I would note that many of these players could be beaten out for their roster positions. For example, if J Jones is good enough to be one our 5 corners, Coleman isn't needed, and a position opens up. Freeny might win one of the LB positions, opening up a roster spot. Alternatively, the #4 LB might be good enough at ST's to make Freeny unnecessary as a special teamer.

I would note that there are those who have different tradeoffs. Many of us would like to keep an additional OT, OG or TE. Some would want to know who takes Grissom's place on Special Teams.

J Jones was a god damn monster on ST last year. I remember a few occasions he beat slater to the spot, when the kick went to slaters half of field, and J Jones beat the double team to get there. If he can develop into a spot player in nickel/dime, its simply gravy.
 
I don't know who he replaces, but OT McDermott makes the team, I think.
