Official 2023 Roster Cuts News & Speculation Thread

[MartinC]

Haven’t seen anything on Brycen Tremayne yet. It would be a surprise if he makes the 53? 

 

I think we have Terry, Dotson, Samuels, Brown, Pringle, Tinsley, Milne and Tremayne still on the roster at receiver right now. Can’t see us keeping more than 7.

With the exception of Patterson, I understand many of the cuts. However, WHAT IS THE FASCINATION WITH MILNE? He's slow on returns and has a terrible case of the alligator arms. Not a fan.

I hope Tremayne beats out Pringle.

He's 6'4 and only 23....Pringle is 29. Let Tremayne grow with Slingin Sammy.

Ball security.  Zero lost fumbles on 77 opportunities last year.  12th in yards per return, not terrible.  But I get it, he looks to be nothing special and they would probably like to replace him if they found someone with more juice that they can trust.

@kingdaddy that is awesome how you responded to a post, and then right below responded to your own response.   I don't think I've ever seen that done before lol.

Milne is boring. Unexciting. Non-game breaking.

 

But he's reliable and available.

 

I don't think his inclusion, should he make it, should be shocking to anyone. 

[CobraCommander]

There's always one or two guys on the roster people can't wrap they're heads around. In the past it's been Cam Simms and Troy Apke to name a few. Generally, it's someone with Special Teams value.

He’s the ultimate jack of all trades master of none. He gives you adequate - but reliable - punt returning and can cover all 3 receiver spots on a game day active roster. He just doesn’t do any of those roles particularly well. He’s a useful back of depth chart utility player.

Theres always that one player everybody doesn't like, feels should be cut but somehow sticks around for years baffling the greatest minds on ES...apke...Doughty....milne...

 Talk about a low bar …

Did Kazmeir Allen play his way off the roster this week?  He looked so promising leading into the Bengals game.  I thought he would be a lock as a return guy with home run potential, then all of a sudden he developed jello hands.

 

Too bad - but understandable - cutting Patterson.  Easy to root for, a great underdog story, and a local guy to boot.

It matters. If Howell or Brissett go down, you don’t want a Garrett Gilbert situation where you bring in a guy who doesn’t know the offense

If Fronm gets picked up we're not waiting until one of the others gets hurt to sign someone to the practice squad. We're  getting another guy out of the cuts and your concern is only an issue if they go down immediately

Yep. He dropped two passes, muffed a punt (which he recovered) and took a fair catch on a punt on his own 5 yard line. 

 

He picked the worst possible time to put in a stinker.

I just saw that Jamison Crowder got released by the Giants?  Punt returner?

 

Even at a shell of his former self, I think I'd take him over Milne.

Your PS QB will get basically zero practice reps. Bringing someone else in is not impossible at all - and in fact it’s something I have advocated for given when I see as the low ceiling for Fromm - but its not easy for them to pick up the system and get any comfort in the offense at this point of the year compared to a guy who has been here right through the offseason program and played well in preseason.

Poor guy is just average, yet Milne has already reached Apke, or that other cat who played safety that JJG was obsessed with, status. Could be a lot worse, think Randle El. We shouldve kept that guy from two years ago, can't remember his name either, probably because I haven't given a shirt about this team much over the last 10 years. 

 

Good luck to you Dax Maligned, hang on to the rock and run forward !

Or the best possible time so no one else will claim him and we can develop him on the PS lol

[clskinsfan]

Of all of the cuts I have seen from other teams so far Germain Ifedi interests me the most. He played all three preseseason games for Detroit this year and allowed zero pressures. Dude can play. 

[TheBlueIndian]

Reid freaking Daughty !

[Dan T.]

Despite his drop Saturday, Milne has the surest hands - as a returner and as a receiver - of anybody I've seen in a long time.  That, and not much else, is what he gives you week to week.  He's a safe choice as a return guy.  He's unlikely to break one, and unlikely to fumble away one either.  

 

It is fun to see a guy like Kazmeir Allen drop a punt, have it roll 15 yards behind him, scramble back and pick it up on the run, then dodge eight defenders as he takes it to the house.  For coaches though - not as fun.

Sounds like we have a lot of "potential PS" players. When can they start assigning to the PS?

Players have to clear waivers which is 24 hours. So around midday tomorrow.
