I'm most surprised about WR Rogers. Wasn't he a star in CFL, but got injured? I was hoping to see if he could contribute this season.

What was the point of them signing DiManche and McManis only to cut them a month later? Were they depth in case we didnt get the LB we wanted in the draft?

Got a tryout, didn't impress much, got sent packing. I love how decisive these guys are in moving on from players.

Was hoping Eric Rogers would get a chance. Guess not.

I wonder if Hamm / Rogers are PS eligible, but I don't think so.

Ouch. I wanted to see Rogers get a chance to see the field. I guess the ACL still isn't healing properly. Would rather have seen Ellington on there. Purcell was an obvious one. Dude had the opportunity of a lifetime being behind Mr. Glass Ian Williams and didn't take advantage of it at all.

With Rogers gone, do we have even one receiver over 6'?
