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

J'Marcus Webb makes Marshall Newhouse look like Joe Thomas. That's how bad he's been. And not just this pre-season.

GB carried 7 OL last season. With Sherrod likely to be activated at some point, and MM being happy with his OL (per his post game presser last night), I can't see TT picking any vet up unless someone unusual would get cut. And then if that happens you know TT won't get into any bidding wars for them.

Barclay

Sitton

EDS

Lang

Bakhtiari

Newhouse

GVR

Then Sherrod. That's 8.

If anything, TT finds some young Rookie player a team cut and he gets placed on the PS.

Hoped Datko would develop,& he might have, just not as a OT. His play is less than average. Suprised he's lasted this long. Exbears Webb might be a better player but TT wouldn't want to pay vet $$$ unless absolutely necessary imo.

I disagree with your assessment of Webb.  He's been a mess at times and pretty solid at others in the reg season (this preseason he's been awful).  I think his issues are maturity.  And maybe being cut after spending his first 3 years as a starter may bring back to earth (probably not).

Tom Thayer does a pretty decent job IMO of analyzing the Bears and the rest of the NFC North.  I don't find him to be too much of a homer.  Two years ago he said Webb has some of the biggest upside he's ever seen in a left tackle.  And the issue for the Bears would be getting him to consistently play at the level he's capable.  Thayer thought he could be a ProBowl T.

Now I'm not suggesting Thayer is the "be all, end all" in talent grading.  After all, he is a Bears commentator.  But I have heard him speak very positively of Webb, even at times when Webb wasn't playing well.

I actually think a guy like Webb is exactly what a team would want in a backup as far as ability and upside (not necessarily his attitude).  Wouldn't be surprised to seeing him starting at some point for someone this year.

 Webb took a pay cut, I think, to about $600K for this season.

And looking at the list above, I certainly wouldn't pick up Webb over Newhouse, and I don't think he plays Guard (GVR).  But I would absolutely take him as an 8th OL over guys like Datko and Lane, at least until Sherrod comes back....IF Sherrod comes back.

PLV , After watch replay of game this afternoon , I couldnt believe how poorly Lane,Datko played. MM been telling how much better this entire team was over previous years & I didn't see his view. The OL,2ndary & LB were a sad collestion

Listening to the game last night, Wayne and Larry kept calling Datko and Lane's names.  Not good when an O-lineman keeps getting mentions in a broadcast.

The obvious "camp bodies" were in full review last night.Shouldn't take long for TT & MM to complete the cut list.

If Brady Quinn gets cut can we be a better team with a family reunion?

Hawk could lease the basement to Sis's family.

Packers worked out "Kickalicious" yesterday too.  Crosby taking the pay cut doesn't guarantee his roster spot.

Pretty sure Kickalicious will be put on the emergency list. Can't imagine any scenario that sees Ted cutting Crosby and going with an unknown in week 1.

He's simply part of TT's contingency planning and anyone hoping for ABC in SF is going to be disappointed.

A tweet from Packer Report: "Some intersting #Packers news coming later.  Sitting on it til the player is told."

Jonathon Amosa released.

CB Lloyce Means cut.

Maybe he's talking about the morning deuce he's got brewing.

Young gone and back to the drawing board at backup QB. Fearless prediction...

Packers just released Vince Young

Maybe they've got Jordan on the line.

They have really screwed the pooch at backup QB

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 8m Patriots released Tim Tebow.

Hell yes!     Make it happen ROTTT

Westboro Baptist already put in a waiver claim.

Jimmy Claussen was just let go by Carolina.

What's their team name again?  The Screamin' Zealots?

I'm going to laugh if TT signs Jimmy Clausen.  Or even better, Timmy.

Timmy is a like a bad mom joke, "Timmy is like a door knob, everybody gets a turn".

This should be the last hurrah in the NFL for Tebow but you never know.

S Chaz Powell released.

This is what we see via NFL.com so far

Green Bay Packers

Cuts to 53: S David Fulton, CB Lloyce Means, QB Vince Young

Garth Garhart cut.

So does TT have an eye on someone in particular to be the backup or is it BJ going into Week #1?

trade a backup RB or TE for a backup QB

Silverstein is speculating that a trade could be in the works.

TT cant seriously be thinking of keeping BJ as AR12's backup, at best BJ is strictly Practice Squad material. TT's gotta get another QB in there somehow, but either way going into the season we all gotta hope and pray nothing bad happens to AR12.

That was funny, I was speculating that too.  I said to my wife "Honey, I wonder if a trade is in the works?".  She said, "Did you clean the cat's litterbox, yet?".

That's what dogs are for.  Trade speculation.

Flynn coming back? Restructured contract?

Miami needs a tight end. Who do they have as a backup QB that we would want?

The #Packers have cut seventh-round WR Charles Johnson, I was just told. Neither 7th-rdr (Kevin Dorsey also) made it. Both got hurt.
