2013 - Trades, cuts, & pick-ups -- Ellis Island of the NFL

What is the timeline for Tretter to return?

What about Sherrod?

Those answers would go along way toward knowing what the team really needs.

It is my understanding soonest Tretter could return is Decemberish...which being a rookie, probably means this season is scrapped, just get ready for OTA's 2014.

Sherrod...who knows. I still say that clown ain't coming back at all. Hope I am wrong, but it smells funny.

Von Miller to be suspended "at least" 6 games for violating drug policy. That's a huge blow to the DOnkeys.

You've posted with "blow" and "donkeys," in the same sentence. 

It smells funny because MM/TT are playing games with the PUP list. He does not want to activate Sherrod now, but instead keep him and that roster spot open on the 53.

PU had an article about it earlier. I don't know if Sherrod makes it back, but it makes the most sense to keep him on PUP list through the first couple games in case he can help down the line. He knows the offense and is likely represents more upside at OT than any of the stiffs out there

As far as Center goes, its Van Roten vs the World. I think about it this way:

What are the chances that the number 3 or 4 Center who gets dumped (from an inferior roster) = upgrade in Green Bay ? Are there really teams with so many NFL-caliber Centers that they are cutting them in August ? Many teams don't even have one...best chance is an older guy like Brian Waters, but we already went down the Jeff Saturday path to no avail

Center is certainly thin, but I just don't believe the Center Fairy is going to be dropping one into our laps any time soon. Then, with no TC or OTA's this guy has to learn an up- tempo, highly multiple hurry-up offense well enough to make the squad over Van Roten or others.

That's asking a lot from a guy who wasn't good enough to make another teams' 53

Well thank you very much Negative Nellie.

Jason Spitz is now looking for work, cut by the Jags

Maybe he'd like to come back north... see,there's tons of talented guys available.

Yep,Moll could be next....

Henry would shat himself into multiple orgasms in the unlikely event Spitz returns.

He'd have to bring back that old avatar!

That's kind of like being dumped by Viking Girl.

  Strong rumor has it...Durango Pug got turned down by Viking girl at one of the infamous meatings

Browns trade defensive end Brian Sanford to Seattle for O-lineman John Moffitt.

I can't believe Allen Barbre still has a job in the NFL.  He's with the Eagles now.  If he's smart with his money (joke almost writes itself),  he should have a good nest egg for himself and I'm pretty sure he made it long enough to earn the pension.

Voided, Moffitt to DEN instead.

Can Moffitt play rush linebacker?

Believe it or not, he's having a good camp.

we should trade AJ Hawk for Allen Barbre 

Sherrod has an extremely serious leg fracture and he's a clown.  Can someone explain this???  And in all of TT's wisdom, he'll keep a "clown" around and pay him even though he's a "clown".

Really??

Jets cuts

Bills sign Leinart

Donte Stallworth being released by Redskins  (didn't know he was still playing)

Cardinals cut Dan Carpenter 

Asked if QB Colt McCoy is his backup quarterback now, 49ers HC Jim Harbaugh said, “Yeah, yes he is. He played very well."

  I'd rather have VY

Expect more cuts today and tomorrow, but I'd be surprised we'll see anyone worth a Packers look in this first pass.

The rest of the league is waiting for the Packer cuts.

Sincerely doubt Packers pick anyone up. Perhaps after cutdown to 53.

Johnathan Franklin ‏@JFrank2308 9h I've been down but i had to realize my God isn't football but my God is awesome and as long as i have him i have peace. My life is yours GOD Retweeted by Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 9h Again, Ted Thompson has cut one fourth-round pick as a rookie (WR Cory Rodgers in 2006) in last eight years. #Packers Expand Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 9h That's ambiguous at best. Could mean anything. So I won't assume it means anything. For now, @JFrank2308's Tweets are curious. Nothing more.

Franklin is safe this week.

List of "name" cuts

Stallworth (still a name I guess), Josh Cribbs... Ricky Stanzi - I am shocked!

Bring him in....F   VY

Maybe Franklin can get "injured" and serve a year on the PUP.

He hasn't shown a thing...and has he earned a gig over Green or Starks.   Or keep him and dump someone that has actually shown up at another position.

I think Franklin is safe on the practice squad and worth  the spot. I think Ted will pick up a lineman that makes the final cut.

Over Starks for ST duties at this point. My RBs on the 53 will be Lacy, Harris, Green, Franklin, Kuhn.

@Edwerderespn

Hearing teams inquiring with Packers about trade for TE. Packers feel position of strength. Bostick drawing attention.

Seahawks cut WR Perez Ashford, LB Kyle Knox, TE Jameson Konz, TE Andrei Lintz, TE/LS Kyle Nelson, DT Martin Parker, and LB Craig Wilkins.

Moeaki could be a damn good TE, but he makes Turd Ferguson look like the love child of Bert Faver and Cal Ripken, Jr.

Tough couple of days for Hawkeyes in KC - Ricky "Graham Harrell South" Stanzi gets the axe and now Moeaki is hurt again.  

Get him on a plane 20 minutes ago, Ted! No reason to wear out Goode before the season even starts with all the damn kickers filtering through camp. 

49ers waive QB Scott Tolzien. Also waived P Colton Schmidt, LB Joe Holland, G Al Netter and RB D.J. Harper.
