Altho we all hate covid , one thing the NFL did that helped out , was to allow more IRs, and then let 2 of them go from IR back to the 47. And that very rule (not sure the exact writing of it), may help us out with being able to Designate one of either Kerr or Street be on IR initially. It worked out well not just for us last yr but also other clubs too. Why that rule. Isn't made permanent , IDK.

One of Coach's toughest decisions will be who does he keep, Kerr or Street. KT gives versatility...he can play inside or out. He's had a terrific camp and despite not putting up crazy numbers of tackles or sacks, he's been doing a lot of the dirty work, just as he did at NC St for Chubb. He's also been in our defense for a lot longer. Kerr provides tremendous power in the middle, something we just didn't have at all last season. With Willis suspended for the first 6 games and Hurst out for at least a month, Coach may elect to keep both these guys, we'll see. Both are deserving, but the numbers game can possibly thwart that. Bosa and Ford coming off serious injuries lends further credence to keeping both players, I'd think. Kerr can b/u DJ Jones and Street can b/u either Bosa or Ford to keep the pressure on. Not sold on Key yet...he has quickness but not the power Street has.

Thankfully I don't think that decision will have to be made until after week 3 when Hurst comes off IR. Unless we only go with 9 on the Dline but I don't see that. And there is a chance someone will get hurt within those 3 weeks and Hurst can just trade places with that player. Or someone will play much worse than the others which will make the decision easier when the time comes.
I don't want to trade any of these dudes unless we got good value

Well , since we have what seems like 15 DLs I'd like to keep, all the teams calling need to do is ask for one of those we HAVE TO keep. Still 2 minutes to go so JL still has a shot. He got one pick already with a LB, so let's let the clock tell us.

Is 4pm eastern the deadline? Because only have a minute or so to cut like a dozen players.

Players have already been cut.

What's delayed is the reporting of it. Teams want to make sure that the players being cut are talked to first so they find out that way, not from Twitter. Can you imagine you find out you're being cut from some Stan on a Twitter feed before your coach talks to you? Lol
Alex Barrett deserves to make this team. I hope he does.
I hope we can stash Daniels on the PS for another year. I think he is going to be a solid NFL DT

I would have moved Givens for a 5th
