The magic word of the day is......AXE.The NFL final cut down day is fast approaching and rumors are flying around all over the league. All teams must have there final rosters down to 53 by 4pm Saturday.
With nearly no one notable playing at all during the Browns final preseason game last night who knows who could be left off the list tomorrow.
But lets speculate.....
First and foremost, Derek Anderson (from WFNY) If we can get a draft pick or another usable OLineman, lets do it. Last I heard was that the Patriots will only have two QB's on the roster by tomorrow.
Then the "Lets get a last look at RB James Davis". He may have single handedly extinguished Jamal Lewis's career as a Brown if not entirely. No one questions Lewis's heart or work ethic but it's that time in a running backs career where it's time to hang'em up. His burst, spring, cutting, and speed is next to nothing anymore.
If Lewis does get the axe, it will be interesting to see if someone a little younger with experience is signed. This would leave James Davis and Jerome Harrison the two lone RB's left on the roster.
David Patten....Last night was his first time playing out of the 4 preseason games. But he's 35 and so far the WR depth chart should look pretty close to Edwards, Cribbs, Furrey, Massaquoi, & Robiskie.
I don't think C Hank Fraley gets the axe for the simple fact that he is probably to valuable in that he has been playing some guard and it's still uncertain how rookie Alex Mack will pan out with the first team.
Check back often has any stragling info I find, I'll post for your pleasure. Such as a little Tweet update from D'Qwell Jackson (DQ52):
