With lawler getting healthy and lucky taking a spot doesn’t make sense to keep Alston around. Imagine Johnson to the pr and Alston goes home. Mitchell could be sent out for an nfl cut too. doesn’t make sense to keep grimes mcghee and bridges all around when we are using Kelly at half, rostering karamoko, and are dressing griffin as a back up/dime and he’s been killing it. I could see two of them sent packing for nfl cuts. Smith and case are pretty interchangeable, though I’d rather have a di who could play rb than wr. I could see him sent packing for an nfl cut too. I could see us being in the market for a de if habba isn’t going to be ready soon. A wil/sam/s tweener like Cole to replace him if he won’t be back this year would be good. A 4th qb audition for camp wouldn’t be a surprise. A punter would be really fantastic but probably won’t happen till the off season.

Expand They moved Haba to the single game injury list at the end of July instead of re-upping him on the 6 game list so hopefully that's a sign he'll be back sooner rather than later. wbbfan 1
M.O.A.B. Posted August 13 Report Posted August 13 There's a chance Habba can be inserted this week, giving us 8 DL in the lineup. I'm thinking Ayers who was injured last game will come off. Ideally, you want a LB to replace Ayers but we dont have healthy Amer LB on the PR. I think that' the priority that Walters need to fill with the NFL cuts.. wbbfan and rebusrankin 2

Dirty30 Posted August 13 Report Posted August 13 Is Shoen done for the year or just the regular season? Is there any chance of a return? If not how much of his contract goes against the cap?

Guess that means Josh Johnson is somehow still in the lineup and I'd imagine Wheatfall would be next in line at that spot.
