When do the first wave of roster cuts come in?

When do they start coming in before the next preseason game and who do we think is getting cut?

Also would any back up QB's be cut about now or not till after preseason game 4? I'm happy with Boykin as back up but I know others aren't.

August 30: 4 PM ET deadline for teams to reduce their rosters to 75 players.

I think Boykin has shown the coaches enough that he has earned their trust. I liken it to when RW won the starting role in the preseason over Flynn.

Do the hawks wait to the last minute to make cuts or will we start seeing them come in now so players have chances to make other rosters?

They'll take some time to evaluate the film of the last game before making any cuts. I would expect them to make cuts on Monday.

Not only is it last minute, but we often don't know anything even hours after the deadline except for tweeties from reporters, which aren't always 100% correct.

Stuff should start to leak out by tomorrow I'd think. They'll have a bunch of cuts by Sunday, maybe wait another day or so for guys who are battling injuries (like Kasen).

I figured this one too.....and the really not sure guys on Tuesday at 3:59:45......pm.

P&J usually release players a day or so early, especially the "easy" decisions. I'd expect some announcements this weekend.

This is pretty accurate as that's pretty much been the case in previous years. The final wave of cuts tends to be the trickier ones as those are usually the more talented group of players. This first round of cuts is pretty much a given. There are usually a few who earn a chance to stick around a little longer, but for the most part, these cuts should come in well before the deadline.

Well, and the Practice Squad is on everybody's mind. First cut players are not necessarily slated for PS consideration, although there is some strategy there. There may be a "handshake" agreement for them to come back, but they'll be out there for two weeks with agents looking for jobs for them.

So who do we think are locks to be cut this week?

You are correct in the fact that the PS is a definite consideration for the next round of cuts which makes them that much more interesting IMO.

Jobs will be scarce at the moment unless you play a position that a particular team may have had some injuries, so the market for any player will be limited after this round of cuts.

One thing about Pete and John, is they'll keep these guys in the rolodex and if we have injury issues, our pool of cuts is usually the first place they look.

Well... I think that this new long snapper (can't remember his name) should be on the bubble because his snaps makes me nervous. They are low too many times which makes me nervous for Jon Ryan. I'm told he was signed for cap reasons over Gresham, but the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." I know this doesn't apply to all rookies, but for this guy they need to make a call to Gresham unless he was already scooped up by another team.

:lol:

Pete is pretty good about letting Vets go early so they can catch on with someone else, if we have someone that is going to take their spot. It makes headlines and we tend to get a ball in our stomach but it works out well most times, unless they are a longsnapper...................

Anyone hear/see anything yet? Some got me thinking that they really do filter in early and I'm just crazy.

The first cut is usually pretty obvious, it's the next one that's tough.

Saw a report that there were some veterans in the first wave, but no mention as to who.

Siliga and Browner maybe?
