Do they have to be from the taxi squad?

If it's open to everyone, and if you only have to start 1QB, I'm cutting Bortles. He may start because the jags have no better options but by next year at the latest he will go the way of Gabbert at best. He has almost no future value. I'd trade or cut him. There's no need to have 4 mediocre QBs in a 1 QB league. Unless you anticipate a shift to superflex?

Ivory. Bortles is a close 2nd

I agree for the most part. The only reason I have so many Qbs is because the position has been such a pain the last 2 years. Bortles was actually my most productive QB for 2016. Not saying much but I'm not sure if he should go...

Geeze never thought I would defend Bort Bort.

edit. All roster spots are available to be cut, except Enunwa since I have no one else to slot into IR.

You have until Monday. See if you can work out a trade for Bortles. Return a draft pick if possible.

While you are at it, see if you can catch the Fournette owner needing to back up his investment and trade Ivory.

If no trades, I would cut Ivory. Older, and appears to be running out of chances in the league This is different than McNichols who is only 21 and only appears to be running out of chances in Tampa Bay. Jags cut DuJuan Harris, so we can assume that means Fournette and Yeldon are getting better and Ivory will at best see a bench for the year.

Tried trading Ivory to Fournette owner. I'll try moving Bort.

[Spongehack]

I'd cut McNichols or Ivory. McNichols has looked terrible thus far and just doesn't seem like he will get it together. Ivory is old...

So your TS squad players count toward your total roster? What is the advantage then of using a TS? Why not just increase roster sizes?

Don't drop Bortles. He's not a good NFL QB but that doesn't mean he will hurt you in fantasy. As you pointed out, he was your best QB last season. When you have other good options to cut (Ivory, James White, Travis Benjamin to name a few) there is no reason to drop Bortles.

No the taxi doesn't count against the final number but I can cut a player on the taxi and move Kizer onto the taxi if I need to.

Sent out a few offers of Bortles for a 3rd to the teams that looked the worst at QB. If nothing comes of that I'm leaning Ivory or McNicoles. Probably Ivory due to age.

edit. the guy rolling with Hoyer and Goff just rejected my trade and said not interested. Not a good start. lol

[Goddard]

Drop Ivory. He's got no trade value and won't really help your team much, if at all

[Pet_Smith]

Eli or Bortles. No reason to carry 4 qbs when only starting one

[roughrider1]

If it's open to everyone, and if you only have to start 1QB, I'm cutting Bortles.

If you're considering cutting taxi guys, I would strongly recommend cutting Dupre. JAG.
