I would like to keep all the defensive line players, we are that deep at D Line, but it just can't be done. ....The question is : Who will get us to Play-Off Wins and Super Bowl...Burkhead for example is on the team because he was good on special teams and has now shown he can do many things on offense. The more a player can do, the more he makes the team.  Some Fans are going to be upset that some players they love and may even have a jersey of are gone by the Oakland game. I wish we could keep all the D Linemen, but we can't. ....I do look for Zimmer and other coaches to grab up D Linemen we cut, because they all have game, we just can't keep them all.

I did see some players step up with linebacker number uniforms. We needed that. We were in dire need of players stepping up with linebacker uniform numbers this summer. There is more depth than last summer at LB and WR. I think they are planning on a return by Burfict at some point also. ...We may not have to keep a small slot receiver if Burkhead fills the bill. ....These will not be easy cuts, but cuts must be made.

I don't see the big name cuts needed until next week when they go from 75 to 53.

I also think this would be a great opportunity to trade a couple of these guys versus cutting them. We could argue why would a team trade if they can just grab a cut from waivers, but the issue is the waiver process in some cases would make team compete with 30 other teams to grab a guy cut.

There are teams like Carolina who need a DE so Hunt may be a great trade for them. The Giants are decimated in the secondary and we cave CB's and safeties they may want.

Call me crazy, but I would love to see us trade for Patterson from the Vikings to replace Tate as our 5th or 6th receiver and tale over his punt and kickoff duties. We could trade them Tate and another potential cut player who is NFL ready since we have a few available. Zimmer is also a coach familiar with some of these guys.
