25.6 or something is our average age this year on the roster. I think that's towards the lowest in the league? I could be wrong..
Big difference then last year we were like 28/29. something.

Artis Hicks was the final cut to get us to 53. The trade didn't go through. More roster moves will probably happen in the coming days.
Got to wonder what we asked for considering it deny go through. With steignbach out for the year they are in need.
Soooo....all these guys we cut are available for Practice Squad providing no other team picks them up for their 53 man roster?

I imagine royster, hurt, and jones make the PS
I see LB/WR/our OL depth as spots where we might ditch a guy to bring in someone else's trash. thompson could go too, we can use better depth at LB, CB, and OL then what we have, so those spots aren't safe yet.

I think LB depth is one of our most solid positions.. White looks promising and fast. Alexander, Fox, Riley, and Rob Jackson all looked great in preseason and the handful that played for us last year played well.
Thompson looks to me like another Fred Smoot. Not the fastest guy out there, but understands his role, and is always in the spot to make a play on the ball.

Betting that one of the WR's is getting traded (Bold Prediction: maybe Armstrong???) and an OL is picked up from waivers.
Dont see Anthony Armstrong getting traded. he is our deep threat WR.

Indeed, but if they are to be put on the practice squad they would probably already know about it.
Of course just because it didnt leak yet, it doesnt mean they don't know.

Willie Smith did play some guard in college, but obvi he's not ideal for depth at this point.
and apparently he hasn't played a second at guard even at practice for us.

Eric Steinbach - Cleveland Browns - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6369) Probably Browns guard ?
