The team was looking to keep 5 RB's not including Sellers. Portis, Betts, Rock, and most likely 2 of the last 3 RB's Mason, and either Alridge or Dorsey.

As for my 25.6 yrds per KR.....

NFL Stats: by Player Position

I stand corrected, he was tied for 22nd.

The 5 RB number, as far as I understood it, included Sellers. BUT, we could still keep 4 RB (including AA or GD as the 3rd tailback), 5 WR's and a dedicated KR/ST. If so, and as D. Smith pointed out, that player has to do more than just return kicks. But, yea, they probably could reserve a spot just for that without changing the position dynamic to much.

I think we all know how this works....if DS, Cerrato, or Zorn wanted any certain person on the team and someone had to be cut to keep their player I'm sure D.Smith would find someone else on the team to use to get the job done. I'm sure he has a say but ultimatly we know if the front office or Zorn is high on someone their staying.
