We keep at least 6 LBs every year, but iirc we very often carry 7 (because of special teams and needing bigger "speed" guys on the field to take on and beat blocks). I think there's a VERY good chance we go 7 because of the depth there.
Yea, it would be kind of hard to cut Te'o or Anthony. Pretty sure some dead money comes with cutting 1 of them.

Safety is more likely to have 6 guys. Again bigger speed guys on STs to tackle, and several of the guys there are known for STs, unlike the corners.
Considering the contract that we gave to Banjo...you could be right.

And I hate to say this cause I'll wring Payton's neck, but there is an off chance we keep 5 HBs. Just don't Payton. Let the dream live.
That would piss me off. Cadet & Murphy are both expendable imo. If CSP does keep 5, we both know it's going to be Cadet. CSP has a legit mancrush on him.
I think the additions of Kamara & Ginn pretty much sealed the fate of Marcus Murphy & Tommylee Lewis.

I looked up snap counts and found Anthony was actually the third highest LB in snap counts on STs.
I wasn't sure he could play STs, but after looking at that it's clear he can and did. So I find it hard to see him going (just when I was switching to him potentially being cut because I didn't think he could play STs).
And yeah that Banjo contract says we value him on STs. At the least I know think he makes it over Harris if we only keep 5, but I really see us keeping 6, especially with Keo playing a lot of STs snaps too last year.
And it made me sick just thinking about a slim possibility Cadet hangs around, and Murphyvs shown zero improvement, though I considered him better than Cadet last year for the fact that he only saw 1 offensive snap and Cadet saw way too many; I'd rather keep Murphy and not use him than keep Cadet and use him.
