Cut-down Day Open Thread

PrintSo today's the big day. For roughly 17 more players currently on Miami's roster, today represents their final days in Miami - though some could land on the practice squad, but we won't know that until Monday. And speaking of Monday, keep in mind that the waiver process for players with 4 years of experience or less takes 48 hours. So if the Dolphins put in a claim for anyone, we won't know about it until at least Monday.
So with that said, use this thread to discuss any of the cuts, either by the Dolphins or by other teams. It'll be easier for everyone if we keep info about the cuts all in one place.
Also, other than the 3 Miami-area newspapers and the team's official website, other sites to visit often to see if Miami's cuts have been announced are NFL.com's news blog section and, of course, PFT.
I likely won't be around much today, so I'm going to rely on you guys and gals to keep this place up to date with our roster cuts!
**UPDATE 3:04 pm** First cut has been announced. Safety Courtney Bryan was released by the Dolphins, according to a text message he sent out.
**UPDATE 3:51 pm** Next player cut? Reagan Mauia, according to the PBP. That likely means that Boomer Grigsby has made the team.

Isnt it crazy...
that i woul be crushed if we somehow cut Bess? he wasnt even drafted…i know they wont…but thats what kind of find this guy was. i think Bess can be just as good as Welker was for us…if not better
Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?
yup
I wouldn’t be happy, either, if Bess was cut. But odds are he stays….just like somebody here (cough cough) predicted back in April.
Toot Toot
Sam Madison
I hear there is a chance either him or McQuarters will be cut by the Gmen….i know he is old but i still really really miss those days when we had him and surtain back there
For the right price
bringing Madison back wouldn’t be a bad idea. Him, Will Allen, Lehan, and Goodman would be a nice quartet. But I don’t see this regime signing an older veteran.

Giants kept Madison and McQuarters
PFT via NFL Networks Adam Schefter says Madison and McQuarters are staying in New York for now. They made the 53 man squad.
What a bust he was
We took him 26th overall in 2001. We could have taken Reggie Wayne (30th – Colts), Todd Heap (31st – Ravens), Drew Brees (32nd – Saints), Chad Johnson (36th – Bengals), or Kris Jenkins (44th – Panthers) at that spot. All have made at least 1 Pro Bowl.
Wanny
speaking of jamar fletcher thanks for bringing him up now i can throw up! lol
I second that.....
it still ticks me off………we had two shots at getting Brees. I hope Bowling Green won today….

But The Eagles
Drafted Freddie Mitchell ahead of all those guys plus Steve Smith and Chris Chambers.
If Donovan McNabb had Reggie Wayne, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith or even Chris Chambers they’d have a Super Bowl by now.

So much for Madison or McQuarters...
They are staying with the Giants

Rudi Johnson Anyone?
Bengals to cut Rudi Johnson and become a UFA – PFT. 170 carries for 497 yds avg 2.9 yd/carry. Better than Cobbs? Parmalee?
We just cut Bryan that leaves us with 4 safetys

Should we pick up Todd Wade?
Wade would be an upgrade to what we have backing up Long/Carey. I’d also bring in LB Moffit from South Florida who was cut from Houston for a looksie
This thing of ours.... it is what it is
Top shelf rookie QB cut
QB Andre Woodson got cut from the G-Men
This thing of ours.... it is what it is

Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?

Where has that bee confirmed?
I can’t find it anywhere. I know PFT said they asked him to take a pay cut and they speculated he’d be cut if he didn’t agree. He was definitely let go? If so that is a dumb move.
here
Bengals released OT Willie Anderson.
“They wanted me to take a pay cut,” Anderson said. “I wouldn’t do it.” No one else is going to offer him more than the minimum. Anderson made four Pro Bowls and three All-Pro squads in his 11 seasons with the club.

