Several well known veterans and a few, much prized rookies and second year signal callers are out of work as of this past Saturday. One of those 'sophomores' players is former Louisville star QU Brian Brohm. It's not everyday a team releases the player who was the No. 57 overall pick less than two years ago. Why you ask? Plain and simply, he has been bad. Since being 'handed' over the number two spot behind Aaron Rodgers, Brohm has never found his grove. Because of his high draft status, he will most likely land somewhere. But what ever happen, it will be a far cry from a once highly touted prospect. Another QB cut was Minnesota John David Booty. The former Trojan signal caller and 2008 fifth round pick is expected to clear waivers and resign with the Vikings.
The New England Patriots parted way with Kevin O'Connell and Andrew Walter, leaving the job of backing up Tom Brady to 2009 free agent Brian Hoyer. O'Connell, a third round selection last spring, never lived up to the high expectations the team placed on him.
Washington let got Hawaii's record setting QB Colt Brennan and 2009 free agent Chase Daniels. Brennan, who had a very good camp in 2008, failed to make serious improvements this past year. Daniels, a former Missouri star quarterback, is expected to be signed by the Redskins as a practice squad player.
Several well known veterans also got axed Saturday. Among them is Todd Bouman. Jacksonville send the former FA veteran packing to make room for recently signed Luke McCown. The Atlanta Falcons said goodby to DJ Shockley.
One of the most notable cut was that of Joey Harrington. The 3rd overall pick in the 2002 draft was release, for the second time in one year, by the New Orleans Saints. Look for Harrington to land, either with the Carolina Panthers or the Buffalo Bills.
