Yup. And Bush is a real solid player. I can't imagine him getting dumped for a camp cut.

CB6 is about the only spot I see that isn't pretty firm. Even WR6 seems like it's about 80% likely to be Fountain.

Jaylen Watson as the last DB on the roster seems like about the only real risk of getting turfed for a veteran cast-off. And you may have more success getting him onto the PS after cut-downs since other teams will have set their own PS and final rosters.

Or again, RB4 could be up for grabs at this point as well should the Chiefs decide they want to take 4 into the regular season. But they may just decide that Burton can be their power back.

Gotta figure Lammons will be back. I really do hate that, though. Dude played 13 snaps on defense last year. These STs only guys just irritate the hell out of me.

You telling me you can't find a gunner that can actually PLAY?

Sure looks like 4 guys are locked in with Sneed, Fenton, McDuffie and some dude from a pisswater college in the Carolinas somewhere. Then Lammons gets his "Dave Toub Memorial Scrub Roster Spot". But like you, I don't trust Watson as a guy who will probably need to actually see the field next year and right now I think he's your 6th guy in.

They had Jaylen Watson speak to the media today. I may be reading too much into it but they don't usually let guys they plan to cut speak. I doubt it means that he can't be a cut but they must have some interest in keeping him to put him in front of everyone.

Depends on service time.

4 accrued seasons = released. Less than 4 accrued seasons = waived.

So if it's someone on their rookie deal that gets cut, that guy has to pass through waivers. If it's someone on a vet deal, that guy is a free agent.

As to the OP question - hard to say. Obviously my desire is at DE but I don't see anyone getting cut that's better than, say, Sheldon Richardson, JPP, Benson Mayowa or Tre Flowers. And those guys are all FAs still and we haven't brought them in. Just seems unlikely that DL help is on the way.

So the other option you mentioned already is RT. But Reid prefers continuity on his OL over all else. I just don't see any way he brings in a street FA guy to replace Wylie. And I don't think Christian has done anything to cost himself a roster spot in that role.

I'd be surprised if there are any additions to the 53 at this point. Maybe a RB after they cut Jones? Someone with a little more bulk who can run hard between the tackles? Jordan Wilkins would seem like a possibility and a similar but better version of Darrell Williams.

Maybe a CB? I'd be surprised if anybody worth a crap is cut loose, but the CB room sure looks like suddenly we'll have a 7th round pick on the roster. That's...different. WR? These guys never have seemed to be able to quit Sammy Watkins.

An aging swing tackle might be better than anything we currently have.

That’s my biggest concern.

I would love to flip a pick to the Bears for Jenkins and Quinn and just sit Jenkins.

Yeah I think you’re right here. We could use a serviceable swing tackle for sure. We’re thin AF there.

At least one of those will be cut and maybe signed back to the PS. Our RB room is runneth over. We will not be trying to sign one from another team.

So yeah - you're reading too much into it.

Though if the games started tomorrow I agree - Watson appears to be on the roster. But that doesn't mean he can't be upgraded.

It's not runneth over with good options though. Unless RoJo had COVID or something that made him look terrible he's not going to make it if he doesn't turn it around. Gore couldn't catch shit and managed to fumble. They need to give Ealy a shot but even he hasn't had an impact of any significance that we've seen.

RT/SwingT and DL would be worth a look. Not sure what pops up if anything but I’d look at those positions. Maybe a WR or CB could be better than the competition for the last spot we have now, but probably not.
