Look at my depth chart. Who is being edged out that you'd prefer over Spiller?

Ross Travis? Marcus Rush? Leon McQuay? Josh Mauga? De'Anthony Thomas?

DAT for certain, as Toub said he's the "toughest guy on the team", plus, he's Tyreek Hill insurance.

If Ross Travis doesn't have a strong camp, he's probably waived and if cleared, ends up on the PS but that's yet to be determined.

Mauga? Yeah, I think he's a bubble guy, especially since the Chiefs drafted Eligwe and traded for KPL.

McQuay's probably a PS guy. There's a logjam at safety and they didn't like what they saw of him at corner.

I count 5.

The way I see the PUP guys are as follows:

Nicolas, if he recovers, would push Rush out.

Ehinger likely pushes Devey out.

**DaneMcCloud** · 08-07-2017, 07:13 PM

Ehinger will start the season on the PUP.

He didn't have surgery until late November so unless he's a super human healer, he might not be even be active this year.

Matter of fact, it's not clear he's playing any special teams at all...

Welp, by God, there he is, returning the ball in the first preseason game.

Cut Jah Reid. Worst player on the field tonight by a LOT. He was getting beat on swim moves, power moves and just straight bum rushes by 4th string linemen for SF. Third down play in the third he got driven straight back into Mahomes lap by a guy that just ran directly at him.

Reid needs to be cut. He's trash.

Direckshun · 08-20-2017, 09:05 PM

I look at my OP and I still feel like the same player make it everywhere but at ILB.

It's pretty clear it's going to be DJ, Ramik, Mauga, KPL, and Eligwe.

March and Terrance Smith will be cut.

**jjchieffan** · 08-20-2017, 10:42 PM

I don't think I've heard Mauga mentioned this year. Has he done anything to keep his roster spot?

He's been signed to a non-JAG contract, for one. I know it's not a determining factor but it is a factor.

Secondly, he's playing second-string with KPL.

DAT has played his way onto the squad. He's looked elusive in space, has shown solid hands, has broken a tackle or two and provides the ability to return punts and kicks.

He'll make it over Jones. I'm not convinced that Jones won't make it over Robinson (who's shown very little to this point, IMO).

O.city · 08-24-2017, 09:50 AM

I think DAT actually becomes the weapons they hoped he'd be this year. He's been one of the better players on offense

What?

He signed a one year, $775k Vet Min deal that counts $615k against the cap with no guarantees or signing bonus.

Do you ever get ANYTHING right?

I know they're playing Witzmann at G right now but I think he can play T at least as well as Reid. He was a damn good tackle in college and was seemingly signed as a swing tackle when we originally brought him in. Honestly, I'm hopeful that they'll find a new veteran swing tackle in FA who will probably end up making putting Mama on the street. If they can't replace Reid, he's going to get someone hurt.

In the end, there were fewer truly difficult cuts than I'd imagined there'd be. When you start to look at the roster and see someone like Miller, a 30 yr old who's really nothing more than a backup for Logan and a guy that doesn't really project to be capable of helping elsewhere, you ask why he should actually make the squad over someone like King with developmental upside and more versatility. Or when you see a roster crunch at ILB because you've just committed Eligwe and KPL to the middle - why? Part of the appeal of KPL over Alexander was his ability to shift outside and Eligwe played OLB in his time in a 3-4.

It doesn't take much in the way of roster creativity to keep some players that I didn't see good ways to keep while getting rid of some guys that are truly trash heap players at this point.