We're talkin' about PRACTICE....practice!
Mauia has been released!
Just found out by the palm beach post that Raegan Mauia has been released earlier today. Thats too bad I thought he would have done better with a year under his belt but boomer grigsby is the right choice here with hand skills and special teams.
If it ain't Miami Dolphins it's Crap!!!
Good choice
Now he has plenty of time to practice ramming dry wall. What another wasted pick by Cam Cannot.
yeah
had he (cam) stuck (like some around hoped for) he likely could have taken a run at wanny for worst coach/pp evaluator in dolphins history. thank goodness for the big tuna.

love me some BOOMER BABY
great personality and a guy whom u know is giving 110%
Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?
R johnson
I hope we dont pick him up im settled with our rb core. what i want is a bigtime wr.
agreed.
Johnson sat out most of last season with a hammy injury, and before that just wasn’t that productive.
We’ve got a sober Ricky Williams and Ronnie brown.
lets leave it at that.
TICK TOC TICK TOC
Why are they taking so long to announce the cuts?
This thing of ours.... it is what it is
uhhhhh
so who got cut? lol cmon tuna were waiting
willie reid got cut…steelers wr…went to florida state while i was there. i really liked his game.
Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?
Parcells looks smarter every day.
PFT is reporting Jesse Chatman is suspended for 4 games for substance abuse policy violation.
He15man^2. . .get ready
Dolphins should look at
recently released former Falcons OG Kynan Forney. He is big (6-3, 307+) and has started 89 of the 95 games he has appeared in over 7 years with the Falcons. I know OT is more of a dire need but Forney has the size and experience of a great backup for Smiley, who is injury prone, and Donald Thomas, a rookie.
Steelers shopping three O Linemen - Starks, Mahan, Essex
Any of those guys worth some of our stockpiled picks…maybe the one we got for McCown?
Why not wait
Just wait until he is cut and then claim these guys. Just like we can do with Simms and a whole bunch of other players.
ya looks like a little patience might pay off
although the article quoted on PFT were I got this info doesn’t mention any of these 3 guys…hmmmm
resman - u referring to Chris Simms from TB?
Living in the the Tampa Bay area for 8 years and forced to watch the bucs I liked what i saw out of him at times…at others it looked like he was missing a spleen from the get go!
cuz he might not wanna come here...
once he is released he can go wherever he wants…thats why the panthers gave us a 7th…just to secure him.
II was just reading Sun-Sentinel stuff on the phins and it says we have to submit the cut list a 6PM to the league…not 4pm…dunno if thats right..either way they have both passed.
im hoping parmalee makes it….id hate to see that guy get picked up. he looks like with a lil polishing he could be a hell of a player.
Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?
Not many guys ud like cut so far....
i think we can upgrade camarillo..i like him but Ashley Lelie just got cut…Darius Reynaud..rookie wr from West Virgina was cut…Roydell Williams of the Titans was cut as well.
Buster Davis and Willie Reid two ex-seminoles with talent cut
Quinn Gray….local guy. Better than Beck by far…cut. hed be a great fit for our 3rd qb
Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?

hot off the presses
that’s from the team website

I guess both Spanos and Byrne going. Hopefully Hilliard goes to the practice squad Monday. Peelle could be resigned for a more reasonable price.
here it is

We're talkin' about PRACTICE....practice!
Tackles?
Must be making plans to add some. Only 2 on the team roster now!
We're talkin' about PRACTICE....practice!
Anyone have BP Cell number?
Orien Harris DT from the Saint was released. He’s 25 and played Florida college ball. I think he’s worth taking.
ANALYSIS
Biggest surprise: The release of Harris is a bit of a surprise with Hollis Thomas out with a triceps injury. Harris had a good camp and preseason. There’s plenty of other depth at defensive tackle. Harris is a guy who could land on another team’s roster quickly.
Birth Date June 3, 1983
Birth Place null, Jamaica
Height 6-3
Weight 300 lbs.
Age 25
Position DL
Experience 1 years
College Miami (Fla.
Opinions?
