He isn't getting cut this year.
No, next year
He isn't getting cut this year.
My current roster. Based only on guys in camp.
QB (2) - Mayfield, Stanton
RB (4) - Chubb, Hilliard, Gray
TE (3) - NJoku, Harris, Brown
WR (6) - OBJ, Juice, Hollywood, Strong, Willies, Montgomery
OL (9) - GRob, Bitonio, Trett, Kush, Hubbard, Forbes, Corbett, Kalis, Lamm
DE (5) - Garrett, Vernon, Avery, Zettel, Thomas
DT (5) - Ogunjobi, Richardson, Coley, Ekuale, Lawrence
LB (5) - Schobert, Kirksey, Takitaki, Wilson, Taylor
CB (6) - Ward, Mitchell, Carries, Greedy, Gaines, Thomas
S (5) - Randall, Burnett, Murray, Redwine, Whitehead
Sp - Hughlett, Colquitt, Joseph
- I don't think anyone is going to add Gilbert to their 53 man. They can afford to cut him and maybe add him later in case of injury. Blough will be practice squad.
- I have Gray over Dernest because as of right now, Chubb is their only "big" back and they have no one to line up at FB in goaline. Gray theoretically can do both. It might be more likely that they bring in an Hback to block over Pharoah Brown, and keep Dernest as the 3rd RB. Or maybe they bring an HBack and a different 3rd RB. I am confident in Chubb, Hilliard, Njoku and Harris. After those 4, we'll keep at least 2 more, but no idea if they're on the roster.
- Ish Hyman is the biggest lock for the PS, IMO, unless another team thinks he's 53 man worthy. I also think when Callaway gets back, Strong is most likely to go.
- I'd like another OT, but don't think Seaton makes the team. 3 of the 4 backup OL are either guards or centers. Bringing in an emergency tackle wouldn't surprise me. Think Finneanganofo makes the PS.
- 10 DL is a lot. If they keep 9, Chad Thomas and Lawrence might be fighting for the last roster spot, and it opens up a spot elsewhere.
- I really think Tavierre Thomas bring a lot on special teams, so I think he makes the team.
- I picked Joseph because...why not? No idea who actually wins the job.
Positions most likely to add someone not currently on roster: RB/FB/HB/TE combo or OT. Maybe DT if someone unexpected shakes loose.
Especially for a generally low impact position like punter... I.E., most punters have around the same capability. So if you have a punter that can do more than just punt, well, you should stick with that guy.I think I'd prefer to keep the Hammer over Colquitt simply because of cost, but I get the feeling they showcased him last night to give him a chance to catch on somewhere else.
I really like his tackling ability as a punter. It's not just a gimmick -- he's clearly good enough in the open field to limit the chance for someone to break a big one. Rugby guys in general are usually good at that open field stuff.
Love Gillan’s upside as a career punter in the NFL but my fear is that we’re too close to contention to take a chance on a project right now. Bear in mind that he’d also need to undertake holding duties.I think I'd prefer to keep the Hammer over Colquitt simply because of cost, but I get the feeling they showcased him last night to give him a chance to catch on somewhere else.
