Knight of God Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000692419/article/notable-cuts-tracker-bjoern-werner-released-by-jags The Jaguars are counting on plenty of first-round picks on defense to step up this season, but Bjoern Werner isn't one of them. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the team has released the former Colts draft pick after Werner failed to climb the depth chart during the preseason. After struggling at inside linebacker in Indy, Werner was hoping a switch to defensive end in Jacksonville would reignite his career, but the fourth-year pass-rusher is instead looking for work. We expect Werner to get another chance as injuries mount league-wide, but the former Florida State star is running out of chances to make an NFL team. Here are the other notable cuts we are tracking Tuesday as teams trim their rosters to 75 players: 1. The Bengals released wideout and return specialist Brandon Tate, who had been with the team since 2011. 2. The Chargers released quarterback Zach Mettenberger, a source informed of the move told NFL Media's Rand Getlin. The Chargers engaged in talks with the Cowboys about Mettenberger before releasing him, Rapoport added. 3. The Minnesota Vikings have released veteran center John Sullivan. The 31-year-old had spent his entire career with the Vikings. "Our entire organization appreciates everything that John Sullivan has done for this franchise," general manager Rick Spielman said in a statement. "Sullivan led our team, not only with how he played the game, but also with how he handled himself in our community. We wish John Sullivan and his family nothing but the best as they move forward." 4. The Titans parted ways with second-year running back David Cobb. A fifth-round pick in 2015, Cobb tallied 146 yards in seven games for Tennessee. 5. The Broncos parted ways with punter Britton Colquitt after six years with the team.

WOR Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Zach Stacy was cut as well. That guy took off like a rocket and crashed HARD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert_Falcon Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Sullivan should get some play around the league if even as a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RING OF HONOR Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Werner played out of position in Indy...wasn't going to beat anybody out on the Jags line...right situation and team...i believe he could still be pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugger8 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I wanted Cobb out of that draft. Didn't follow him after that, so I don't know what went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South GA Bird Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I was really high on Werner coming out of FSU and really thought he would excel at this level. He's kind of a Bosa type guy that hasn't lived up to his potential imo. I would like the Falcons to take a shot at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdz4i Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 but why would another team cut a former first rounder? no way other teams miss on first rounders, only td. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdz4i Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 maybe interest in cobb. since we have no healthy backup rb for the last ps game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If Werner was any good he would have stuck on the Jags roster - if im not mistaken they don't have any good edge players besides Fowler. They didnt even wait until final cuts to let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) I think we're going with what we've got.....much much improved over last year Edited August 30, 2016 by Vandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatboi Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I don't really care for anybody on that list. I don't think any of them could bump anybody we already have. Backups included. Next wave of cuts maybe something will be there but this crop was crap!! As far as somebody that could make a difference. At this point it would just be a lateral move if we cut somebody for one of them. And I didn't like Werner coming out of college so...Nothing to see here imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team cuts a player and they're not significantly better than what we already have I'd pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlGM Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I would give Werner a chance to flash in the weeks preseason game. I don't think he had a chance in Jacksonville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point Cobb can't come in and uproot Wilds in one game. Healthy or not. I think wilds is #3 and ward is cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm all for giving folks a look. I wouldnt expect much but churning the roster is something the good teams do. Always try to get better, even at 50-53. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to be better than one guy on your roster they are worth bringing in. Continuous improvement no matter how small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Kent™ Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If Woerner got cut by the Jags who run a very similar defense to ours, then no thanks. Rams cut UDFA Marquez North. He has potential. Nice size and speed combo at WR. Something we don't have a lot of besides Julio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
