8 WRs? No way we keep 8. 7 at the most and that may not even happen.

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

No way we keep only 8 DBs. We'll keep 6 CBs alone and more than likely 4 Safeties.

I did the list with very little thought in hopes that I could get feedback or better lists. Knowing where the remaining spot battles are makes the last preseason game way more enjoyable. I wanted to keep only 7 wide receivers but with fuller being suspended for the first game I thought it would be an opportunity to sneak Merrit onto the practice squad in week two. I do have 9 db's.

 

[dolfan91]

2-QB's
4-RB
6-WR
4-TE's
8-OL
7-DL
7-LB
10-DB's

 

[AdamD13]

2-QB's
4-RB
6-WR
4-TE's
8-OL
7-DL
7-LB
10-DB's

That’s only 48 + 3 ST leaves 2 spots available.

I know. I figure Cathan Carter gets a spot as a FB and maybe 9 OL or an 8th DL/LB.

 

[Tiko377]

We will not keep Merrit over Bowden.

 

[jjjjphin]

I think Bowden may go on PUP. But if healthy I agree.

 

[Tiko377]

I don't see Greg Little either on your 53 roster and I am not sure about Griffin making the team good feel good story good character but hasn't really shown up the last 2 weeks

Now that you say that I agree I have not heard about Griffen. We did trade for Little. I am just not very high on him.

 

[SCOTTY]

We ran a ton of 2 TE sets last night. We only rostered 3 TEs last year. I think its possible we go 4 and that might give flexibility to carry only 8 OL instead of last year's 9

8 WRs? No way we keep 8. 7 at the most and that may not even happen.

I would keep 10 WRS if I could. Each of the predicted starters have had big injuries recently. We can't even get out of TC being able to get them all on the field at the same time. Somehow they are all going to stay healthy during the longest season ever? As many WRs as we can get on there is how we should go. Sure, injuries happen to other positions but we already know we have little to no running game coming once it's real, so we might want to protect our only offensive weapons.

 

[SCOTTY]

I think we learned our lesson with Weaver when it comes to trying to keep certain players on roster and trying to get others on PS. And this will be applied to Coleman. He makes my 53.

 

[SCOTTY]

Williams and Roberts coming off PUP and giving up our two exemptions pretty much cements thier roster position in my mind. If not we would have simply left them on PUP, move them to IR during 53 cut (never impacting the 53) and bring them up after 3 weeks whenever we needed them. That would have saved 2 roster spots. So why give up 2 spots unless we plan on them on the 53 and playing right away.
