Interesting news…
Relatively significant quarterback news out of Cleveland: Backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been informed he's made the final roster, per Cleveland.com, and as a result, the Browns are fielding trade inquiries for both Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley behind Deshaun Watson. Both Winston and Huntley just joined the team this offseason as veteran insurance
The Bengals cut QB Rocky Lombardi. Can't we have an honorary roster spot just for the name?
Deguara and Amos released from Jax
Not bad work flipping some crab legs for $75M.
Even the Chefs swing and miss on top prospects. I remember "people" being miffed the Packers didn't draft Irv Smiff...
Chiefs released former second-round pick, tight end Irv Smith.

Irv Smith was supposed to be the next best thing for Minnesota when they drafted him in the second round (#50) in 2019. He lasted four years, and if I recall, wanted far more money than he was worth. Made a couple of splashy plays once in a great while. Then he was off to Cincy, then KC, and now to the used-car lot.
A ton of QB cuts today. GB must really like what they saw in Willis to make that deal yesterday.
Agree. Gutey was probably thinking if Willis was cut that someone else would claim him before GB. A seventh is low cost if he develops into a good backup at least.

Irv's Used Vaults and Stones has a nice ring to it!
His brother in law is the salesman and lets him sleep in the lot.

Seems like half the roster from three years ago!
Tonyan is an interesting cut in that just a couple days ago many writers had him very high on the MN roster, especially with Hockenson out for the first four games. It's a bummer for him that he never returned to form after the knee injury.
The #Jets are signing former #Vikings S Lewis Cine to their practice squad, source says. The former first-round pick gets a fresh start. pic.twitter.com/z8ColYvcUm

Kwese swallowed hard after this cut...
Bucs claim Royce Newman.
Dolphins claim Grant DuBose.

I still say he'll be back in Green Bay unless the Dolphins have Injuries at WR
Remember how in years past we used to watch the cuts and PS signings and none of GB's cuts would get snapped up and we'd all say, "Yeah, this roster isn't as good as we think it is"? And then we'd all want this team's reject signed, and that guy, and that guy? Yeah, those days, for this year at least, are over. Now we're hoping the GB guys come back and watching GB guys get signed by other teams. 
I saw a stat earlier tonight that said of the 1200 players released on Monday, there were 26 waiver claims made.
3 out of those 26 players were Packers.
Apparently the Packers cut the wrong players.
Whiners just got played...there is a reason Aiyuk has been solid in their system...IT'S THE SYSTEM!!! The same system the Packers run and seemingly have a WR Draft Horseshoe up their ass.
There will be no trade: the 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk reached agreement today on a four-year extension that will contractually tie the wide receiver to San Francisco for the next five seasons, per ESPN sources. The drama is over and a deal - not a trade - is in place. pic.twitter.com/H2voN5X0Li

@RapSheet: The #49ers are not trading star WR Brandon Aiyuk — he’s staying in SF with a massive extension, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
Aiyuk is getting a front-loaded 4-year deal worth $120M — done by @RyanWilliamsA1 of @AthletesFirst. And yes, Aiyuk will now practice.
Thank God!
This will finally bring all the wild-ass speculation and rumors to an end.
I was sick of hearing about it.
Does JJ not want Dak?
Didn't have to practice, but signed the deal that's been on the table for 4 weeks or so.

Well Timmy.....here's a little more. Denver is effing stupid
The 49ers only were willing to trade Brandon Aiyuk if they could get a top-flight WR to replace him. They offered a third-round pick to Denver for Courtland Sutton, and then would’ve dealt Aiyuk to the Steelers, but the Broncos declined the offer.

So, he stays in SF.
They could have pried away Toure for a 4th. Bunch of morans.
They are so supremely fucked

Whoever got that first pick , idc if you need a Lineman or QB Travis Hunter is one of one
