Parker, Williams, Wilson, Hurns, Ford, Grant, Bowden, Perry, Hollins, and Merritt.

DP- Stays. Year 3 of 4.
PW-Stays. Final rookie contract year
Wilson- Gone. He restructured last year, but 3 million a year will be better elsewhere.
Hurns - Gone. 1 year left ~3 million a year. Could be traded or cut.
Ford - Gone. He was set to be a FA.
Grant- Stays. He could be part of a trade on draft day, but I think he'll stay as returner. Maybe.
Bowden and Perry are safer than Hollins and Merritt to me. But 2 will probably be waived.

That leaves 5ish spots for FA's and rookies. Our WR group could be very talented this year.

Thoughts?

Agree with everything except Wilson. Dude is explosive when healthy. Grant is a great PR, but his hands make Ted Ginn look like Larry Fitzgerald.

I think we'll carry 6 WRs this year

DVP: Remains. Opens the season at #1 WR, pushed by both Williams and the rookie flanker
PW: Remains as the #2 Flanker and if healthy, will surpass both DVP and the rookie by mid-season.
Wilson: Comes to camp with a chance to be opening day Slot Receiver. Sticks with a good camp. Chances are reduced if we draft Waddle.
Hurns: Fighting for 4th Flanker position... a spot only open if the rookie slot receiver can beat out Grant for return duties.
Grant: Fighting off rookie receiver for a position on team. If Waddle (or another punt returning rookie is drafted to be the eventual slot, he'd be smart to ask for his release).
Bowden: Third slot on a team that should only carry two. He'd be a tough cut, but Wilson has a chance to take his job.
Perry: Practice squad unless there is an injury.
Merritt: waived.

Rookie Flanker: Should land as third Flanker for opener, has chance to bypass both DVP and PW if he is stellar.
Rookie Slot: Fighting for game time with Wilson and Bowden. If he can return Punts, he has a leg up on making team.

PW-Stays.
Wilson- Maybe.
Hurns - Gone.
Ford - Gone. He was set to be a FA.
Grant- Maybe.
Bowden- Stays.

If they go after a big FA or just decide they need cap space for other spots then Wilson and Grant will be on the bubble.

They'll draft at least two. My guess is they'll take Smith to be their #1 and add a slot guy like Eskridge, Atwell, Rodgers or Darden.
 
I'd rather keep Parker, PW, Ford, Bowden, Perry and Hollins. The others we can cut or trade

I get this feeling we're going to trade Parker to a team like the Falcons.

I don't think he goes anywhere this year. However, if he does it would be a post June 1. If they do anything with him before June 1 he counts $8m against the cap and saves them $4m. If they do anything with him after June 1 then he's $2.7m against the cap and a $9.4m savings.

Parker - Stays
Wilson - Stays
Bowden - Stays
Williams - Bubble
Grant - Bubble
Ford - Gone
Hurns - Gone
Perry - PS
Merrit - Gone
 
Total of 7 WRs....

Parker - Stays
Wilson - Stays
Bowden - Stays
Williams - Stays
Grant - Released
Ford - Gone
Hurns - Stays
Perry - PS
Merrit - Gone
Rookie 1 - 1st or 2nd round pick
Rookie 2 - 4th or 5th round pick

Prediction? That means what I think Flo and staff WILL do - NOT what I want to happen

Stay - DVP, Williams, Wilson, Grant, Bowden. Bowden and Grant are dependent on FA/rookies.
PS - Perry and rookie
New faces - rookie and, maybe, FA
Not a Grant fan, but, apparently, Flo is. He's still susceptible to a fast guy with good hands, Bowden has the flexibility Flo likes, but hasn't shown starter talent yet. All 'non-starters' are susceptible to better talent
 
Pending FA acquisitions and draftees will make for a very competitive camp. Hopefully, this group takes a big step forward this year.

This is not a prediction... Its the home run.

Parker-Smith-Samuel-Waddle
Bowden-Wilson

With that lineup of receivers, Tua could close his eyes and complete 60%.
 
Parker, Williams and Bowden are the only locks to stay. Grant stays if he agrees to a pay cut
