Would he be an upgrade over Fitzpatrick if the Texans picked him up?
What about the Rams? They're looking for a QB since Sammy B. went down...
It truly is some kind of crap shoot. Adrian Peterson was criticized coming out of Oklahoma for his somewhat upright running style. He's 6'1.He's really not that "small" just short. 5'9 but like 210. Pretty build tbh
Eddie George was horrendously tall at 6'3. Eric DIckerson was also 6'3 and had the upright running style later tagged to Peterson.
Eric Dickerson:
Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma (Upright running style):
Eddie George, before Ray Lewis went Ray Lewis on him:
Ultimately, a RB could be nicked if he's 5'9 and considered too tall if he's 6'1. This only leaves a desirable height between 5'10 and 6'0. Ouch.
Pryor had a terrible offseason with the Hawks, the fact they kept Tavaris over him should note that well.
I see the Rams potentially signing Pryor but from what I understand they may also end up just taking the loss this season.
Apparently PK Alex Henery has been told he will be released by the Eagles meaning PK Cody Parker will take over primary duties.
Looks like Slantonio Holmes will have himself a real role in the Bears offense.

What is wrong with T Jack? He is one of the better backup QBs in the league. TP will land on his feet. He won't be out of a job for long. No shame in getting cut from one of the most loaded rosters in the league.
@Snowman , the Ravens have confirmed the release of the following players as of 10:30 am, Saturday morning:
Saturday
TE Phillip Supernaw
Released
Baltimore cut tight end Phillip Supernaw, according to The Sun. Supernaw was competing with Nathan Overbay behind Dennis Pitta
, Owen Daniels
and rookie Crockett Gillmore
. Supernaw is a former Houston Texan who was a frequent target in practice, but he didn’t have a catch in the preseason. Supernaw reportedly will head to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
DT A.J. Pataiali'i
Cut
The Ravens have reportedly cut undrafted rookie defensive tackle A.J. Pataiali'I, according to The Sun. Pataiali'I is a Utah State product who was competing with fellow undrafted defensive linemen Jamie Meder
and Levi Brown. Brown was released on Friday.
QB Keith Wenning
CutThe Ravens have cut rookie quarterback Keith Wenning, per The Sun. Wenning was competing for the third quarterback spot behind Joe Flacco
and Tyrod Taylor
. He had a successful preseason finale, completing 8-of-13 passes for 117 yards. The Ravens haven’t kept three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster since 2009. Wenning could be headed for the practice squad if he clears waivers.
G/C Ryan Jensen
Cut
Baltimore cut offensive lineman Ryan Jensen, reports The Baltimore Sun’s Aaron Wilson. Jensen was a sixth-round pick in 2013 but did not play in a game as a rookie due to a foot injury. The Ravens kept him on the active roster to get him experience in practice, however. Jensen entered training camp competing for the starting right tackle position, but was eventually moved inside to guard. He had a tough time in the preseason finale in New Orleans.
G/C A.Q. Shipley
Waived
In one of the biggest-name cuts yet, the Ravens reportedly parted ways with guard/center A.Q. Shipley, per Wilson. Shipley started nine games at left guard last year after Kelechi Osemele
went down with a back injury.
RB Fitzgerald Toussaint
Cut
Toussaint, who rushed 17 times for 103 yards in the preseason finale, has been cut, according to Wilson. The undrafted Michigan product was originally signed by the Ravens after a minicamp tryout. Toussaint could land on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
Friday
UPDATE: The Ravens confirmed the cuts of Reggie Stephens, D.J. Roberts, Levi Brown, Derick Hopkins and Nathan Overbay.
Center Reggie Stephens Cut: One of the first players released is center Reggie Stephens, according to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. The former Bengals seventh-round pick spent last season on the Ravenspractice squad, and was behindJeremy Zuttah
and Gino Gradkowski
on the depth chart.
Tight End Nathan Overbay Cut: The Ravens have reportedly released tight end Nathan Overbay, according to Wilson. Overbay was a former undrafted prospect who entered the NFL in 2010 and has bounced around several teams’ practice squads. The Ravens signed him in December and he spent the entire offseason with the team.
Outside linebacker D.J. Roberts Cut: Undrafted rookie outside linebacker D.J. Roberts has also been cut, per Wilson. Roberts played his college career at Tennessee-Martin and was signed by Baltimore in May after the draft. He saw limited time during the preseason and was also trying to make the team at one of the deepest positions on the field.
Rookie Defensive Linemen Released
The Ravens have cut undrafted rookie defensive tackles Levi Brown and Derrick Hopkins, according to The Sun. The young defensive linemen saw limited reps during the preseason, as they are playing behind Haloti Ngata
,Brandon Williams
and fellow rookie Timmy Jernigan
. Brown and Hopkins could both be candidates for the practice squad.
I expected them to keep Shipley, guess he wasn't impressive this offseason. (Not that he was anything special last year.)

Am I the only one who wants to see Michael Sam get cut just so I can see the reactions of everyone on twitter and FB?

The fact that he got a couple sacks and showed a lot of class during the preseason means that won't happen.. he deserves to make the team.
