I understand both side of the issue. To me they have been making these moves setting themselves up to potentially dump salaries in order to lock up Berry Poe and Houston long term and finalize smith's deal. In terms of Bray he has to show improvement. First in terms of his maturity. Didn't he get engaged or married recently? I think I read that was tweeted here somewhere. That's a good sign, potentially, that he is growing up. Football wise is the unknown. How much did he actually learn and improve himself from a football standpoint last year? He's got Reid, Pederson, Nagy, and Childress all there to tutor him. And how does he respond to Murry being picked? What you would hope to see is for Bray to step it up and compete. Take his craft and this opportunity seriously enough and just show some improvement. From listening to Dorsey in the end of the draft presser, Murry won't be hurried right away in the rookie mini camp when all the tryout guys come in. That's probably why they got that other QB coming in, just for an arm and try out. Sounds like He's at least going to be full go by TC. If he shows a good grasp of picking things up and can be a game manager close to if not better than Chase then Bray would have a chance to stick just with his high ceiling potential alone. He just has to take full advantage of that, take it seriously that he's also like Murry, in a great place, great staff to learn from and be developed. It's all up to Tyler and how he responds to competition. If he earns it and Murry is healthy enough and picks things up quick enough I don't think they hesitate to dump Chase's salary and put that cap space to good use. But if Bray just tries to coast along and think a spot for him is a given, he probably will get cut.

Same thing with Succop and his contract being a bit hefty for a kicker especially on this team with some home grown stars it wants to extend. It might not be this rookie FA from Tulane but he could be targeted to be replaced sooner than later. Flowers and Hali are safe this year, they need them for sure. But if they are out played I think they would be happy to replace Succop and Chase because of their bloated contracts.
