Phins will be crying about the lack of a heat stroke game vs the Bills.
7 WRs seems like too many and 5 CB (esp 3 boundary CBs) seems too little.My shot at a roster prediction:
QB (2): Allen, Trubisky
RB: (4): Cook, Johnson, Davis, Gilliam
WR (7): Coleman, Samuel, Shakir, MVS, Hollins, Shorter, Claypool
TE (3): Kincaid, Knox, Morris
OL(9): Dawkins, Edwards, McGovern, Torrence, Brown, Collins, Van Pran-Granger, Clapp, Van Demark
DL (10): Miller, Epenesa, Jones, Oliver, Rousseau, Johnson, Williams, Carter, Toohill, Solomon
LB (6): Milano, Bernard, Williams, Spector, Ulofoshio, Jones
CB (5): Johnson, Douglas, Benford, Elam, Hardy
S (4): Rapp, Bishop, Edwards, Lewis
ST (3): Bass, Martin, Ferguson
PS: Buechele, Gore, Shavers, X.Johnson, Anderson, Grable, Clayton (non-claimable), Bills, Jonathan, Cline, Ankou, Ingram, Brown
I wouldn't be surprised to see Beane add someline like Steven Nelson to the CB group with a contract like what he gave to MVS.
still have a couple of your FA CB's out there. I wonder if they split that June 1 money (6M) between a depth CB, and Safety (Poyer/other).7 WRs seems like too many and 5 CB (esp 3 boundary CBs) seems too little.
The only way would be special teams WRs winning those core spots. With Neal and Matakevich gone, those core ST spots are open for the taking.
Looks like a very incentive-laden contract. A lot cheaper than you were expecting, I think.
The other thing to consider with this MVS deal is they don't have the White money available. So it can't be that big of a cap hit. They were under 3 million left yesterday. If MVS has a ~4 million cap hit, it would take them down to 0. I'm guessing it's close to 2, though, and we're now sitting at under 2 in space until we get Tre money.
I think Hollins and Shorter are going to pull some special teams duties.7 WRs seems like too many and 5 CB (esp 3 boundary CBs) seems too little.
Shavers was also a ST demon in college I believe ? Someone else to watch in camp anyways to see what he can do.I think Hollins and Shorter are going to pull some special teams duties.
Most of the roster is shaped by asking "who do we want to hold on to?" Eg: you have to keep Solomon on the roster. He'll get snagged if he's on the PS.
As posted above - i don't think it's going to be that extreme. They won't carry seven. I'm thinking Samuel, Shakir, Coleman, Hollins, MVS are locks & maybe one more guy (likely Shorter or Shavers) if they predominantly play special teams.As far as the MVS signing -- I've read in a few places that he's a reliable blocker for a WR too.
We're going to be rotating WRs a LOT this season.
Isn't Tua waiting on a contract? Im surprised MIA didnt want to set the market. Maybe they're going to franchise tag him?

His competition will be Anderson/Clapp. There's probably only one spot there.My darkhorse to make the roster is Keaton Bills. I'm not writing this for the novelty of it all.
He's a big kid with a lot of the things you look for in a guard: very strong, strong hands, great anchor strength, smart, understands the offense, played almost 40 games as a college starter.
His feet need a lot of work and he's not a natural athlete and bender/mover.
But he's older, is married and has a kid. He's going to take camp and preparation very seriously. I think Kromer is going to like him and want to keep him.

Gotta believe Lions on Thanksgiving will be a draw.If I had to take a stab at the nationally televised games:
Obviously week 2 vs. Miami on Amazon.
We've got 2 MNF games. I'm guessing home vs. San Fran and then away vs. Houston
I think we'll get 2 SNF games -- away vs. Baltimore and then away vs. Detroit
Then our KC game will get an exclusive 4:25 PM game on CBS.
I don't think either of them is any great talent that couldn't be beat out.His competition will be Anderson/Clapp. There's probably only one spot there.
