Figurs is a bit of a shocker. I'm pretty sure Oakland is gonna pick him up soon.

I don't really find it a shocker. I think Last year hurt him and being out of camp a little bit with injury's but oh well, There's 31 other teams that might see him as a valuable asset.

[Alexir]

Don't want to sound like a complete idiot but what is the difference between cut and waived. Is waived for veterans who go on the waiver wire and cut is for rooks who can be picked up by any team at any time?

So, they havent pulled the plug on Riley yet?
[/quote]

Not to my knowledge and I think he might go on the practice squad. I think they liked the way he pushed for that touchdown. We shall see.

The only shocker is that we cut Figurs, Foster and Harper when we have no depth at WR....god i hope this doesnt turn into a brandon marshall thread [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I thought he was cut during the 5 man cut last Tuesday...

I'm not surprised by Figurs, after his sub-par season last year he needed a great preseason, and instead he got outplayed both in the return game and at receiver. Harper's a bit of a surprise, but the guy was a pretty big project anyway.Probably means we'll go after Tyree or Brown.

If you waive somebody, if no other team claims them, then they go to the practice squad. Being cut is like saying screw you, go somewhere else.

I'm shocked about Harper and Foster, I mean I know they dropped a lot but they also made a lot of catches and didn't look bad in pre-season. Idk, I guess we have plans to bring someone in but they were young and could develop into something big.

[Alexir]

Also, unrelated but Redskins just cut Chase Daniel which is weird because Colt Brennan is on IR...leaving them just JC and Todd Collins.

They're looking at the wire for a vertern. We got Mason, Clayton, Washington, and Williams right now. That's four so I think we should suspect someone who is a proven veteran to come in.

I'm looking at whose getting cut from the other teams O-line's. That to me is a dire need in depth.

The top 4 wideout slots are all solidified. We are looking for 1 maybe 2 more guys. We can pick someone better then Figurs, Foster and Harper up to be the 5th wideout.

I know, with Harper, Figurs, Foster and Riley cut, that leaves Mason, Clayton, DWill and Washington.

Gotta believe the FO is eyeing someone from another roster.

YES! Thank GOODNESS we cut Figurs and Harper. I'm so ecstatic about our Front Office right now. Let's keep RILEY please!

That was Biren Ealy. Riley had some pretty decent grabs vs. Atlanta late.

PFT's comment on Harper getting cut:

"Harper offers an excellent size-speed combination, so he may generate interest on waivers."

Of course, they also added:

"But the athletic 2008 seventh-round pick's role diminished late in the preseason, with the Baltimore Sun noting that Harper appears to "[b]drop as many passes as he catches[/b]."

Yeah I was real confused why the got kicked to after that then I realized it was a 2pt pick and not a pick 6. Either way Ohio State is no longer 6th ranked, they will probably move to atleast 9.

How is it unexpected

[Ngata Chance]

Too bad, I was pulling for Cook to make the team. We had Lo-Neal blocking for Le-Ron last year. I thought this kid looked good as a pure blocking FB.

[Alexir]

I am surprised none of the RBs have been cut yet.

[RoflDogs]

Lol, I though this topic warranted another thread, but guess not


Harper has been cut

In 30 minutes, we should know the entire list... I'm guessing Cook, Lawrence & Parmele say goodbye, and they carry only 3 RBs (Rice, McGahee, Peerman) and McClain.

You don't need a 5 headed monster...
