That's my understanding too. By signing Murphy to the active roster it cleared a spot on the PS for Starling.

Yes he is unless another team wants to sign him to their active 53 man roster.

So another team can offer these guys a good deal on their roster and they can be gone. BUMMER!
I don't want to see Starling get away!

Like we all debated to death a few weeks ago, I didn't see Starling as a guy who would catch very many passes this season. His special-teams speed and work ethic were what impressed me.

It's nagging at me that the week after we get smoked for a 99-yard kickoff return for a TD, we cut one of our fastest guys in kick coverage. Granted, there's a lot more than just one guy's speed to blame for THAT momentum-killer, but these practice squad moves do take a toll.

Whenever someone around here says, "Look! Team X cut Player Y! We should sign him right now!" The response is always, "OK, who would you cut?" I hope this was a good decision in a special-teams context as well as an offensive context.

Im am still baffled as to why Shantee Orr is not on the active roster. When he was in the games, even for a few plays, he seemed to wreak havoc. I am just kinda suprised that after what he showed them, they put him on the PS.

Cleveland sounds like a team that could be in need of a new TE. Just a thought.
