Geez, the knee injury must be pretty bad. This guy is/was a damn fine lineman.

If the Esks were severely shallow at his position, I'd say perhaps; I've always liked Cheatwood's play, but with his injury and with our depth, I'd say no. Then again, with the way things are shaping up at RB for camp, I wouldn't be surprised.

Tim is a great guy and an outstanding player. I'm very sorry to see him go. I hate cuts (even when they're necessary)

I didn't think a team could release a player who has been injured. At least without some form of compensation.

Takes bad penalties, at times has been indicated that he favours the pass rush too much over run responsibilites but the guy is a great pass rusher and works hard. I doubt if the Esks would pursue him but who knows. He'll find a home somewhere unless his salary demands are too high.

I wouldn't bitch if we bring him in... cheetwood/Braidwood on the outsides sounds nice.. but we also got some rookies we need to look at

Brandon Guillory will lead the team and possibly the league in sacks next year....you heard it here first.

Braidwood....Cheatwood.....Brown.....Guillory
Sounds like a good line to me

You cant bring in guy like cheatwood whose played DE his whole career and ask him to play DT his pass rushing will be hampered by playing in line not to mention that he would have to be stout against the run at all times.

Re: Cats release Cheatwood

No thanks. Injury prone and his best days are behind him IMO.

Re: Cats release Cheatwood

From what I understand he is only 28

Keep Alston to play inside, Cheatwood is a pass rusher he wouldn't be effective on the inside.

Re: Cats release Cheatwood

I agree with keeping Alston... more mileage in the long run!
