Not only is he not a great kick returner, most kickoffs go out of the endzone.

Depth and competition at cornerback would make better use of the roster spot.

I don't know who everyone thinks is going to come in and save the day at corner.

I would argue for Cadet's roster spot before Toon's to be honest.

Said this yesterday , i dont see what his use is. Id rather see Joe Morgan or Brandin Cooks returning kickoffs this season.

I'd rather sign LaMichael James and see what he can do in that role. Cadet is useless.

There's a shite ton of things i can't justify these first two games and Travaris Cadet is way down the fricking list.

He needs to stop taking kicks out of the endzone.

Then he would be just drinking up all the groceries on the sideline. He needs to go to free up some space to sign a defensive back

I can't justified him playing on offense. Pierre does Everything he does, except much better. Yet, he manages to get snaps.

He is basically the new version Courtney Roby. Special teams guy who provides depth at RB. If Payton insists on rotating 3 guys, we are 1 injury away from Cadet getting action at RB

Except Roby was actually really good on punt coverage.

Cadet>>>Roby on offense
Roby>>>>>>>>Cadet on ST

There's a few roster spots I struggle to justify:

Cadet....LaMichael James or Jeff Demps could probably fill his role better IMO

Meachem...Meachem is the only WR in the NFL that CANNOT catch the ball with his HANDS (which is pretty important for a WR)...If it doesn't hit his body so he can cradle it, then it's a drop!

Toon....Just another practice hero, hasn't had a whole lot of opportunities in the regular season but has blown them when he had them and has also not done much of anything in the preseason games

I know we all want CB help right now so getting rid of someone would free up a roster spot, but IDK who we would get to fill it at CB besides Champ really...IDK who else is out there

See the 2010 playoff game vs. Seattle. Ingram is already down.

What u talking about?

When Cadet got that pitch but they whistled it dead, I feel like he coulda got the first down and then some.
With Ingram out were gonna go full committee mode and prolly pass Cadet the ball some.
Lets see if he makes some plays and then judge his arse
