Was just thinking about this the other day: Who do you think the WRs on the roster will be? The last few years, running the spread, they've kept 6, but I'm not sure the quality for that is there this year ...
LOCKS
Moss
Welker
Galloway
NEAR LOCKS
Greg Lewis
Brandon Tate
BUBBLE
Slater
Aiken
Edelman
(This crew is mostly STers and doubtful they could play full-time WR if injury bug hits)
Right now, IMO, you have to assume the NEP are adding another WR5. Tate could be that guy, but barring amazing recovery, he'll likely start on the PUP, so that leaves the NEP going into the season with really only four WRs.
Either that, or Aiken will play more WR this season. Personally, I'm leaning toward another vet WR.
But who? There are rumors Arnaz Battle will be cut; if he can stay healthy, he is the perfect physical possession WR to pair with Moss & Welker.
Not sure who else is out there ...
ETA: The other option is that they keep all four TEs currently on the roster, but that runs counter to the spread offense philosophy of the last few seasons.
