I don't think teams will be scrambling to grab him if he's cut. He could make it to the practice squad. A lot of teams have preseason stars like this.

Remember Marcus Rush?

did he play well against starters or just scrubs like him?

Mostly scrubs. I think he got in pretty early but I don't think Denver started all of their top starters.

Wish he played on the O line!

We have fantastic d line depth now. They should find a trade partner and get a young guard or center of equal promise etc.

Difference is Givens started and also got national attention due to Brian Baldinger putting his film on for everyone to see. Rush sucked at defending the run. Givens is being talked up by analysts and it's unlikely they would do so, or call him the "best DL" in that game if there wasn't something to it.

I remember a few here pointing out how he ate up that risner dude most wanted and isnt he a starter?

Nobody is gonna trade for a rookie UDFA based on a couple of plays in a preseason game.

Yeah, thanks a lot Scott Geelan and Brian Baldinger. Now we can't even stash this guy on the PS. Seatlle will be all over him esp. with the Reed suspension.

If we find a taker for Arik Armstead and trade him say for 4th/5th rd in 2020, would we have to pay any of his 9m GTD salary or it comes completely off the books??

We don't need his pass rush and kentavious street could replace his run defensive prowess hopefully! Beside AA is always injury prone and need that money to extend DeFo!

It's already guaranteed. So we would eat 9 million for no reason. It seems extremely unlikely he returns in 2020 though.

Why settle for a 4/5th when you are guaranteed a 3rd if he leaves in free agency.
