I know the normal thing is to say pre-season games are only about being healthy but are there any players that could win spots during these games?
 
With this team it matters to a lot of players. There's only a few players that have their starting spot locked. On top of that, most years you're looking for the bottom 3 or 4 guys but this year you could be looking at who gets the last 10 to 12 spots on the roster.
 
We've already seen undrafted rookies getting starting gigs. Who outside Howard, Tunsil and Sanders is feeling all that secure about their place on this team? Would anyone be shocked if a week from now some established vet like Jones or Alonso finds themselves unemployed?
 
Jones and Alonzo have contracts that protect them to some extent, they would need to be traded and there contract more than likely bought down just like what we did with Tannehill to be traded.

we have a dead cap hit of 37.6 mil
we have 22 mill in cap space which we can roll over to buy FA next year
more players you trade it's going to eat away that roll over cap space

How much do you want to pay them not to play for us - were already paying Suh more money not to play for us this year than Tampa is paying him to play for them - all thanks to Tannenbaum
 
Even next year we'll take a hit of 8mill on dead money if we cut Jones One of the worse contracts ever given out in the NFL.
 
Every single one. Career ending injury. Making a team. Changing career path. Young people with a life in front of them.
 
One guy who hasn’t gotten much buzz but has been playing great is Hendricks the DE. He had 2 or 3 sacks last game and is getting sacks just about every practice.
 
Josh Rosen. The RB's. The backup receivers. Nothing for pretty much anything else.
