Blidi Wreh-Wilson, Nick Williams (Falcons), Shamar Stephen (Vikings), and Jordan Todman (Texans) all made the 53 man cut.for now at least

Todman seems likely to be cut after week one when Jaelen Strong comes back. Texans are carrying six running backs since a couple will essentially fill on for WR injuries and suspensions.

Who's even left? Are Byron Jones and Anthony Sherman the only two players that start? Not sure is Butler is still on the Colts or if he starts. Am I missing someone else who is a starter? We really dropped in numbers!

Also surprised Davis and Thomas didn't stick.

Davis and Thomas are too small or took slow.

6'1"-6'2" 200lbs receivers who run 4.5-4.6 40's don't exist in today's NFL.

True but Thomas was getting rave reviews all preseason. Thought he'd either make the team or at least get on the practice squad. There's still time though. I honestly don't think the Lions receiving core is that good even. Not saying Thomas should have made it but Gilden Tate and Marvin Lewis are not top end receivers. I couldn't name their third receiver if I tried.

As for Davis, I really wish he stuck with the Giants but that's life I guess. Thought he'd catch on with the Chargers considering a lot of their receivers and TEs are injury prone.

Butler - yes and yes. Adams and Stephens get significant playing time depending on alignment/scheme and we need to see where Obi lands on depth chart.

Translated highlights:
Several NFL teams have contacted Andreas Knappe
By Søren Hygum Hansen , 04/09/2017 - 21:14

8-10 NFL teams have been contacting Andreas Button's agent after the Danes were fired at Atlanta Falcons on Friday.<<

>>The NFL teams have all approached the agent to inquire into the 6 foot 8 inches-wide offensive tackle that is ready to continue the career of NFL. He's on their radar, but yet it has not brought anything. But the teams can see a perspective in a big offensive tackle like him with the physical skills, says John Pace on the phone from the United States to Draftday.dk.<<

>>Next step, according to the agent, will be that Andreas Knappe will be offered a workout where he will appear in front of the team that has invited him to visit. In the NFL world, it typically takes place on Tuesdays. I can get the call with the invitation tomorrow or it can happen in the middle of the season. It is impossible to answer, he explains.<<

>>Andreas Knappe will stay in shape and wait for the call from another NFL team that may come. "His mood is fine. He is very professional and ready to continue, says John Pace.<<
