I'm pretty sure if nobody wanted him the first time, nobody's going to want him a second time.
I like White and he's got some skills, but he's average at best. 3rd stringer.
Still, maybe there are some super desperate teams out there.......?
I think your down playing quite a bit. He's shown he can manage an offense. He can throw the short to intermediate passes (15-20yrds). He can run the ball if need be, and does it safely.
Everyone said he's limited cause if the defense covers everything within 20yrds his only option is to run with the ball. I see no difference with Grossman. Grossman can't run so his only options are to throw the ball or take the sack. AND... Grossman is not as accurate as beyond 20yrds as everyone would like to believe. It seems to me beyond 20 he just throws the ball up hoping the WR will get to it.

I don't think White's bad at all. Honestly, I like him. There's just something about him, that's just not "there" and to be honest I can't tell you what that is but that's just my opinion.
Grossman I trust to an extent, but like you said, anything over 20 yards is a crap shoot as to where the ball is going to go.
There's still 30 minutes left, they still might cut Grossman. :joecool:

Holding White for trade bait with the extra roster spots we have till the end of week 4..
Doesn't make sense at all.
Yeah, I agree...
So how many more players have to be cut - thought it was seven, but what is the deal with the "extra roster spots?"

Well I'm surprised that Pat White and Briscoe made the roster. I'm surprised that Minnifield didn't.
Other than that, no surprises. But I'd be pissed if Nick Williams gets taken off our practice squad and Pat White is just worthlessly sitting on our roster for 4 weeks.

Another year of Briscoe riding the pine?
He looked great pre-season but I remember last year regular season, whenever he was thrown at he'd have a lot of drops.
Maybe he'll be better this year. Who knows.

Briscoe didn't make the roster at least according to this lineup:

Now I'm confused, because on Rich Tandlers roster I was following all day, I didn't see his name on any of todays transactions.
Now that Mike Jones's Washington Post article is up to date, I see he isn't on the roster, which is a great move by the organization. He shined 1 quarter of 1 preseason game. Then got hurt. Last year he was shining all throughout the preseason, got into games in the regular season and dropped almost everything thrown to him.
