....with the players on the current roster they'd replace. I'm not saying sign all these guys or that the players I list to BE replaced by them NEED to be cut, they are just my opinion as to players that could possibly help and IMO be have better chances of making the final roster heading into the season......here we go.....OH, and I wouldn't sign any of these guys for more than vet min. unless otherwise noted.
I love Sage but he'll never get his shot I don't think he's got the brain for the job because he certainly has the arm, so....Tim Couch for 3rd string, it's just 3rd string and maybe Nick likes what he sees from the guy running the scout team.
Cut Donald Lee and Sign Dilger. Lee I think has the same problem as Sage, brain farts. Dilger can at least catch well but his wheels don't move as fast as they used to. Again, minimum contract so if we like the Alex Holmes and Rader guys better, cut him...no biggy.
Seth, Seth, Seth...nothing but terrible reports every single day! Don't cut him yet but bring in a couple more Centers because Wades not ready to start. Besides Saban's cutting practice short for lack of Oline...A guy like good old vet Jerry Fontenot still have value or maybe Dinapoli (sp?) who was with the cowboys. Eric Wilson and Jason Thomas aren't making it out of camp
DT-did Travis Hall finally retire? Actually 2 guys who were formerly employed by us Jermaine Haley and Norman Hand are worth a look. Once again, MINIMUM contract for 1 year...they can't help. cut 'em during camp.
LB-I mentioned it before, I just don't think Corey Jenkins fits Saban's D. and Derek Curry is practice squad at most, Even Ayanbadejo likely won't be with the team so why not look at Anthony Simmons! He's the only guy on this list I'd offer a multi year deal to (but nothing huge) I still haven't figured out why he still hasn't signed somewhere. The cat can play. Maybe it's money. Offer him the MIN. see if he takes it. Same with Barrow. He was cut so if he took the min. he'd still get some money from the Skins because of the way his contract was structured I believe (but could be wrong on that). We don't like them at the end of camp...cut
NOW for the areas I'm a little more serious about.......
CB-If Law thinks he'll get 4 mil a year for 3-4 years, fine..sign with the Jets. 2 guys I'd bring in tomorrow are Bobby Taylor (he's slowed down) and Aaron Beasley. I really would like to see Beasley in here, he's more of a zone guy now who can actually tackle from the CB spot...I'd boot Super (burned) Mario immediately. I think Billy Parker has more skills than Edwards.
S-good start with Schulters, now bring in Ray Buchanon on a 1 yr. he's winding down but can still play either Safety spot.....Deandre Eiland is fodder and Jack Hunt is practice squad.
Once again...other than Couch (who I'd simply like to see us give him a shot provided his shoulder is healed) and Aaron Beasely none of the guys are truly needed but would be current roster upgrades and possibly even in-season upgrades.
just some thoughts..bored this morning.
