Bummer on Brents, Womack, and Woods, but not surprising at all.

Good to see LB depth brought in. To make room we waived Tim Smith. Guessing we'll sign him to the PS if he clears waivers.

And, no, Archie Manning will never be a Colt. Stop with that nonsense already. Beyond sick of all things "Arch".
I disagree with the statement that this is an average roster at best. We are really only a QB away form contending. Put Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Jackson. Hell, even add in Prescott, Herbert and maybe Purdy, and this is at worst an 11 win team.

If this is an average roster with poor QB play, then Stechen is a genius. Especially when you consider that he had to deal with Bradley's stupid ass defensive shortcomings.

Agreed. If we get even average play out of Jones, Bortolini, and Goncalves, and avoid major injuries, the offense will be fine.

I really don’t know what to expect from the defense, but I’m cautiously optimistic.

We really aren’t that far from being pretty good.

Of course, there are a lot of teams that can say that.

And Brents, Womack and Woods get claimed by other teams.

The Colts tried to claim two LB's through waivers. They also put in a claim for Cam Jones...but the Jets had a higher priority on the waiver order.

And a little interesting that only one team put a claim in on Brents but two teams tried to claim Womack.

Looks like Land his headed back to where he began his NFL journey.

He initially signed with the Cowboys as an UDFA and had a terrific first camp.

However, he failed to make the initial 53 man roster and was waived...and the Colts made a waiver claim.

After he missed the cut this year with the Colts, it appears he decided to return to Dallas and sign with the Cowboys practice squad.

The Cowboys are adding DEs Isaiah Land and Dayo Odeleye to their practice squad and would like to bring back CB Zion Childress. If Childress clears waivers, the Cowboys would have to release a player from the practice squad.

I hope you're right. And, truth be told, I'm probably being overly pessimistic about this season. I'm just tired of mediocrity and the AR/Daniel Jones stuff. And the Ballard stuff. I watched that presser and it wasn't as bad as people made out. It wasn't great, but...meh. I think I'll just shut up and see how the first couple of games go. Hopefully they'll surprise me.

Hope so.

Ju Ju is spilling his guts right now, telling Miami all about Shane’s most brilliant plays!
