    One down one to go. Just need to cut Kareem now and I'll be happy.

    Yeah, this seems to have been the source of the problem.

    Slaton tailed off some his last season at WVU, otherwise he'd have been drafted higher. I also enjoyed watching him and Pat White. Very fun team to follow for about 3-4 years.

    Finally... a step in the right direction with the Slaton situation. Thank you.

    I can't help but wonder if this is true? I mean he was seemingly running away from holes and into defenders. I doubt it'd help his cause to purposefully suck but he was just so far from where he was as a rookie.

    Would have won rookie of the year if it wasnt for CJ2K.

    Surprised they can't get a 7th from Arizona or Detroit. Hopefully this means they truly think Foster is ready to shoulder the carries.

    Why give up anything at all to pay Slaton his full salary when you can bring him in for peanuts after he's waived?

    If he were a sure thing, maybe...but anyone taking Slaton will simply be taking a look to see if he can help or not.

    Ogbonnaya sucks less than Slaton.

    I'll take that.

    He did fix his fumbling issue...and as a result, his aggressiveness took a hit and he turned into pure suckage.

    Wish we kept Jeremiah Johnson, he looked like he had some drive until turf toe or whatever last preseason.

    Damnit, I just bought his jersey at a garage sale for $2.95 ... I was gonna wear it Sunday at the game...Glad I didnt get that authentic signed rookie card for $0.50... Bob McNair should be ashamed of himself for tryin to hustle me...

    High Ankle sprain.


    I agree that Jeremiah Johnson is worlds better than Ogbannaya. I like Ogbannaya, but he has no business on an NFL field during the regular season.
