player has ever tried to hide out at a team's facility until after cuts were announced? HILARIOUS, " they cant cut me if they cant find me" --- !@#$ you mccargo!!! bastard!
scribo Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Tim Graham is the best writer covering football today.
Pete Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Good story. A lot of players didn't sleep well last night and will be a nervous wreck until the Turk is done doing his business. Bills cuts will be tough
MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 dwan edwards- beware!!!!!!! i was right...
quinnearlysghost88 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I can't remember if it was NFL Films, but someone was covering the Jaguars pre-season a few years back and they followed the Turk while he round up the cuts. It was really interesting and kind of sad.
plenzmd1 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 The Lions announcers had an interesting story last night on how the Lions do cuts. The highest levels do the cutting, they explain the reasons, where tha payer stands in terms of CBA status , etc. They let guys know if they are interested or not in bring them back on the PS if they are eligible.. They also do an exit physical on all players.. In all, think they said a seven page process.. Goal is to have a guy leave with the best possible taste in his mouth, as well have as much info as they can if they want to bring the player back at a later date.. Sounded like a smart idea to me.
