Don't see 7 WRs.

Not sure Freeny did enough to make the roster either but then not sure Jelani Jenkins did much either and he's off.
 
Pretty spot on if you ask me. Only difference I could see is that he has them keeping Marcus Thigpen, I am not sure he stays. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Thigpen is traded for a late round pick later today or tomorrow morning. Also don't agree with cutting Jenkins.
 
Wow he's cutting Jenkins and keeping freeny...they can get by with only 4 corners cause they got safeties on that list that can shift inside...I see no real issues with that other than I wonder if fox will make it
 
He's got Thigpen on there cause he's listed as a WR but he's strictly special teams return man.
 
I would keep thiggy...there's nothing interesting as a returner in house otherwise...plus the versatility he has in a pinch
 
Thigpen should be history...
Keeping Fox??? Really?? Hope not...we aren't keeping 11 OL's either...
No need to keep Freeney...
Has Jones done anything to be kept over Kovacs?
 
The Rams GM had a good point last night, after you fill out the roster up to 47 or 48 players for the last 5 or 6 you shouldn't worry about the numbers and just try to keep the best football players.

This was my biggest worry from the Pouncey injury, you'd likely have to replace his one roster spot with two players and maybe keep a spot for him.
 
Pretty solid. The only difference I see is possibly Thomas at RB and Thigpen is cut.
 
I think the surprise cut if not at 53 but to add someone else off another teams cut very well may be Dallas Thomas...I'd avoid eye contact with the Turk tomorrow morn if I was him
 
Thigpen, Freeny, Don Jones may be lucky and make it. Kovacs vs Jones vs Thomas is probably close. Don't be surprised if Kovacs makes it with the Michigan connection and top character/leadership qualities.
Freeny vs Jelani Jenkins is also probably close. Freeny is good on Special Teams but Jenkins has bigger upside and is really smart.
Thigpen looked uncharacteristically awful at times last night. He's normally safe but maybe they give the KR/PR duties elsewhere and give the last spot to the best young guy who they don't want to risk on the Practice Squad, eg Garrison Smith (deserves to make it and probably would any other year), Matt Hazel.
Also interesting to note that Philbin has specifically mentioned Kyle Miller favorably, several times in his recent press conferences. Don't be surprised if Miller is one of his guys who he genuinely likes.
Dallas Thomas and Fox shouldn't feel too comfortable either. The moment that someone better is identified from another team, they should be replaced.
