Kline's not very good, but neither is the rest of the interior OL. He's got just as much of a chance as anyone. More than, say, Barker.
Hard for me to see Washington losing to Dobson if it really comes down to this. Dobson just is not very good.Dobson and Washington will fight for a roster spot.
I don't understand why they would cut a 13 game starter because they're so worried about his $950k salary being guaranteed if he gets hurt. If his shoulder is still an issue, then don't let him practice. If his shoulder is fine, then his contract isn't bad at all for a backup or starting guard.
Who on that list is ensuring that Kline doesn't start in 2016? They obviously wanted more competition and have gotten that, but I don't see two guys guaranteed to start over Kline. And if he's not starting, then his contract is not at all excessive for a backup guard given that it is so heavily incentivized.If Kline were still consider a possible starting guard (your words), then we wouldn't have added Cooper, Thuney and Karras, after adding Mason, Jackson and Andrews last year.

I don't even think that there will be 5 WR's on the roster. I don't see how Dobson and Washington are fighting for an additional roster spot. At best, they both are competing for Martin's spot. I would note that Lucien and Harper are also competing for that roster spot.
Kline isn't great, but he's at least a JAG. Some of these other guys haven't even reached JAG status yet.OK, I'll bite:
- Cooper is a total question mark
- Thuney's position is TBD
- Jackson was a mixed bag as a rookie
- Karras is a late-round pick
- Andrews is a pure center
- Mason might be best at center as well
Honestly, is there a single OG on the roster who you feel confident would start over Klein? Yes, I hope and believe they'll end up doing better than him, but I see no reason to cut him at this point.

Cooper and Thuney basically bring the OL up to it's full complement. Kline plays both LG and RG and played 77.3% of the offensive snaps in 2015. Jackson had 54.6% and Mason 65.7%. I'm not a big Kline fan but I don't see anyone on the roster to challenge his spot right now. There are too many question marks concerning others on the OL to be comfortable in getting rid of Kline right now.
I wouldn't shed a tear if they cut Dobson, he will get a chance to compete but he faces much tougher competition for a roster spot then before.
