[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;1020584]Oline was the spot I looked at when you made your post, will that be the spot where they only keep 8 instead of 9....[/quote]

I think it comes down to whether Compton is good enough to be the swing guy (Pashos cut) and whether they give Rib one more year. If cut, Rib signs with a another team I think pretty quick.

[quote=JoeRedskin;1020587]I don't think Gettis has ever played center. I may be wrong.

Mathews, Pashos, Gettis and Chester are all pretty much one position players. That makes it tough to keep more than two of them given the other roster restrictions.

It's also why I think Hurt gets a spot if he can play this year.[/quote]

Played it in college and I was under the impression they were working him in at C.

Re: Predict the 2013 53 Man Opening Day Roster
 

Gotcha. Didn't realize that. I haven't seen (or more accurately - heard, read about) Gettis playing center. If he does, it could really come down to him or LeRib.

Re: Predict the 2013 53 Man Opening Day Roster
 

Gettis has looked better. Rib probably has more upside. Both I beieve can swing G/C theoretically.

NOw defense...that's a harder nut to crack given the suspensions and questions all over the place.

The more I think about it the more convinced I am that Wilson gets cut. The cap savings alone....

Wilson, as in Josh Wilson the CB?

Crawford and Thomas will be sorely missed this year.

With Crawford out, our corners will be Hall, Wilson, Biggers, Minnifield, and Amerson. Or maybe we cut Biggers and only carry 4 corners, although that's pretty doubtful.

I would agree with you if Crawford was healthy. But, sadly, he's needed now. Doesn't his contract expire at the end of this year?

Wilson may be one of those guys cut after the suspensions run or if/when T. Jackson is reinstated and "rosterized". It would give Amerson, Minnifield time to adjust to regular season game speed while having a serviceable starter opposite Hall. I just don't see us opening the season with Amerson, Minnifield or Biggers opposite Hall. A few games in ... maybe.

If you plan on cutting wilson I think salary cap dictates it has to be before his salary is guaranteed.

I agree -> If done for salary cap purposes, he must be cut before final roster. If he is being retained as a short term insurance policy, then we take the hit and move on when we feel the youngsters can take his spot on the field.

We could cut him, hope he clears waivers and try to resign. Not sure how he would feel about that. Who knows.

Tough call that would be a done deal if Crawford still on the roster.

Re: Predict the 2013 53 Man Opening Day Roster
 

I say keep Wilson on the roster until next offseason, when his contract expires, then let him sign somewhere else. We need him this season.

We would just try to redo his contract if that was the case, although we have already done that once this offseason with him. Given Crawfords injury, I doubt he is going anywhere now.

Just for future reference. After 4 years in the league, the player doesnt get put on waivers. Its an outright cut and he would be free to sign anywhere as a free agent. Saves the vets from having to worry about being claimed somewhere they dont want to be as well as not making them wait a day before starting to negotiate with the other teams.
