Top 10 NFL Players who need to be cut

This list is of 10 players, actually more, but some grouped together, who need to just flat out be cut by the NFL teams for whatever reason, they are annoying, a distraction, or it would just flat out be funny for us fans.

Lately, this is the best place
for Barber to be, the bench.

10. Marion Barber III RB Cowboys - No other running back in the league 'overruns' more than this guy, and rarely has much positive to show for it afterward, yet he still pops up after every 2 foot run bouncing around like a fool and pounding his chest like he did something good.  He jumps up like that EVERY SINGLE TIME.  Then to add to that, he finds ways to get hurt on open breakaway runs like against the Giants, and annoys fantasy owners nationwide because he gets carries, taking away from the far more talented Felix Jones, and for whatever reason, making the Cowboy coaching staff believe that he is somehow good, and should get carries, relegating the best back on the team, Tashard Choice to Wildcat and bench duty.

Time to go Marion, hear there may be a spot for you in Denver, they don't have enough under performing backs just yet.

He is finding new ways
to butcher the offense.

9. Jason Garrett OC Cowboys - This has nothing to do with Cowboy hating, as there may be a 3rd one later on this list, but most Cowboy fans would have to agree with them all.  He has quite possibly the most talented offensive bunch in all of football (Yes Saints fans, more talented then you all), yet consistently finds new ways to do very little with it.  After finding a needle in a haystack with Miles Austin last year, and kick starting their offense after Roy Williams forgot everything he once knew, they closed out the regular season with a dominating win over the Eagles, followed by a repeat a week later to start the playoffs.  Then came to stellar output of 3, which is exactly how many points they managed to score against the Vikings in a 34-3 drubbing.  THREE!!!

If that didn't seem bad enough to end the season, if this year's preseason is any indicator (which we know you can't take a lot from preseason, but still), it's going to be a very long season for the uber talented Cowboy offense. In 4 games, their first team offense has put together 1 TD, and were outscored 20-0 by the Texans first team offense a week ago. The line looks to have no interest in blocking, and Garrett's play calling still appears to be very bland and uninspiring.

Jet fans may not be seeing
this anytime soon again

8. Darrelle Revis CB Jets and Vincent Jackson WR Chargers - These two 'stud' players must be grouped together because they are both on this list for the same annoying reason. They both had extremely good 2009 seasons, breakout seasons for each, and now, heading into the 2010 season, both are still currently holding out wanting more money, AFTER ONE GOOD SEASON! Both have said many times they are willing to sit out the entire season if they need to, and show no signs of changing that stance. Yeah, forget your teams, it's all about you. Both are on teams who would arguably be on a collision course for the AFC Title game, yet both are being so damn selfish and demanding so much money that they are willing to not help.

Again, AFTER ONE GOOD SEASON!!! 

While we're at it, let's just add Jackson's teammate Marcus McNeill to the list, although he has done it over a longer period of time.

Who else can this man punch?

7.  LeGarrette Blount RB Titans - Strictly making this list not because of his talent, or as a player, but strictly because we all just want to see if he would punch someone in the front office after he is informed he is cut.

He clearly has talent to be a good running back in the NFL, but when he has already punched someone with the Titans, and he has never even played a down in the NFL regular season, he may never get an opportunity to show any of that talent.  The man who will be remembered for punching the Boise State player and then QUICKLY back peddling, is now doing his best to be remembered the same way as a pro, even if in a short stint as one.

6. ANY Patriots running back (Or two) - Laurence Maroney, Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, Benjarvis Green-Ellis, it really doesn't matter, just cut one, maybe even two of them, it's so damn confusing up there in Patriot land.  Even Tom Brady is probably thoroughly confused at who he may be turning it around handing it to.

Taylor seems like he's been around forever, still clearly has talent, but only if healthy.  Maroney is a career underachiever, and has had numerous problems staying healthy, combined with his stints in Bellichik's doghouse.  Who knows about Sammy Morris, who always seems to produce the most, yet suddenly loses carries.  Faulk catches a ton of balls, can run, so what's the answer, give him fewer touches. 

From a fantasy football perspective, it's a severe headache to deal with it each week and season. 

CUT ONE ALREADY!!!

Think the Redskins regret this moment?

5.  Albert Haynesworth DT Redskins - The man who may always best be remembered because of his stomp to the head of Andre Gurode while with the Titans, and is now the $100 million mistake in Washington.  Signed prior to last season, stayed relatively quiet in 2009, but with the hiring of Mike Shanahan and head coach, and a change in the defensive philosophy, he immediately began throwing a fit, saying he wouldn't play, or wanted to be traded, whatever his whining was in the current week.  Then when he decided he would participate and play, he failed multiple conditioning tests before finally figuring out how to pass one.  Even Mike Golic demonstrated on ESPN how to pass the test, and he hasn't played IN YEARS.

Even Reggie couldn't get this right.

4. Reggie Bush RB Saints and Darren McFadden RB Raiders - 2 highly touted running backs coming out of college who seemingly can do anything. They can make dynamic plays, have incredible breakaway speed, and can catch and tun a short play into something huge. McFadden could even throw when called upon. Both were highly drafted, Bush 2nd to the Saints after the Texans shocked everyone by drafting Mario Williams #1 overall. McFadden 5th to the Raiders to accommodate JaMarcus Russell (How's that going now?) Neither has done much in the NFL except for try and make plays and consistently be stuff. Oh, and spend time injured, they both have mastered that skill.

The last time Roy Williams
showed any sign of being good

3. Roy E. Williams WR Cowboys - For obvious reasons, he needs to just flat out be cut, and move on.  The Cowboys appear to be worried about the money that would be wasted after they signed him to a huge deal prior to the 2009 season, and cut T.O. in the process.  All he's done since signing is drop balls, and more balls, and be completely overshadowed by breakout star Miles Austin.  He has continued to tell everyone how he's a star and the #1 on the team, yet nobody else associated with the Cowboys knows that information.

It's ok Dallas, the Bengals showed how you can cut someone who you owe a lot to with Antonio Bryant (Who would have made this list).  At least the Cowboys got some time from Williams, so there's a plus in there somewhere.

Leinart can't get past these days and
realize a team was handed to him.

2. Matt Leinart QB Cardinals - He may very well be traded in the coming days, or cut, with the longest shot of actually somehow remaining as an Arizona Cardinal come final cut downs.  He had the job handed to him after the retirement of future hall of famer Kurt Warner, and has done nothing to show he deserves it.  He appears to be in the process of losing it to one season standout Derek Anderson, a man who has done little positive since 2007. 

Leinart has done very well at protecting the ball and completing passes in the preseason thus far, but when you have Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, Early Doucet at your disposal with Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower in the backfield, you need to make plays.  At the rate he's going, he may complete 75% of his passes as a starter and average about 142 yards per game.  That's not going to cut it in Arizona after the standard Warner set.

Hopefully, some team will give something in return for him.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?

1. Troy Polomalu S Steelers - This has nothing to do with him as a player.  He is quite possibly the very best safety in all of the NFL.  With him, the Steelers are an extremely dangerous defense.  Without him, you get what you got last season while he was injured.

He is here because anybody who insures their hair for $1,000,000 deserves to be cut.  Nothing else needs to really be said.  It's your hair, it looks absolutely goofy, it's doesn't need to be insured.  Time for someone to go Larry Johnson on him and tackle him by it.
