Predict the opening day 53 man roster

impossible to predict the opening 53 since there is bound to be someone who we add from waivers.

 

That looks about right to me, but I think Keglar will stick too.

 

M. Jones is gone and I think either Faggins or McCourtey is gone too.

We'll keep at least 6, probably 7 LBs (not including Amato). Stamer will stick because of ST and Keglar of depth.

 

NO way we cut Kegler and I agree one of those CBs listed is probably gone. I do think we could see a FA or two brought in at S or CB so that could mix things up. It probably comes down to McCourty and C. Williams battling it out for a spot if either stay because if there is a vet CB they like better both could be gone. IMO Faggins could be upgraded by bringing back Hill which doesn't say much for him.

 

There is no way a person who was cut from the Texans has any chance to make it in the NFL. Might as well make them the minor league.

 

I cant see keeping 5 rbs and only 5 wr's. Surely Nickey does not make the team and I agree Keglar stays and Mark Jones is gone. I would rather keep Mcourty and williams and cut Faggins.

 

why yall picking on Nickey? he has made a few plays the last 2 games.

i heard his name often in the Browns game. and it wasnt negative. but it was against the 3rd string.

Truthfully, I just dropped Faggins and added Harris. Why? Well, I think Faggins could be signed back without guaranteeing his salary for the whole season. Possibly. To me, it depends if the coaches think Williams can catch on quickly, if his talent outstrips Faggins' experience. I honestly can't really tell. I do know they let Williams start in Harper's place, so that may tell the tale. Either way, I know they would continue to upgrade this spot. Harris contributes on special teams and punt return in a pinch.

I doubt there's any way McCourty doesn't make the team. He's been the best gunner of the preseason. I seriously doubt there's an issue there. Faggins, Williams, I haven't seen stand out on teams, so I think one has to go. Faggins simply gives us some cap room to upgrade the spot, which I think it will be anyway.

If I could cut Mark Jones or Otto, I'd give Trepasso a spot as well.
