I'm sure they want to bring him back after they make a couple other moves in the coming days. For anyone thinking we took a risk by cutting fromm, look at the pats who cut a better player in zappe and only have one QB on their active roster as of now. Again that will change but what a punch to the gut it would be if somebody swooped in and claimed. Zappe which I'm sure someone will. I live in New England. I can only imagine sports talk radio right now lol. These fans are not going to like that, especially the Mac haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing he does is provides a temporary roster spot on cut down day. That's pretty much all he is good for. I wonder who they expect to IR? Hodges? Hopefully not McLaurin. Maybe another OL?

He's not explosive, but he's a lightyears a better WR than Kaz Allen is. He makes good decisions on when to fair catch and when not to, and can play all the WR positions. I figure Tinsley is the developmental WR while Milne is the reliable backup that is replaceable next year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that they gave the spot to someone else. However, Zappe may be worth adding to our 53 if we can. Especially as a trade off for a guy like Pringle who is one of 7 WRs and likely won't be here long term. Something to seriously consider at least.

Crowder gets cut from the Jets, who by all accounts should have one hell of an offense this year and people think he's an upgrade.

Kaz Allen looked to be a good returner but apparently having the ability to first catch a football is a pre requisite. Maybe Allen could be the future there, perhaps he lands on the PS and pulls a Brian Mitchell and develops the chops for it. But right now Milne is the safe bet at a position where you need to be able to trust whoever is back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like double the league average. Why they cut him? Ron surely will watch some other team act on it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Dax had like 6 Recs last year. He does not contribute to the passing game in a meaningful way. If I have a player who can contribute better returns at PR, I would not really care if he does not have the WR chops of someone who does not contribute at WR. If Kaz had shown himself to be a better PR, it would not have mattered very much if he was not the WR Dax is. Your not losing any production by walking away from him. Unfortunately Kaz died on the field and blew his oppo. So the point for me is, if I can have a guy who is a better PR, I don't care if he even lacks opposable thumbs and thus can not play WR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top 4 WRs are fantastic. I really don't care if the back of that line up is a great WR or not, as long as they're sure handed on teams. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If I was a pro scout working for this team, I’d watch Trent Taylor PR tape to see if that’s an upgrade on Milne. I’m not, so I won’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking over the stats there were like 14 players who qualify for that metric. Dax is better than 3. If you don't use some arbitrary cut off point there were like 35 guys with a better avg If you wanna make numbies lie for you you can make anybody look decent. On a Sunday afternoon at 2:15 PM at 76 degrees with a 2 MPH western wind at a Commanders game while wearing burgundy nobody had a better return avg while being named Dax Milne than Dax Milne.
