I think many saw this coming after the first week on the season. Contract reasons of course.

I'm thinking (usually wrong) they will move Dillon, TE to the practice squad to make room for Jones.  Didn't see a real reason to carry 4 TEs anyways.

Word is they never even cleaned out his locker, so that tells you this was coming for sure.

I wonder who gets cut to make room for him?  The 4th TE Dillon?  Watts at DT?  Abudallah at RB?  I can't imagine it would be Boyd (CB) with Mac getting dinged.

Did they already have a spot open? I don't know. Dillon had a nice block on one of Cook's runs. I would vote for Abdullah. Boone is a better back and Abdullah is a threat to fumble every time he has the ball. It's doubtul he'll ever win a game for us, but he could sure as hell lose one.

Considering they had to cut Jones to make room for Doctson, I don't think they have an open roster spot.  Someone needs to go and I totally agree...  I hope it's Abdullah because he's a walking fumble factory.  It was his biggest negative coming out of college too.

Hope not, but Mac Alexander may be going to IR.

They were saying 2-4 weeks pending MRI but I wouldn't count on anything with it.

It would be a surprise if his 810K would set the team back cap space wise.

Beebe lined up for the punt returns and Abudallah was the kick returner...

we only need a KR once a game if the defense steps up and pitches a shut out.

Yes, now that you mention it, I do recall Beebe fair catching a few (when we didn't cause a turnover).

 Actually, it relates to who has to pass through waivers and how contracts get guaranteed.  As a veteran, Jones did not pass through waivers (so he had total control of his destination).  Additionally, if he was on the roster week 1, his contract would have become guaranteed for the year.  So, I am sure they worked out a deal with him to make him whole and commit to coming back to the team.   If they had cut one of the rookies, that player would have been exposed to a waiver claim -- something more likely to happen in week 1 than week 2 (depending upon injuries on other teams).  

So, not a salary cap maneuver at all.
