Ringo is gonna end up playing ten years just because of special teams.

As long as I don't ever have to watch him line up at CB for this team again, I'm very ok with that. He's a really good ST player. He just couldn't cover ME out there at CB!!

I notice no one's saying the Rams have to put together a team of super stars because Stafford can't win without an all star supporting cast.

There needs to be a special exception for international players like that to be on the practice squad but untouchable for 2-3 seasons. Teams need years to develop & teach them.

I agree, but when they are drafted, I think that should go out the window. That changes the level that you think that they can reach.

Mailata took literally 3 camps before he contributed. He wasn’t some savant who just showed up and was an all-pro.

It took YEARS of development, but we actually committed to it.

I really hope I’m wrong and Bernard/Weru don’t get claimed and we can have the perfect situation of them practicing every day with the scout team, but someone is most likely going to claim them through the course of the season.

Uar isn’t some player that flashed at any point in games. What team thinks he can improve their roster for this season? He is too much of a project and the perfect candidate for the practice squad.

WTF is Howie doing????

I think the Bears and Rams, in particular are setting the standard with a reliance on multiple TE's. If the Eagles are truly going to be run first with the OZ, and a shorter passing game...it makes sense to load up on TE's.

The Rams have five TEs on their final 53 but all can catch a football. Mundt and Jenkins can't catch anything. Jenkins has been hanging around for three years. No other team wants him. I do hope he is just a place holder. Without Latu and Steele I think this shows there won't be a fullback used. Ben Van Sumeren was cut by Buffalo so maybe he can be added to the practice squad.

Back in the era when there were 'pass rushing specialists'. You had to play all the downs. (It was nice of them to include Golic in the picture!)



I'd argue that it might not even be the best RAMS' defensive front of all-time.


Basically, when you are mentioning 6 guys names... its just a rotation, not a front.

Both were awesome DLs. Let’s not discount the Steel Curtain or the Purple People Eaters. Heck as I think back, this Ram’s line might not even be in the top twenty.

Justin Joly waived. Liked him a bit in the draft. Not a blocker though

He isnt going to contribute this season. Doesn't mean someone wont take the chance and carry him as an inactive all season long with a longer-term view to development. Same with Weru.

If someone tried to claim during the season, we can elevate to protect. The risk is the next 24 hours.

But do they want to leave the DL coach?

With multiple teams keeping 4 QBs, feels like there is some wheeling and dealing coming. Personally, I couldn’t care less if we lost both Dalton and McKee. Neither showed anything.

Isn't Jonathan Jones a Safety?

Think we already have someone locked up in our TE who cant block spot and wont likely play much at all this year

Dalton for Wentz?

I think you can technically reject being signed off a PS during the season, but guys don’t because they want the $$$ and chance. This would be an interesting test case. Wonder if they discussed it with them - get to the PS and stay all year to continue learning.

They have no choice if claimed on waivers.

Disappointing they cut both OL they drafted last year.

For those upset that they cut both Weru and Bernard, you can blame Eli Stowers. They had to keep 4 TEs because they realized they can’t play Stowers. So rather than keeping Weru or Bernard as their useless developmental player on the 53, that’s now Stowers.

Couldn’t care less about Hinton. Would like to see Williams on PS.

Only makes sense to load up if they can play.

I’ll give it another 48 hours before having a strong opinion. In this new world with PS elevations, I don’t like keeping fringe NFL players (Jenkins, Moore, etc.) on the active roster over developmental players. But more to come, hopefully it looks better soon and we the IPP guys make the PS.

QB room and TE room are straight trash.

🤔😬

6 WRs, 4 QBs, and EJ Jenkins means we cut some good players.

This is a game of risk. I suspect that some QB needy teams played chicken for their targets. Basically declining a trade and daring a cut. I will be surprised if the Eagles have four QBs on the 53 by the time they play the commies. Moore beat out Covey, at least until Lemon is ready. E.J. Jenkins is a place holder. Stowers isn’t healthy or ready. Heck, Epenesa is likely a place holder until Greenard is ready. Won’t surprise me if Howie makes some waiver claim attempts or veteran signing. Look at the list of released versus waived. Release can sign on an active roster immediately.

Sometimes Howie's ego gets in the way. He won't admit the Dalton mistake. Nobody would give anything for Dalton so that tells me McKee may be gone in a trade. I really don't get Jenkins over Latu. Absolutely nobody is claiming Jenkins. Would have liked to have kept Wilson or Bernard, preferably Wilson.

If the 4th QB is legitimately a STs contributor, he may have taken the Latu roster slot.

I am going to trust the Eagles this point...it feels to me like the league, in general, are holding onto their chips in value position. The Eagles certainly have a better grasp of what the perception across the league is right now than anyone in here. I believe the Eagles are waiting for a couple of teams to shoot their wad first...and then the action will begin...what I do know is that what we are seeing is NOT the final roster

Between Dalton, Jenkins, Moore and Underwood - 4 potential spots to try and protect some younger talent like Uar and Weru.

Some very unHowie-like roster construction/thinking

The Moore retention makes no sense to me given he is a vested veteran and if he is on the roster Week One his full year’s salary is guaranteed.

I think the biggest gripe I have about this roster, same as last years roster, is that there has been no real return specialists. If Covey gets claimed, they are screwed unless they get lucky and a guy falls in their laps from these cuts.

Shipley and Bigsby are both good at KORs.
