No you did not.

Can we take Tps away?  What an idiotic troll comment.

Read a couple of stories that Baylor is going to be bought out and waived!  Too bad, Baylor and Walsh, back to back draft busts.

Source? I highly doubt this.

I have not seen this either and also have doubts.  Scheierman is fully guaranteed at about $2.6M.  Davison has $0 guaranteed (fully guaranteed in January) and Walsh only has $200,000 guaranteed, fully guaranteed on opening night.  I would think Davison is the first to go if they waive anyone, and then Walsh. I think Walsh is better than Scheierman but not enough better to warrant eating $2.6M in Scheierman salary in order to keep him. 

They are about $331K over the 2nd apron right now per Sportrac (and this looks accurate).  They don't necessarily need to resolve that at the start of the season.  But being over could limit them in some trades, for example if they wanted to combine salaries or take back just a few dollars more than they send out.  A couple of million dollars of buffer would add some flexibility.  My guess is they don't waive anyone now unless they have to for a specific deal and they need to get under the second apron.

This. I admit I have soured on Walsh during this SL, in spite of good numbers. The two techs were a big issue for me. He s a 3rd year player and should not be making mental mistakes like that. I also feel like he has been trying too hard to score and show he is the best player on the SL roster. Yes, he is just 21 and Baylor is 25, but Baylor seems to have a smarter head. His football quarterback experience comes through.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but does anyone know what Bassey?s prior commitments are? I mean is he playing overseas or something? I?m still hoping we can sign him for the minumun.
