I dunno about 98%. We don't exactly have a lot of OL headed to Canton that we're trying to decide between, more like who wants to be Oscar the Grouch's roommates.

GhostofSparta Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Absolutely. Some bubble guy who shines bright enough can secure a bottom of the roster spot. Or if there's an injury somebody who was on the chopping block might be able to sneak in while somebody's on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyvern Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) I think existing contracts will be a factor. Frankly, for the candidates on the bubble, their performances in training camp, their versatility, and progress/fit with Washington's new offensive/defensive systems will play a bigger factor than what we see in a preseason game against 2nd and 3rd stringers. When you're talking about the last 5-6 positions on the bubble, the FO's decision-makers also need to consider whether they can safely stash the "losing candidate" on the practice squad ... Often this concern tends to favor those who were actual draft picks, versus UDFAs or walk-ons. Lastly, whenever you bring in a new coach from another team, they tend to favor players they've brought with them (for example, Kemp, Pringle, Wylie, etc). I suspect Bieniemy may push to retain folks he knew in Kansas City -- kind of like Rivera and ex-Carolina Panthers players. IMHO, the game vs. Bengals' 2nd and 3rd stringers won't be as big a factor as some folks think. Edited August 27, 2023 by Wyvern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
