Official Cuts/Practice Squad Thread

3rd round pick for the Cardinals in 2000 was cut before playing a game. He signed with the Eagles and went to a Pro Bowl

Darwin Walker...but no mention of a Pro Bowl.... I think Cards were trying to sneak him on PS, but that didn't workout.

Why? We iDL is probably the deepest area of the roster

What? A rotation iDL that plays 40% of snaps who is strictly a run stopper and is as good as he will ever be? I'd rather give the reps to Dogbe, Lawrence, Allen and Fotu.

I'm not saying the guy isn't worth a roster somewhere, but don't see the need on ours.

 

[BritCard]

Panthers released Efe Obada. Guy has some talent on the edge and would be decent depth. Has the size and athleticism to better suit stand up OLB I think.

This Streveler thing seems kinda forced imo. Kliff's offense isnt built on a mobile QB. He's not a this great passer that had a lot of success in the CFL. His athleticism isnt that much greater if at all than Hakeem Butler. Jojo Ward seems to have actually made plays in camp. And we have no real clue if he can tackle on special teams.

Seems like a Keim toy. Normal preseason and I'm not sure he's just a PS guy. Would make more sense to ease him in.

Makes me wonder if Zach Allen might be a bit on the bubble.

 

[JeffGollin]

This might shock you, but "the team" is often full of crap. How many players have hyped by the team to do nothing? I can think of a few just at CB.

Point well taken, but - all other things being equal - I'd be inclined to believe that the TEAM has better access to information and experience evaluating talent within the context of understanding team needs

Based on?

Well they do see a fit.

Dogbe hardly wowed as a run-stopper last season.

 

[Mainstreet]

Any more movement since Jace Whittaker to the practice squad?

 

[Finito]

Uh you think that article somehow supports your position? Butler didn’t get to year two. 74% of 4th round picks do. More than half make it through three years. This was a terrible pick by the front office.

like I have said over and over in this thread it doesn’t matter if he gets cut in his second year or cut in his fourth year. Finding a 4th round pick that become a key player on your team is a lot more rare than a 4th rounder that doesn’t pan out.

I love guys trying to be the smartest guy in the room when it comes to the draft.

 

[BritCard]

But Keim said they graded him much higher than round 3?

 

[az jam]

Hard to judge players cut or kept without any preseason games. Bottom line for us is just pure speculation on the reasons.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Other than Philips and Peters, the DL was all.1st and 2nd year players. Another solid veteran is a good thing.

Ok, that makes me feel a lot better. We now have several ok backups available on the practice squad that know our system.

In the trying times of Covid, where a player can be out for a game due to testing positive at the last minute, I'm taking a guy with starting experience with no question.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like adding Jace Whittaker, Jo Jo Ward and Chris Jones to the practice squad. I'm guessing it will be further revised. My understanding, four players can be protected from other teams. Maybe we will find out later who they are.

 

[JeffGollin]

Did we, in fact, also sign former Texans DE Blackson?

 

[Mainstreet]

I did find this while looking for Blackson.

[Chris_Sanders]

Butler can't even make the practice squad. 10 cent head

 

[Mainstreet]

It's about eight hours old regarding Angelo Blackson joining Cardinals 53 man roster.

I needed to put this somewhere about Josh McCown.

He's not solid though. PFF grades.

2019 - 43.9
2018 - 58.7
2017 - 64.3
2016 - 50.4

Dudes getting worse. And before you say "But PFF". You can argue details on some players, but they don't get it so wrong that good players get 43.9 grades.

I'd rather have kept Trevon Coney on the 53 who's been working in the system for a while than sign someone worse off the street with a week until the season.

Or better still Bullard. You want a run stopping interior D line with experience? Bullard knows the scheme, has played a number of snaps in it and is a similar age to Blackson.

Bullard grades

2019 - 56.2
2018 - 60.7
2017 - 66.6
2016 - 52.3

There's not a single year Bullard hasn't been better than Blackson.

I said he was dead last on the WR depth chart and the fact they signed every single other WR to the PS over him seems to agree.
