Remember we were supposed to claim all their scrubs who would have been upgrades here according to @Raideraholic

No but they claimed another QB to go with the MVP of the league

Williams wants to do big nickel this year. 

 

Been saying that for a while We will run 3 and 4 safety looks,, along with double will looks with Cashman. I suspect we may see quite an unusual defense this year from Williams, maybe one that has never really been tried in the NFL before, but it fits the personnel we have and are bringing in.

Jet fans thought josh doctson and laquan treadwell were hall of fame players just waiting to be picked up by us.  Hahahahaha.

Or maybe no one wanted to take on the contract of a first round pick because when you claim then that’s what you do. Now you can offer them a smaller contract to prove themselves. They will get picked up soon if not by the jets by some body. And I hope we go after Doctson

Franklin-Myers has some backers out west it seems: https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2019/08/31/rams-nfl-cuts-john-franklin-myers/

Picking him up makes sense if we move to mainly a 4-man front.  

Bennett Jackson seems like a long shot, but with all the rest of the CBs out the door and 5 safeties on the roster, gives you the sense Williams wants to do big nickel this year. 

Vedvik is a wild card and Berrios...may as well have kept Burnett then?

The biggest surprise for the Rams was the release of Franklin-Myers, last year’s fourth-round pick. He wasn’t an impactful player as a rookie in 2018, but he did play well in the playoffs and had a strip-sack in the Super Bowl. He was viewed as a raw prospect when he was drafted out of Stephen F. Austin, which makes his release shocking.

Franklin-Myers can play defensive end and outside linebacker, which increased his value to the Rams. However, the team opted to keep Morgan Fox instead, who will back up Michael Brockers.

If Franklin-Myers clears waivers – which is far from guaranteed – he’s a perfect candidate for the practice squad.

Teams figured if the Jets don't want him... Why would they waste a roster spot on him

[KRL]

For all the Vedvik "love" I've seen on the board, his college stats aren't

great:

And he's never kicked in a real game, I would rather have Cairo Santos

DB Bennett Jackson

Experience: Five seasons

Notes: Jackson has not played in the regular season. He has spent the last five seasons on practice squads or the injured reserve list. Was selected by the Giants in the 2014 draft. Spent two years in New York until being cut before the 2016 season.

Hopefully at some point they can move Siemian for a pick and use Falk as backup. He still needs to develop, but I think he fits the offense better, regardless of whether Siemian knows Gase's system or not. Bit surprised that Doss went unclaimed. Looks like Dortch goes which I cannot say I agree with.

I also REALLY hope we keep Kyle Phillips. He could really be a player. Of course, in traditional NFL fashion watch them keep the loser drafted guy in Shepherd.

[kevinc855]

Vedvik has a jack hammer for leg but he doesn't seem consistent. Bertolet was also inconsistent but not nearly the leg. 

Seems like we are gona be nervous for each FG and PA attempt through the season.

[Dinamite]

This makes a lot of sense.  Seattle is just going to make him go at the QB, rather than play LB, and will develop him.

Former #Jets third-round pick DL Jachai Polite will be signing with the #Seahawks practice squad after clearing waivers, source says.

Well that means he really sucks 

[Scoop24]

 

[Lith]

Seattle probably gets Polite a lot cheaper as FA signing; explains why he was not claimed.

See the 6:58 mark & that's all you need to know why Polite is gone...

Where’s the cb help? Will he be signing a f/a?

Interesting that CB wasn't addressed, could their be a trade brewing. 

[mrcoops]

So, our PS so far is Falk, Braden and WR Jeff Smith. 8 more to go, assuming Holmes returns.

I guess the Taylor Bertolet era is over.

You mean...error.

This guy Vedvik's Summer has been off the rails.  3 teams via a trade and then a release and waiver claim?

Didn't he miss more kicks than Bertolett did?

[DMan77]

Braxton Berrios is an interesting WR... He could be a good backup slot guy.

[TuscanyTile2]

How many GMs have taken a 2nd rounder and a 3rd rounder who never played a down before getting cut and it wasn't due to injury.

Does beerios signal the end for dortch?

Do we think Dortch would get cut and anyone else would take him to their 53?

Jets might try to slide him to the PS....but I fear he'd eventually get grabbed like Danny Woodhead.

its going to come back and bite us early in the season and possible derail it

No they cut langi

[ElBarrioJets]

So with Bertolet out and Qvale going to (short-term?) IR,

The next obvious cuts are Middleton and Kyle Phillips vs. Nathan Shepherd. 

Dortch should still be safe. 

[Paradis]

 The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. I wanted Franklin Myers, pretty much the only defensive guy outside of Noah Spence I thought was worth claiming… But in return I get yet another bloody goddamn slot receiver… Jesus Christ Adam how many of them do you need
