What do I win?

Am I missing another Henderson, b/c I doubt that the confirmed starting Right Tackle is about to be released. Did you mean Carrington?

That's 22, leaves them with 7 WRs but I really think Thigpen makes it because he is such a good punt returner.

I think you are real close. My guess is Red Bryant stays. I am not sure I would risk losing Matt Simms on the practice squad. If Tyrod got hurt, we would be in a real bind. Also, I think 1 of Steward and Reddick stay. We are thin at LB

I'm not worried about Simms making the P/S - Dezmin Lewis I don't think would clear waivers.

Id be tempted to sign Fred to a short term contract for Week 1, or if he doesn't get picked up put him on the practice squad. I'm a tad worried about McCoy being unable to play and having to start a rookie RB with a 1st time starter QB. Doesn't spell success. Granted Whaley may have burned that bridge, although Fred would play for the fans I'd think.

There is 21 cuts to get us through week 1 with Dareus suspension. Goodwin to IR if eligible opens up another spot. And Leodis to IR if he is still not ready for the next 4 games or so. And Carpenter is on the verge with Rex. If he is cut, and we add another kicker, that would open another spot up- see you Gay.

We are going to need another Tackle. I don't know where we will get him, but we will need one, at least on PS. I hope we can do better then just a PS OT. In your model, though, we are keeping 4 TE's, which I still find interesting.

 

In my head I cannot determine which is better. Keeping Mulligan primarily as a blocking TE who will get maybe 15 passes thrown his way at best or getting an OT like Tyson Chandler/someone else to be used as the blocking TE and maybe catch a pass here or there?

 

If it was not for McKelvin we would have it much easier, cutting one of the CB's and going for either that OL or Carrington/Fluellen/Groves. Then again, 7 WR's are on your list.

 

The whole Carpenter thing, I want to sleep on it.

So my cuts - it is difficult because I am not 100% sure on injury statuses of a number of players but here goes:

 

20 full cuts

 

Matt Simms QB (possible PS contender)

John Connor FB

Bronson Hill RB

Cierre Wood RB (possible PS contender)

Andre Davis WR (possible PS contender)

Dez Lewis WR (possible PS contender)

Tobias Palmer WR

Nick O'Leary TE (possible PS contender)

William Campbell G

Dalton Freeman C

Darryl Johnson T

Alex Kupper G

Andre Fluellen DT

BJ Larsen DE

Quentin Groves LB

Randell Johnson LB

Jonathan Meeks S

Merril Noel CB

Dan Carpenter K

Jordan Gay KOS

 

1 Injured Reserve

 

Tony Steward

 

1 Injured Reserve - designated for return

 

Marquise Goodwin

 

1 Post week 1 cut

 

Alex Carrington

 

-----------------------------------

 

This actually cuts 23 leaving me with 52 players (plus Carrington for week 1) but I think we cut both kickers and try and sign one guy who can do both jobs. Rex sounded like he had had enough last night and I think both feel the axe. I am heading towards Cassel surviving and I think there is a real chance that they keep 5 out and out receivers plus Easley and Thigpen for special teams value given that they cut the extra kicker.
