Kansas City Chiefs Roster Cut Downs Coming Next Week

in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Preseason

On Tuesday, Aug. 31 the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL will be required to trim their rosters from 80 to 75 players. Five days after that and they'll be getting it down to 53 players.
That's over a third of the (current) team that will be released in less than two weeks.
In that time, the Chiefs will have practice at their own facility as well as two more preseason games. Certainly a lot can change.
Many of the roster cuts are taking shape not necessarily by the guys losing spots but by the guys securing them. If last year is any indication, there are a few types of players we'll see get cut
- The surprise cut (Bernard Pollard)
- The veteran cut (Alphonso Boone, Zach Thomas)
- The UDFA cuts (Lots of 'em)
Then there will be the practice squad cuts. The guys that the Chiefs have to release (and then pass through waivers) so that they can be signed to the practice squad. A week from today, there will be quite a few worried Kansas City Chiefs as cut downs get closer.
Use the Chiefs roster to predict the five unlucky ones when they go from 80 to 75 players. I can think of five first and second year players who probably won't make it.

If Rudy is gonna start, I can see Weigmann being a veteran cut
Suprise cut? The entire 2009 Draft class.

ha, all of that would be VERY surprising
I bet MOST of the 2009 class is very safe, as Weigmann is…
Obviously, Succop and Jackson are guaranteed spots.
O’Connell, Brown and Washington would be VERY surprising cuts to me
Lawrence and Williams are probably the only 2 really on the bubble
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?
Agreed
Washington might be a bubble guy, but he seemed to be involved on a lot of special teams plays this week, so he’s probably going to be ok.
O’Connell went from a guy I thought would probably be cut to a guy I’m taking notice of, especially his blocking.
plus in case of injury problems he could fill in at CB or S

Yep
Odds are unless we keep 5 safeties, Morgan’s on his way out and even then it’s no guarantee with Langford playing fairly well. Unless McGraw’s the surprise cut.
Berry and Lewis are set, McGraw’s probably a solid bet, Washington will likely get at least one more year. Langford, Morgan and Price will have to show up on ST to have a chance.
I'd bet good money Langford makes it over Morgan

Weigmann isn't going anywhere. If Rudy get's injured, they'll have to just bring him back...
Weigmann isn’t a guy you can yo-yo like that at this point in his career. We’ll keep them both.

I was trying to see if you stuck someone different in there to test my skills. It’s mildly disturbing.
My entire intention was to stick a Wes Welker head in there to see if anyone noticed
But of course, I forgot and just ended with a cluster of Long heads.

He again Specifically called out the TE position for needed depth on the team along with the RB and DB I think. The Man just has a TE fetish I tell ya :)

I’ve long had a fascination with tight ends. They are useful on a football field too.
Wasn't Haley the screaming SOB supposed to have alienated the whole team by now? Something's wrong here...

First cut is usually pretty easy.
Can pick and choose who gets cut first or during the second cut. I think DuJuan Morgan goes though as well as last year’s darling, Lance Long.
John Russell
Corey Greenwood
Bill Stull
Verran Tucker
Leroy Banks
Playoff predictions? Really? From 4 wins?
I think they cut the other Greenwod who switched from D to Oline before they cut Cory Greenwood
Cory Greenwod has more tackles than DJ and has only played parts of the 4th quater last game and a goaline situation in game #1. I think you can add Lance long to the list. There’s no way he should make it past the first rd of cuts.
Lance Long
Don’t underestimate the value of him being a “Haley guy”
I am not convinced he makes the 53, but I’m also not sure Haley is in any hurry to cut him

At least we may not have to hear "Albert's a bust" as well
He seems to have silenced people with these last few games…
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
someone just the other day was arguing with me that he's not a LT
on Bewsaf’s post, which has a positive review of Albert…
so, it’ll happen, however un-justified it seems

I got into a debate with a guy about that too, now that I think about it.

It's not like we can't use some good developing talent on the OL...
I just can’t see BR not making the team unless there is a nice OT cut from a team that is stacked with OL players.

Well, since they know they won't keep 5 backs and maybe not even 4 because
McCluster is now in the mix but listed as a WR, there WILL be at least one RB in the first round cut.
Kestahn Moore will be one of the 5 cut. There’s no doubt about that.

I think the 5 cuts will be something like...
Moore
Tucker

Slate or Banks
and Stull
"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something."

