Not going to go through and list every one. I'm sure someone will tweet a comprehensive list. If there are notable ones I will post them.

So far, James Burnip and Seth Green were released.

According to Underhill, only 24 of 800+ released players have been claimed off waivers.

That player you love isn't valued across the league, so don't be upset if he's gone. The likelihood of him returning on the PS is very high.

Cam Akers
Could also be one of those cuts to save on cap by having a rookie/2nd year contract guaranteed over his.

But in his case it's probably because he didn't show anything.

CEH might also get cut, but I fully expect him back if so.

CEH is done

The Chieves had one of the worse RB corps last year, and even they wanted nothing to do with Clyde

Maybe we pick up another vet, but if not we'll see one of CEH or Akers on the roster. We are keeping at least 3 and maybe 4 backs on the roster (especially with no FB, 4 is very likely), so there will be a vet in addition to Kamara and Miller. The rook might make the roster just by default.

Welch got cut, that is sort of a surprise.

I think the chances of getting him back after waivers is better than getting back 6'8" Matavao. I just hope we aren't letting him walk to keep an extra RB or aging D lineman. I hate that the eventual return of Foster M/ Taysom is going to prevent us from keeping some of these guys.

We had maybe 3-4 nice offensive plays during preseason and Welch made two of them. Who earned a spot, if not him?

Kamara/ Miller/ Neal/ Velus Jr would make the most sense. You have Taysom back eventually as well for TE/ RB/ QB. If we aren't keeping less of those guys because we have Taysom then we shouldn't keep Taysom. I think the people who want us to keep 5RB are bat shite crazy, its just a complete waste of roster spots. I personally don't even think we should waste a 4th spot on Velus JR but he apparently is a great special teams player.

They may have some idea of TEs getting cut on other teams.


Rico Payton cut, thought he had an outside chance to make it

Exhibit A. They definitely put in a waiver claim here

D'Marco Jackson - cut
Kevin Austin- cut
Marcus Yarns- cut

Landon Young- IR
John Ridgeway- IR

Hoping Pettis/ Cedrick Wilson Jr/ CEH are soon. I'd imagine some of these extra D lineman, O lineman, and D backs are next.
