Four slots

[Mr. Scot]

Looking over the roster/depth chart as it stands now, and keeping in mind much of what I've rad over the past few weeks, I picked out four slots I could reasonably see being filled by someone who is not currently on roster.

Fifth Wide Receiver (assuming the team keeps five, which I think they will)

Starting Left Defensive Tackle (the most obvious choice)

Backup Left Defensive Tackle (possible no one sticks here but Lewis and Irvin)

Long Snapper (possibly the least likely, but I do think Jansen could be booted for a good enough replacement)

There's almost always a certain amount of turnover beyond just the basic cuts, and generally the team ends up with at least one or two guys that were in someone else's camp at the beginning of the offseason.

This is where I can picture those moves shaking out.

Agree, or have alternate suggestions?

[vorbis]

i take it this is assuming that no one with a significant salary is cut to free up cap to make a move for one of those spots you listed?

[Al Morgan]

I think that the FO is ok with what we have as backup DT. Maybe they'll look at some help in the secondary

Fifth Wide Receiver (assuming the team keeps five, which I think they will)

I don't see this happening. Goodson can play as a wide receiver, as can Rosario. Given the numbers crunches at the skill position spots on offense, I can't see them keeping a 5th WR.

[Cyberjag]

In the past we carried a fifth wide receiver for special teams and as a developmental prospect. I seriously doubt we do this year, we will fill the ST need from the DBs and we don't have anyone we want to develop enough to hold a roster spot for.

[Hairless Cat]

I dont think theres any chance that jansen is going anywhere unless he has a number of very ugly snaps. i think theres too much " chemistry" developed between him and his team mates at this point to change that particular position.

[Carolina Crazy V2]

I think at WR, they'll keep Smith, Moose, Moore, Jarrett, Beavers.

[MadHatter]

I don't think Beavers will sniff the 53 man roster.

And, Jarrett is getting awfully close to ending up like most other USC receivers.....unemployed.

this.

Don't be so hard on the Beaver.

[d-run]

I think Beaver is gone too. As far as DT goes, I think someone will get brought in, but I will be shocked if Hayden doesn't make the team. He has been playing way too much during the preseason. I guess you never know though. I personally like Favorite better, but if we bring someone else in do you guys see us keeping 5 DTs?

[rayzor]

WR....i see us going with 5. like cyberjag said, the 5th receiver was primarily there in the past for special teams. we have goodson, munnerlynn, and moore that are going to be handling the returns. all three of those pretty much have a roster spot assured at this point. no need for a 5th, especially when the TE is apparently going to be used more and goodson will for the most part be seen as a receiver when the other two backs are healthy.

i'd rather see that roster spot be used for something that is giving us more problems.

i think you are right about DT and the backup DT. i think hayden and favorite could stick around, more likely hayden. lewis and irvin are the only two i really see staying, though. we'll most likely get someone else in.

long snapper i think we are set with barring any really botched games.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Has Goodson lined up at receiver this preseason?

[KARASMATIC444]

i dont see us keeping 5 DT i think we bring in someone and we atleast get rid of favorite all though i like his size better than hayden. I would not be hurt to see them both go and bring 2 better big guys. I think lewis and irvin can handle the 1 gap spot with brayton as a fill in as well and we need 2 big 2 gap guys, preferably 1 we trade for and one we get off of cuts if they are better than favorite.
