Interesting inclusion of Uche. I'd say cutting him would be a big surprise.

 

[50-yard-line]

Joey Slye looks like he can get in on the tackling with the new kickoff format, so there's that.

Interesting inclusion of Uche. I'd say cutting him would be a big surprise.

I'd be shocked also.

He turned down more money to come to us, and he is guaranteed $2.3M.

Not a big fan of Uche, at all, but I don't think he's going anywhere this season too.

Remove him, and add McMillian & Bedsore, and I'm in 100% agreement.

The Uch is like Chris Hogan…sucks as the primary player at the position but against lesser players and not double teamed…he can produce. He’s betting on himself this season…I just don’t see him very productive without a Judon type player on the other side.

Everyone besides Baker, Polk and Douglas at WR are on thin ice and fighting for jobs.

Uche should have no problem making the team as both Jennings and White (assuming he's on the edge) were putrid rushing the passer last season. If Barmore duplicates last season, Judon stays healthy and Uche is not doing the Chinese fire drill getting rotated on and off the field, he should have a bounce back season.

ROFL

Osborn and Bourne are NOT on thin ice, fighting for their jobs.

Osborn and Bourne are NOT on thin ice, fighting for their jobs.

Sure, because Bourne was such an important part of the offense the last two seasons and now coming off an injury. He is not an outside guy and is best suited for the slot, but Douglas is the better option. Now he has to fight for reps on the outside.

Osborn is a JAG.

If Polk, Baker or Thornton show they can play the outside, both Bourne and Osborn will be sweating.

You will imagine the sweat if Polk and Baker are pre-season super stars. Bourne and Osborn would just go on to the next game.
