SAINTS CUTS TO THE FINAL 53 (plus other teams notable cuts) (1 Viewer)

If we're still looking for another guard, Josh Sitton is expected to be cut today. Former pro bowler. Allowed 16 total pressures last season. Looking to deal him before then.
 
I'd imagine a part of waiting until the last minute is so that they don't give a bubble guy false hope that he's made the team when in reality, he could be replaced by any of the guys already cut.

Lets say we did come out with our list yesterday and Murphy or Hightower "make the final cut." But then some time overnight we strike a deal with Dexter McCluster and now Murphy has to go. Or what if some random practice squad candidate like Lampman thinks he is about to sign with the P.S. only for us to sign someone else that becomes available?

Yeah, I know that sort of thing happens and it is a part of the business, but I'd imagine teams would like to limit those situations the best they can by waiting as long as they can.

Doubt it. The business comes first always. No such thing as friendly cutthroat. They'll make moves first explain later expect the player to accept it because what else are u going to do? Put up a fuss and have them make security bring u out.
 
It's old news now but not in this thread - Seahwaks released Jahri Evans.

With the way a lot of our guys played this preseason I'm honestly surprised these cuts haven't happened faster. I know we usually wait till the last minute. I just thought it'd be easier this year

Now that is terrible drafting

I would think two others things might be in play:
Easier to sneak your guys onto PS when dozens are dumped at same time (last minute)
Waiting to get word on other cuts to see if you want to keep your guy

These are good points. I always wondered why we wait till the last minute.

This is the guy I expected us to keep based on his slightly stronger KO keg.
