Hello, Chastin "Jerry Rice" West.

That's only if they keep 6 wrs. I have a feeling they won't because they will keep 5 TEs.

Happy trails, Havner and Swain. Sherman, we hardly knew ye.

I think the Packers are pretty high on West though. At least I hope they are. He looks like a diamond in the rough that could develop into something.

Hard cuts right there, Havner and Swain were hard working players who added some spunk to special teams and a slim addition to the offense. Oh well, in TT we trust...

Swain is probably the 8th best WR in camp and is probably third WR at best for special teams (Cobb, Gurley). He had no chance at making it. Havner was going against the most stacked position group, other than maybe WR.

I'm glad Havner is finally gone. I've gotten tired of hearing how valuable he is over the last few seasons. I appreciated his ability to step in when needed, but the guy isn't very good.

Oh, Swain, the memories we had together. Remember that time in the super bowl, when he caught that ball, and then fumbled it, and then recovered it, except he didn't fumble it because he didn't catch it. Yeah, those were the days.

WRs are going to be hard decisions. West has been awesome, and gurley has been a punt blocking god in practice.

By cutting swain and havner early i think it gives them the ability to sign with a team and get game experience with them first as they werent making this team
