Do Davion Taylor and Reagor make the cut? Taylor no, Reagor probably yes. Still need a CB, S, and likely RB. Hope they find a way to keep Devon Allen.

I mean, I'd argue Devon Allen probably has more upside and provides more benefit to the team (as a gunner and go-route WR with room to grow) than Raegor. If Allen gets cut there's no way he makes it past waivers to the practice squad, so do you risk cutting him to keep Raegor just to save a little face? I'll legitimately be upset if Allen gets cut and Raegor stays.

HOWEVER, if they only keep 2 QBs (which i think they will) do you keep both Raegor (as a PR and 5th WR) as well as Allen (as a gunner and 6th WR)?

decisions decisions...

I am not sure what this means
UPDATE: I failed to mention Sanders' durability concerns. The last time he appeared on the field was the first preseason game against the Jets, on August 12th, two and a half weeks ago.


Does this means he hasnt even been practicing or does this mean he didnt play in any of the games? Which, fwiw, I wouldnt have played him either. TIA

Devon Allen‘s attempt to jump from the Olympics to the NFL has hit a setback.

Allen, one of the best hurdlers in the world, is being released today as the Eagles get down to 53 players on their roster.

The consensus on the NFL XM station this morning is that this is a real coup for the Eagles. It makes them considerably better than they were yesterday.

hard not to. If you look at the team, their weakest position group was safety. And despite multiple signings and a trade during camp, it was still an area that any opposing O coordinator would attack. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is a definite upgrade.

Edit: My only concern here is that he's played far more at CB than at S.

There's a risk here...not in paying small change for a good player, but in your call out about CB vs. S fit. But even with the Safety depth they brought in, things wouldn't have been pretty. So at least they're upgrading athleticism and trying to get better overall.

Those CBs need to be top notch this fall.

this kinda surprises me......
The Eagles released offensive lineman Jack Anderson, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Anderson, who can play both guard and center, joined the Eagles last season. The Eagles already have Jason Kelce and Cam Jurgens at center, and Jack Driscoll and Sua Opeta can play the guard spots.

Practice squad? will he get past Tampa?

can we get him back before he goes to Jacksonville???
49ers General Manager John Lynch said Tuesday that rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has made the team’s 53-player roster. That means 49ers veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld did not.

Purdy, the final selection in the 2022 NFL draft, will serve as the third quarterback behind Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. The news earlier this week of Garoppolo’s return on a reworked contract sealed the fate of Sudfeld despite his $2 million guaranteed salary.

cbssports.com has some interesting waiver wire takes. I wouldnt mind Alex Leatherwood (cut by the raiders) and maybe Phillip Lindsay


Leatherwood (Let Stout get his hands on him. If he can make an all-pro candidate out of Mailata in what, 3 years? This kid has a much better foundation to start from. At the least, turn him into a viable trade piece in a year or 2, if not turn him into Lane's replacement next year):

Believe, I know how badly Leatherwood played in his first season with the Raiders. But hear me out on this one. By now, it's plainly obvious, Las Vegas picked Leatherwood far too early in the draft. He probably should've been a second or third round selection. Had he been, expectations would've been drastically different. Maybe that would've impacted his play. Maybe not.

Either way, this is a multi-year starter at Alabama who was reliable in college, has serious measurables and tested like a high-caliber athlete before his rookie season. Yes, the technical and balance elements of his game are abysmal right now. But the tools can't be ignored. Plus, Leatherwood has experience at tackle and guard in the NFL. He's officially a reclamation project now, before his third professional season. But with the right offensive line coach and teammates around him, it's not absurd to believe this former first-rounder can be a serviceable contributor in this league.

Lindsay (with only 3 on the squad, i'd LOVE some more depth here, especially with Miles's injury history and Gainwell's questions):

A career overachiever, Lindsay embarked on his NFL career as an undrafted free agent and rumbled to back-to-back 1,000-plus yard seasons on the ground for the Broncos. Since then, his per-carry efficiency as dropped every season, yet he's played on the Texans and Dolphins, two clubs with noticeably porous offensive fronts. This preseason, Lindsay did only average 3.4 yards per carry yet looked dynamic in his cuts and when bursting through holes between the tackles. Sure, running backs are a dime a dozen in today's NFL, but Lindsay, only 28 with under 630 career regular season carries on his legs, can be a useful part of a backfield committee.
