So, why do we need Avant again?
To be clear, i doubt he gets cut, but that's only because the rest of the players on the list are camp fodder.
But to act like he's anything but a JAG is silly.

This offense requires its receivers to do more than just be receiving options. They have to be effective blockers, too.
Reid even said Friday that it takes receivers 2-3 years to learn how to play in this offense. Having a guy like Avant on the roster to help the younger guys after practice, spending personnel time watching film together and other things he does is gonna help that learning curve and pay dividends with guys like Wilson, Thomas and Conley while also giving the team a reliable option both as a blocker and a possession receiver.
