Today’s practice squad transactions:
New Orleans Saints
- Cut: QB J.T. Barrett
New York Giants
- Cut: DT Josh Banks
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: DT Treyvon Hester
- Cut: WR Greg Ward, WR Rashard Davis and DT Winston Craig
Tennessee Titans
- Cut (left squad): WR Damore’ea Stringfellow
Feel bad for J.T. Barrett. I think part of it is that any possibility of getting a break with the Saints in the future evaporated when they traded for Teddy Bridgewater. I think his route to an NFL future would have to go through the CFL.
I agree, JT was a good college quarterback and as a Ohio State Fan, I appreciate all he did while in college. Unfortunately, his game doesn’t translate to the Pro game. He’s more of a big running QB, but not very good as a pure pocket passer which is what the NFL wants. Yes he do better to go to Canada and hone his skills up there, much like Flutie, Moon and even Theismann did years earlier. Oh, god, that last sentence made me feel old. Kinda like when your father tells you there was no good music after Frank Sinatra.
