They will not carry 4 TE's, particularly when you have Samuels, Grimble and McGee will fight for 3rd spot.

They also will not keep 11 DB's.

I believe for his return skills Quadre Henderson will make the 53 man and could replace DHB. He will keep AB and JuJu from
risking injury and could be more productive in an offensive role than DHB. I hope Rogers recovers and is signed to replace
Hunter.

Hopefully Fazier knocks out McCullers.

UDFA Thomas will knock Fort out. Fort is obsolete with Burnett and Allen better at passing down Macks.

I don't see 4 tight ends. Samules can play some TE too. Add +1 to LB or OL, I think

11 DB's? Sensabaugh and Berte are bubble players. Might only have ten, with some practice squad guys.

Dobbs over Landry Jones? Not a chance unless Rudlpoh is close to winning the back up job. Would love to trade Jones if that happens!.

IMO Ridely is likely cut

Not a bad take though, you likley got 49-50 players correct.

Slash, as with Ford's pick, I don't think DHB or Hunter are locks. I know this is way early but I've got this "GUT" feeling (could be something I ate..) But DHB is probably gone and If Rogers is a healthy signing maybe he beats him out.

Oh neither is locks, for sure. But DHB keeps getting that special team nod. Hunter if Eli doesn't get back to healthy.

I wouldn't even mind them bringing in a WR.... some still floating around on the market.
 
After the competition committee release the notice today that Two man Wedges are outlawed, no running start on Kickoffs and only 3 players allowed on the back end, kickoffs may be gone sooner rather than later. So the DHB type vets days are numbered. Don’t count out Marcus Tucker either, he could beat out either DHB, Hunter or Eli. No doubt another backer or edge rusher will be added as well.

Maybe DHB. Hunter probably not. My feeling.

Hope you didn't eat anything too heavy
 
Eli may be PUPed.

Like it Ford. I can't disagree. I personally would have Hawkins over McGee on O. I think you're right. Last year we had 9 LBs and 4 S. This year we will have 8 LBs and 5 S. It's sub package football baby!
