Cut Down Day - For Whom the Bell Tolls

[jrokh 569]

Today is cutdown day, rosters to initial 53. Any relevant Fantasy players/possibilities? Ronald Jones makes the KC 53. OJ Howard cut by the Bills. Tyler Johnson cut by the Bucs. What does this mean for Chris Godwin, is he on track to play week 1? 

[Brutal Brutus 182]

Watching to see what Arizona does in their backfield. Williams is rumored to be the odd man out, which would likely solidify the hype Benjamin has received this camp as the true #2 on the team. Which could be a valuable role given Conner's injury history, and may even lead to some weekly relevance if they try to limit Conner's touches.

Good info.

Surprised to to see Tyler Johnson cut.  He always seemed open when he got on the field.  I guess he must've had trouble getting to the right spots.

Preston Williams and Lynn Bowden cut by Miami.  Erik Ezukanma is becoming interesting in dynasty formats.

[nobody 2,043]

Sony Michel cut as well.  I guess Axe can stop trumpeting the Super Bowl LVSFWER@$# MVP thing now.

[nobody 2,043]

I know it's not fantasy relevant, but Saints traded CJ Gardner Johnson to Philly.  Saints defense losing a lot of talent over the last couple of years.

This has what to do with Damien Williams?

[cmh6476 755]

Did the vikings really cut three third round picks from last year?

[nobody 2,043]

OJ Howard must really really suck.  Buffalo signed him this offseason only to cut him in favor of a bunch of guys no one will ever hear of.

I'd love to know what the deal is with him.

[weepaws 2,460]

Don’t know the contact issues, but I wonder if the Gmen let Golladay go.

Read it was somewhere in neighborhood of $25M in dead cap if they do that. 

[jrokh 569]

Marlon Mack Released! Another great call by @Axe Elf.. 

[nobody 2,043]

Can't wait for the explanation of how he's somehow still right on that one

No he is on the team and still at the top of the depth chart. There was never a point in time they were going to release him… HTH…

He tore his Achilles two years ago, that can be a career ending injury.

a good portion of that contract was guaranteed too.   so they must have REALLY wanted him gone

He sucked well before that Achilles injury.

[nobody 2,043]

Anthony MacFarland released.  I guess that makes Jaylen Warren the handcuff to najee.

yeah, mostly due to multiple injuries.

but the Achilles is what finished him I think.   ditto for Mack.

Leatherwood, first round OT from the raiders let go after only one year as a pro

[nobody 2,043]

JaMychal Hasty got released, so it looks like the 49ers are going with Eli, Jeff Wilson, Sermon, Ty Davis-Price, and Kyle Juszczyk

One of Davis-Price or Sermon will have value this year.  I assume it will be Sermon.

[pipeman 16]

Mack gone as well.

Can't wait for the explanation of how I'm not.

But Mack is no slouch.  He's not just some placeholder journeyman keeping the position warm until they find a capable younger guy.  Pierce is going to have to take it.

I said Pierce would have to take it, and he did.

Oh boy, right again...

I am a little surprised they didn't hold onto Mack for the Week 1 game against his old Colts, though; seems like that would have been a good time to take advantage of his bonus angst.

 

[Brutal Brutus 182]

Achilles tears remain undefeated in taking down RBs careers. Robinson and Akers next up on the list.

[AxeElf 787]

Wouldn't be surprised if Mack signs with the Eagles.  Their backfield is unspectacular, and Mack was a 1000 yard rusher when Siriani was his OC in Indy.

In 2018 he had a 90 receiving grade on pff which is spectacular and in the other years he was not stellar but he was still good. He could have been an above average TE.

His achilles injury is what did him in.

lol, is Mack still a good draft value?

Sounds good.  I guess he was awesome.

Last year only 3 players had a pff receiving grade over 90: Jefferson, Adams, and Cooper. He was playing at an extremely high level for a while and doing it with Winston/Fitzmagic as the QB.

you can now get him for the price of a waiver wire pickup.   so possibly?

He will probably remain available at the same price he was before (i.e., free), at least until he signs with the Eagles.

Okay.  You think I'm wrong.  I think you're wrong.  It's okay.  I mean he had 34 receptions in 2019 and you're using that year as an example of his greatness.  At that point I really have to assess what's wrong with my own life if I'm going to continue that discussion.

[Ray_T 591]

I think Mack is done.   hate to say it cuz I love the guy.  I was a fan early in his career, but since the injury the guy has shown me nothing.

Maybe I missed his good days or something but I dont see anything better than fringe starting ability.   hes probably best suited to being a backup.  Hes a JAG now.

Hes just not anywhere close to being the player he was.

Davis-Price.
