Hi, today is gonna be a post where I just list all of the big trades, cuts, and signings that went on yesterday on cutdown day. Here it is:
Seahawks cut WR's Kasen Williams and Cyril Grayson and QB Trevone Boykin:
As a Seahawks fan I was shocked and sad to see the Hawks cut 2 promising receivers that I really liked. Williams had a great preseason which is why I'm surprised. Grayson didn't have a great preseason but had a lot of potential and the team should have kept him. The Boykin cut was also saddening for me. Boykin has been an amazing backup in the preseason for the Seahawks and has shown so much potential. It doesn't make sense to me why the Hawks are cutting really good players just because they haven't COMPLETELY SHINED yet.
Colts trade WR Phillip Dorsett to Patriots for QB Jacoby Brissett:
This was a HUGE deal. While neither players are elite or even close this was a big deal. First, Brissett was a promising QB for the Pats and if they didn't want to overpay for a backup in Jimmy Garopollo they could have just kept Brissett who has proved to be a great backup and he could have possibly been the future successor for Tom Brady. I forgot to mention that Brissett threw 5 touchdowns in the last preseason game this year. Dorsett was a former first round pick receiver who hasn't had a chance to shine. Maybe the Pats can get something out of him. Brissett will likely start at QB until injured Andrew Luck is back from injury and then Brissett will be a great backup for the Colts.
Buccanners sign S TJ Ward:
The Bucs were the winners of the TJ Ward sweepstakes. For not much money, the Bucs brought in a starting safety thats been a pro bowler 3 times and has also been All-Pro. This was a great pickup out of nowhere so close to the start of the season.
QBs Brad Kaaya, Kellen Moore Cut, Broncos Sign Osweiler:
Some QB news happened yesterday also. Rookie QB Brad Kaaya who was a promising backup was surprisingly cut. He was a highly touted QB prospect that a lot of people knew. Kellen Moore, the longtime Cowboys backup has also been cut. Its surprising because now the Cowboys have good, but in-experienced rookie Cooper Rush as the only other backup on the team. Moore was also the only lefty QB left in the league. Brock Osweiler is headed home. Days after being cut, the Broncos signed Osweiler to a 1-year deal for the league minimum. This is the team Osweiler was drafted by and was going to be the QB of the future when he signed surprisingly with the Texans out of nowhere. Now Brock is headed back to backup Trevor Siemian as Paxton Lynch is injured for the first few weeks of the season.
Other Notable Cuts: WR Jeremy Kerley, LB Riley Bollugh, QB Josh Johnson, OT Eric Winston, O-lineman Alex Boone
Thanks for reading some of the big news that happened!
