Second Cut to 53 [Plus Practice Squad, Signed McClover]

[Mike]

I was glad to see Petey compete last night. He tackled and covered, even though it was against back-ups, you need to start to rebuild confidence somewhere.

I think Washburn is a canidate to be cut. We can't keep that many OL. I would have not relaeased maddox and kept a scrub OL.

Totally agree, this maybe be the game that gets his confidence going and be the player we thought he would be (like the game against the Colts a few years back).


I am totally pissed we didn't cut C. Brown.

Anyone else find it odd that Bulman is still listed on the roster and depth chart at the official site.

He didnt get cut.

Although I am pissed we didn't cut Brown, I don't think we can because he's injured. How does that rule work?

The way that I understand it is that before a team can cut an injured player, they have to negotiate an injury settlement based on how many weeks the player is expected to be unable to play. For example, if the team and the player agree that he'll be out six weeks, the team owes him six weeks of salary. The player can then sign with another team, but can't re-sign with the team that cut him until after the time covered by the injury settlement (six weeks in the example). If they can't agree on a settlement, I don't believe the team has any option other than putting him on IR where he doesn't count against the roster but still gets paid for the whole season.

I am little shocked that we cut Maddox, and Fletcher.
