7 Linebackers?

[Jeremy Igo]

Ben Jacobs being kept, so unless they are keeping 7 backers Trusnik or Mayo are probably gone.

[Growl]

Jacobs being kept for his ST ability suggest Trusnik may not be.

7 isnt a high number really though. You need 6 at least and it's a rep heavy, battle heavy position.

[PoundCat]

I'm thinking Trusnik, because I think there are still compensatory pick considerations still in play

[Blackmagic]

We'll see after weekend if we keep 7 because teams are letting good players go. I think that the players between number 48 and 53 aren't safe yet including Fozzy.

[stirs]

Trade Klein for a WR

[London Loves Luke]

That's one way of trying to improve ST I guess.

Maybe both gone.  Here are the 8 remaining players on the bubble by my calculations, with only 1 space remaining.

We could keep Brown (temporarily?) or a CB (due to injuries?) over Mayo or Trusnik. 

	Brown, Corey	WR	5'11	185	23	2
	Byndom, Carrington	CB	6'0	180	23	1
	Folkerts, Brian	C	6'4	310	25	3
	Mayo, David	LB	6'2	240	22	0
	McCray, Jordan	G	6'3	320	23	1
	Trusnik, Jason	LB	6'4	250	31	9
	Wallace, Martin	T	6'6	330	25	2
	Young, Lou	CB	6'1	205	23	1

Here are the 52 I have as currently safe on the roster.  A space will open up when we move Miley to short-term IR tomorrow.  Of these, given various confirmations that have already been leaked today (e.g. B. Williams, Amini, Chandler....) I don't think any could be considered on the Bubble unless T. Williams or Joe Webb unless there is some BIG surprise trade of a veteran...

[bobsfoodbasics]

^ miley is on short term IR

[KB_fan]

^ miley is on short term IR

pretty sure we can't put him there until tomorrow afternoon.  If I understand he needs to be on the 53 first before he can go to short-term IR

[Nick_81]

Mayo safe.

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview  29s29 seconds ago

David Mayo made the 53, so all draft picks are safe.

[Roebling]

I think its a no brainer. Trusnik is gone in this situation. 

[Smithers]

Can someone please tell me how the heck Richie Brockel keeps making the roster?  That's as stupid as keeping a backup punter.

[WOW!!]

Do we really need that many LB... And Gladus was better than most these dudes and we cut him???
