    Post them here.

    I’m looking for safety depth mostly but wow, this one popped out to me. Big fan coming out of college. 6’5” 4.48. Redshirted first year, basically Cards have too much depth there and let him go. I’d bump Ray Ray so fast for this guy.

    Isn’t he a guy who had something like a 20% drop rate in college, but got drafted on height/weight/speed, and the occasional big play to go along with the drops?

    He was the highest graded receiver of his class on passes of 20+ yards. I don’t know what his drop rate was but he was considered raw coming out.

    Clinton-Dix. Liked him coming out but haven’t kept up on his career.

    Butler won’t get past the Giants / Jets on waivers you’d assume? I’m stunned that the Cardinals are giving up on him so quickly

    Clinton Dix would be a decent depth option, as would Sean Davis if they chose to bring him back.

    I’d take Clinton-Dix. Not enthused about bringing back Davis, but he’s probably better than the backups we’ve got right now. The one good thing about Davis is that he has starter experience at both S spots.

    Yeah, my thinking too, he could slot in for Minkah or Edmunds. So could Clinton Dix

    I wonder is there and injury or something with Davis. Makes no sense for Washington to cut him.

    I liked Butler coming out of college, he would be worth putting on the practice squad.

    Ha Ha is not a back up. But the story really here is the lack of quality depth behind both starting safeties. Surprised to see Marcus Allen listed as an ILB on the final 53. He will be used as a hybrid i'm sure.

    Maybe they went back and watched his game film.

    Davis has zero field awareness. He made very few (if any) impact plays for the Steelers. Another drafting reach/mistake.

    is Punter Dustin Colquitt signed yet. I know he had a visit.

    Not a whole lot of holes to fill imo. Really anyone we would pick up would be 2nd or 3rd string.
