Frankly I don't think this team is entirely done even after AJ Brown. I could see them trying to find a cheap depth LB option. And yes.. this has 2 draft picks going to the PS. Hutchings/Obiazor. Obiazor could potential get a spot though if he shows he is one of the top 2/3 STs options on this team.

Also a depth safety option wouldn't be out of line either.

Did you mean Muma instead of Mapu?

Don’t see Miller making this team.
The LB situation is bad, really interesting to see what will they do. Weird they didn’t retain Gibbens.

Not weird to me. Vrabel likes Britt and Muma more than Gibbens.

 

[Ring 6]

Douglas is traded or cut
Muma will have a similar impact as Gibbens did
Miller will make the 53
Not sold on Britt either
It's only April

Douglas is one of our 5 best WRs. No reason to get rid of him.

Douglas is one of our 5 best WRs. No reason to get rid of him.

If we kept 6...sure...

WR (5) Brown, Doubs, Boutte, Hollins, Williams

Is the thinking here that the Eagles will no longer demand Boutte or another WR in return for the trade?

I can see Morton getting the Foxboro Flu towards the end of camp and them starting the season with 2 QBs

That may give room for Douglas if indeed the Eagles drafting of Lemon means they won't demand Boutte or Williams in return.

We'll let the camp determine certain things but I wonder who we project as punt and kick returners this season. We put a lot on Henderson's shoulders last year period and might do well to let him focus on just being a 1a RB.
