Rogers: Preseason pays off for many Lions on cut day

Allen Park – With cuts finalized Saturday, here are some quick thoughts on the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster.

QUARTERBACKS:

In: Matthew Stafford, Jake Rudock

Out: Brad Kaaya

Thoughts: This was an easy decision. A third quarterback is one of the worst uses of a roster spot, unless you have a truly exceptional developmental talent you can’t risk putting on waivers. Kaaya might develop into a player capable of taking regular-season snaps some day, but he’s nowhere near ready now. He can grow and learn on the practice squad just as well as he could on the 53-man roster.
