They've done it quite often. I know they did it in 2017 when they traded for Vance McDonald a week before the season began.

Has Mason done enough to fetch us a 4th rd pick?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:37
That would be high in my opinion.

There are reports we released Oladukin.  Would have been nice to get an OL, OLB, or ILB with that pick.  That being said, what do you see as the most likely scenario....Mason makes the team, we sign a different QB3, or we go with 2 QB on the roster?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:37
Mason makes the team.

Think Pouncey or Big Al can be coaxed out of retirement?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:38
Have you seen Pouncey lately. He looks like he's down to about 210.

How is Harris recovery from his foot injury, any concerns there?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:38
No he's good. They're just being cautious.

In your mock 53 you didn't even mention Rashed, despite his being elevated to to run with the first team D in practice for at least a day.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:38
Yes I know.

Last year you heard Ben say he went back to the way he used to do things, and it worked (now and then). Is it time for the OL to go back to doing things they are comfortable with and work in other techniques slowly?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:39
They have to do whatever it is that won't get the QB hit in 1.5 seconds.

What’s the real story with Tuitt?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:39
He no longer had the desire to play football.

In your opinion is Snell better than McFarland?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:40
Yes.

This team looks good except for our OL - do you believe they have both the talent and coaching to be atleast average??
Ray Fittipaldo

We're going to find out soon.

Will Robinson get any 1st team reps this weekend? He’s really stood out against 3rd teamers. And in your opinion how far is he from being able to give them some snaps in a real game based on his own play meriting it, not because of injuries.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:41
He's been good, but not sure they have designs on him playing right away. He took reps with the 1s yesterday because Bush did not practice.

When do we hear who was let go today ?
Ray Fittipaldo

By 4 p.m.

Hey Ray! I don't get it, if Green was getting manhandled at center what made them think he could play guard? He's just to small to play any position on the line.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:43
It's looking that way. A player his size has to have perfect technique and a good plan he can execute against bigger defensive tackles, and Green has none of those things.

If a practice guy gets called up for a game, does he just the minimum salary divided by 17?  Do certain players get more than that?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:44
Yes one week's vet minimum salary.

What’s your take on the Ravens not coming to terms with LJ?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:44
Maybe it's smart. I'm not convinced he's worth $45 million a year.

Since coaches and Front Office don't count against any cap... How about the ownership group ponies up a offeer to move Munchak's entire family, with high paying jobs and luxary homes to Pittsburgh?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
What about a key to the city and Primanti Bros. sandwiches for life?

I see we just cut the #7 QB pick.  Hoping to see if he'll be able to pick up for the PS, or just not good enough?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
My guess is not good enough or they would have waited until next week to cut him.

Has there been any buzz about the team looking into JC Tretter potentially kicking Mason Cole to G?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:49
I haven't heard that. Tretter is 31, but he's been a good player in the league. There are rumors he's being blackballed due to his role with the NFLPA, but maybe he'll get a shot somewhere in the next few weeks.

I saw your projected 53-man roster, and wondered why you have Boykin over Sims as the 6th receiver? Thank you!
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
Special teams. Sims is basically the same player as Olszewski while Boykin is big and can play on coverage units.
Yates
2:51
Ray-  why so few run plays against Jags?  Who tipped you on value in drafting #30?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:51
I never reveal my sources, but let's just saw this guy is tuned into what's happening with the Cowboys.
