Going to be tough decisions

Cutting Luke Altmyer should be an easy decision. Initially, I thought he could take over the #2 qb spot.

With the number of other higher profile QBs that have already been cut, there’s almost no chance someone else will claim Altmyer.

Let him go to the PS and develop him.

My tough cuts are O’neill, Meeks, and Altmyer

Intriguing guys, but there’s only so much space

My surprise keeper is Mason Miller.

O’neil listed as cut…idk, he’s had a great camp/preseason, and by all accounts Dan loves him

That would be a surprise. My surprise keeper is Erick Hunter, but I rarely give up on my early favorites if they show anything at all.

Yes, I don’t expect it, but it wouldn’t be a total surprise.

Was it last year or two years ago where the final roster didnt hit till way after the deadline

WOAAAH

WR - Greg Dortch cut?!?

wonder if they liked Meeks and Lovett better?

There’s the first big surprise. Yeah, I’d guess Lovett has to be in now?

Woah thats a shocker!

Nick Whiteside cut. Another shocker. Dude played his ass off for preseason.

And its not like its a cap move. Dortches contract was virtually guaranteed. $1.075 guaranteed. $1.215 due. so $140k savings?

Whiteside could be a cap calculation roster move. He likely will clear waivers. Would probably be innactive on game day more often than not. They can elevate them from the practice squad a couple times early in the season if they need him.

That’s true, the starting corners will be Rock and Reed of course. Behind them, it’s dicey as hell. Right now Brakestraw is CB3? I figured Whiteside was CB3 and Brakestraw was CB4. That’s how preseason seemed to be going as well, so I am curious who fills out the CB room if not Whiteside.

Mason Miller cut.

Looks like everyone is using the Cuts begin - #53 by AlexSmithsVallet thread, I’ll jump there.
