As interested as I am in learning if we have any waiver requests in, I am interested to know who the team will sacrifice from the current 53-man roster.  We already know we are signing a K.

Everyone wants to mention Michael Jordan, but with 9 OL, you might want to look somewhere else. 

I would go with the following to be cut/sent to PS:

Stephen Sullivan, TE  (With Ian and Tremble with Ricci as 3rd TE/FB, a 4th TE is overkill.)

Nixon or Hoskins, DT.  (I am confident the 380-lb McCall turned enough heads to keep a NT position, so I think they will have to attempt to move a DT to the PS.)

Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, CB.  (Not sure how many you need, and STO3 is good on special teams, but with Hartsfield as a hybrid, that would leave us with 5 CBs.

NOTE: Nearly 10% (5) of the 53-man roster is from Temple.

I think they will IR Sam for a few weeks freeing up the spot for a kicker, then drop PJ and bring him to the practice squad once Sam is healthy.

I do too.  Just think we have to have a claim or two on the waiver wire, and at #6, we could get one. 

I think Sullivan is the first to go if that happens.

I could see Sean Chandler at safety being cut, he's a liability in coverage and is behind Chinn, Woods, Burris, Hartsfield, and also Franklin who has sub package LB'er ability. 

Rolling with just two TE's and an H-Back is not something I see them doing, Sullivan offers more than a depth safety at best in Chandler. 

Just my .02

Not us but do some guys not have to go through the waiver wire? Or do they already know they're not getting claimed?

 

The difference is being waived versus being released. A four year veteran can be released and can be a free agent available to sign anywhere immediately. Newer players must go through the waiver wire.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
