**** off. We are talking about roster spots, not number one draft picks. If you're talking about bubble players, cutting elite special teams guys who can actually play depth roles on your team is just dumb. Sorry. The Wylie cut is fine if Chad hall is a legit depth receiver who can return punts well. I think the jalil brown cut is downright stupid. We are walking into the season with 3 corners and 6 safeties. But I guess this is where you swing in and tell me that super bowls are won by holding 6 safeties on your roster.

And no, I highly doubt this was toubs choice to cut three exceptional special teams aces in one offseason, especially after they crushed it in the preseason.

5 CBs counting the waiver claims, yo.

Cutting ST talent is always a risk, but it's not like Brown and Wylie were (presumably) studs under the old system.

I don't understand the strategy of cutting 3 exceptional gunners in one offseason. Copper, Jalil Brown, and Wylie. Don't like the move.

Fair point. I saw a report that didn't include the CB additions.

I'll wait to see how Cooper and Parker fare. Cooper is a bit intriguing, but I'm doubtful both will bring more value than Brown can bring as a special teams ace.

Brown is terrific at special teams.

I didn't defend Copper. I am defending special teams aces who can also contribute as quality depth on a roster. ROFL at people who treat bubble roster players cut 5 times from other teams as guys who are going to perform better.

Sorry, but the cuts of Javier Arenas and Jalil Brown feel more like purging Pioli players than it does moves to better the roster. Those moves are headscratchers for a team desperate for CB depth.
