Official thread for NFL cuts as teams reduce their rosters to 53 by 9/4.

**Reaper16** · 09-05-2010, 02:25 PM

Bills claimed Urbik. Their entire line is filled with guys a lot of us liked coming out of the draft.

Sunuvabitch.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 09-05-2010, 02:40 PM

For a front office that has always lauded its activity, they sure are reticent to sign young players cut from more talented teams than our own.

He was a 7th rounder, mainly because he's got alligator arms.

He's bounced around and will likely never play for an NFL team.

I mentioned Urbik's problems either in this thread or a related thread.

Apparently, he never "got it" in Pittsburgh, so much so that the debated cutting him last year.

That being said, Pittsburgh's been extremely sub-par in recent years when it comes to offensive line play and personnel evaluation.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Larry Asante in this thread.

I thought he was a fan favorite?

Pete Carroll and the Seahawks again: Seattle's coach must stop the bleeding on the offensive line. While it was a nice move to pick up Stacy Andrews from the Eagles for a seventh-round pick, the trade is going to lead to the departure of right tackle Sean Locklear, who, according to multiple sources, is being shopped in a trade and isn't expected to be around by opening day. Left tackle Russell Okung is out with an ankle injury and is questionable for the opener. The left guard job is open and now the right tackle job is in flux.

NFL Network's Mike Lombardi is "hearing" that the 49ers will waive Nate Davis "within the next hour."
Coach Mike Singletary made no small deal of Davis' lacking work ethic in the preseason, despite promising performances. The 49ers may have their eye on a punt return candidate. Kyle Williams (toe) won't be ready for Week 1.

SIGN HIM NOW!!

The Broncos cut DE Le Kevin Smith and signed DT Kevin Vickerson today.

booger · 09-13-2010, 02:56 AM

thought i'd dump this in here. read somewhere on the net today that Philly had offered GB a sixth for jason spitz, the C/G backup for GB. They declined and kept him for depth. Today philly lost starting C jamaal jackson for the year. McGlynn has looked good enough and they have Cole and Jean-Gilles for inside depth. They also lost leonard weaver their starting and only FB on the roster for the year.

Wonder if we offer up castille or more likely cox and possibly Niswanger for picks?

on the flip side it is nice for depth with Rudy but if they promote Harris he can play C too and also Lem jeanPierre is on seattles PS and could be signed back.

I just see Rudy as a tradeable player since i imagine he walks next year when his contract is up unless he gets assured of a starting gig here which is doubtful. As far as FB, i could see either of KC's 2 FB's fitting their offense well. They could just as easily sign a guy like FB jason davis who was the odd man out with the jets and promote garette mills as a TE/HBack type.

Sources: Logan Mankins nixed apology

By Adam Schefter
ESPN

Two weeks before they had quarterback Tom Brady under contract, the New England Patriots nearly re-signed Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins.

But at the last moment, just when both sides thought there would be a deal, talks collapsed over an apology, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

About two weeks ago, Mankins and his agent Frank Bauer arrived at the Patriots training facility in Foxborough, Mass., with both sides intending and believing they would be able to hammer out a long-term deal similar to the seven-year, $56.7 million contract that Pro Bowl guard Jahri Evans signed with New Orleans in the spring.

Shortly before the deal could be consummated, the Patriots asked Mankins to apologize to Patriots owner Robert Kraft for comments he made in June, questioning the New England owner's integrity. Mankins did. He called Kraft, apologized and explained why he spoke out in the way he did. It was a nice conversation and it paved the way for Mankins' long-term deal to be consummated.

Then, about 90 minutes later, just before finalizing the deal, the Patriots requested Mankins issue a public apology. Not only did Mankins refuse, but he became offended, according to sources. The optimism that had been built, the momentum that the talks had generated, completed collapsed -- and even regressed.

Now Mankins no longer wants to play in New England, and the Patriots may be forced to trade him with no resolution in sight.

In an appearance on a radio pregame show, Patriots president Jonathan Kraft acknowledged that Mankins called owner Robert Kraft to apologize privately for his previous remarks on Kraft, but did not elaborate on the details of this report, saying he had not read it.

Kraft did say that the Patriots offered Mankins a contract that "compared to the other top guard contracts stacks up favorably." The sides have a difference of opinion, however.

Kraft said the team would still be open to having Mankins return on his restricted free-agent tender offer. Mankins has refused to sign his $3.26 million tender offer from the Patriots.

"We'd love to have him back," he said. "He's a great football player."

Mankins, a two-time Pro Bowler, would have been an unrestricted free agent under the rules of the last collective bargaining agreement. However, when the owners opted out of the deal, triggering 2010's uncapped year, only players with six years in the NFL gained unrestricted status.

A trade will not be easy. Any interested team would have to satisfy the Patriots' and Mankins' wishes for compensation. One might be easy; two would be extremely difficult.
