No, NE is so deep they cut Gaffney and Stallworth. Gates should be no where on their radar at all.

Really? They also cut Branch.
I wouldn't say they were that deep. They've got Lloyd and Welker but beyond that they are pretty limited at WR.
I imagine the cuts are more that they are both a bit hurt and if they are on the roster week 1 they have enough years to have their salaries guaranteed.
I wouldn't be surprised to see one or more of them brought back after week 1.

Surprised that didn't take off. |
Maybe he should have spent that time practicing how to catch instead of making shirts. |
Yes.

And he'll get dropped equally fast when his speed doesn't translate, his routes are imprecise, he drops passes, and fails to learn the offense.

| If true hartline practiced today that is great news he by no means is a number 1 but i think we allhave a little hope he could become a very valuable WR in this systejm. Jeff fuller does surprise me some can he not still go to practice squad?" |

Yes, he can go to the practice squad if he clears waivers first. I cannot imagine anyone claiming a WR that can't even make our team.

Interestingly Fuller is apparently at the practice today. Looks likely that he is going to be offered a PS place.
Ben Volin suggesting he hasn't been cut if he is there - I wonder whether he has been told he's going to be waived to go to the PS but hasn't officially been done yet.

| I'd really like to see you guys pick up Diondre Borel and/or Tori Gurley. They are completely different WR's but go back and watch our last game vs the Chiefs, both are players. I think they are guys who could make an impact. |

I'd love to get both of them.

Murtha is a bit of a shocker to me. I thought he was our best backup OT?

He fit the power block scheme better and was costing us 1.9M. We might be clearing cap with his release and Cooks trade. |