My weird predictions
1) Mo Legg will be placed on some type of injury list, if not sooner
2) Stull will be gone sooner
3) V Tucker, T Eastman, D Santucci

Leggs will be on IR, so only 4 others get cut.
I think Stull makes it… not sure why, though :)

Stull stays because Croyle's getting cut from the final 53...

some other possible surprise cuts
Shaun Smith
Jackie Battle (yes, even after his good game the other night)
Terrance Copper (yes, he’s valuable on ST… but so are some of the younger guys with some upside)
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?
No way Smith gets cut
not because he’s great, but he’s been in the “rotation” along with the starters as both a DE and a DT. History with Romeo is a factor and just the other day Haley was saying something about how he was the one that got the D pumped up for their end of practice head to head with the offense.

I could see Battle getting cut
I think as of now he’s probably safe, but things can change.
Copper on the other hand, I would be surprised by. He’s doing a nice job setting that initial block for Arenas to cut off of.
Rather than cut
Maybe Battle has a 5th round pick market.

Just a guess
Maybe because Battle’s been here a few years now and hasn’t really shown much in admittedly limited action. Moore’s the shiny new toy with potential.
It's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest around here.

Heh
I thought Battle had a hell of a game sat, J. Williams is who i think is on the cut list especially if he doesn’t perform well the coming weekend. I also think Copper makes the team because of he ST play, but Q.Lawerence on the other hand could be getting cut. It hard to say what Haley and those guys are thinking about but if i had to pick 5 it would be
1- Cody Slate TE
2- John Russell ROLB
3-Tyler Eastman RT
4-Garrett Brown NT
5-Dajuan Morgan

I'm just excited for other teams' cuts
Let’s face it, there’s a lot of teams out there with more talent than we have, especially on defense (I’m thinking LB specifically here).
It’d be great to be able to bring in an upgrade or two.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
Agreed
Baltimore has quite a few guys on D-line that might be a slight depth upgrade and I’m sure some of the better 3-4 teams (Steelers, Patriots) have some guys that will get lost in the shuffle of their team, but could help out a team like ours.
Agree
I’d take a long hard look at ANY Baltimore NT’s that are cut (if any).
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
Also a good team to look at.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I'm hoping an ILB becomes available
I’m not holding out hope for an NT; even if one does become available, there will be a bidding war with all the teams switching to a 3-4. But I’ll be happy if we can upgrade at least one ILB.

Your nuts
He can play NT or DE…versatility is very important. You can save a roster spot with him….he can backup any position on the line. He looks to be the biggest guy we have and demands double teams. He is having a nice offseason.

Dion Gales stays
He is humongous and has improved vastly since last season. He has to be doubled every time. He gets a good push on the line and almost landed a sack against Rudy Carpenter to kill their drive.
He is big and fast enough to play NT or either DE positions…..
So far he has impressed me more than Tyson Jackson….just to be honest.

With all due respect....
Your wrong!
So let’s get this straight…
Chiefs sign Gales, an UDFA last season. He makes it though all the cuts and lands on the practice squad. He stays on PS all season and then gets a call up for the last 3 or 4 games of the regular season.
Then he reports to camp at a sturdy 310 ready to play with his new body and same agility. He plays both DE positions and can play some NT.
So let’s cut him???
No way! I don’t see your point….it makes no sense to cut Dion Gales when he is a very versital player who can be used in multiple formations. Dion will either make the 53 or the PS again….my gut says 53!

So whats up with Page
Does he count against the roster or no? Can we trade him if he doesn’t sign his tender?
I don't give a shit who gets cut...
…as long as we show up on 9/13 with McCluster, Berry, Arenas, D. Johnson, Flowers, Carr, Studebaker, Albert, Charles, Chambers, Bowe, Cassel, Jones, Jackson, Dorsey, and 78,000+ screamin’ Chiefs Fans.
Whoever gets the boot most likely won’t see much time on the field trying to improve our record. However, I do hope we can bring in a couple other guys released from other teams – especially who could provide strength in our run defense department.
As mentioned before, the Ravens have a shit ton of NT talent and size. They aren’t the only team with this problem with NTs and DTs. The Ravens, Patriots, Steelers, and Cowboys are just a few. I think it would be hillarious if Mt. Cody was cut by the Ravens and brought in by K.C. Not very possible, but just entertaining the thought is fun. Many of you here wanted him so bad on draft day and were extremely disappointed when his name wasn’t called, however everyone excited about our pickups now including some people not in our fan base….
