Beerfish Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don;t like that change at all and neither should the players if you ask me. Instead of guys getting cut early and then having a chance to latch on to another team or explore things in a place like the CFL these guys will be held till the end of cut down day.

It is a time where teams may trade a guy for conditional picks when they know they have to make cuts. Unlike final cut downs these guys may actually be ready to play opening day. Oh well.

Instead of guys getting cut early and then having a chance to latch on to another team or explore things in a place like the CFL these guys will be held till the end of cut down day. On the other side of the coin, it gives a better opportunity for guys on the cusp of making the roster to prove that they deserve it, and the coaches more time to evaluate said players as to whether or not they deserve a spot. It also allows for those same guys that would otherwise be cut to take a newly injured players spot. That kind of thing. If you are pretty much guaranteed to be cut, then yes, that sucks. If you believe you have a solid chance to make the team but haven't performed at your top level yet- or gotten the reps to showcase your talent- this helps you- a lot.

jetrider Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Teams can still cut guys sooner if they want to, no? The change gives players one last crack to stay where they're at so it's not a complete bone job. On the other hand, for an extra week or so that player's eggs are in one team's basket as opposed to 32 potential takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
