Amerson, Baker, Breeland, Cofield, Compton T., Compton, W., Cousins, Davis, Akeem, Forbath, Garçon, Grant,, Griffin III,Hankerson, Helu, Jackson, DeSean, Jenkins, Jarvis, Kearse, Frank, Kerrigan, Ryan, Lauvao, LeRibeus, Lichtensteiger, Long, Miller, Gabe, Morris, Alfred, Paul, Niles, Redd, Silas, Reed, Jordan, Robinson, Keenan, Sundberg, Nick, Thomas, Phillip, Thompson, Chris, Way, Tress, Williams, Trent, Young, Darrel, Hatcher, Jason, Hayward, Adam, Ihenacho, Duke, McCoy, Colt, Moses,Morgan, Murphy, Trent, Neild, Chris

Some of those guys are no-brainers, but come on... Neild? I love Neild, love him, but he's torn his ACL in BOTH knees. If he could get the same push off the line as he had, even in 2013, after the first ACL tear, I'd be surprised.

And Hank? He'd be an upgrade over Roberts, but with Grant waiting in the wings (and who I think could be decent next season) we can't sign a good slot receiver? We're still hanging our hats fragile hips Hank?

*sigh*

I think I have 37/38 players, you can't get rid of everybody, gotta have some bodies in there. Nield is for depth. Where are you going to get the other 15-20 players?

Practice squad! lol they gotta be better then some of those lifeless husks they've got on the 53 man roster!

In all seriousness, I get it, Rome wasn't conquered in a day, and this is going to take at least a couple seasons of cuts, signings, drafting and development. I just hate to think that we'll end up with the some of the same worthless players next year as we have this year.

Unfortunately there's no easy way out. Some of our players (especially on D) could surprise under a competent DC.
