Allen cut - we likely go to the PS - Signed DB Pitts - most likely gameday inactive but with our DB's being injured we needed some depth

Hayes Pullard cut - Signed LB Donald Payne, Payne seems to have been very good on STs, Pullard didnt have as good a preseason at LB or ST this year, McCrey beat him out as the top back up LB, and Blair Brown was very good.

Poutasi cut - G/T William Poehls signed, Poutasi was never gonna last, Poehls is huge had a great preseason, will prob be inactive until he can get up to speed.

Charles cut - NT Eli Ankou signed, Charles had a decent preseason but Ankou had a great preseason making plays should def be an upgrade




Sterling cut - TE James O'Shaughnessy signed, he is a solid vet TE upgraded over Sterling who might go to the PS

Very good analysis J-Mizzal.

The FO probably believes that any of these players released can be replaced by any number of similarly talented players that are available as street free agents.

These young players will be brought in for our coaching staff to access if they are truly an upgrade over what we previously had, and if they are not then they will also be replaced.  

I do hope that Brandon Allen clears waivers and is able to make in onto the practice squad. With one more year of experience, I think that he will be better prepared to compete for the backup position.
