Okay here's another version with a different perspective.
QB’s -3
I haven’t been able to confirm that the NFL passed the proposed rule about the 3rd (emergency) QB could be on the PS. So, I’ll assume 3.
Tua, White & Thompson.
White has 1.2m in dead money but does save 3.5m, so it would be doable if Thompson was thought to be the #2.
Thompson is only 20K in dead cap if he can be placed on the PS.
Running back - 4
The restructure of Wilson looks like it might him make him a weekly inactive unless there is an injury. Ahmed can be cut without cost, but it only costs 90K to attempt to put Brooks on the PS.
Mostert, Achane, Wright & Wilson
Fullback – 1
Ingold isn’t going anywhere.
Tight End – 3
Symthe & Smith are locks.
Hill & Fortson are both financially cuttable, so Grier may try and sneak one on the PS. No idea about the UDFA. I think Conner is gone.
WR - 5
Hill, Waddle, EZ, Malik, BB all make it, Tahj could do, but I’m sure we could hide River on the PS as there is no dead money.
OT - 4
Armstead, Jackson & Paul are locks, Lamm & Smith are probably fighting out. But the finances are in favour of Lamm. Smith can be cut without cost, so Smith & Hayes both on the PS but we might lose one again.
OG - 4
Wynn, Eich & Driscoll are in, though Eich is the in-game OC backup even if he is the starting RG.
Jones.R & Jones (the UDFA), Hines & Cotton are in a battle for the other spot. And Jones.R is financially the favorite here and probably on proven ability as well.
OC -1
Brewer isn’t financially cuttable and the UFDA would have to really impress to consider anything other than the PS. It could be two is we sign someone like Dan Feeney again, but they would need to have C/G flexibility to replace the 4th OG spot.
Total offense: 25
Specialists- 3
Saunders would only incur 731k in dead money but does save 3.7m but who are we bringing in?
Ferguson is selling his shirt to stay on the team & Bailey (even though I didn’t think he should be brought back) was handed a suitcase for 1.6m this year (no savings at all).
DL – 6 (initially), 5 later
Seiler, Tart, Jones (another suitcase of money), Gallimore (yet another suitcase), Harris & Hand.
Hand looks like the most likely cut when Chubb comes back but we may have 4-6 weeks of tape by then. Pili, Mack & Nixon are here for camp.
Edge - 4 (initially), 5 later
Phillips, Chop, Mo & Barret with Chubb returning off PUP.
Two of Murphy, Bell, Goode, Vandenburgh find their way onto the PS.
LB – 5
Brooks, Long, Duke & Walker. With one of Brown or Tindall on the PS.
DB – 10
I do think Ramsay could be all over the field this year, so some weeks as a lockdown corner, playing the slot and others as a safety. i.e. Weapon.
Outside Corners – Ramsey, Fuller, Smith, Bonner (though it could be Duck but in limited action Bonner had, he looked better than Eli Apple!)
Slot – Ramsey, Kodou, Needham
Safety – Holland, Ramsey, Poyer, one of McMorris, Perry or Campbell. I think Needham can be x-trained as the fourth safety too.
S.T specialist – Neal
Defence – 25
Of course, this all changes when we sign Van Roten to play RG, Diggs to play safety & OBJ as #3 WR post June 1st.
