So August 31 is 75-man roster day in the NFL. I'm keeping an eye out for any surprising moves but I think most of the guys 1 year removed aren't in any danger (aside from Tribble, who is in the UFL now). This years hopefuls seem to be struggling though.
For those not following Chris Crane, Francois, Robinson and Purvis all got UFA contracts. By August 12 Crane, Francois and Robinson had been released. Crane was resigned when Sorgi got hurt but was then released again on the 22. Francois was released by the Vikings but picked up pretty quickly by the Lions who released him today. B-Rob hasn't seen any action since he was released by the Eagles earlier this month. That leaves Purvis as the lone member of the 08 hopefuls.
I watched the Buc game the other day and he looked pretty good, especially going against 3rd and 4th team guys. The only TE with more receptions is 2nd stringer Stevens and the other 2 guys have pretty much nothing. Things working against him however are at least one drop I've seen as well as the fact that Kellen Winslow is not getting cut anytime soon. He does have a pair of aces up his sleeve though, aces named Jagodzinski (the offensive coordinator) and Steve Logan (HB coach)
chances of making the 53-man roster: 10 : 1
practice squad: 3:1
