I dont feel sorry for them, that is a dream come true.

Silverphin said:I definitely feel sorry for Rader. This reminds me of what happened to Alex Holmes last year. He just made the 53-Man roster, only to get cut in favor of Will Heller.
SoDakDolfan said:It has got to be tough emotionally to think you finally played well enough to make the roster, then get dropped from it before the first practice takes place, let alone the first game. Any way you look at it, it is a bummer.

PhinFan8589 said:I feel too good for us to feel sorry for them. Since cut day, we have added Kendyl Jacox, Keith Adams, Lee Suggs, and Tim Massuquoi. Plus retained Marcus Vick and Fred Gibson on too our practice squad. In returrn, we have had to part ways with Jason Rader, Mike Labinjo, and put Joe Toldeo on IR. I live in Philly, and i have watched alot of Keith Adams. What we are getting is a guy who can start if need be, but who is an outstanding special teams player, and a good character guy. I think our additions in the last few days have been great for the long run. Massoquoi was only cut by the Bucs because they already have Alex Smith, Anthony Becht, Doug Jolly, and Dave Moore. It was a numbers thing. He could be a sleeper signing.
