QB: Sam Darnold, Will Grier, PJ Walker (would’ve loved to add Minshew but oh well, for now, I give Grier the edge as QB2)

RB: Christian McCaffrey, Chuba Hubbard, Reggie Bonnafon

WR: DJ Moore, Robby Anderson, Terrace Marshall Jr, Shi Smith, David Moore, Brandon Zylstra 

very unfortunate what happened to Shi Smith last night. He had a great camp & preseason, hopefully, it isn’t as serious as it looked and he can return and see some action this year. When healthy, he’s the #4 wideout. But for now, Zylstra and Kirkwood likely take the empty spots until he comes back. 

TE: Dan Arnold, Tommy Tremble, Ian Thomas. I could very much see Thomas being cut or traded for a late pick. He’s miles behind Arnold and Tremble, and they could save just over 2 million in cap space by doing so. What I find interesting is we all though Tremble would be our H - Back type, but it’s been Giovanni Ricci lining up in that role all preseason. 


O line (Holds Breath) 


LT: Cam Erving, Trent Scott

LG: Pat Elflein, Dennis Daley

C - Matt Paradis, Sam Tecklenburg 

RG: John Miller, Deonte Brown

RT: Taylor Moton, Brady Christensen 

 

This is what we likely see week one. Although by midseason, I just can’t see the 3 weak link vets keeping the hungry rooks on the line for long. By week 8 I believe we’ll see: Moton-Daley-Paradis-Brown-Christensen. 
 

Defense


LDE: Brian Burns, Marquis Haynes

LDT: Derrick Brown, Bravvion Roy

RDT: DaQuan Jones, Daviyon Nixon 

RDE: Morgan Fox, Yetur Gross-Matos

SLB: Shaq Thompson, Frankie Luvu

MLB: Jermaine Carter Jr, Clay Johnston (please add some depth here, Fitterrer)

WLB: Haason Reddick 

LCB: Donte Jackson, Keith Taylor Jr, Rashaan Melvin 

RCB: Jaycee Horn, AJ Bouye, Stanley Thomas-Oliver

SS: Jeremy Chinn, Kenny Robinson, Myles Hartsfield (Hartsfield makes the team as a nickel/slot while Bouye serves his suspension, and Melvin nurses an injury.

FS: Juston Burris, Sam Franklin 

Special Teams:

Kicker: Ryan Santoso

Punter: Joe Charlton 

Return Specialist: Trenton Cannon (also the 4th RB/7th WR ATM) 

LS: JJ Jansen 


 

Fringe roster/practice squad options: Spencer Brown, Phil Hoskins, Christian Miller, Sean Chandler, Thomas Fletcher


Thoughts?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
