Looking at the list, my initial reaction was not to elaborate. I noticed that Tim Bulman and Frank Okam pushed ahead of Anthony Maddox, who was cut after having a sack and an interception in Thursday’s game. Also, the release of Roosevelt Colvin was a suprise. He was a fairly meaningful off season addition and I fully expect to see Colvin be signed by another team shortly. I didn’t fully agree with the cut of Mark Simmons (WR from Kansas), but then again, we already have a small, quick receiver with Derek Anderson. Finally, I was a bit torn when I saw that Darius Walker had been cut. Darius has the potential to be a decent back up in the NFL and don’t be suprised for him to be added back to the roster if Chris Brown is cut.
