But mostly I agree with others on the forum that we just aren’t finished with our moves yet.

I think Irwin or Thomas will be back… once IR designations are completed.  But given the chance that they are both poached, the team must think that Trent Taylor (now on PS) is serviceable for the final WR or they will simply run DB heavy for the purpose of special teams, and be thinner at WR, until they find a better option. The choices of who to cut were probably calculated (as best as possible) to optimize their intentions for the final roster after IR designation, which is probably based heavily on Special teams. I am somewhat comfortable with this if it has input from coach Simmons. But these choices are all about 3rd string and beyond, which are the epitome of JAG on most NFL teams.

The choice for the extra DE is more puzzling as it implies some persistent uncertainty in our current group or an undisclosed issue.

Stanley Morgan is that role.
They really need a WR with more offensive potential to be the 5th WR.
