With McClain out for the 1st 4 games, I don't see him being cut. I think they keep 7 LB's, and Wilber, K. Smith, but possibly Brinkley going once McClain returns.
Trying Wilber out at mlb tells thy would, not Wilber, necessarily, but I can see them sliding Hitches over at the mike, Wilber at sam, and Lee over at the weak side.
I could see him being cut when McClain returns. I think they'll take 6 and possibly 7 at initial roster cuts, not including McClain, because Keith Smith has stood our this preseason. Don't imagine they'll keep 8 when Rolando returns though.
It seems to me that Brinkley and T. McClain are progress stoppers on the defensive side of the ball. I don't think letting either go would hurt the team just leave us with some dead money.
