Notable cuts around the league

David Edwards had been a four year starter with the Rams when we added him. I think we're good at G with McGovern, Torrence, Bates and Edwards. 

Agree. Guard position on paper looks as good as it has in a couple decades. If Torrence keeps playing well and Bates slides to C next year, they will be solid up the middle for the next three years. Let's them invest in OT to replace Dawkins next year.

One thing I’ve wondered is if the Bills knew of a LB that would be cut but didn’t want to trade for him. Their actions at MLB were very odd. Maybe they knew Kirksey would be released.

Yeah. He’s tight with Poyer and Hyde. He’s probably on his Buffalo now. He’ll start week 1.

 

He’s not what he once was though. 

 

He is younger than I thought (only 30). Texans are making an active attempt to get younger. I mean he is a better veteran bet than AJ Klein I reckon.

[ColoradoBills]

Kirksey is definitely interesting.  A 1-year contract (with a void year) might be the ticket.

He’s best friends with Micah Hyde and Poyer. It would make sense. Not sure they cut AJ. Spector likely to IR.

I think Frank Gore had two Achilles injuries in college still played until he was 100 years old.

He had two ACL injuries.  Big difference.

Anyone know why Keenum left in the first place?

Wanted to be close to home.

He's not but what he is is a guy with experience at the back end of his career (read that as "shouldn't command a huge contract") and someone that Beane obviously liked before. It makes too much sense to me.

 

I also wouldn't be shocked if he is added after week 1 when vet contracts are no longer automatically guaranteed for the season.

Spector costs more to IR than to cut ($25k).  He'd pass through waivers with his total of 6 career tackles right to the PS if they wanted him there.

Kirksey hasn't played in the preseason because of a hamstring issue.  Wonder if he will be healthy to start the season.

To me this is the trade off of signing Rodgers.

 

Knight actually played pretty well at RB. Cheap contract. But no space for him after signing Cook. Much like there was no room for Moore at WR after adding Cobb and Lazard for higher salary. 

 

They have one...MAYBE 2 shots at doing anything with this roster before they have to rebuild again...with less money and less good players under cheap deals. 

No, this has to do with productivity. Knight had the chance last season to do his thing and he failed to do so, imo, so did Carter. This waiver has to do with others beating him put. Spin it however you want

Sounds good to go. Sounds like what Bean and McDermott would want to bring in.

He HAS to be an upgrade from Dodson

Oh he’s definitely an upgrade. The Texans had the 2nd pick for a reason, it’s a bad team.  It wasn’t because of Kirksey.

Do we have to wait to sign him or can it be done immediately?

I don't say this much as a Beane supporter, but Brandon needs to bring him to OBD in the next 48 hours.

He's a vet and can sign anywhere at any time.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I’m 100% convinced the Texans were trying to trade Kirksey to the Bills. He’s been out with a hamstring all camp and preseason and now gets released and is healthy?

 

mmmhmm.

[Warriorspikes51]

Kirksey   124 tackles, 3 sacks, 7 TFL,  7 QB hits, 2 INT  last season

Calm down, Jersey Mike.

I mean that tweet might as well have written by Kirksey's agent, but if he is indeed healthy it makes a lot of sense. At the very least I consider Kirksey to be a replacement level player. I can't say that for sure about our current options.
