Bada is technically on some sort of IPP version of IR. They basically got an extension to figure out what to do with him while he’s hurt. I imagine he’ll be moved to the roster exempt PS spot eventually.
Reaves to the PS! Looks like we’re at 14/16 by my count. One of those last spots will likely be a QB from somewhere else (Montez signed on Detroit’s PS)
DL William Bradley-King
DL Gabe Wright
OL Beau Benzschawel
RB Peyton Barber
OL David Steinmetz
LB Jared Norris
WR Antonio Gandy-Golden
DL Daniel Wise
OL Keith Ismael
OL Wes Martin
LB Jordan Kunaszyk
DL Bunmi Rotimi
DB Danny Johnson
DB Jeremy Reaves
Barber on the practice squad seems like the perfect scenario.
I hope Moreland and Reaves end up on the PS but I wouldn’t fault them for trying for a new start somewhere else.
Yeah I think they were a little nervous about the other potential kick and punt returners both being rookies (Patterson and Milne), so Carter gives them a veteran bridge at both spots. Will be something to watch… if he doesn’t produce there I’m guessing they won’t wait around forever.
Yeah Thomas is your “big” target. Terry is great at bringing in contested catches, regardless of his size. Dyami Brown has a similar ability. If you need a designated guy to throw fades to, you’ve got Cam Sims. Plenty of versatility with this group.
From what I can gather, the final 3 cuts will come from this group:
Deandre Carter (Milne is safe)
Ricky Seals-Jones (Reyes is safe)
Casey Toohill (Toney is safe)
David Bada
Jared Norris
David Mayo
Darryl Roberts
Darrick Forrest
I could really see any of them being cut. I think Bada is one cut since we can stash him for free on the PS. I’d probably lean RSJ over Carter given the makeup of the rest of the receivers but I could go either way on that. Toohill may get cut with an injury designation. Roberts wasn’t impressive but given that McTyer and Forrest are banged up they may think they need the depth there. Still would be surprised that he showed enough to keep over Moreland though.
