There is always roster turnover. We may see some surprising cuts or even bittom of the roster trades. Who knows, maybe we trade a guy like Davis Allen...maybe send our 4th TE back to Miami as a part of a trade for Ramsey?? Stuff like that can and will happen.Let's see what spots are even open (roster locks):
QB (2)
RB (3) - Rivers likely the 4th
WR (5) - battle for 6th spot between X. Smith and UDFAs - though Smith likely wins and is the returner
TE (4)
OL (7) - calling both Shelton and McClendon locks here - battle for two spots between Leveston, Arcuri, Dedich and McMahon
DL (6) - Turner, Fiske, Ford, Hamilton, Johnson, Davis - Murchison fighting for us to keep a 7th
Edge (5) - Verse, Young, Stewart, Jackson, Hampton - Thomas fighting for us to keep a 6th
ILB (3) - Landman, Speights, Paul - Reeder fighting for us to keep a 4th
CB (5) - trade might bump one of the bottom guys, but no room for a UDFA here unless they blow the staff away
S (4) - Lake, Curl, Kinchens, McColough
ST (3)
After the draft, that is roughly 47 locks and then Rivers, X. Smith, Murchison, Keir Thomas, Reeder and four OL who have been with us for years fighting for three spots.
That is 9 players who have been with our organization in some capacity fighting for the last six roster spots alongside the UDFA class.
I wouldn't get attached to any of these guys - going to take a lot to make this team this year
Like you said some young vets like Reeder, Hampton, Thomas, Kendrick, Murchison, Rivers, Allen, several OL, etc... will be fighting for a spot. We already lost several contributors in FA, so there will be spots available. Maybe not like last year, but I bet a couple UDFAs make the roster and several will be on the PS.
