First cutdown is Tuesday, but some teams are getting a head start.

Chiefs just cut Jeff Smoker.

C'mon, "notable" is a subjective word.

ESPN Radio just reported that the Texans are considering cutting Dominick Davis. WTF?

They don't have Jonathan Wells anymore (about to sign with the Colts) and they passed on Reggie Bush in the draft.

Is Millen secretly running two teams at once?

Correction, teams need to be down to 75 men by 4 pm today, not 1 pm. I must have got that 1 pm reference from some silly west coast media source.

I had to turn the radio up when I heard that because I thought I heard it wrong. How many teams are hoping Davis gets cut just so they can steal him? That would go down as one of worst offseason of all time if Davis gets cut, Bush thrives and Williams is good but not a freak. I can't believe they would cut him for being banged up and not being able to see time in the preseason, as opposed to it being a philosophy issue. Kubiak is still thinking he is in Denver where they can just sprinkle running back dust on a guy and get 1000 yards

I think when Gary Kubiak said that Dominick Davis might not make the final cut, I think he may have meant that he would end up on the PUP list and then the IR.

Anybody hear the clip on WDFN from the interview with Len Pasquarelli? The dudes were calling him Todd Stinkston and Len got pissed off, asked them if they've over went over the middle vs. an NFL secondary, said this is going to be a short interview, and basically said see ya. hahahaha! Hilarious!

TB cut Jay Fiedler

I would think that he'd be a better option than Jeff George, but not that much better.
