QB: Cam, Allen, Grier
RB: CMC, Scarlett, Holyfield
FB: Armah
WR: Moore, Samuel, Wright, Hogan, Smith, Godwin
TE: Olsen, Thomas, Manhertz
T: Moton, Williams, Little, Daley
G: Turner, Van Roten, Hearn
C: Paradis, Larsen

DT: Poe, Love
DL3T: Short, McCoy
DL5T: Cox, Obada
EDGE: Addison, Irvin, Burns, Haynes, Miller
LB: Luke, Shaq, Carter, Smith, Norris
CB: Bradberry, Jackson, Cockrell, Elliot, Elder
S: Reid, Boston, Blanding, Jones

ST: Slye, Palardy, Jansen

Practice Squad:
RB: Bonnafon
WR: Leverone, White
TE: Hemmingway
OL: Catalina, Cook
LB: Kunaszyk
CB: Thornton, Doss
S: Luke

I like Heinicke a lot, but for whatever reason we've shown a tendency to lean Allen the whole time.

Holyfield cuts better, has stronger legs, and can catch just as good if not better than Bonnafon. He's more likely to be poached off the PS than Bonnafon. CAP is gone.

We'll carry 6 WRs if Torrey isn't cut, and I highly doubt that happens.

Hearn takes the last OL spot with Greene being a question mark as far as injury goes. We could look to other teams' cuts on OL depth though.

Vernon is gone. Good riddance.

Gaulden is likely gone, in favor of Colin Freakin' Jones. SMDH. I like what I've seen out of Blanding, and I think he makes it, pending his injury status. If he can't go, that spot will go to Gaulden, Luke, or Doss.

Norris pushes out Williams and Kunaszyk for the final LB spot. I don't know if I like this or not, yet.

Gano is gone, one way or another.

Im with you on this 53 projection and love the PS too.  I do think Bonnafon makes 53 instead of Holyfield but maybe Bonnafon would be a better choice to PS than Holyfield because of being claimed.

This. Bonnafon to the PS means we keep both. Let's be honest, neither will be dressing on game day, so the more important thing is having both there to practice with the team, and see who's a better fit for the roster next year.

This. Nobody is going to be chomping at the bit to claim Bonnafon. Holyfield, however, has shown brief glimpses into bigger and better things. Holyfield also carries a little more star power from his dad, so that would likely be another plus for him.

I'm not knocking Bonnafon at all, because I like what I've seen and what I've read about him. But my gut, however wrong it may be, is telling me that someone (or maybe even more than one) already has their eyes on Holyfield.

I mean, thankfully Scarlett has made this not really a big concern, so that's good. None of our backup RBs are even likely to see much time (knock on wood.)

But hypothetically I'd rather keep the guy I see more value in right now, and that is Holyfield.

I'll believe you and Igo. I just hope Holyfield doesn't get poached.

I think they like how versatile Bonnafon is and that, if needed, he can be the closest thing to CMC. Seems they value that more than potentially losing Holyfield. 

I’m not convinced Holyfield did enough for someone to snatch him up for a 53, but I’m probably wrong

Wow so we might be carrying only 4 CBs to help with the hybrid front. Thought that may be an option. I guess Cox or Antwione Williams could take the spot. If things keep changing this afternoon I may just stop till its over lol.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
