No real shockers here. The closest thing might be McHugh. No big losses here.

closest thing to a surprise there is McHugh.

Bright had no shot though he could wind up on the practice squad because we seem to always have a TE on there and he could work as a DE on the scout team if he need him.

I said there'd be a rookie UDFA that'd make this team. I was wrong.

Peter King said that we liked London and have been looking for a place to stash him, but Grisham will get priority over him on the practice squad.

McHugh wasn't going to make it over Johnson. Johnson is a Tomlin pick.

Paxson has always been camp fodder. At least he went out with a sack.

Stewart is a bit of a surprise. I liked his coverage on punts, and Tomlin seemed happy to bring him back. I'm sure he'll be on speed dial.

Thornton is a hard hitter but didn't have a chance to stick. The backup safety jobs have been locked up for quite some time.

Vincent is just like Paxon. I hope we don't have to see him again.

I liked Williams. Thought he would make the team.

Yeah I'm not really surprised about anything either

No real shockers here.

The last 12 cuts have to be tough as hell for Coach T.

Agreed this is where Tomlin earns his money.
