On a real note, I'm wondering if we keep 4 TEs. I don't think so but only because of need to keep some of the draft picks. I think Hannah can play in this league. Getting time behind Witten and Bennett, being a receiving TE, and us needing a more complete TE (read blocking) will be his biggest impediments.

Two ways I see us keeping 4 a) 4th contributes as a H-back and offers more than Anderson at FB and b) the 5th WR behind Williams, Austin, Crayton, and Hurd is someone who could pass waivers (i.e., 2 or 3 guys are about the same for the spot and we can get a few on the PS).

Since we've got 2 PKs on the roster, luxuries like 4 TE become less likely

Thought about the first but not the second.

I was thinking more about Butler and Williams and the two CBs having a spot.

I'm not sure Anderson even has the FB job. Crosslin may be better. I really like Hannah and would like to keep him though.

He better tape it up and tough it out. These borderline players that cant play through pain need to be sent packing.

My first thought is yeah you're right. Depends on where the break is and what kind. Some have to be reduced/pinned/yada or you risk dysfunctional fingers, decreased grip and cosmetic problems. You just can't rub dirt on some of these injuries.

Well judging from his pain tolerence he indeed wears cosmetics. He needs to practice he needs the work, if not he will need to find work.
