Here's my guess. As usual, trying to get some different opinions.

Harper is a lock. They wouldn't have asked him back and he wouldn't have come back if he wasn't.
He may not make the "final 53" in the first week because of the guarantee rules (they'll keep a rookie or cheaper guy so less money is guaranteed, cut him, and then sign and pay the vet week to week with no commitment).
And I doubt Stupar is a lock. He has the inside edge at the moment (or maybe not because they like Mauti also) but with all the young safeties and corners showing out he may not cut it.
Last note would be that we are keeping at least 5 WRs (again week 1 "final 53" may be a bit odd but it always balances back), so it would be keep 2 or 3.
Edit:
So I lied. Last note is I doubt we keep more than 8 OL (we usually keep exactly 8, rarely carrying 9) given the lack of depth and horrible reports out of camp about how bad the 2nd and 3rd string Olines have been.

Yea, I see Harper & Harris both as locks(as of now), but b/c some people might choose 4 safeties...I wanted to give them all the options.
We have to keep atleast 5 LB's. You're probably right on Stupar not being a lock, and if he doesn't make it then I guess Mauti would be the favorite. I've read a few things on Dillon Lee & Schoettmer , but I'm not sure if they even have a chance.
I agree on the 5 WR's at minimum, but some people on this board like the idea of keeping just 4. I seriously doubt we keep 6...I think a couple of those guys make practice squad though.

I can see all those points.
But yeah I feel Mauti has just as good of a shot as Stupar so I see neither as a lock.
Then again we could keep both.
Maybe move Stupar to the bubble guys and change it to pick 1 or 2?

What's the point of keeping Elston when there's Byrd/Vaccaro/Harris/Harper/Bell in front of HIM? Perfect prax squad candidate.
We have to FIND a way to keep Harris and Crawley on the squad.
JACK Allen will make this team.
The toughest CUTS will be running back. Ingram and Spiller are locks. Don't see them spending a 7 on Lascoe and cutting him bc of the value he brings on ST that Hightower and Cadey don't
Daveson will start at NT and Fairley/Rankins will rotate next to him. This will be a strength of the team. Robertson may eventually end up out snapping John Laurenitis 60%+
Dennis Allen COY

I hate carrying 3 QBs. Wish we didn't we could keep one more of the young DBs

Read a article about TommyLee Lewis & Bill Parcells and how they've been friends since he was in high school. He is probably a lock over Coleman.

That's neglecting the fact we may cut people too (looking at Jenkins), so we may end up with an extra spot.

I just want to say: this was really fricking hard.
Lasco looks like a really good fit for our system. I think he will be good in the Spiller role if we choose to get rid of him next offseason. We will have to figure something out at returner because there just isn't room.
No brainer. I still think it wouldn't surprise me if we rolled with 0 here and just used Hooman though.
Not seeing much out of these other guys. With Spiller and Lasco on the roster we roll with 5.
Allen is looking like a stud in camp. We need a little insurance incase shite goes wrong with Unger contract. Eulls has made the transition well. With Peat serving as the backup T, I think we roll with two interior guys and keep Hills on speed dial if there is an injury.
Forbath has been better. Either will be fine though, seems like they're both kicking arse (geddit?).
Tull hasn't been given enough of a chance yet.
Gotta have both of these guys. Solid ST + backups.
I am really, really stumped here. I have 10 out of 13 spots filled and I really want to keep Harris, Crawley, Harris and Harper. This is going to be really tough on the team. DeVante Harris and Crawley have looked too good in camp to not get a shot at a really shitty other team's roster if we cut them. When you have solid talent, you have to sign them. I would really like to keep Brian Dixon (he is by far our best ST player) but roster room is a major issue at this point so one of these guys will have to step up there.
Harper takes the fall here. I really want to keep him for his leadership but I choose young talent.
As much as I believe in Grayson, if he doesn't show something in the preseason I wouldn't be surprised to see them cut bait and keep Harper or maybe Murphy.

Lasco will make it just for ST. Can play on kickoff teams.
Posted on 8/9/16 at 11:59 pm to bonethug0108
If I recall correctly, Stupar signed a 3 yr 14 million dollar deal. I would think that makes him a lock to make the team.
