How many safeties and corners are we keeping?

[erod]

Considering special teams and depth needs, how nany defensive backs are we keeping?

12? I think maybe that's it, and they'll have to subtract elsewhere.

Safeties: Downs, Thompson, Locke, Hooker, Woods, and Clark

Corners: Revel, Bland, Durant, Bridges

Then there's Bell and Steward, and they like Kendrick.

Lots of key special teamers in that group.

I was looking at the roster earlier this morning.
I was looking at. 12, but that is a lot, I think 11.
But they have some tough choices at LB, WR, DB's.

All depends how many the keep at QB, WR, TE, OL, LB.

Right now I have.
3 QB
4 RB, including the FB
6 WR
4 TE
9 OL

5 DL
8 LB
5 S
6 CB

3 ST's

Could go 12 DB total, 9 LB if the go combination of 2 players at 1 less QB, 1 less WR, or 1 less TE

Bell can play linebacker in a pinch, which helps.

I've been wondering if Bland makes the team. He's just been so bad for 2 years running now. Yes, partially due to injuries, but also coverage issues.

I am looking more at Wood taking over for Bell. But AJ Clark is ahead of him right now for a roster spot. They said they like Clark a lot.

They can go short at corner given the flexibility of Caleb and Thompson.

Bland will make the team. Unless a set back or another injury.

CBs(6): Bland, Revel, Durant, Moore, Steward and Kendrick

Did Clark finally gain some weight?

He knows how to play, but lacks the physical traits to start. Feet are a bit slow.

Well, that's what everyone thinks, but will he? You willing to cut Bridges?

 

[jazzcat22]

CBs(6): Bland, Revel, Durant, Moore, Steward and Kendrick
S(6): Downs, Thompson, Hooker, Locke, Bell, (Clark or Woods)

This is almost what I have. I do have Clark over Bell and Wood

I agree on Safety. Kendrick is awful IMO. Steward is CB 4 for me. Rather see what Speed's potential is over Bridges too.

He is a good ST's player. So that gives him an edge.

Bridges is a fringe player at this point to me. They claimed him from waivers last year after the final cutdowns. Along with Steward.
He could be a factor. But bI doubt he pushes Bland off the roster.
Fans are down on Bland form his lack of play from his injuries.

Wood is a PSer/STs type. Doubt if he makes this roster, especially as we're now loaded at S. Locke is better.

He couldn't cover before the injuries. Now it's been 2 seasons of injuries. Might be time to move on.

Oh, I would be ok with it, or even traded. I just do not see it.
Depends on the cap hit.

Dude, I wasn't even thinking about Moore. Good catch.

I can't imagine they don't keep Woods and Clark. And Steward is just a ball of energy who gets things done here

Somebody is in trouble that they don't want to cut. They're probably rooting for an injury to a backup or something to protect someone.

He'll make the team. It would be a $17M+ dead money cap hit to cut him this year. It becomes more doable next year, dropping to about $4M in cap hit, but would be around that same mark for three more seasons afterward, I believe.

Before last night, I was still holding out hope for Caelen Carson!!!!
