UConn in the NFL

[UCFBfan]

Indy won this trade and it's not even close. Sio was a beast when he played on Oakland for the short time he was there and Indy is in desperate need for a LB. Bringing in Sio, who's under team control at league minimum for 2 more years in exchange for a 6th round pick? I'd take that deal any day. Major upgrade for Sio as well. Be on a team that wins and is classy vs being in that hell hole that's called Oakland? Not even close.

Just add another chip on Sio's shoulder.

Did you just call the Indianapolis Colts organization "Classy?" Because I can point to at leat 4 major instances (3 in last 4 years) as evidence to the contrary.

The situation is heads & shoulders above Oakland, but I'be careful about assignig the term, "classy," to it.

You could probably say the same about every NFL organization but yeah, I'd call them classy vs what that craphole is in Oakland

Chuck Pagano is a a classy coach...Jack Del Rio has a over inflated image of himself. Guys like John Fox go from Denver to Chicago...guys like Del Rio go from Jacksonville to Oakland and have to make DC stops in-between. Enough said.

Indy's become a pit stop for UConn players in recent years - Donald Brown, Darius Butler, DanO (briefly), now Sio.

James Jones cut for the NYG. More room and maybe some touches for Geremy Davis

 

[BugsyCT]

Todman cut by Carolina.

Packers should pick him up again.

If I was on the Raiders, I would not mind being traded one bit. Just sayin'.

Still trying to figure out how a guy with a losing record as a head coach (only 3 winning seasons out of the 9 seasons he was HC in Jacksonville) is gonna eradicate the losing atmosphere/attitude out of Oakland. Del Rio is a tool....

 

[Dooley]

Del Rio is your standard run of the mill filler coaching hire. He'll be there for 2 years, get fired after going a combined 10-22, and go find another job. Recycled waste.

This may work:

Sio Moore got cut today which is weird because I thought he was a good player for them

He actually got traded to the Colts for a 6th round pick.

Believe Scott Lutrus has his shot as well.

As diehard Raider Fan I hope you're way wrong. I have faith as I do every year. This shouldn't be anything new to anyone here, but I think think I can expect a couple more wins, despite the most difficult rated schedule in the league.

I'm aware...when I posted that initial reports were he got cut

 

[cryjeremiah]

Gotta think Todman gets picked up somewhere. Not sure how he doesn't stick permanent somewhere. For his career, he's averaging 4.1 yards per carry, like 7+ per catch and like 27+ per kick return.

It's hard to fathom just how difficult it is to make it through the gauntlet to be one of the 53. Kudos to all the Huskies who did this year, especially Geremy Davis and Nick Williams. First round picks like Byron Jones are heralded players who are almost assured of a spot. 6th rounders and undrafted FA's are extreme long shots. Husky Nation is smiling today.

I guess it helped that Jordan rushed for 72 yards against the Steelers in the final pre-season game. Le'Veon Bell is suspended for the first two games (substance abuse) so hopefully this isn't just a temporary insurance policy. Jordan averaged 5.8 yards per carry for an awful Jags team last year.

Yeah... after this 49 yd TD run, someone in the Steeler's coaches box took notice but they had a hard time getting a hold of "Jonathon"
