2015 Cuts Tracker

Jah Reid was cut by the Ravens on Saturday and now has signed with the Chiefs after clearing waivers

[DomMcRaven]

I think The Ravens should find a running back or cornerback with return ability but considering that Perriman situation is still unclear it has to be some what concerning for The Ravens to not have any form of speedy receiver to use. Harbaugh already stated he has no clue when Perriman will be able to practice again and that in my opinion is concerning.

Tbh, I'd rather he say he has no clue than tell us that he'll be ready for said date and we're still waiting on him when that time comes.

Agreed, no need to put unnecessary pressure on the kid by saying he's expecting him back by a certain date. Perriman will most likely be back in the first couple weeks of the regular season when he feels confident running/cutting on his knee. I would be extremely surprised if he plays week 1.

That's good for Reid. Gets a fresh start and a guaranteed base salary to boot.

I don't understand why they kept Reisner

[stampedehero]

Does anyone else hate the idea of IRDR'ing Urban? He's played in no preseason or NFL games, as far as I know. They're going to use their one tag for a player who has yet to play a single snap in a game when there are chances of more important veterans getting injured? What if Jimmy got hurt again? Or someone of that magnitude? It'd look real dumb. I'd rather keep him on the active and cut McClellan

I agree with you about Urban 

[Runnin Raven]

Looks like a lot of guys are getting a shot with another team.  Really hate to have wasted a 5th on Myers, but hindsight is 20/20.

 Carl Davis, Breshad Perriman, Zadarious Smith, Nick Boyle, Max Williams, Buck Allen and Darren Waller, all from the last draft and all of them on the 53 man roster.  I'd say that's pretty darn good.

While I agree with everything you said, my previous statement also applies to any player on this team who is out with an injury over an extended period of time (i.e. Jimmy Smith last season). But back to Perriman, I'd be shocked if he plays week 1 as well. Hopefully he can make his debut between game 4-7 (or 8). 

[sflegend89]

Steelers draft class looks like a disaster right now. Bud Dupree has been very underwhelming, Golson they reached on because we snapped up Maxx from under them and he's on season ending IR with a torn labrum making his already uphill battle of justifying a 2nd round selection even tougher, they cut 4th round pick Doran Grant who many in Pittsburgh feel didn't get a fair shake and got many positive reviews from media members throughout training camp, they cut 6th round pick Anthony Chickillo, and cut 7th round pick Gerod Holliman. 5th round pick Jesse James, their Maxx Williams back up plan has been a massive disappointment to top it all off.

 

I have never seen a team's draft class take such a massive nose dive in just a few months.

Hopefully it's in the week 3 - week 5 range. This offense really needs him on the field even if it's as more of a decoy at first. Having a guy with that kind of speed on the field keeps the safeties from cheating up to help in run support or crash down on short/intermediate routes. When a guy like Perriman or Torrey is on the field the first thing in every safety's mind is "Don't let him get behind you".

I agree bit i dont think the offense "needs" Perriman on the field. Having him on the field will take the offense from good to explosively great imo but he's not a need right now.

I didn't look at performance as much as the offensive concepts this preseason. Trestman will take this offense to the next level with creativity. As plain as the game plan was in the preseason you could still see some of the creativity Trestman will bring. I think Trestman's creativity will be more then enough for the offense to have success against most if not every defense on the schedule but like you said having a guy like Perriman who can attack every level of the defense will take the offense to thw next level imo.

All haven't played a regular season snap yet, hard to tell whether we did good or bad at this point.

  I agree.  I was just trying to put a bright spot on a previous post concerning hindsight about our picks, but I see you point.

Yeah that is fine, every team has draft picks they regret so if anyone is saying Ozzie is losing it over this, well yeah lol

Excellent point my friend.  It says a lot for the guys we've drafted (this year and prior) that other teams are scooping them up.

Anyone talking Trindon Holiday?  He was cut a bit ago and is still looking for a team.  Any Ravens fan knows he's a scorcher.  However, he'd have to carry 7 WRs to sig him, because I doubt he's as good of receiver as anyone we havw now.

I remember in years past that some Steelers fans saying that they had a better FO than us. Heck, just a couple of days ago, I was talking to a Steelers fan about this upcoming season and he actually thought the Steelers defense is more talented than OURS. Good times.

[Willbacker]

I had a feeling Myers would get picked up on waivers if we cut him... oh well doesn't feel like it will come back to bite us. We probably reached on him, is that the first time in the franchise's history that a 5th round pick was cut? Ozzie and Eric rarely flub a draft pick this bad but it seems like they got over zealous on Myers. We did great at OL in the 5th round last year with Urschel.

 

At least it's not as bad as the Steelers cutting a 4th round pick. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come from this year's draft class, way more mid round picks around the NFL got cut this year than I ever remember seeing. Usually they get the benefit of the doubt in year 1 just based off the investment the team made in them.

An earlier poster brought up Davon Drew who was a 5th rd pick in 2009. Did I tell ya or did I not tell ya  Myers didn't cut the mustard but ya know.......

Since he hasn't practiced since the 1st day of training camp no way. Gotta show he can run at full speed and make precise cuts but we do need a deep threat to open up the underneath

 

I don't understand why they kept Reisner

He's been IRd. No big deal.

So far the only one who has really stood out is Davis. I'm concerned about Allen being our only backup RB.Regardless he's getting some carries early on.

Thats a tsunami,earthquake,tidal wave,tornado all wrapped up in one. Thats a good thing.

 

One last request from everybody. Can we please stop calling Taliaferro LT. Staaaaaaap!!!

[sflegend89]

I think Jeremy Ross might be the better option because he can actually play some WR and return kicks.. as we all know the more you can do the better chance you have of getting a spot on the roster. Tough sell on Holliday because he's useless on offense. Ross at least brings a Jacoby Jones-esque level of low end offensive ability, he's not a guy that will play a lot of snaps on offense but he can catch a pass here and there.. certainly a lot more useful than Holliday who would never get on the field on offense. If you are going to make him active to return kicks at least you can get some burn out of Ross at WR in certain situations.

 

Ross had a 59 yard reception last year, not too shabby

I prefer to call Lorenzo, Zo but I don't know if that's offensive to Alonzo mourning fans.

The most overrated tandem for drafting are Cobert and Tomlin. They stink to high heavens!

Well they obviously have a lot of faith in his abilities. I mean we haven't seen him play but they've watched him practice for two years (until he got hurt) up against maybe the starting OL. Maybe he's just a guy waiting for a chance to actually get on the field and dominate.

Well Ross what just added to the PS today.  Maybe they put Perriman on the IR DFR and activate Ross now.

Perriman on the IR DFR? That would be a shock and a horror. 

[Tenacious Faulker]

Perriman on the IR DFR? That would be a shock and a horror. 

Why?  They went from a bone bruise - out for a few days to OS out until week 1 and now to PCL out until October.  Maybe to see if they need to use it on Perriman. I wouldn't be shocked if it happened at this point.  Brent Urban is being held off it now for some reason. 

[Ravensfan23]

Perriman on the IR DFR? That would be a shock and a horror.

I don't think it'll happen. The Ravens would lose Perriman for 11 weeks including the bye. I don't think they make that move unless they know it's not chance of him being ready over the first 10 weeks or so.

Why? Because I'm not viewing his being out for a minimum of 8 weeks as being a good thing.

 

No one (aside from Hensley, who knows no more than you or I) has stated he's out until October. I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility that he's back for week 3 or 4. That would also be us admitting that Urban has no hope of returning this year ... so that is 2 bad signals out of that move. 

 

Not saying it isn't possible, just that it would be pretty bad news.
