39 Guaranteed Spots

[NJPanthers12]

Looking at the roster, there seems to be 39 roster spots thats are guaranteed. This would then mean that we need to fill 14 roster spaces.

Matt Moore

DeAngelo Williams-Jonathan Stewart-Tyrell Sutton-Mike Goodson

Tony Fiammetta

Steve Smith-Dwayne Jarrett-Wallace Wright

Jeff King-Dante Rosario-Gary Barnidge

Jordan Gross-Travelle Wharton-Ryan Kalil-Mackenzy Bernadeau-Jeff Otah-Geoff Schwartz-Duke Robinson

Charles Johnson-Everette Brown

Louis Leonard-Tank Tyler-Corey Irvin-Ed Johnson

Thomas Davis-Jon Beason-Dan Connor-James Anderson

Chris Gamble-Richard Marshall-Captain Munnerlyn-CJ Wilson

Chris Harris-Charles Godfrey-Sharrod Martin

John Kasay-Jason Baker-JJ Jansen

This team still have the talent to at least compete. I love the Wallace Wright signing and if we could bring back Teal and Wesley our special teams could actually be solid. I see us bringing in Brady Quinn to backup Matt Moore and at lest compete with him. John Fox loves Quinn and there both young with potential.

The only problems I have with this team are WR and DE. Both of these positions need to be addressed in free agency and the draft. WR always tend to fall in drafts so I think we can sit at where we are and not risk next years first and get a decent WR. Teaming up a Rookie, Jarrett, and Smith would give me confidence in that position. Like I have stated many times I am most concerned about the DE position. Everyone knows I was 100% for bringing Peppers back at any cost, but we should still bring Brayton back and try to get another steal like Johnson in the 3rd.

Finally did Witherspoon definitly get signed by the Titans, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I would love to bring him back and team him up with Beason and Davis.

wallace wright by no means is guaranteed a roster spot.

wallace wright by no means is guaranteed a roster spot.

i disagree, this guy was signed early on in the free agent process and was not just brought in for camp fodder. the guy is a great gunner who has something like 70 tackles over the past few years. guy will definitly be on the roster in my opinion.

I don't know man i don't see 14 spots. I only see a handful of openings that we can't likely fill with guys on the roster right now. I also will state who i would like to see fill it.

Backup DE with experience. ( Raheem Brock) familiar with system

Backup QB capable of mentoring and competing ( Charlie Batch ) less emotional than Jake

Backup or starting FB ( Naufahu Tahi ) Vikings FB low tender

WR who can also return kicks ( Mardy Gilyard ) Draft this kid. Effort player.

by no means are taylor and hayden guaranteed spots.

If I were Dwayne Jarrett (and sober) I wouldn't exactly be counting on a paycheck for 16 weeks next season either.

I would absolutely hate to have another WR on the team like Karl Hankton that can't contribute on offense. Sure Karl Hankton was a special teams ace, but it was a waste of a roster spot.

This team is built around field posistion battles. Having a couple of good gunners on special teams makes all the difference in the world. Sure, they might not light up the stat sheets the way fans would want them to, but you need special teams aces on a team like this if you want your playmakers to be able to their jobs exceptionally well.

Now, guys like Lloyd are a "luxery" because kickoff distance is meaningless in the face of kickoff return allowed. It doesn't matter if you kick it five yards into the zone if they get to the thirty yard line or better every time. That's why Lloyd was a wasted roster spot, while guys like Hankton or Wright are necessary.
