Upcoming Cuts

I am all for anything to get Doughty out of SS. If that means signing Ricky Manning Jr and moving spings to saftey im all for it

First. Welcome to the board

Second. The Bears let Ricky Manning go today, he would be worth a look for a nickel/dime position in my opinion.


i see you and i think alike on this....i think this would be a great move for us to make.

My "desire" for Manning would be more due to Springs getting the majority of his playing time this year at safety, not as a replacement for Torrence necessarily.Understood. My eyes tell me that Torrence would be better in that role, but the full disclosure is that I may be giving Torrence the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't yet deserve.

Still, if it came to an injury in the secondary, I would much rather see Doughty out there again (assuming of course that he were to get benched due to poor play in order to make Springs switch positions) then have Ricky Manning start at CB for us.

Of course, I'm not arguing against added flexibility here, if that is the ultimate goal.

Im not suggesting manning be named a starter or he be ahead of torrence on the depth chart...i think the flexiblity he could provide would be useful considering the possiblity of springs playing some safety seems very likely.

You know i really doubt we will pick up anyone off waivers ill be surprised.

I was listening to Vinny Cerato and he said that the Redskins will probably only keep five LB's. He also made it sound like they would not keep four running backs. That means to me, that if they keep Mason they cut Cartright. I doubt it, but Mason is a better back.

Wow - that surprises me I thought that Mason would make the team for sure with how well he has played in the preseason.

It's a numbers game, keeping 4 RBs is tough.

I'd try to trade Ladell for something of value (draft picks) to a team that needs a running back and keep Mason.

Does anyone remember Robert Green, the former William and Mary longshot running back who made the team back in the early 90's? Mason kinda reminds me of him.
