Lots of former huskies cut today

 

[Exit 4]

Coming into Giants camp this summer most of the beatwriters had Beavers not only making the roster, but perhaps emerging as one of the lead LBs..... he was a surprise cut today. Meanwhile our guy Matt Peart, who had a rough game against the Jets this weekend remains on the squad which is terrific of course.

Really thought Burns was going to stick. Beavers was a big surprise to be cut too

The Beavers cut wasn't surprising, especially after they traded for Simmons. Wink said not long ago that he was behind McFadden and that sort of inferred that he wasn't totally back to normal from his ACL injury suffered last preseason. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the practice squad. And hopefully Burns catches on the Bears practice squad as well.

Practice squad isn't a bad gig.

Access to the team and facilities while signed. $12k/week minimum for rookies and second year players; $16k/week for player with more than two years in the league.

I’d love to see Guidone land on his feet.

 

[How Sway?!]

So is he coaching?

Philadelphia Eagles training camp: Jalen Hurts' accuracy on point, Kenny Gainwell joins DeVonta Smith on sideline

The Philadelphia Eagles hosted their final training camp practice before the start of their preseason slate on Wednesday at the NovaCare Complex.

Relevant but -
Along with Dontrelle Inman, former Los Angeles Chargers wideout/special-teams ace Geremy Davis is interning for the Eagles’ coaching staff. Unlike Inman, who started working with the staff last week, Davis has been working with the receiver group all summer. Davis played under Sirianni and offensive coordinator Shane Steichen in Los Angeles.

9 former UConn Huskies on NFL rosters or practice squads

This is not the high point for Huskies in the pros but their presence in the NFL is starting to get better after a lull the last few years.

Poor "Tom" lol!! C'mon Rotoworld!

Disappointing to say the least that Matt Peart still can't crack the starting lineup when their top OT was out last night and the starters that were in there gave up 11 sacks.

I'm not sure if he started on Monday or not but he played almost every play I was watching, mostly the sacks were where I noticed him the most unfortunately.

He played 4 of the 75 offensive snaps for the Giants on Monday

Always thought the Jets were stupid for letting Fatukasi go, but I'm so glad he went to a team that is actually good.

 

[Tdaley]

Love this!

I think the Jets are ok on the D Line.

I think the Jets are ok on the D Line.

I can't believe the Jets looks like a superior team to the Patriots this year. I mean I understand as a UConn fan, that the Patriots would eventually come back down to earth, but damn did they crash and burn in 2 years.
