NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
Defensive end Frostee Rucker
The Cardinals have done a good job keeping the number of veterans who may get cut to a minimum by emphasizing their personnel development on young players. If there was one player who's on the bubble, however, it could be Rucker. The 32-year-old had offseason surgery to repair an ankle injury, and with the young depth the Cardinals have built on the defensive line, he may be among the expendable options. -- Josh Weinfuss
Los Angeles Rams
Running back Tre Mason
Mason found himself in the doghouse last season, when he missed the bus for a road trip to Baltimore. He didn't help his cause by producing just 2.8 yards per carry and struggling to protect the ball when he played. And he really compounded matters during the offseason, when he was arrested and charged with suspicion of possession of marijuana, reckless driving, failure to register a motor vehicle and resisting arrest. The Rams have some intriguing young backs behind Todd Gurley and Benny Cunningham, which means if Mason doesn't get it together, he could be on the way out. -- Nick Wagoner
San Francisco 49ers
Linebacker Ahmad Brooks
Brooks has seemingly been on the bubble with the Niners for what seems like an eternity. From legal woes to a decline in on-field production to younger players pushing for his spot, Brooks has outlasted them all. But now, working his way back into shape again and not practicing during organized team activities, Brooks is officially on notice -- again -- with Eli Harold getting his reps. -- Paul Gutierrez
Seattle Seahawks
Running back Christine Michael
Michael averaged 4.37 yards per carry on 60 attempts in four games (postseason included) after returning to the Seahawks last year. The team traded him before the start of the season, but brought back Michael after Thomas Rawls went down late in the season. This offseason, the Seahawks re-signed Michael to a one-year deal that contains no guaranteed money. Considering they used three draft picks on running backs, Michael will have to compete for a roster spot this summer. -- Sheil Kapadia
