Around The NFL - 2014

if he showed anything at all he would have stayed...especially on that zesty roster

I'd take Boyd over anyone except Folesy.

Um Denver cut Duke Ihenacho

WTF?

GET!

[QB Eagles]

he must have been horrifically bad to be cut the year he was drafted

Tajh Boyd may have been the worst quarterback in the entire NFL during camp and the preseason. I don't think there is even any chance of the Jets wasting a PS slot on him.

Apparently the Broncos thought it was more important to have a strong safety capable of covering receivers than one capable of hitting running backs hard.

No history yet...Rams released DE Michael Sam. Prime practice-squad candidate.

[QB Eagles]

- Champ Bailey cut by the Saints

- Tremendous turnover in kickers this season. The Chiefs dumped Ryan Succop and the Saints cut every kicker in camp. Some of these rookie kickers (including possibly the Eagles kicker) are going to flame out, so jobs other than NO might be opening up for Henery pretty soon.

If Parkey flames out and Succop remains free I'd like to see him brought in

[QB Eagles]

The vet minimum is killing the careers of a lot of special teams guys. It's not enough to be better than a younger player, you've gotta be worth three times the salary. When it comes to kicking, that's hard to justify for a couple percentage point difference in field goals.

Actually there's a provision in the CBA to help mitigate this. If a vet is making the minimum, only a portion of his salary counts against the cap. Depending on the number of years of service it's in the neighborhood of around 40% off. The team still pays the player full amount but for cap purposes the discount was designed specifically to help vets stay around longer by not losing their job to a younger guy, and defeat the purpose of the vet minimum.
