I liked the part where @SpeedFlex27 quoted himself so he could regale us with his illustrious curling memoir.

Whether he comes back to Winnipeg or not, Strev will be a Bombers legend for life, after that playoff run (and all he did within it) and the post championship celebration... Afaic, he is a Bomber for

That would be quite the turn-around. Seems like he's hanging on by a thread.

He was cut 2 days ago. Already on another team. 
 

You expected him to start?

yeah....I think he will see a couple PR's....basically as a look see...then be back...ala Gray

I think he is significantly better than Jones who spent years down South and several other guys

Team's have to set their PRs. If he wasn't already on a team he'd 100% be done.

Already on his 2nd team this early seems like he is at the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of team priorities.

Sure, as long as you  have a jersey on you back, there's a chance - but it is a looooong shot right now.

I don’t believe that to be true at all. Especially for a OL

It more or less is true. He needs some divine intervention from the football gods now. That is not to say he doesn't have the talent, just the opportunity to use that talent may never materialize before his team finds another shiny bauble to place on it's PR and shuffles him out to make room. However, if the Saints were to have a run of injuries on their OL, Drew could draw in and from there I believe he would turn heads.

Jones was a centre. Not an apt comparison. OGs are a dime a dozen in comparison.

More than likely what happens. Although, if he does get rostered and starts it may earn him some time up there.

In the US the medical benefits Trump the 25 30k. 

For sure. That is huge as well.

I am a Belichick fan but he has made some bad player moves. quite a few.

I am as well but it's starting to feel like Bill is losing it a little more than previous years ( I'm a Pat's fan). Will never sign big contracts,I have no clue how the offense will look this year.

So has everyone. But, they signed him and kept him through camp., so, they obviously don't rate him that highly.

They didn't view him as highly as 16 other cuts they made, that's for sure. Who knows, maybe he is a guy they really liked but there simply were other guys they liked more. At the end of the day though, DD didn't do enough to earn a spot.

The guys who clear waivers don't have to join the PR of the team that cut them.  They are free agents.  Quite possible Desjarlais shopped for the best opportunity.

Definitely could be looking for more opportunity

So... if Flacco and White both suck it up badly against the Ravens... does Streveler get on the active roster?

Not after one week. *

EDIT: *barring injury to one or both.

Flacco of course doing nothing for Jets as QB.  90 yards 46 QB rating 0 points on board.

He's looking about as good as he looked in the pre-season game.

Unless he turns this game around hard I can't see it being politically feasible to keep him as their starter for another game.

The bearish outlook on Streveler is what happens once the starter is healthy.  Do they move white to the practice roster and release Streveler? Or do they cut Flacco and keep Streveler on pr?

They usually keep three on the roster. So, Steveler will go back to the PR, once Wilson is back.
