The final first cuts are in.

Man Shoate is another pick down. After only two years. If LeSeur, Mauck and Luke don't stick (and assuming we get something for Pierce), then we'll be batting 7/20 in the in the '03 and '04 draft.

Forgot to add that Jeff Shoate is on the list. That is a bit of a surprise to me. I thought he might be put on IR, but he was cut instead.

westcliffe · 08-30-2005, 01:56 PM

Sorry BloodSunday, you posted while I was adding my post about Shoate.

I too expected Shoate to be on the IR. Since he only played in 7 games last year, isnt he still eligible for the PS? Isnt the standard 8 games or something?

DBroncos4life · 08-30-2005, 01:59 PM

Shoate huh? Can't say that Im shocked.

That's what I thought as well. That is why I thought he would be put on IR.

i4jelway7 · 08-30-2005, 02:06 PM

thankfully the Broncos realized Shoate has no value to this team

DBroncos4life · 08-30-2005, 02:07 PM

Well maybe they thought the knee wasn't going to get better even if he sat out a year.

elsid13 · 08-30-2005, 02:08 PM

Was Shoate injuried? I thought he was still having problems with his knee. Must of been a Gibbs pick.

Mr. Trout · 08-30-2005, 02:09 PM

Why in the hell does Denver need to keep Nwokorie?

My thoughts exactly

SoCalBronco · 08-30-2005, 02:14 PM

Shoate actually was really good at run support last year in the preseason.

BMF Bronco · 08-30-2005, 02:28 PM

Didnt we just sign Luther Ellis?!

Hotrod · 08-30-2005, 02:38 PM

Do we save some kind of $ by putting nowajiawhatever on the IR instead of cutting him

Well cutting him is the only way to get him to the practice squad, if that is what they are thinking.

I'm sure the coaches want a lot of bodies on the d-line and o-line to use in this week's game vs Zona, so cutting Shoate early vs next week might have been their only option.
