I don't like the decision to cut Ilm Manning. Having said that, under this regime, I can't recall the team made any major bad decisions in cutting the roster to 53 all these years.

trying to sneak an injured DJ Reed thru waivers was a mistake.

Yes that one. Anything else you can remembered?

We talked about this earlier in the off season, reed was the only one we could think of and that wasn't really a major deal.

this team has done an excellent job at keeping the right talent.

One interesting case was McKivitz. He didn't make the 53 in his second season, but nobody picked him up. He joined our PS and eventually made the team later in the season.

Matt Pryor is garbage... dude was letting defenders run right by him with him not noticing.

Hopefully if some surprise tackle gets cut from some other team, we cut Pryor for them.

I was hoping they'd cut Brandon Allen too but I guess with the new rule that the 3rd QB can be active in gameday without counting towards the 46 makes carrying three make sense.

That's good development. It's all about timing sometimes. He was a fifth round pick, right?

i never thought I'd miss brunskill. Hahah

every 2023 draft pick survived getting cut

Yeah, even the QB picked in the 7th round last year made the team.

Not bad for a 7th rounder coming off a major injury! Hopefully he gets a chance this year!

The only moves I'm mad about are Ilm Manning & D'Shawn Jamison getting cut, I told everyone Zakelj would make it, he did, they really like him a lot.

We kept moody on the 53, so either we IR him if he won't be ready for week one and roll with one of the guys we tried out for a month. Or he will be ready week 1.

i feel like he will be ready week 1

Yeah, I was too. Lol we are screwed if he's playing anyways. So what's the difference between having a guy on the practice squad all year that is playing at that point or Brandon allen?

just a waste of a roster spot in my opinion. It's a bigger concern later in the season than it is at the end. Not a big deal if we run out of QBs in the first half of the season vs if we do in the playoffs.

Or we sign another K to the practice squad and activate him for the Steelers game only while Moody is made inactive.
