1. Hmm that’s interesting with Ossai likely to miss 4-6 weeks. Thought he did enough to ensure a spot. Murphy and Sample will have to step up.

2. Tough, but its a stacked room and they weren’t gonna play him over our 1st round pick if Ossai was out for just a bit.

3. Why isn’t there a megathread for all cuts?

4. Was it so hard to keep him and give Ossai 4 weeks to heal?

   ‘Cause RJ doesn’t sound like a guy we’ll be getting back

5. Really don’t understand this one. Who will play on Ossai’s place?

6. He’s not clearing waivers. Really dont understand this one.

7.

9. I am going to put the over/under at 1.5 sacks Raymond will have in his first game against the bengals for whatever team picks him off waivers.

   I am surprised by this one.

10. Bad move

11. Don’t like that cut. He’ll get snatched up. Hopefully not within the AFC North.

12. I would have preferred keeping him over Sample. Does the team need three run stopping DE’s on this team? I thought their pressure rate and sacks were low last season?

13. Dumb

15. Hoping we’d keep him, but hard to.

    Should’ve gone with 6 edge and 4 interior.

16. He flashed but remember it was against backups. They get to see him in practice as well so they know more than we do. He also does not play special teams as far as I am aware which is probably the main reason he was cut. He may get snagged but it wouldn’t surprise me either if he made it back to us for the PS.

17. Ossai can’t be put on IR unless he makes the 53 man. I feel like Johnson will be back tomorrow if he clears waivers, which he probably will.
