Clint Gresham (thanks Seahawks Addict)
Practice Squad – David Howard (DT), Jameson Konz (DE/OLB), Ricardo Lockette (although I don’t think he’d clear waivers -WR), Mark LeGree (S), Lemeul Jeanpierre (OG/C), Michael Morgan (LB), Chris Carter (WR), Vai Taua (RB)
PUP -DT Colin Cole, CB Roy Lewis, WR Deon Butler, TE Cameron Morrah
Notable leave-offs - Atari Bigby (safety), Paul McQuistan (OG), Thomas Clayton (RB), Mark LeGree (Safety), Kennard Cox (CB)
Seems like John Carlson slipped off this list. Should he be on the PUP, or is he not even a notable leave off?
I want to keep Clayton. There is just no way he clears waivers and he’s proven he’s a true goal line back. I don’t think we’re getting rid of LeGree, though. I think you’re probably pretty spot-on with everything else. There’s always going to be a surprise or two.
It sucks that we have 2 very similar backs in Washington and Forsett. One of those guys will not be on the roster next year.
Trade Forsett (as much as I’d hate it) and keep Clayton to have a more dynamic backfield? Hmmmmm….
Why is the comments section so infuriatingly hard to read? Anybody else getting that?
You really think they leave Atari Bigby off the roster, though? Hmmm… I don’t know. I think he’s on there before Pinkard/Johnson.
Carlson is out for the season, so he’s IR, basically. Doesn’t take a roster spot. Derek’s right to leave him off here.
