Skinny as all hell, but a damn nice set of sweater kittens.

Green, Booker, Traylor and LJ Shelton were among 9 cuts by Miami

I saw a couple of weeks ago that the Dolphins were actually trying to talk Trent Green into playing this year.

No one on the cut list impresses me.  Then again, they were 1-15 last year for a reason.

i think an erin andrews thread is in order....

Man, they are really going with a young WR corp.

In the Past 12 months they lost:
Wes Welker to the pats
Chris Chambers traded to San Diego
Marty Booker is cut.

That leaves them with:
19 Ginn Jr., Ted WR 5-11 178 4/12/85 R Ohio State '08 Cleveland, OH D1, '07
15 Reed, Kerry WR 6-1 191 12/24/84 1 Michigan State '07 Homestead, FL FA, '08
83 Camarillo, Greg WR 6-1 190 4/18/82 2 Stanford '05 Menlo Park, CA W, '07 (S.D.)
82 Hagan, Derek WR 6-2 203 9/21/84 2 Arizona State '06 Palmdale, CA D3, '06
18 Williams, Chandler WR 5-11 184 8/9/85 R Florida International '07 Miami, FL FA, ;07

The most senior WR's are going into their 3rd year (while its the standard "break out" year for most NFL WRs, this seems risky). Does this mean they are going to make a move on a big name WR (Moss? Chad?)? Does this mean they are really high up on Ginn Jr?

What the Dolphins will do with their roster will be very interesting to watch in the upcoming months.

PANTHERS CUT WAHLE, MORGAN by Michael David Smith

The Carolina Panthers released guard Mike Wahle and linebacker Dan Morgan today, the team announced on its web site.

"These were tough decisions because Dan and Mike have been valuable members of our team and have done everything we have asked of them over the years," said head coach John Fox in the team's statement. "They are both very dedicated to the game of football and earned the respect of everyone who worked with them."

Morgan was Carolina's first-round draft pick in 2001 out of Miami, and at one point looked like one of the league's most promising young linebackers. But injuries have derailed his career. He missed 13 games in 2007 with an Achilles injury and missed 15 games in 2006 because of a concussion. Although Morgan's 59 starts are the most for a linebacker in franchise history, he'll be remembered more for the games he didn't play: In seven seasons he missed 53 games.

Wahle was a high-priced free agent acquisition from Green Bay in 2005. He made the Pro Bowl that year and started all but three games for the Panthers in the last three years.

The two roster moves are expected to clear about $6 million in cap room.

Morgan is a douchebag who cannot stay healthy. But Mike Wahle is a guy who I wouldn't mind seeing the Birds look into. He'd be an immediate upgrade over wost manneans at LG.

DESHAUN FOSTER ON WAY OUT? by Michael David Smith

There's increased talk coming out of the Carolinas that the Panthers could part ways with running back DeShaun Foster during the off-season, and perhaps sooner rather than later.

The Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers would save about $4.75 million on their 2008 salary cap if they cut Foster, who is heading into the final season on his contract. And the Winston-Salem Journal reports that the Panthers could try to trade Foster and then cut him if they can't find any takers.

Foster was the Panthers' leading rusher in 2007, with 247 carries for 876 yards. But he wasn't their most effective rusher, as DeAngelo Williams averaged a full yard and a half more per carry than Foster, finishing the season with 144 carries for 717 yards.

Considering that Williams is 24 and Foster is 28, the Panthers must see Williams as playing a bigger role in the franchise's future than Foster. And that means Foster is likely on the way out.

UDEZE BATTLING LEUKEMIA

Several reports out of Minnesota indicate that Vikings defensive end Kenechi Udeze has been diagnosed with leukemia.

Per the reports, doctors currently are in the process of determining the specific type of leukemia from which he suffers.

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood, and certain types of it can be treated and cured.

Udeze was the Vikings' first-round draft pick in 2004.
