NFL Update

Here are some quick notes

NFL cuts were today to get down to 75 by 3pm.
Seems as though everyone has made it SO FAR but WVHooser who was cut today by the Pats.
Warmsley, Texans - they released two other DL today
Sullen, Broncos - they released a safety
Cairo still battling
Grant will make team no matter what and Wash released 3 WRs today.
Strozier still hanging in there
Moses was released before camp from KC, not sure if anyone picked him up before that but does not seem like it. He may get picked up when injuries happen i guess
Darkwa, dolphins - they put one RB on PUP/IR list

Overall thoughts are that Grant will get his chances. He is good enough to be on someones NFL roster.
Even if Cairo gets released he will get a shot somewhere. His FGs have been great and they one thing bad in the only one game we saw him kickoff once or twice was that his kickoffs were not deep. That is assuming the coaches didnt purposely ask him to kick it short so they could work on covering.
Sullen and Warmsley seem to have legit chances at someones practice squads at worst case.
Strozier fits what the Saints want but they have a few smaller RB types. The person that can pick up pass protections, playbook and shows the best hands will get to stay. If the Saints release Strozier we think he can help someone somewhere because he can play offense, defense and special teams and he is fast as all heck.
Darkwa did well last week but other than his big run his YPC have been really low but that has also been with the deep backup OL. Best thing from Orleans is that he has been steady as a pass catcher for them. He might be able to pull a Mewelde Moore and be a 3rd down back for a decade. Hell, who would not take that in a heartbeat!
