Dave Birkett keeps the news coming. The latest victims of roster cuts appear to be wide receiver Dominique Barnes and tight end Gijon Robinson

Neither of these cuts come as a big surprise.

Here is the updated cut list from today:

Robert Callaway (DT)	Donald Thomas (OG)
Nate Hughes (WR)	Rudy Niswanger (C)
Quinn Pitcock (DT)	Nathan Vasher (CB)
Keyunta Dawson (DE)	Nick Harris (P)
Paul Pratt (CB)	Ricardo Silva (S)
Cobrani Mixon (LB)	Aaron Francisco (CB)
Kirk Chambers (OT)	Derrick Williams (WR)
Ian Johnson (RB)	Dominique Barnes (WR)
Prince Miller (CB)	Gijon Robinson (TE)

That's 18 down, nine to go.

9 players

thats 2 centers 2 LB’s 1 TE 1 FB 1 T 1 WR and a QB unless they really like Zac and cut another RB or another WR

I thought being lazy was a bad thing, So I gave up thinking.

Anthony Madison CB, Caleb Campbell LB, Narada WIlliams DE, Johnny Culbreath OT (IR), Chris Morris C, Joe Jon Finley TE, Matt Clapp FB, Tim Toone WR, Zac Robinson QB.

sad to see some of these guys go

Really liked Harris, Johnson, Pratt, Silva, and Pitcock…hope they can catch on with another team or PS available players get picked back up by the Lions.

Pratt will be on the practice squad

I spent serious $$$$$ from the Cigar Funds to the other 31 teams who wanted him badly to keep their hands off.

I thought Nick Harris was supposed to be pretty good.

apparently not.

Harris has been basically

a league average punter throughout his career. Never bad, but never good. Just there. Really, that’s ok for a punter, but if you can replace him with an identical player and save a lot of money, no reason not to.

Harris

was really the only surprise i saw, guess Donahue is pretty good
