This is reasonable review of 53 man roster plus three. Are trades being considered?

pssst: Here's an easy cut - Cecil Shorts. We've got five better receivers than Sir Drop-a-holic. Save us $1.6 million in cap space. Do it, Bill.

Aren't you the guy who said we didn't need to draft a WR because we had Cecil Shorts?

Sounds like shorts and Hunt are being released.

Maybe one more by 3 pm.
