Skip Bayless must be on suicide watch. And FYI the Montreal Alouettes own Tebows rights and Calvillo is hurt...

I wonder if Belichick asked him to play TE and he declined since they are very thin there after releasing Ballard and Fells. (Gronkowski hurt etc.)

Seneca Wallace? Packers are one hit away from becoming pretenders.

I don't think he tries the CFL, but this would be his best chance to do so.

He cant make wide passes in the NFL...he would be dead in the CFL with the bigger field.

The guy simply isnt a pro level QB, he apparently doesnt believe that himself which is why he is unemployed today instead of learning a FB or TE position.

...and likely excelling. That's the sad part.

Absolutely agreed. I've been saying he needs to switch positions since last summer. I think there is a place for him in the NFL, just not as a QB.

That's not happening because Marc Trestman was the only reason he was on that list to begin with, not even sure if he is on there anymore. And already stated that he throws like a girl.

I didn't know that, for a player to be placed on the IR (designated for return) you have to carry him on the 53 man roster until September 3th and at that time you can move over there. Billy Bajema was cut by the Ravens this morning but he was told to stay around. The Ravens are going to putting Dennis Pitta on the IR (designated for return) next Tuesday so I guess we will see Billy Bajema back on the roster. Pretty crazy as well looking at some of the guys the Ravens cut because I think shows they had a pretty loaded roster to begin with.

Yeah, Teebow isn't interested in a career as a pro football player. He only wants to be a NFL quarterback. Which he is not good enough to do. He can likely make more doing motivational speaking than playing in the CFL.

Yeah there HAS to be another plan in place.

Some Pack fans are speculating that TT will sign Jordan Rodgers off of the Bears practice roster and let him tutor under his big brother. even then though, he simply isnt anywhere near ready enough to play if needed. I would look at Jordan Palmer who the Bears released a couple days ago myself. He looked really shar in pre season. Who knows though TT always surprises.

Very surprised and disappointed that the Broncos cut Gerell Robinson. He had a great preseason. Hopefully he goes on the practice squad again.

Long snapper Brian Jennings has been released.

Significant in that he was drafted by the 49ers in 2000 and has been excellent ever since.

Edit: here is the article - a classy goodbye too.

To the various coaches that I played for, thank you, specifically, the first staff led by head coach Steve Mariucci. It was that group that taught me how to be a pro.

In addition, I'd like to thank this most recent staff, led by coach Jim Harbaugh, who has returned the 49ers to playing dominant football. I love this game and these men are true football men.

Another Andy Reid special. Can't believe that guy was left in charge of personnel as long as he was.

Chiefs cut Tony Moeaki. Talented guy who has health issues. If he gets healthy again I have to think he will catch on somewhere else. The health is a big if though.
