Roster Cuts Began this morning

[Pappy13]

Question. If we have Will Yeatman, what do we need Jeron Mastrud for? Isn't Yeatman a converted TE? I'm assuming if he can play tackle then he can certainly block well enough to line him up at TE. Is there some restriction on numbers and where they can line up? He's got #60. Does that make him ineligible be lined up in a TE spot for a 2 TE look?

[Pappy13]

Miami will still cut or trade a QB and make a few other moves.

They'll cut or trade Moore, but another QB won't be coming Miami's way. I think Miami is happy with Tannehill, Devlin and Garrard to start the season.

Les Brown counts $833 against the Fins salary cap this year. I have never seen a guy count only a few hundred dollars against the cap before like this..lol

[MikeO]

The release of Kafka and Hoyer might now make it impossible to trade Moore. Why part with anything when you can get an equal player for free.  Moore might just be released

[MikeO]

Fins Practice Squad is  Chandler Burden, Jonathan Freeny, Fuller, Hogan, Josh Kaddu, Andrew McDonald, CB Diondre Pressley, Anderson Russell

[Spider-Dan]

Yay, Hogan on practice squad!  Maybe we'll see what he can do later.

I'm shocked BJ Cunningham didn't get a practice squad spot.  Maybe he sucked too much.

Fins wanted to sign him for the practice squad but BJ decided to sign with Philly instead. His agent said there are less moving parts in Philly and he feels its a better situation going forward.

The answer is partly yes & no. The #60 is an offensive line number. Offensive lineman are not eligible receivers which the TE position is.  With that said, there is an exception where you can bring in a lineman to play TE but they have to report to the officials they will be doing so which makes them eligible.

Cool, that's kinda what I thought but wasn't sure. So I'm gonna renew my question, why do we need Jeron Mastrud when we could just line up Will Yeatman in the TE position for 2 TE sets and such? He's a converted TE, he should be able to catch a pass if we needed him too and still be a nice blocking TE. The only concern I could see there being was that if you cut Mastrud and Yeatman ends up starting at tackle then you don't have a blocking TE, but honestly if Yeatman is our starting tackle, we have bigger issues than not having a blocking TE in my opinion.
