As we learned quite well last year, the cutdown to 53 is not necessarily the end of the roster moves. For those players at the very end of the roster, sleep does not come easy. Here are my nominees (in no particular order) for “I wouldn’t sleep easy if I were”…
Nap Harris
Tyler Thigpen
BJ Sams
OK, Addicts, who do you think should not be sleeping easy?
Merlin




Huard has to be one.
Chiefs just cut Brackenridge and Dacus and picked up a couple guys.
Thigpen and Huard are safe, I would be very surprised if they cut either one.
I think these will be the next guys cut:
Jackie Battle (what we need 5 RBs for??)
Sams or Savage (they won’t carry both for very long)
Maurice Leggett
Thanks, DJ.
I actually AGREE with you on Battle and Sams/Savage, but Leggett is a heck of a ST player from what I’ve seen.
If Thigpen is safe, then the Chiefs’ brass all need to go in for CAT scans and psychiatric evaluations.
G Brian De La Puente and LB Erik Walden. Huh–never heard of ‘em.
Goodbye Wes Daucus and the Rebels. Goodbye Ty Brackenridge and his dancing.
To answer the question…
Thigpen
Jeff Webb (even Gretz says he’s on thin ice)
Napoleon Harris
B.J. Sams
Nice how Dacus went from starting to being released. Don’t tell me the coaches aren’t playing head games.
The coaches play head games with themselves. They worry me.
It’s not that I think Thigpen is a great player. Just don’t see any better options available right now. I wouldn’t mind seeing Andre Woodson on the Practice Squad this year and reevaluate him next season.
Nobody else thrills me. Joey Harrington? Chris Simms? Uggg, no thanks.
Like I said, I’d rather have Tyler Perry than Tyler Thigpen. He’s a wasted roster spot.
By the way, I’m watching the Steelers on the NFLN, and my boy Leftwich is looking damn good. I think we made a mistake there. He would have been great Brodie insurance.
Every QB not named Brodie, Damon, or Tyler is your boy Adam
And that’s a bad thing? The Three Stooges is great on the tube–except when it’s Sunday.
How did Nap Harris suvive and Dacus get cut? Leggitt should be safe now that Brackenridge is gone. He can absolutely fly, probably the 2nd fastest guy on the team next to Charles.
Yea the Dacus thing surprized me too. From the looks of things, all the RB’s, Nap and Pigster are safe. Odd. :/
